Workers Union Local No. 331
held their annual Nev Year’s
party at the Swain Center on
New Year’s night with William
H. Stewart, of Rocky Mount
and Durham, delivering the an
nual message in the form of
a resume of labor’s progress
over the years.
Special guests of the Golds
boro host union, which put 14
some SSOO for their party, were
members of Smithfield, AFL
CIO No. 333, who sat at the
guest table.
Miss Agnes Stallings re
sponded to the generous wel
come extended by Mrs. Gladys
Joyner.
Stewart, who Is supervisor
organizer for AFL-CIO, has
many years of experience be
hind him. He reminded the au
dience of the many attempts on
the part of tobacco manage
ment in past years to keep
labor divided' and discouraged
from unionization. Stewart said
that in his early years of labor
organizing, management fol
lowed the traditional line of
keeping Negroes divided by pro
mising to give him, personally,
any consideration he wished, if
only he would refrain from
stirring up discontent among the
rank and file Negro workers.
This he refused to accept, tell
ing the factory owners that he
wished progress for his peo
ple as a whole rather than just
for himself.
Stewart pointed out that timid
workers need not expect to ob
tain favor from the ‘-'bosses”
by staying out of the unions
and tat tie big on those who seek
organization; because smart
employers no longer appreciate
that kind of worker, because
th- know that “a dog which
ii! tiring a bone, will carry
"lie The modern-day fac
’ -i net, Stewart said, Is
‘''ii, nii-iate of his workers be
ing progies ive and their ef
forts to improve themselves,
becniiM he knows that well
paid .uni happy workers will turn
out more and better work, thus
bringing him more money for
his products, be they tobacco
or textiles.
The Local No. 331 gave to
ward the Empty Stocking Fund
in 1964, and the same amount
Christmas of 1965, along with
other personal contributions.
Music for the program and
the dancing, which followed the
sumptuous dinner, was by The
Mighty Contrailers - an eight
man combo - directed by Joe
Everett, Henry A. Wooten, Jr.,
and Elijati Jones of La Grange,
Sam Cooke was the vocalist.
Yes, We All Yolk
BY MARCUS H. BOULWARE
ORIGIN OF WORDS
The word “biscuit” means
“twice cooked;*' Our mothers
bake them only once, unless she
toasts them. The German peo
ple make a type of biscuit
called “Zwieback,” which
means, and literally Is, “twice
baked.”
BEDLAM
“Bedlam” is a corruption of
the proper name Bethlehem, a
place In England where St. Ma
ry’s Hospital for' the Insane is
located. That place was knovm
as “Bedlam,” so the word bed
lam was coined for any place
that is noisy, upsetting, and con
fusing.
SANDWICH
“Sandwich” was named after
the Earl of Sandwich, a card
player who hated to leave the
game io eat. He ordered meat
and bread brought to him, and
then he put the meat between
the slices of bread. The ser
vants called this a sandwich.
BOYCOTT
The word "boycott" which
civil rights workers use so
freely these days, was derived
from Captain Boycott in 1880.
He was ostracized by the Irish
Land-Leaguers. His name was
used so often in connection with
ostracism that it came to mean
"to withhold business from.”

THE VETERANS
CORNER
EIDOTR’S NOTE: Below are
some authoritative answers by
the Veterans Administ rat ion
to some of the many current
questions from former service
men and their families. Furth
er information on Veterans be
nefits may be obtained at any
VA office.
q how can a veteran sell
ing his home be relieved of
liability on a VA guaranteed
loan?
A-- One method is to re
quire the purchaser to pay off
the GI loan with his own re
sources or to obtain a new loan.
Another method is to have the
purchaser assume all the vet
eran’s liabilities on the home
and have the VA approve the
assumption agreement and spe
cifically release the veteran
from further liability to the VA.
* * *
Q -- In 1946, my ten percent
disability was reduced to zero
per cent. The reduction to
zero percent made reinstate
ment possible if my disability
reoccurred. Does my zero per
cent entitle me to reinstate my
National Service Life Insur
ance, which I dropped in 1946?
*A -- Since it appears that
you have a service-connected
disability, you may apply for the
new insurance which is being
sold by the Veterans Adminis
tration. Application must be
made before May 2, 1966.
* * *
q — My application for in
surance under the law which
permits service-connected dis
abled veterans to apply for in
surance until May 2, 1966, was
rejected because I had a non
service-connected disability in
addition to my service-connect
ed disability. This nonservice
connected condition has im
proved and is no longer dis
abling. Will the insurance now
be granted.
A-- You should make anoth
er application for the insur
ance as soon as possible based
on your present condition of
health.

Pianist Ramsey l§wis
Fins Sidemen, Dissolves
CHICAGO (NPI) - In a move
that has been called one of the
most ‘‘vicious throat-cuttings”
of 1965, jazz pianist Ramsey
Lewis last week sumarily fired
bassist Eldee Young and Isaac
"Red” Holt, percussionist, af
ter an 11-year partnership.
Rumors were rampant in No
vember when Ramsey Lewis
Trio was booked in for three
Texas dates and the pianist
appeared in the Lone Star state
without his regular sidemen.
Article Charles Vaughn, en
tertainment editor, Houston
Forward Times, was the first
to report this incident and im
mediately focused the attention
of the nation on the internal
troubles of the group.
However, in an exclusive in
terview with the fired musi
cians, NPI learned at the time
that only a mild disagreement
existed and a settlement would
be forthcoming.
Later, it seemed that cour
ier-delivered letters from
Ramsey E. Lewis, Jr. to Holt
and Young presaged the defi
nite signs of his intentions to
fire them.
AU-ELECTRIC
_ iIVING
HOW
MUCH
DOES
REAUV
COST?
Here are actual biils for typical
homes to help you decide for
yourself. In each of these All-
Electric homes flameless electric
ity from CP&L is the only energy
source. The dollars-and-cents
figure is the cost to the home
owner for 12 months of aii-electric
living.
To make your own comparison,
just choose the All-Electric home
most nearly like yours. Add your
own bills for electric service and
heating fuel during the past 12
months. Compare what you get
with the cost of all-electric living.
You'll find a meaningful answer.
All-electric living is priced
lower than ever. CP&L's rate for
all-electric homes has been re
duced four times since 1960.

A top-secret meeting of the

ger John Levy and Atty. Robert
Tucker at Morton’s Steak
House, Chicago on Nov. 10,
proved fruitless and the pianist
served notice of his intention
to dissolve any and all part

A final two-week notice, dat

Lewis at the request of his
partners so that they might meet
and iron out their differences.
The new deadline was set for
New Year’s eve, Dec. 31. No
agreement was reached.
The notices were delivered
to the sidemen and said, in

‘‘lt is my desire, and this

‘‘Upon your failure to agree
to a voluntary dissolution, this
