4 t Threats May Force Foe Of Union To Change Residence i CANTON, III., June 23 -P-Lloyd H. Sidener said Thursday that his family has been so fre quently threatened because of his fight with the United Mine Work ers union that they plan to seek refuge in Florida.

Lewis, the union's national president also had '. publicly ordered the men back to work, but Sidener said it was ac companied by another secret order to the contrary. After the strike ended on March 5, Sidener was ousted from the local presidency and the union fined him $50,000.

Stephens Phont 971 The forest at your left is at your mercy. Toss q burning cigarette out your car window, and you may reduce this land to the unproductive waste at the right. Careless smokers cause a quarter of our forest fires. They are responsible for approximately 20,000 for est fires a year. Such thoughtlessness can easily nul lify long years of effort to produce new forests. America's very security depends upon the produc tive capacity of our forest lands.
