Good Work, "Pop!"
THE Community Chest has gone "over the top", and
this community has every right to be proud of it
self and the men and "women who made the highly
successful campaign possible.
We commend Chairman "Pop" Gates and his
co-workers for a job well done. The dividends that
Chest dollars will pay in human happiness and wel
fare are ample reward for workers and contributors
alike.
The generous support extended by neighboring
communities in this year's Chest campaign is espec
ially encouraging. Jacksonville, for example, turned
in a greater number of individual contributions than
there are families within its city limits. In this particu
lar instance, the Girls Scouts performed an excellent
job of soliciting.
. . .
IT is also to the credit of our citizenry that, in these
trying time3, such emphasis has been placed upon
character-building for boys and girls. This fact was
true in the nation-wide "mobilization for human
needs", and rightly so. The hope of America's future
lies in the millions of youngsters who will become the
citizens of tomorrow. They are, after all, our greatest
resource. We would indeed be lacking in wisdom and
foresight if we did not build in them a strength of
character and a firm faith in liberty and democratic
ideals.
TO those who have not yet contributed to the Chest,
we might offer the friendly reminder that funds
will still be accepted and put to mighty good use.

John L. single-handed could (and John L. may!)
through his hatred for Roosevelt and his unquenched
lust for personal power, so obstruct and disorganize
the U. S. defense program, that Soviet Russia will go

And no individual, or

would also favor the laws repeal.
Finally, if radical labor should object, we would
respectfully quote John L. Lewis' own pal, Philip

What greater service could CIO, or organized

THE CALL OF
A person who has chronic In
flammation of the lining of the
gall-sac, whether gall-stones are
present or not, is likely to suf
fer periodic at-
tacks of "in
testinal Indi
gestion", as it
is often called,
with pain, flat
ulence or dis
tension by gas,
and often dis
tress or op
pression refer
red to the
heart, perhaps
with some ir
regularity o f
heart action all commonly at
tributed to "gas". During the
attack the patient may belch a
good deal and when consider
able gas is thus eructed relief
may follow, so that the relief
is attributed to "getting rid of
the gas" which is a false In
ference. Mere presence of a
large amount of -gas or air
causes neither pain nor serious
oppression or embarrassment of
the heart. The relief is actually
due to subsidence of irritation
by excessive acidity, or to sub
sidence of the muscle spasm in
stomach, gall-sac or bile-duct,
the spasm of colic, and subsi
dence of such spasm about the
upper part of the stomach per
mits gas to be freely belched, or
about the lower end of the sto
mach permits the gas to pass
along thru the intestine.
Such a "gas attack" or "acute
intestinal indigestion" severe
enough to demand medical at
tention in the night, especially
if it is a repeat performance and
the patient is "fair-fat and for
ty", makes a diagnosis of cho
lecystitis (gall-bladder inflam
mation) with or without gall
stones, at least fairly probable.
Even tho the patient com
plains of "acidity" or "sour sto
mach" chemical analysis shows
lower acidity than normal in
about two cases of gall-bladder
trouble out of three.
Dyspepsia is the chief com
plaint in two out of three cases.
Pain is the chief complaint in
one-third of the cases.
The pain of inflammation of
the gall-bladder is usually felt
in the upper quadrant of the
belly or in the lower part of the
right chest, but sometimes it is
referred to the back under the
shoulderblade.
One subject to cholecystitis

cause contractions of the gall
sac and produce or increase pain
or colic.
Naturally and normally the
ejection of the chyme (partly di
gested food mass) from the sto
mach into the duodenum, which
occurs mainly two to three
hours after a meal, stimulates
contraction of the gall-sac and
bile-ducts and expulsion or ejec
tion of bile into the intestine
where it is required for the fur
ther digestion of the chyme.
This effect is more vigorous
when the food happens to con
sist largely of fat, such as egg
yolk, cream, butter, animal fats,
olive oil. Hence it may be ad
visable to reduce the propor
tions of these foods in the diet
when gall-bladder trouble is se
vere. It has been theoretically pro
posed that these foods and cer
tain others, notably peas, beans,
wheat, liver and brains, because
they contain considerable cho
lesterol, be excluded from or
kept at a minimum in the diet
of the cholecystitis patient, as
cholesterol enters into the form
ation of most gallstones. I dont
know much about it, but I doubt
that this idea is of practical im
portance. I do know that there
is no sound reason why one with
gall-bladder trouble should not
eat all kinds of lean meats, cot
tage or Dutch cheese, milk, and
all kinds of fruit and vegetables,
with the possible exception of
the two mentioned peas and
beans. And I believe one with
gall-bladder trouble generally
gets along more comfortably on
four or five light or small meals
than on two or three large or
heavy meals daily.

urally, these $l-a-year men see
that part of the business goes
to their company. This Is the
point the Truman committee
and the house liberal bloc Is
concerned about. 1
Army and navy, when they
wanted a tank, anti-aircraft gun
or whatever, placed their orders
with the largest companies in
the country; the concerns have
felt they could complete the
order and deliver on time.
Neither army nor navy was con
cerned about small business;
they were not looking for little
shops to do this or that. This
went on well enough for a time,
but little business began starv
ing to death because it could
either not obtain materials or
Its priority was worthless. Lit
tle business began to yell and
congress took heed.
VERY frankly, the man ap
pointed to distribute contracts
to small business declared that
unless something is done 20.000
small industries would suffer.
Another official estimates that
120.000 little concerns must go
out of business because all the
material must be used for de
fense. Civilians, he contends,
will have to get along as best
they can: that is the sacrifice
the people must make in this
emergency.
This means that every indus
try, almost without exception,
from Bellingham, Wash., to
Medford, Ore., will be forced to
close and their workers thrown
out of employment. There Is
already a trend In that direc
tion; shops shutting down and
the workers going to the ship
yards. The big companies have
received millions of dollars for
plant expansion and new ma
chine tools and are undertaking

as is the practice in England.
The picture as seen by the
liberal bloc ii that when the
war Is over the entire business
of the United States will be in
the hands of a few industrial
corporations and the country
will be strewn with the ruins
of small business. The liberals
wish .to probe into this situa
tion and discover whether there
is a remedy. They also promise
something sensational. If the
probe is made; the Truman com
mittee promises nothing, but ex
pects to show up some peculiar
things in the matter of awarding

Fears John L. Lewis Dictatorship
To the editor:
In our present national labor
trouble I hope one great crisis
is past, since our president had
the courage, the good Judgment
and the wise counsel which
prompted him to tell John L.
Lewis that our government
would never try to force an
employer to make a closed-shop
or union-shop agreement with
any union.
I do not believe that will end
the trouble at all but at least
It is a step in the right direction. I
Labor unions have done a
great deal to better the lot of;
the worker, no one will deny, j
and there is still much to be
done. But it can be done much
more effectively by considering
the welfare of the whole nation
rather than only one minority
group, or the personal aspira
tions of some labor leader.
I may be unduly apprehensive
but it seems to me we are in
greater danger from dictatorship
within our own country than
from Hitler's dictatorship.
If John L. Lewis had, or if
he still does succeed in getting
his closed-shop or union-shop he
will be well on the way to be
coming our dictator. He would
have almost complete control of
the coal industry, which in turn
would enable him to get control
of the steel industry, then the
auto and other kindred indus
tries. Then he could paralyze at
will our whole Industrial life
and perhaps defy our national
government and become in fact
a dictator in a big way.
I think we should not only
NOT force the union or closed
shop, but should pass laws, and
enforce them, prohibiting any
such arrangement in any de
fense industry at least. There
are too many racketeers among
our labor leaders now and the
closed-shop greatly increases Ihe
opportunities for their nefarious
work.
