A MOTHER'S DAY CARD Will Show You Remembered NEXT SUNDAY is Mother's Day I BESH Society and Clubs Life In' Siam and India Described by Traveler Descriptions of life in India and Siam are contained in two re cent letters from Dr. and Mrs. Bert R. Elliott, on a round-the-world trip by air. Dr. Elliott last wrote from Darjeeling, on the slopes of Mt. Everest, and said that they climbed part way up the famous mountain.

Conditions are so bad we were urged not to stop there at all, but we wanted to see the worst, and did. Everyone has read of these conditions, but visual education makes for real ization. "We arrived in Calcutta in the middle of the flight and saw thousands sleeping in the streets. Among them lay. stood and walked the sacred cows and bulls. There are seven million people, one-third out of work makes for robbery, begging, knitjng and dirty looks. We are not welcome. There are beggars of all kinds even down on all fours. One is always the center , of a crowd. "It is unsafe to be out at night and even in the day, if off the beaten path. In the hotel 15 bear ers line up for tips like clamor- : ing vultures, though one feels sorry for every one of them. It i is no place for a minister's son. "Many think Britain, United ! States or Russia must supervise them. All seem "leery" of Rus sia. They regret absence of the English. J "At the burning ghats several groups, each with their dead ' loved ones on a cheap cot, were in the different stages of the cremation rites, which takes ; three hours. Nearly all urged me to take pictures of their dead and send them photos. I ' Sacred cattle lie at the en trance of business houses, al- . most blocking the doors of banks, etc. I took a photogenic bull, lying in the shade, by the horns hoping to get him into the sun for a picture. The usual crowd (or mob) so increased in size and noise that I desisted. ; The preceding letter came from Bangkok. Thailand, and the traveler described the cre I mation of two Siamese prin 1 cesses. He wrote that the colorful procession consisted of a many colored and highly built-up 1 hearse, drawn by two black horses followed by floats, one of I which carried the Buddha priest, I end a 100-piece band in brilliant red. 200 persons in black, etc. "They all paraded around and around the high band-stand like pyre, and finally carried the coffins up the long steps for cre mation," he wrote. "The king was to come later to touch off the match to the fire." "Incidentally, the king is be ing married today. Flags are flying and banks and offices are closed. It is called a holy day. "The lowest temperature in the last 24 hours was 81 de grees." "The floating markets here along the "klongs" or canals are unbelievable. The thousands of boats and huts on stilts are the homes and markets of thousands of people. Sewage, dead dogs, vegetation and all sorts of waste floats slowly by. Ducks, geese and children swim about. Moth ers bathe their babies, wash the breakfast dishes, do the laundry and bathe themselves in the ca nals. A woman with a 10-foot pole with a little basket on the end, not unlike a church collec tion box of other days, reaches out and snares an article in the water she considers of value. "These boats are coffee shops, candy or pastry stores, restau rants, meat markets, fish, cloth ing, pot and pan stores and what have you. The canals are only 30 to 150 feet wide one must keep his elbows inside the boat." Dr. Elliott ended by saying that film is very high, but the cost of laundry and hair cuts low. the latter being only 19 cents.

President Roosevelt's Board said- President Truman's Board said- Still the leaders of the Railroad 0)P MS 1 1 1 1 w y n Firemen's Union say- air This ridiculous strike is on affront to every citizen of the nation. It's not for more money. It's not because of hours. It's only for soft fcothor bedding p ots for additional unnecessary firemen to go along in diesel locomotives just for the ride. A leading liberal newspaper calls the de mands of the union leaders 'horse-feathers"! The reckless leaders of the firemen's union want to force down the throats of the railroads and the public a ridic ulous "make-work" proposal which has been twice ruled out by Presidential Fact Finding Boards duly appointed under the provisions of the Railway Labor Act. This demand of union leaders for additional and unnecessary firemen to ride in diesel locomotives was rejected after months of hearings by a Board appointed by President Roosevelt in 1943. It was again rejected in 1949 by a Board appointed by President Truman. Recent meetings with the National Mediation Board have brought no change in the attitude of the union dictators. Union Leaders Defy Intent of Law The union leaders helped write the Railway Labor Act. Yet in an attempt to jam through this scheme of pure "feather-bedding" by leading the mem bers of their union out on strike and threatening paralysis to large areas of the nation, they are defying the spirit and intent of the very law which they helped to create. This strike is not for higher wages. It is a strike to force the railroads to employ msny more thousands of fire men who are not needed! It would be indefensible waste. The railroads have refused to place this additional and unnecessary burden on the public. But more important than any other consideration, is the action of these few irresponsible union leaders in seek ing to force a crippling strike upon the This strike is on. of thi silliest strikes in history I Whit an th.M reckleaa ualoa leaden trying to do? Thay Male to cihh thou aanria of their memhera to atrike, and throw hundred, of thouaande of other employaa on and off tha railroada out of amplnym.nt. with loaa of pay to than and their familiaa, plua a aavara blow to induatry and tha citiiana of tha nation.

Thia la certainly ona of tha ullieat atrike. in hiatary! nation for their own selfish purpose. There is no other possible snswer to such a demand hut "No!" The railroads in making such a reply believe they have the whole-hearted support of the people in whose interest they are willing to fight thia out, de spite the loss and inconvenience that all will suffer. It is time to put an end to such un American demands. We are publishing thia and other advertisements to talk to you It Am bud about matter, which are important to everybody. J
