George Layman.
A Uichol' Worth of
Comment On
By HARMAN
United Pres
o
Washineton (U.R) It isn't
very often that a private in the
Army can make money by serv
ing his offi
cers.
But accord
ing to the
Pentagon, Pfc
Tadeus Luk
janczyk, now
stationed a t
Fort Benning,
Ga., is doing
right well.
He is mak-
ji b m vfjtj mg swagger
JRarman Nichols sticks for the
officers-personalized and stylish,
he says, since it has been pop
ular for a well-dressed officer to
liftch one along at funeral func
tions. O Anyhow, Tadeus, with the
QThird Infantry Division at Ben
ning is doing right well.
"It brings in better than Army
pay," he says, "and besides that
takes up the slack on time
when a man does nothing but
read whodunits."
Tadeus, of Niagara Falls, N.Y.,
got into the business of making
swagger sticks after he finished
basic training.
Saw A Market
e"It was something to do," he
$id. "And I saw a market."
O The private didn't know much
about swagger-sticking, except
what he read. But he learned
wood-carving in his off time.
q "There was more than that to
it,')he said. "I had to learn some
thing about the decorative metal-inlaying,
engraving and spe
cial polishing.
Those things are highly per
sonal to each officers.

Hon-Profit Hospital
Firm Recommended
Ashland Formation of a non
profit corporation to raise funds
4gr the construction and opera
tion of a new hospital has been
Bjoposed here.
A committee of the board of
directors of the Valley View
Hospital district, following a
study of finances, recommended
the action. It cited the fact that
bond issues for hospital con
struction have been voted down,
o."pd suggetsed that a non-profit
organisation could raise funds
through popular subscription
and bequests.
" The committee also suggested
the city of Ashland be asked to
sell the present hospital site,
and pledge the proceeds to the
rv institution.

This and That

had a head start on other swag
ger stick makers.
He called upon the knowledge
he gained from his father. His
dad is a master jeweler, a watch
maker and a goldsmith, who
learned his trade in Poland.
Fancy Work
For his work, the private uses
snakewood or cedar for the stick
part ebony and mahogany for
the handles. - He picks out the
wood himself and looks over the
sawing to see that the grain is
just right and contains no knots
that would show up in the fin
ished product.
Incidentally, there is still a
small controversy going on
among the holders of the swag
ger sticks.
What was the history?
Some allow that it started with
the riding crop.
There is a second school that
claims that the British began it
all when they would rather car
ry a stick than lug along heavy
weapons while on occupation
duty in India. That was in the
19th century.
The private from Niagara Falls
doesn't care how it started so
long as the popularity has been
revived.
He won't say, how much he
clips his officers, but he let it out
gentle like that the sticks aren't
for free .
Labor Council Puis
Cafe on DNP List
The Crater Cafe, 309 North
Riverside ave., was put on the
"do not patronize list" by the
Central Labor Council of Med
ford during its last meeting, ac
cording to Pauline LaPlane, sec
retary. The cafe was placed on the list
at the request of Culinary Alli
ance and Bartenders Local 329
which is being refused a 4 cent
pay raise in the 1955 - 56 con
tract. In other business, the council
went on record that the state
convention held here in July was
an outstanding success.
The council concurred in a re
quest from the Central Labor
Council of Wesfield, Mass., to
write President Eisenhower
pleading for approval of the tar
iff recommendations submitted
by the tariff commission. The
new tariff would affect foreign
made bicycles.
The council complied with a
request from the Union Label
and Service department to ask
the mayor to designate Sept. 5
through 11 as Union Label Week.
