ROTARY CLUB
Rotarians enjoyed a talk by Dr.
W. Mathew, of the Alaska Health
Department, a TB consultant who
is here with the team who are
giving BCG inoculations. He an
swered questions in relation to the
good BCG can do, stating that the
effect of the inoculation can last
as long as ten years for some peo
ple. He also told that it was not a
preventive of T.B., but an aid to
resist getting the disease which is
so prevalent in this area.
Herb Hilscher who arrived with
Wien Airlines just in time to fin
ish lunch with the group told of
the exhibit of 70 pictures recently
give nto the University which he
had brought to Nome for display
before it was sent to the States
for exhibit in various parts of the
States before returning to the Uni
versity of Alaska. The exhibit is
now on display at the Nome Ter
ritorial School.
Mr. Hilscher also told a little of
his work with the Good Roads
Assn., for which a special meeting
was held this noon by the Cham
ber of Commerce.
Other guests of the Rotary were
Jack Tregaskis, engineer from An
chorage, W. R. Herlah, C.A.A. of!

continental mails.
The steel industry was hit al
most immediately. Some blast
furnaces were banked/ There were
shutdowns and curtailment of
operations throughout the Chi
cago industrial area.
A railroad spokesman said the
strike appeared ter toe an attempt
to force settlement of the dispute
before any wage freeze or Presi
dential declaration of a war emer
gency. The union seeks a 40-hour
work week at 48 hours pay for its
yard workers. The dispute has
been before Steelman and the Na
tional (railway) mediation board
for more than four months.

CHICAGO, (/P)—Striking rail
road workers in Chicago and other
key cities made no attempt to re
turn to work today, apparently
ignoring three federal court or
ders and their union president.
The strike, which in two days
has disrupted vital shipments of
freight and mail and slowed some
industrial output, hit on the home
front. The postoffice department
last night clamped a partial em
bargo on parcel post mailing.
The order, coming at the peak
of the Christmas mailing rush, in
cludes all parcel post and is effec
tive immediately in hundreds of
postoffices throughout the coun
try. Airmail and air parcel post is
not effected.
Meanwhile top officials of the
union, the Brotherhood of Rail
road Trainmen, said in Washing
ton today they believed personal
intervention by President Truman
might be the only hope for quick
[ settlement of the strike.
"
A farmer who ordered some
hens shipped to him, went to the
depot to get them. Later he wrote
the firm: “Your crate was so badly
made that it came all to pieces as
I was taking the hens home and
they all got out. After searching
carefully I got only 11 of them.”
His reply read: “You were
lucky to get 11 hens. We sent you
only six.”
