Amelia Pastor, Wife Travel 4,570 Miles in 1939 Model Sedan AMELIA — Rev. and Mrs. Ira I. Dixon, pastor of the Bethany Free Methodist church near Amelia, are home again after a motor trip to Los Angeles, Cal., and other West coast points. After picking up their daughter, Frances, at Casper, Wyo., they stopped first to view the Great Salt Lake and the Mormon tab ernacle at Salt Lake City, Utah. The next point of interest was Boulder City, Nev., and the mo tion pictures showing construc tion of Hoover Dam. They tour ed the dam with its various ob servation tunnels, passageways, great turbines and spillways. “Of course, the desert drive was one to remember as we crossed during the middle of the day, arriving at our son’s (Mer lin’s) in Hollydale, Calif., in the early evening,” Rev. Dixon said. The Lakewood home addition is turning out a hundred new homes equipped with incinerat ors, refrigerators and washevs every day. They are sold ahead now so that if one were to sign up there would be no delivery until after August 1. “We did not see all of LA but enough to know that their won derful new freeways (4-lane traffic without speed restric tion) was a necessity if people could get to their work. Many are driving 60 miles to work each morning. “The trip to Tijuana, Mexico, and the ocean trip to Catalina Island followed by the excur sion on the glass-bottomed boat, were interesting as well as in structive,” the Amelia pastor continued. “Who would not be thrilled with the mountain highways of Sequoia and Kings Canyon, Yosemite, and Yellowstone na tional parks? Words fail when we attempt to describe the hugeness of the trees, falls, can yons, or the beauty of the mountain slopes, colored rock formations, lakes and wildlife. “There was a tremendous lot of water stored for irrigation ( purposes and more arid and des ert lands than we ever imagined existed. “We made a brief tour of the Thermopolis hot springs and bath house regions arriving home with a conscious knowl edge that there is truly a won derful, powerful and loving Cre ator. who still lives and answers prayer,” Reverend Dixon com mented. “The trip was made in a 1939 sedan having 101,477 miles on it and the 4,570 miles cost less than m cents per mile for gas and oil. We had one flat at Ains worth caused by a cut on the casing and this happened while parked.” Mrs. P. E. Fisher Dies in Washington — AMELIA — Paul Fisher re ceived word Monday, June 26, I of the death of his mother, Mrs. P E. Fisher, at Arlington, Wash.

This would be an average in crease of 31 cents an hour, or $2.48 a day. So Union leaders have called a completely unjustified strike on 5 Western rail roads, effective June 25. On June 15, an Emergency Board ap pointed by President Truman under the ferms of the Railway Labor Act recom mended the railroads grant switchmen a 40-hour week and a wage increase of 18 cents an hour, or $1.44 for an 8-hour day. Despite the added financial burden in volved, the railroads are ready to accept these recommendations, as they have al ways accepted Emergency Board recom mendations on national issues. But the leaders of the Switchmen’s Union refuse to accept! They demand an average increase of 31 cents an hour or $2.48 A day—although their present earn ings are substantially higher than those of workers in other industries! Board Says Demands Unjustified In its report, the Board declared this de mand unjustified by all the evidence pre sented. It also pointed out that it would give the switchmen an unfair pay advan tage over other groups of railroad em ployes, and would add too great a burden to railroad costs. Here is another case of a railroad union flouting the findings of an Emergency Board—another case of calling a crippling strike in an outrageous and reckless at tempt to force demands which the Board clearly labels as unjustified! Leaders of the Switchmen’s Union are calling this strike in defiance of the Board —in defiance of the facts—and at the ex pense of the public! In its report on this case, the Board made this statement: "The railroad industry, the Board be lieves, needs above ail else a period of relative stability to ad|ust and adapt itself to present competitive post-war condi tions." Despite this warning, the leaders of the Switchmen’s Union are upsetting the apple-cart—forcing a completely unjusti fied strike against everybody who uses the railroads. FIVE WESTERN RAILROADS j AFFECTED BY THE JUNE 25 STRIKE The five railroads affected by this strike, which goes into effer* j of 6:00 A M. local time, Sunday, June 25, 1950, are. Chicago Great Western Railway Company Chicago, Rock Island t Pacific Railroad Company j The Denver & Rio Grande Western Railroad Company Great Northern Railway Company j The Western Pacific Railroad Company It is time to put an end to such un American tactics! The Answer lo a Raw Attempt At Dictatorship is "No!” In the interest of the public who depend on the railroads every day, there can be only one answer to this outrageous and dicta torial action by the leaders of the Switch men’s Union. And that answer is—“NO I'' We are publishing this and other advertisements to talk to you ' at first hand about matters which are important to everybody. ....i DR. J. L.
