bill will close the one gap in Texas
labor laws by setting up a Division

the Labor Department, he says. Its
function would be to keep in touch
with the status of labor-management
contracts and, when they are about
to expire, to enter the discussoin for
mediation and arbitration of any dis-
putes which might threaten to turn
into woirk stoppages. The bill
seems like a good one. We sure do

On the 8th page of section 2 of the
Examiner our readers will find one
of the most interesting stories yet
printed on the commercial or busi-
ness situation. The T. P. & L. Co.
is turning on the light and is going
to show up the wasteful course that
is being pursued in Washington, and
how our nation is being slowly but
certainly socialized through the ef-
forts of bureaucrats, socialists, and
communists. If this is not checked
we will never again be free of our
huge billion dollar war debts, but we
will be literally “taxed to death” fi-
nancially. Read and think,
“truth shall make you free.”

The Ever-Ready Fire boys were
called this morning to the home of H.
S. Ware, 630 North College Street.
Not much damage.
---o---
u. ju. -tsrmges, son 01 ivir. ana ivirs.
John H. Bridges of 330 North Mill
Street, Santa Paula, and the former's
13year-old son, Walter, had an experi-
ence full of danger on Christmas day
in Arizona.
The two left Winslow at 11 a. m.
on a pleasure jaunt to the pines, ex-
pecting to return home in a few
hours, but at 2 o’clock their car
stalled on a muddy logging road and
their combined efforts to start it were
futile. Christmas night was spent in M
the car and they suffered from cold,
No car passed, so next morning^ 3
after a conference they decided to’
. seek help. The father, who has had J
a leg amputated, was not equal to the 1
job, and the boy decided to hike to :
Promontory tower, nine and one-half
miles away. Walter, who had started
on the trip in a short-sleeved polo
; shirt, low shoes, and not even a
I jacket, donned his father’s coat and
started. Soon it began to snow, but
the lad plodded doggedly on and
finally reached the tower, only to find
it deserted. He broke a window to
gain entrance, only to find the tele-
phone had been disconnected. He next
tried a ranch two miles distant,' only
. He broke
a window, climbed in, made a fire to
thaw out, and spent the night ,and
ate some Wheaties he found in a cup-
board, the first food he had had since
leaving home.
On Friday 'morning he started out
again, reaching the Smitt ranger sta-
tion about 12:30 p. m. The rangers
bathed him and put him to bed, and
i after hearing his story went in search
{ of his father. As Walter had no means
1 of judging the distance he had trav-
{ eled, Mr. Bridges was not found un-
1 til five logging trucks and several
[ men had joined the searching party.
, The youngster had walked at least
i 25 miles. -
I In the meantime, Bridges had spent
I Wednesday and Thursday night in
the car, but Friday morning, worry
concerning the boy caused him to
start on crutches to find his son.
After nine and one-half miles of
tough going, he gave up, built a fire
and awaited help, which arrived at
6:30 that night. He was taken to the
Ranger station and given proper care.
The finale of the story is that on
being examined at the hospital in
Winslow to which they were taken
their physical condition was found
much better than expected, and neith-
er father nor son suffered any ill efJ
fects from their very uncomfortable
experience.
The Fh-e Department had a long
run Monday to reach a fire that was
burning a barn just back of Frank
Wheatley’s Grocery Store on North
Waddill Street. About 20 bales of
hay were also destroyed. A grass
fire had been set too close and
sparks blew into the hay.
Our Ever-Ready fire boys, Aural
Belden, Freezer Eastman and Vernie
Bales, sure did get plenty of exercise
running to grass fire alarms, answer-
ing only 11 calls from Saturday until
