Baby Incubator
To Be Purchased
For NewHospilal
The Hopkins County Memorial
Hospital, nearing completion on
North Davis street, is to recieve
the gift of a baby incubator, ac-
cording to Lowell Hudson, ad-
ministrator.
The surplus money from last
year’s school health fund, which
is |160, will be used. It is being
given with the consent of the
Chamber of Commerce, and at the
suggestion of Mrs. Henry Mahaf-
fey, health supervisor.
The Chamber of Commerce ha*
in the past sponsored without
charge the vaccination of school
children throughout Hopldns-co
for various diseases, with Mrs.
Manaffey in charge of the pro-
gram.
However, the recently passed
Gilmer-Aikin Act alohes the hir-
ing of full time nurses in coun-
ties, and the health program will
continue, but not under Chamber
of Commerce sponsorship.
A full time nurse has been
hired by the Hopkins County
School Board to service rural
schools in the county, and Jack
F. Gibson, superintendent of the
Sulphur Springs schools, states
that a nurse will be employed for
the schools here.
The purchase of the incubator
will be in honor of all Hopkins
County children.

Helsinki, Aug. 23 — The Fin-
nigh government has made a move
to open th# way for peace on the
labor front. The move «as made
as the Comunist strike ofenaiv#
continued to slow down.
The Finnish government pro-
mised to restore original wages to
pulp workers in the struck lum-
ber town of Kemi — if the work-
ers go back to their jobs tomor-
row.
The pulp workers were the first
to go out on strike last week when
the Comunist leaders began their
campaign for a national strike
offensive — an offensive which
the government said was the first
move in a planned revolution.
Communist leaders, backing
down, aay they are satisfied with
the government's move. There is
only one flaw, they say, and tha*
is that the government should
have decreed that wages b paid
for the time the worker* were on
strike.
Reports from various parts of
Finland show that dock strike*
are continuing. There is fresh
broad in Helsinki — but is was
delivered by non-striking drivers.
The transport strike has lost most
of its sting because many private
truck owners have bean willing
to taka over.
Unofficial reports say that the
total number of strikers today
staands at 13,000. Yesterday the
figure was 25,000.

(By Auoeitttd Prui)
Some legislators still think there
is a chance to cut wartime excise
taxes before Christmas. But a
house expert oh tax matters says
there's no chance of a tax cut un-
til 1060. Democratic Chairman
Robert Doughton of the house
ways and means committee says
he sees no prospect for an excise
tax cut this year. But the North
Carolina congressman has asked
experts to make a study of pos-
sible tax revision* and reductions
congress could consider in I960.
Just the same, House Republican
Leader Joe Martin of Massachus-
etts still is leading th# fight
against the excise taxes. Says he:
"Maybe if we bring enough pres-
sure, we’ll still get something
done this year.”
