The suit contends that Mr. Wood was not legally discharged as a policeman because at the Com mission meeting when he was dis charged two of the ithree present, Thomas M. Philpot and William Moss, had no right to vote because they were not legal members of the Commission, the law under which they were elected having been one of those declared uncon ctitutional by the Supreme Court. In addition, the suit claims the law _creating the Civil Service Commis sion was not followed in that no reason was given.,for his discharge. Mr. Wood is represented by Jake B. Joel, who stated that the Mayor and Council is made a defendant in the suit along with the Civil Service. Commission because un der the law the Mayor and Coun cil are the municipal corporation and the Civil Service Commission is an agent of the municipal cor poration. Mr. Wood said he is a veteran of four years service with the United States Navy in the Pacific, having been awarded the Purple Heart. He is a member of the Veterans of Foreign Wears. The petition of Mr. Wood claims he was elected a “police officer for the City of Athens, by the Athens Civil Service Commission, said commission having been authoriz ed by an Act of the Legislature of the State of Georgia, session of 1918, Acts, 1918, pages 528-535.” Reported for Duty The petition also claims that “on the 4th day of September 1948, your petitioner duly reported for duty at the City Hall, for the 4 p. m. shift to the Hon.

Jewish Day Of Atonement Begins Today The Jewish Day of Atonement, or Yom Kippur, begins this year at sundown, today, and concludes at sundown, Monday, October 3rd. The most solemn and sacred day in the Jewish religious calendar, the Day of Atonement concludes the Ten Beys of Penitence usher ed in by the New Year. In Tem ple and Synagogue, the Jew peti tions the Almighty to pardon his sins and to redeem his soul. It is a day of deep spirituality and soul-searching, for on this day the heart strives to be “at one” with the Eternal plan, According to Jewish folklore, on this day, the Recording Angel causes all humanity to pass before ‘the Divine throne of Justice. Each ‘man is judged according®to his 'merits, and his fate is inscribed in the Book of Life for good or ill But the Day of Atonement holds out to every man the hope and promise of redemption and salva tion if only he repents his sins and resolves to live a better life in the future. In this time of conflicting ideals among nations, the Day of Atone ment brings a message of peace and contentment for all humanity. It exhorts man to place the evil far from his heari and mind; for only through strict adherence to the principles of honesty, justice and good faith can man live in prosperity and peace. The service for this holiday concludes with a blast of the Shofar, or ram’s horn, symbolizinz religion’s call to all men of good will to join together under the Fatherhood of God. In Athens, services for the Day of Atonement will be conducted by Rabbi Samuel Glasner, of Con gragation Children of Israel, in the Temple on Jackson and Han cock Streets. The Sunday even ing service will begin at 8 o’clock. The services on Monday will be conducted from 10 to 12, and from 2:30 to -5:30. Music for the services will be provided by Miss Frances Martin and Randall Couch, under the direction of Mrs. Allan Arnold. ‘- On Sunday even ing, Professor Byron Warner, of <tvthe Music Department of the Uni varsity, will render the beautiful | traditional Kol Nidre.

Farm Bureau Studies Milk Problems Here “We have too much and at the same time not enough milk for efficient marketing” was the pen etrating analysis of the milk mar keting problems of the Athens Area by H. E. Wood, Winterville, one of the fifty farmers who at tended the September meeting of the Clarke County Farm Bureau at the Georgian Hotel Friday evening. Mr. Wood showed from his own experience that to market Grade A milk elsewhere than in Athens one dairy farmer will noi have enough milk to take care of trans portation costs. The cost of haul ing milk declines per gallon as the quantity hauled increases up to a full load. C. A. Ward, another Clarke county dairy farmer, pointed out ‘the difficulty of having enough milk during the winter and at the same time not having too much in the summer. Dairymen have not yet gotten on to the most practical procedure of having cows freshen in the fall. To find a marketing plan that would profi tably dispose of surplus milk dur ing periods when the supply ex ceeds demand is the most urgent problem of dairy farmers at the present time., 1t was indicated by the discussion that this is a mar keting problem. In this connection A. P. Wins | ton, one of the oldest practical | dairymen in Georgia, suggested (Continued on Page Eight) Coal And Steel Strikes Pinch U. S. Supply Lines Y L] ¢ Large Stockpiles Offer . » Relief To Long Strikes - By The Associated Press The twin steel-coal strike has shot the natio.'s list of strike idle past the million mark for the first time in three years. Much of America’s industry, its vital supply lines pinched off, went on stockpile operations. ; But even if both strikes drag on, industry generally will have a breathing spell of three weeks to a month. Stockpiles are that large. : Government mediators say they’ll keep trying for a steel set tlement, both sides willing. But there was no other peace talk the first day of the strike, White House officials in Wash ington repeated that President Truman — who obtained three P gipiice - pOStDOINS L.bor ments — had no plans to inter- RO“ﬂdUP vene again, —en e Preliminary es timates indicated enough steel is on hand to last three weeks or a month, The Bureau%f Mines esg timated coal stockpiles are ample for 48 days. The steel strike will stretch coal supplies even longer. Some industries are better stockpiled than others. The auto industry, which gobbles up 18 per= cent of the total steel production, is all set for three to four weeks. But a strike of that duration would halt production of nearly all refrigerators and ranges. Strangle-Hold After three weeks, a steel strike would send unemployment soar ing and tighten its strangle-hold on industrial output. Among the first to be affected woiulld be another 500,000 steel workers in fabricating plants who handle directly the steel produced in basie plants. Airplane manufacturers, too, use a large amount of steel. The Agriculture Department made a quick survey to learn whether the steel strike will dis~ Tupt its corn storage program. _No one estimaied how a styike ‘%@l& affect the defense program. The steel strike will cost work ers about $33,000,000 weekly in wages, The industry will lose millions in weekly profits. Besides the 913,000 idle in the coal-steel dispute, 110,000 workers are out in a dozen other industries. The strikers include railroad workers, machinists, cotton pick ers, foundry workers, dock work= ers, sugar workers, leather work=- ers, farm equipment workers, and airplane workers. Highest Work A total of 1,600,000 persons were idled by strikes in January, 1946— highest mark so far in the post war period. At 12:01 a. m. Saturday, the 513,000 steelworkers struck at 53 basic plants and in 50 iron ore mining companies in 23 states, The issue was whether the in dustry should pay the full cost of an insurance-pension program or whether the workers should con tribute, too. However, as the strike deadline neared, Benjamin F. Fairless, president of U. S. Steel, said the CIO United Steel woerkers Union demanded a 30 cents hourly wage boost as a sub stitute for the insurance-pension program. The most cheerful aspect to the Civic Club Programs To Top NEPH Week The civic clubs of. Athens are cooperating with special programs for National Employ the Physically Handicap ped Week, October 2 through the Bth. Six civic clubs have speakers who will stress what has been done in the past and what can be done in the future in employing physi cally handicapped persons. This is the fifth observance of NEPH Week and federal,. state, and local officials and private or ganizations have united in a Na tion-wide program to enlist public support for, and interest in em plavment of the physically handi capped. The naiional objectives for 1949 have been to find new job oppor tunities for the hundred of thou sands of handicapped workers who are able to work if selective ly placed, but are now unem ployed; to emphasize the impor tance, in an increasingly selective labor market, of retaining in their jobs the millions of handicapped persons currently employed; and to help one million severely dis abled persons currently outside the labor foree to obtain needed voca tional rehabilitation to fit them for suitable work. A portion of Athen’s part in this national drive i§ the program that has been arranged for the civie clubs during this week. Marion Williamson, executive director of the Employment Security Agency for Georgia, will speak to the Ex change Club at 1 o’clock Monday, and to a Civitan Club at 7:30 that evening.

Lewis’ order for 102,000 of his 502,000 striking miners to return to work, ending their sym pathy walkout. These are 80,000 anthraci'y miners in Eastern Penn sylvania and 22,000 bituminous miners west of the Mississippi river. They will be back on the job Monday.
