If you want coal the best way to'get it is to write your Congressman and let him know how' you feel about the “situation.” Part of the coal is going to “good old” Germany (we whip ’em first, th^ji turn around and give them our shirt and our coal), and the rest is being “directed” to the North and West.~ The mines advise us that they have a WRITTEN CONTRACT with the UMWA, and that the recent strikes were IN' VIOLATION of the contract. It is likely that there will be another strike unless President Truman does something about it. We suggest that if you want to keep your children warm this winter you WRITE YOUR CONGRESSMAN today. One card to him will do more good than a dozen phone calls to us. C-W-S GUANO CO., INC. Family Burthday Dinner Mrs. M. W. Medlock was honored with a birthday dniner at the home of her daughter.
