$1,137.40 In Fooiball Injuries
The 1953 iootball season for the Caldwell high school
was a disastrous one from the standpoint of injuries and
just how serious can be gleaned from the financial report
released today by Principal Gilbert W. Weekley of the
Caldwell system.
In hospital and medical care, ihe injuries to the foot
ball players last season cost the school $1,137.30. Of this
amount the Ohio Athletic injury mutual association paid
$630.60.
The financial report of the athletic insurance reveals
receipts of $1,188.72.
Proceeds from the Zanesville Olympia amounted vo
$166.12. The athletic board voted to place this amount in
the athletic insurance fund and this procedure will be fol
low from year to year.
R^The Caldwell Booster's club gave the insurance fund
ayoieck for $25.00, which was really a gift from the McCon
nt?lsville club. It will be recalled that Tommie Ferguson was
injured in the game played at McConnelsville and under
went an operation for the removal of his spleen.
Dr. N. S. Reed returned $5.50 to the insurance fund,
which represented his examinations of athletes.
Receipts from the benefit Caldwell-McConnelsville
basketball game, sponsored by the Caldwell Lions club,
amounted to $361.50. This does not include the fee of $30.00
which was deducted for the officials.
This represents a grand total of $1,188.72 as receipts for
the year to the athletic insurance fund.
Principal Weekle^ then listed the expenditures as
follows:
Dr. A. R. Lutz, $85.00 St. Joseph's hospital, Parkers
burg, W. Va., $50.10 Dr. A. G. McGregor, $16.00 Dr .E. G.
Ditch, $112.50 Dr Paul Htith and St. Francis hospital, Cam
bridge, $152.50 Dr. Fred W. Phillips, $175.00 Dr. Philip H.
Elliott, $25.00 Bethesda hospital, $269.12 Dr. William A.
Knapp, $143.00 Good Samaritan hospital, $67.18 Dr. Earl
B. Zurbrugg. $25.00 and Paul McVay $17.00.
This left a balance on January 10, 1954 of $51.32. But
Dr. Phillips of Zanesville, returned the check for $175.00 to
the Caldwell high school and asked that it be placed in the
athletic insurance fund, which leaves a current balance of
$226.32.
Dr. E. G. Ditch also donated his services to the fund,
except where allowed by the Ohio Athletic injury mutual
association.
Dr. Reed and Dr. Ditch are to-be commended for their
interest in athletics and for donating their services to this
cause.
But we believe that Dr. Phillips is also due his share
of commendation for he had no local interest in the Cald
well Redskins, except through his personal contact with
Tommie Ferguson and the operation which followed the
Caldwell-McConnelsville game.
We think it would be a nice gesture and we suggest that
a letter of thanks, signed by all members of the Caldwell
football team for 1953 should be forwarded to Dr. Phillips
through officials of the Caldwell school.
Second Chance
The community of Caldwell is thoroughly familiar with
the story of John Bill Brister, how he was severely injured
in an automobile accident two years ago and the possibility
that he will spend the remainder of his life in a wheel chair
He is now 17 years old and the future he has to face would
probably break many with less courage than his.
But as a youngster, John Bill Brister has much courage
and faith and like so many others in their darkest hour of
need or trouble, he has turned to God.
In spite of his permanent disability, young Brister
believes that he has been given a second chance. He believes
that God is using him "to teach others. I know there is a
reason and I am very thankful and very proud to be able to
be of service in the Lord. It is for this reason only that I
have so much faith and courage."
As a community we must continue to help this lad for in
him we can learn much.
He has already demonstrated an example of courage
that would be found in only a few.
As John Bill Brister matures into young manhood, his
trials and tribulations will be many but he will always come
through for the foundation on, he is now building will serve
him well.
As a community we can help this lad in many ways
and in no sense of thfe world should we let one or two men
carry the entire load. Make it a point now to go out and
spend a few minutes with John Bill. It will do him good
and help you as a true Christian.

This Week
in
Washington
The concentrated labor lobby
ng on Capitol Hill points up the
fact that labor leaders are going
all out to achieve the three broad
oals they have established to
eep unions strong. These goals:
•ontinuation of an expanding
conomy election of labor's
friends" to Congress and build
ng a more unified labor move
ment. Specifically, unionists say
they are fighting "hard money"
nd other "controlled recession"
policies fighting to keep the
Taft-Hartley measure from being
more restrictive on labor seek
ng to obtain an increase in the
ninimum wage and working to
promote eventual CIO-AFL
merger. These were the goals
they announced before Congress
convened for the present term.
Observers of the Washington
scene can see the progress that
is being made.
What has been done in the
CIO and apparently to a some
what lesser extent in AFL, is the
improvement of the "communica
tions line" between individual
membership and national head
quarters, with the resultant
placement of greater responsibi
lity for lobbying and political
action in the hands of local
members.
The CIO trimmed down its re
gional offices from 50 to 13, an
indication of the end-result of
this streamlining process. CIO
executive vice president John
Riffe is urging local unions, a-s
well as city and state councils,
to take the initiative in spotting
key legislative issues and fol
lowing through with lobbying
campaigns. The CIO also re
vamped its lobby unit, now head
ed by Robert Oliver, former
head of the Office of Labor Ad
vertisers for the Mutual Security
Administration, aided by Hyman
H. Bookbinder, formerly assis
tant director of research for
Amalgamated Clothing Workers,
and ex-Rep. Thomas H. Burke
(Ohio, 1949-50)--who should not
be confused with Sen. Thomas
A. Burke (D-Ohio).
Burke's job is to coordinate
the lobbying activities of the
various activities of the various
international unions of the CIO

THE AMERICA!* WAY
POLITICAL PRISONER
Paul Fisher, 38-year old
Chicago pen manufacturer, .was
confined in a Chicago jail.
The method by which this
stalwart citizen came to-be im
prisoned makes this case of parti
cular concern to every freedom
loving American.
Paul Fisher was not charged
with a crime. No complaints had
ever been filed against him.
There had never been any allega
tion that he disobeyed any law—
but he was in jail.
His crime? He refused to sub
mit to the harassment which the
Wage and Hour Division of the
U. S. Labor Department sought
to impose upon him in violation
of the Fourth Amendment to the
Constitution.
The story of Fisher's resistance
to political tyranny began in the
spring of 1951. He attempted to
help a woman by giving her part
time work to do at home because
her husband, a veteran, was in
Hines Hospital and she could not
leave her two small childx-en
home alone.
This employment was termin
ated when Fisher learned tha*
the Illinois Department of Labor
required $200 for a special per
mit to employ home workers.
Nearly a year later, on Jan
uary 4, 1952, an investigator from
the Wage and Hour Division of
the U. S. Department of Labor
called on Fisher and demanded
his books and payroll records
Fisher asked if .there had been
any complaints or charges
against him, or if he had dis
obeyed any law. The answer
was "absolutely not."
Subsequent events are per
naps best told by Mr. Fisher in
his oral arguments before th
Court of Appeals, in which hi
said:
"There is no dispute about the
essential facts in this case.
"On June 27, 1952, the District
Court found the Defendant
guilty Documentary Evidence
upon the Defendant (Fisher
The Defendant refused to obey
the order on the grounds that it
was in violation of the Fourth
Amendment. There was no evi
dence given that the Defendant
has violated a law and there ha
been no sworn complaint made
against the Defendant.
"On September 15, the District
Court found the Defendant

ROCKING CHAIR MONEY
Dear Editor:
I have noticed that each generation coins a lot of new words.
Just found out the young people who get paid for not working
have coined a now common expression, "rockingchair money".
This is a new one on me.
Gosh, it is marvelous to sit in a rocking chair and have 3 check
come in every week. I have known about an expression, "Security
from birth to death." But to sit and rock away the years that is
sure going some.
I really feel it would be still a little better to have the gov
ernment send an expert into such homes and prepare the meals
and have a trained nurse feed the poor helpless people.
There are people who have a pecular idea about life. If you
do them a little favor like fixing up their fence they expect you
to keep right on doing it for them. If you gather their eggs just
Dnce then you have a permanent job. When the government got
into this fence fixing they can just keep right on fixing it. If a
man has red blood in his veins he wants none of .this stupidity.
It has been suggested tKat people-who work and pay taxes
to keep a certain class in a rocking chair should raise bees. Guess
that would be OK for they are stung by every organization known
by man. You may get thru life in these United States but one
thing .is sure you can't go to heaven in a rocking chair.
Yours for less idleness.
Uncle Sam Stille.
