The following statement was sent to The Woodworker by Local 5-443: “This local union has held integrated meetings for years and was helpful in register- ing the colored people to vote as early as 15 years ago. Some segregation was practiced in - the union by apportioning the number of colored -people serving in office in line with the percentage of colored members in the Union. ‘Due to the Civil Rights Act, this was abolished and complete integration accept- ed. Some colored people were elected under the integration system, although colored people constitute only one- third the membership. “Due to strong emotions generated by the civil rights issue, many people became convinced the answer to good government lay with the Ku Klux Klan, the John Birch Society, the Citizens Councils and other organizations of similar stripe. “The Goldwater campaign aided these societies in these states and the 7 to 1 Gold- water margin made them ar- rogant. The violence occur- red because the Union re- fused to accept the orders of this secret government now supreme in the state of Mis- sissippi. “Ottis Matthews and. all the officers of the Local have been threatened continuously that unless they secured per- get your hands on a PIONEER 130 mission from these secret societies generally identified by the advisors as the Ku Klux Klan, they would be punished.

Wild ducks prevent "swimmer's itch— Canada’s wild ducks and geese are one of the main rea- sons why more vacationers don’t get “swimmer’s itch.” Reason: bilharzia or swimmer’s itch — which causes the bather’s legs and feet to break out with open sores — is caused by minute larvae which are parasites on the soft-shelled snails found in all fresh water in the northern U.S. and in Canada. But almost all our ducks and geese consider these snails a great delicacy and constantly hunt for them during the sum- mer. They do such a good job of keeping down the snail population that very few bathers become infested with bil- harzia. Farmers in South Africa’s Orange Free State were so annoyed at wild geese eating their wheat and oat crops that they applied for a special license to shoot them, But govern- ment officials told them wild ducks and geese were the best safeguards that South Africa could have against infestation by bilharzia and they will have to put up with some pilfering by their feathered friends. — Financial Post.
