The case involved a group of plumbing contractors who declined to abide by wages that the Associated Plumbing Contractors of Arizona had negotiated with the union. The union attempted to have all contractors abide by the wage increases, but the Maricopa County Superior Court ruled that the union and the Associated Plumbing Contractors constituted a "conspiracy" in attempting to have all contractors abide by "the boosts. The high court dissolved the Superior Court injunction and referred the case to the NLRB. Enjoy the "barefoot freedom" of a sandal.

A speech correctionist finds a child readily will speak to identify a toy, and in the use of the hands, for instance, a youngster just naturally can lift the arms of a stuffed bear with more will than, say, a painted box.

In many ways the Crippled Chil dren's Clinic is a Tucson success story. It's written throughout the 150-foot long building from the $15,000 animal kingdom mural (donated) in the reception room to a small room in the back where the wall is lined with braces and wheelchairs that have linked small children to brighter tomorrows. Ceremonies To Mark Labor Union Services By CHARLES CAMPBELL A chubby-faced boy of 11 walked out of the heart treatment room at the Square and Compass Crippled Children's Clinic with his mother. In the hallway. Dr.

William A. Butcher put his hand on the boy's shoulder and said, "Your heart's all right now. You won't have to come back anymore." The boy was one of several hundred patients aided by the clinic. In his case he left the clinic a nor-mal healthy boy. Others may gain a degree of rehabilitation to aid in meeting the every day demands of life.

Methods of these treatments and the thousands of dollars of special equipment used In the clinic cases "will be shown the public this Saturday at an open house for a new southwest wing which opened last week. The addition brings to about 25 the number of rooms now in use at the clinic to care for nearly 2000 patients which will enter the clinic this year. In a special thank you to local organized labor groups for their continued support, the open house will be celebrated as Union Recognition Day. All the clinic will be open to the public starting at 10 a.m. Guided tours conducted by more than 50 volunteers will continue until 5 p.m.

Music during the day will be pro vided by a band. The musicians' union will pick up this tab. The new rooms being shown Saturday represent the first addition to the clinic since its opening Jan. 5, 1950. The addition increases by about 50 per cent the over-all size of the building.

The clinic is located at 2916 E. Broadway on a plot of ground rented by the Tucson Shrine Company for $1 a year. This 25-year lease, with an option for 25 more years at the same rent is a typical example of how the clinic was founded and how it has grown to meet needed increases through its few years of operation. Eight pennies sent through mail by one young girl and a $35,000 cash contribution from Tucson labor unions were part of the fund that made the first building a reality. The expansion program this year was gained through similar donations.

Unions again came through, this time with a $17,000 donation. Ted Walker, chairman of the board, and Frank S. Minarik, president, have worked on the project since 1949 when the clinic was just an idea and not a cent in the fund to start it. Both share great pride that the clinic has never had a single expense for salaries since its opening. There has never been an employee of the clinic; the state provides a staff of 13.

All the specialists, the plastic surgeons, pediatricians and dentists volunteer their services on a rotating day basis. And each room in the tlinic is maintained by 35 volunteer organizations, these groups providing whatever is necessary to keep their particular room supplied and up to clinic standards. Services of the clinic are dedicated to handicapped children regardless of race, color or creed up to 21 years old. Oftentimes children born with a deformity are receiving first treatments at the clinic a few days after birth. Persons visiting the clinic Saturday are sure to leave amazed at the many types of special equipment needed in the crippled children's program.
