Students at Neburg Junior High
thought that friends of Ruth
Chalfont may care to share in
their news from her. She is a con-
velescent patient at the Warm
Springs Foundation, Ga. and is
the daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
Frank Chalfont of Rosedale.
Ruth's nurse writes, "She
just loves a little seventh grade
Spanish book that Joan Byran, a
South American girl, brought her.
Ruth has a quick ear for Spanish
and gets her vocabulary nicely.
I am trying to keep fresh material
before her at all times. She is
as alert as can be, yet I feel that
we here at Warm Springs, go
awfully slow. She does very well
handling light material, but when
tools are too heavy, she cannot
manage them very well. Ruth is
always in high spirits and I don't
believe I have ever heard her
complain. She cried once on a
rainy day when she was alone in
her room.
She said she didn't have any
particular reason for crying but
was `just crying', I felt that it was
a very normal thing and when
I loked in a lttle later, she was
along with the others, taking the
roof off the room with their
gayety."
With the help of Ruth's nurse,
who took down notes as Ruth
dictated the following book report
"Sequoya" by Catherine Cate
Ruth Chalfont
Coblentz and the help of the
hospital technician typing the
report, the bock report is sub-
mitted for the community to read.

—including the effect of "fringe" items, an average increase of $4.13 per week
for employees represented by the Plant, Traffic and Accounting unions.
—increases in beginners' rates and top rates where local conditions justify.
Telephone employees will continue to receive:
—extra payments for overtime, Sunday, holiday, evening and night duty.
—the usual merit and length -of -service wage increases.
—six holidays with pay; vacations with pay up to three weeks, depending on
length of service; as well as sickness and death payments and pensions—
all paid for in full by the company.
—steady work, not subject to seasonal layoffs.
Considering these other advantages, the settlement—which in itself amounts to more
than 10 cents an hour—compares favorably with settlements recently made in some
outside industries. These telephone wage increases have been granted even though _
the adjustments in outside industry will not be reflected for sometime in the gen-
eral wage levels of most Michigan communities.
But what is even more important,is that some 19,000 Michigan Bell employees again
are receiving regular pay checks.
J21 -1 1111L
The settlement, together with wage adjustments for other employees, will add more
than $5,500,000 a year to Michigan Bell's costs of providing service.
For many months, the company's earnings for investors have been on a downward
trend. In view of these new wage increases and other rising costs, rate increases
must be requested of the Michigan Public Service Commission to keep the company
financially sound so as to attract the newcapital needed for expansion and im-
provement.
TO THE PUBLIC
The settlement means that the public again has normal telephone service and Mich-
gan Bell's million -dollar -a -week payroll again is contributing to the economic life
of Michigan communities.
It will be remembered that the original union demands would have amounted to
$26,000,000 a year. The wage adjustments agreed on, which are geared to local con-
ditions in Michigan, will cost about one-fourth that amount. This will mean tele-
phone rates for Michigan customers considerably lower than would be necessary if
the original demands had been met.
Last but not least, the settlement means that Michigan Bell can get on with the big
job of providing telephones for the thousands of folks who are waiting, and mak-
ing telephone service better and better for everyone.
A WORD OF THANKS — We would like to say "thanks" for your patience
and cooperation during the telephone strike. We deeply regret any incon-
venience which the strike may have caused you. And we sincerely hope that
it will not happen again.

called,, "The Lame .One" by the
Cherokee people. The exact date
of his birth is not known, but it-
is believed that he was born.about
177:0.
Sequoya had a_lot of courage.-
He would not let his handicap
stand in his way. His motto. was
"I can. When he could not keep
up with his playmates in the
active games he would stay near
by and train himself to listen
sharply to all the sounds about
him. He learned the names and
songs of the birds, and of all
the wild animals in the forest.
He knew if an animal's cry was
one of joy or pain. He loved the
soft sound of gentle winds in the
trees, and he liked the heavy,
hard sounds that came with the
storms. When he was older, his
sense of hearing was so keen that
he became very helpful to his
people in warning them when
their enemy, the white man, was
approaching.
Sequoya was a wonderful story
teller. Another name given him
was that of "Teller-af-Tales:"
He loved the stories that had
been handed down by the wise
men. He also loved to think of
and tell about the things the Prin-
cipal People
rin-cipal-People did before they were -
uprnoted from their lands.
Sequoya felt sure: that the rea-

successful in taking their lands
was that they had a written
language, a language which the
Indians called talking leaves."
His nation had no written lan-
guage. A language cannot be re-
corded in a wampum - belt, or
passed -on " from. one generation
to the next by means of a signal
fire. -So Sequoya decided to make
awritten . language for his peo-
ple..He would invent an alphabet
for the Cherokees!
Itis people laughed at the idea.
They thought that he had lost
his mind. Twice they destroyed
his work, burned the bark upon
which he had spent several years
in cutting sounds and symbols.
At last, after ten long years he
was able to give to his tribe an
alphabet. And wise men who
came to the council meeting to
vote to put the "Caster -of -Evil
Spells" to death went home able
to read and write!
As a result of Sequoya's efforts
the eastern and western Chero-
kees were united.
It is said that Sequoya died in
Mexico in August, 1843. He had
gone to Mexico to look for a
group of Cherokees who had gone
there many years ago.
On the Tennessee -North Car-
olina . Boundary there is a tall
mountain which produly bears
the name of Sequoyah. In Georgia
there is -a marker over the place
where . the house stood which
held the first Indian press.
"In Oklahoma there is a county
named for the Brave Cherokee.
In ` the . Capitol at Washington
there is a statute of Sequoyah,
and on the doors of the annex
.of the Congressional Library are
representations in bas-relief of
those who have given to the
world written languages, the alp-
habet makers. Among them is
Sequoya. In California are per-
haps the oldest trees in the world.
These kings of the forest, too,
bear the name of Sequoya.
Salvage divers on jobs as deep
as 5,000 feet use a heavy metal
diving bell that is not only self-
contained but equipped with nine-
f66t- .mechanical arms and fingers
with which the diver can pick
up a coin, lift a 1,000 -pound
object or tie a knot in a steel
cable.
