--HE youth of America are hereby de-
clared in contempt of courtship.
They don't know how to make
love- They ought to be taught.
Society as usual is ducking the
ISSUE and the whole broad land is
filled with tragic mismatings
The answer? To DR.. E. E. Erickson, pro-
fessor of philosophy at the staid University OF
Utah. the answer is education He would ike
to see each high school and college have its
class in the fine arts of lovemaking, courtshlp
and marriage.
You cannot, Dr. Erickson believes trust to
instinct in love. You have to use your head
as well as your heart A dimple in the chin IS
not a good enough reason for marrying the
gal, and a letter in foot ball is no proof that
the boy will throw life for goal
He is not talking through his professional
hat He has tried his courtship classes, both
in high schools and colleges
Well, how do they work?
They work fine It's not shocking an
idea as many people think; it isn't shocking
at all
Il don't" DR.. Erickson points out, teach
the facts Of life don't really teach anything
at all And don't preach am what Socrates
called a philosophical midwife try to help
young people give birth to their own IDEAS
And their ideas. when properly guided, are
surprisingly sound"
DEFORE we 60 any further into the court
u snip classes. let's get DR.. Ericksen's Ad-
vice to the LoveloTn.
He says:
Learn each other
Can your boy friend earn living or will you
have to take In washing?
What barriers are there?
If he is of one religion and you Of another,
riages.
Check up on the family trees. Be careful
of one with too many nuts growing on it.
What kind Of parents has he or she? If
her mother is nervous and irritable, maybe
that's a future picture of the sweet young
thing
How about the family life? Study it. See
if it's the kind of family life that could con-
ceivably produce mate for you.
How about the health factor?
Is your beloved anywhere near your equal
in intelligence or will he want to read the base
ball score while you hear symphony orches-
ira?
How about his-or her-likelihood of making
the difficult adjustment of marriage?
How about his-or her-lnoral character?
Is your sweetheart emotionally mature or
emotionally a child? Do you love him-or her
enough to put up with pouts and tantrunls?
THESE are some of the questions DR.. Erickson
wants all young couples to ask themselves.
And he believes that society, instead Of smiling
sentimental]y. should help get the right
answers.
That's the purpose of the classes in court
ship-classes. by the way, which have won
him international applause as well as abuse.
1t all started eight or ten years ago when
he was conducting an extension course at the
high school in Selma. Utah He advanced his
idea then. and they laughed at him.
Why they said, lit won't work. You
can't get these youngsters to talk right out
in meeting about such matters It's their
holy of holies.''
Maybe so, but just the same it did work.

PICKS
ODD LANDING.

Isn't Nature Grandl AT least
one of our leading young business
men thought so this morning as
he walked along Main street on
his way to work with thoughts
either of the weekend pleasures
or of the business deals ahead
take your choice.
Suddenly and without warning,
large white bird swooIoed down
from a nearby pole and alighted
softly upon the young business
mans head, poised there for a
moment and then took off again.
The reporter looked long and
searchingly into the eyes of the
young business man telling this
story on himself. Those eyes were
clear and bright, therefore this
tale was no figment of the i'm
agination. 1t just had to be true.
strange as it seemed.
With an eye peeled to watch all
poles along the street and after
giving his hat another tug TO keep
it more securely on his head, the
reporter continued his prowl along
the regular beat, not wishing his
dome" to be the lighting spot
of any bird, large or small, white
Or any other color.
Imperial Valley press., 1933-07-17

1t means thinking, maybe with a
pad and pencil, thinking how to
translate the purposes of the re-
covery administration into terms of
things to be done, or refrained from,
in your own business, job, or town.
Maybe it is true that the best,
certainly the oldest thinking on in
dustrial self-government in the past
has come from the labor side. May
be the most comprehensive plan
ming now is coming from industrial
lists.
1t makes no difference and most
certainly the whole thing is chal-
lenge to the thinking of both sides
and all of us. Very soon the les
sons of hard practice of the recov-
cry act will be all-important, they'll
be the law, whoever were the pro-
phetS.
First text in Bulletin No. l is
this: Business is to split up the
work there is so as to put more
men back on the pay rolls and raise
wages for the shorter work-shift 50
that no worker gets less than a
decent living wage. Increase Of
consumption power has the right
of way Runaway prices would eat
up consumption power while 1t is
a-borning; we will not tolerate
them. Nor viii peioW-cost selling do
any good.

WEEK END BRINGS USUAL GRISI'
IN POLICE DEPARTMENTS MILL

For the love of Pete. Sarge, what
happened to that fellow?" asked the
reporter as he walked into police
headquarters early this morning to
get the lineup on police activities
in the city over the weekend. The
fellow in question was standing
near the door, the lower part of
his face covered with a dirty BAN
dana handkerchief.
In answer to the question, the
desk sergeant merely handed over
the familiar yellow paper contain
ing the typed reports. His finger
pointed out the following item:
Investigated a fight between two
MeXicans. One had slapped the
other in the mouth with a beer
bottle"
Playful companion!" thought
the reporter, jotting down the in
formation while casting hurried
glance toward the injured Mexican
who was being taken by officers to
the county hospital for treatment.
Another item in the report stat
ed that an officer accompanied
local tire dealer to q home on the
east side to collect bill that was
long overdue. The report did not
state whether or not the bill was
satisfied, but the fact of the Off
GERS presence was conducive to a
happy and also speedy settlement

cept through national cooperation.
Certainly I see no doing it by czar-
ism.
Not Imperialism
Industrial self government is the
underlying idea of the President
and of the recovery act. We are not
trying to gooSe-step the country,
there are teeth in the act, if cer-
tain situations arise. its provisions
are mandatory and I shall not hesi-
tate to execute the law as written.
But to the first line of reliance for
enforcement is on public opinion.
For me that reliance is based OF
recollection of a concrete personal
experience. I had the task, after
drafting the selective service law,
of administering it in 1917-18.
You've put youself in a fine hole, =
I was warned. there never was in
history a draft enforced without
bayonets."
Well, we made history without
bayonets. Public opinion did it, po-
Icing every community with know
ledge gained from studying the law
and seeing that it was carried out,
fairly at home.
This is a vastly bigger thing -
this new democratic industrial self
goyernment-and it will take a
more deeply formed public opinion
to make a go of it.
It is terrifically complicated. and
moreover it will change, as each in
dustry codifies its ideas. 1t is not
enough that each industry and each
man should watch his step, lest
the government should get him. "
but it is time for men in each COM
munity to contribute something po-
sitive, something harder than she'll

Roosevelt's new deal program,
it literally puts the government
IN partnership with business.

Written for NEA Service

WASHINGTON, D. C., July IL
The national recovery administra-
ton is to operate publicly, as far
as that is humanity practicable.
That means something to the man
in the street of cities far from
Washington. 1t means a duty, a
part in this administration, that is
up to him, and that seems to me
worth explaining.
Here we are holding hearings on
the first of the codes TO be submit
ted. which are to become a body OF
industrial law for the different in
dustries. It's all being done in q
goldfish bowl. Not because we are
so fond of being gazed at, but so
that the action and method Of code
making and administration can be
seen from far off.
We want i seen SO plainly that
everyone everywhere can under
stand, and by studying can pick out
his home town part in recovery.
There's no time to write each per-
son a letter about it. But neither
it is a time to jump in, head
first.
Use your head, first-we ask every
citizen; study sharply the broad
aims and objectives of this recovery

they develop in regard to your own
business and then you will be pick

Another officer was called to the
home of a woman on the east side
who had attempted suicide. She
was taken to the county hospital
for treatment.
Still another call for aid was
sent in to headquarters. This came
late last night and stated that a
man was very i'll and the police
were requested to take him to the
hospital. However, in spite of much
argument and persuasion, the sick
man refused to be budged and pre-
ferred to remain at home.

anniversary in an effort to settle the
controversy which has kept this COM

early Saturday, was ratified by the en-
ployes at a meeting.
The plan, agreed to also by company
executives, called for presentation OF
wage and other differences to the State

board Of arbitration, with its decisions
final.
AS several hundred National Guards
men In nearby cities were ready to take
charge should the Governor deem their
services necessary, 2,7o0 workers off the
job since Saturday already were back
in the plant.
The employees, who sought higher
wages and other adjustments, voted
unanimously to abide by the agreement

so-called Rockefeller report as con-
tanned in the book, Toward Liquor
Control as an unscientif1c effort to
gild the liquor, traffic and an excuse

gerous formula Of true temperate"
Other detectives were given as:
"l. Showing the social, economic and
personal importance of total abstinence
as opposed to moderation.
%. To expose the phrase true tenn
perance' as brewers term-a mere
invitation to drink beer.
"3 Resist the advertising campaign

brewers to give away beer to children
and other minors; to ask for complete
prohibition of liquor advertising by
newspapers, magazines, radio, motion
pictures or billboards.
4. Work to retain all State prohi-
bition laws: work for prohibition from
local units to the largest political divi-
sion obtainable.
Education Program.
"5 Arrange a visual education pro-
gram showing the economic losses from
liquor window displays; showing the
drag on the family purse from beer;
keep the radio waves hot for total ab-
stinence. Don't let the brewers into
