Court Raped Unfairly

ON the whole. it seems to me. that the supreme
~ court Of the United States has been raped a
little unfairly by the liberals. The combined age of
the justices must approach closely to the figure of
600 years Quite possibly it tops it and yet this
tribunal Of last resort is by the stUy
and antiquated II legal system
Holmes at 9O-Odd much more receptive to
new ideas than many judges who we're younger in
years and slighter in the hierarchy of authority

do not believe now and never have that the
supreme court should possess legislative Veto At
times decisions have been handed down which were
in distinct opposition to human progress. Never
theless Mr.. DOOley right when he declared that
the supreme court follows the election returns
Without this hexibility it seems to me that it
should not and could not survive in Democratic
setup. According TO a most Unappealing fiction
the nine men in the black robes are situated high
above the emotional appeal of human necessity. 1t
is sometimes held that all the prOnOuncemens which
are handed down are based upon legal points re-
gardess Of the human equation. Law, although lar
from perfect. is good deal better than that. ANY
Judge worth his salt always find legal loophole
for a human need.

At this period the 5-year-old is likely to leave
the home to enter kindergarten school, He should
be by this time to walk alone on the street with
a fair amount of safety, to run and climb without
too much danger and to avoid trouble when II is
near.
He should be able to get a drink tor himself to

hands afterwards without being told about 1t each
time.
The 5-year-old child should also know how to
hang up his own coat and hat and to clean up his
play things after he has finished with them
TINE very simple lessons OF hygiene that every
l. 5-year-old child should know include such mat
ters as putting clothing before going out TO
play and taking off wet clothing The child should
know enough not to drink eat after other persons
and it should learn also the dangers OF putting pen
ellis fingers and play things in its mouth.
The child Of has to learn how to get along with
other persons 1t must understand the necessity OF
giving up what belongs to others.
1t should understand the right Of the teacher to
tell it what TO do and it should also respect the
authority OF policemen and other responsible officials
~HILDREN of want to tell about their new ex-

tunity to describe what they and hear even
though these things may not seem TO be OF lmpor-

Children Of this age frequently make believe ana

and asked for more subjects, and
the curriculum was enlarged to
include shorthand and tipping,
surveying, radio, public speaking,
Bookkeeping, construction prob
lens, accounting, social science,
natural science, geneticS, auto me-
chanics, auto body building and
painting, machine shop practice,
forge shop practice, cabinet max

and all types of electrical work;
and for the women, food planning
and preparation, clothing for chill
dren, dreSsmaking, child study,
and use of electrical appliances.
Many of the workers are making
practical use of their newly &C
quired training at the trades
school by making their own fur
niture for their houses at Norris
and by repairing their own auto
mobiles.
CUPPLEMENTING the class

school practice is a general and
technical library at the camp.
Across the campus from the
cafeteria it built the largest struc-
ture in the camp-the Community
building. This is the meeting
house and play house for the
camp and town.
The large auditorium is used for
movies, plays, dancing, lectures,
basketball, volley ball, forum
meetings, concerts, Switchboard,
and religious services.
A smaller auditorium is used as
a classroom In the large lobby
the workers congregate after meals
and spend their time before shows
or lectures at ping pong or check
ers, tables and boards for which
are provided by IVA.
Outdoor sports include ten
mis-, croquet and horseShoe-pitch-
ing. There are four fine tennis
courts. Last summer the workers
had an entire baseball league of
eight teams within the camp; now
they have a dormitory basketball
league.
Every night a program of gen.
eral interest is put on, such as
lectures by IVA officials, movies,
basketball and volleyball games,
wrestling matches, dances, COM
munity sings, and parties. Most
of these programs last an hour,
usually from 1880 to $50. From
there the workers break up into
smaller groups and go to their
classes, to the library, or to their
rooms.

DERHAPS the most striking
l. thing about life in the Norris
and Wheeler dam construction
camps is the absence of drinking,
gambling and other forms of rec
reation usually associated with
such camps.
Gambling and drinking at the
the camp are forbidden. Although
beer is legal in Tennessee, it is not
sold in the camp. Of course, the
workers can go to nearby towns
or to the city of Knoxville, twenty
miles away, in search of night life
amusements, but the fact is they
don't.
The camp at Norris was eStab-
liShed some fourteen months ago.
Since then around a thousand
men have lived there. And in all
that time there has not been a
single fight. In the five months
since the establishment of a police
force at Norris there have been
eight arreSts-most of them among
the more than 100000 outsiders
from every state in the Union who
have visited the dam, camp and
town since last May.

them.
New York home owners should
pay no more than 3l2 cents a
kilowatt hour for electricity, the
power authority finds. They now
are paying an average of 6 cents.
The difference is the amount by
which the power authority believes
distribution charges should be re-
duced.
1t arrived at its conclusions
this way:
1t made a physical inventory of
the distribution property-poles,
conductors, transformers, and so
forth-placed a value on the prop
erty based upon reasonable unit
costs, and determined the fixed
charges and expenses necessary to
operate the property. 1t allocated
charges to the various classes of
service.
1t allowed for 6 per cent return

fixed capital, and an additional

The power authority did not
find this pioneering easy. 1t was
handicapped. it reports, by the fact
that the holding companies, as
matter of policy. prevented The

data directly from the men ac-
tually operating local distribution
systems. They insisted that all

such data alone would have threat
