Jobs For All Ages

Recent discussion about the problem
OF finding jobs for men over 40, against
whom many employers are said to be dis
eliminating, brings to light an interesting
experiment of Henry Fords not generally
known Some years ago when Henry
Ford established plant in Ypsilanti,
Michigan, he had survey made of all
age-groups in the community, showing
the percentage Of the population between
20 and 30, 80 and 40, 40 and so, and so
on. Then when he started hiring
workers, he tried to reproduce in his
plant an exact cross-section of the age
distribution of the town." That is, he
hired men in proportion to the number
OF people OF their age living round about.
He carried the plan out so thoroughly
that he even employed men as old as 70.
And the result? Mr. Ford has pro-
nounced himself satisfied. It was socially
fair, and he didn't think the factory was
handicapped or cheated. 1t was, OF
course, fine service to the community.
The present tendency is to freeze out
the older groups entirely from the ranks
of industry, establishing maximum age
as low as so or 40, although the new social
security plan doesn't apply until the age
Of IS. This practice is obviously unfair
to the individuals affected and absurd
from the viewpoint Of community welfare.

Child Labor Again

The nation has slipped backward in one
respect as recovery has gained momen-
tum. The National Child Labor Com
mittee has found a general increase in
child labor throughout the country.
Working permits, where required, are in
creasing in number. In some places child
labor has been revived under appalling
conditions, harmful to the children's
health, character and education.
There should no longer be any misun-
derstanding about what is meant by child
labor. No intelligent person objects to
children working at useful tasks, suited
to their age and strength, as their share
Of family life. This sort Of thing, at home
or in the neighborhood, can be quite
wholesome when it does not consume all
child's leisure time, deprive him of
abundant sleep and play, or injure his all
round development.
The thing that child welfare groups
are concerned about is the back-breaking,
dangerous, grinding toll which brushes
the child's body and spirit and for which
he receives miserably low pay. That this
sort OF thing is increasing with business
improvement is disgrace to enlightened
America.

many, families and individuals who
"have" have shared with those who "have

ton Of Old Scrooge's estimate Of Christ
mas spirit: "Christmasl BAIL HumbugI"
Yet 1t Is not a perfect Christmas. peace

to personal relationships. Over large
areas Of Christendom human beings fight
each other, nations arm against each
other, dreadful fear and savage selfish
ness dominate many people and many
governments.
Perhaps it would be well when the
stockings have been emptied, the new
toys examined and the trees admired, to
take time from further festivities to talk
over the significance of Christmas. II
nations accepted the Christmas message
as families and individuals do, there
might be some hope that civilization would
save itself from the abyss of war. And
how can nations ever reach such an atti-
tude toward each other if it is not taught
to their citizens in their homes from
childhood on?

At the National Press Club luncheon
In Washington, D. c., this week Post
MASTER General James A. Farley, just
home from vacation in Ireland, assumed
no mock heroic role, but quite openly and
with some pride pointed to the fact that
since 1928 his predictions have come out
not merely close to right, but just about
perfect. All of which causes the republic
can press to chortle in it's headlines, but
beneath the surface to squirm and writhe
and gnash its teeth.
For the republican press of the U.S.A.
does not take kindly to "Jim' Farley due
to his uncanny ability to call the cards
before they are turned. In fact, the re-
publican press is apt to poke fun at Mr..
Farley, to criticize him, to taunt him,
and in general to vent it's spite upon him.
But in most urbane manner the imper-
turbable Mr. Farley has shed these barbs
like duck sheds water. He will shed
the latest arrows of satire, too.
In it's headlines Wednesday the New
York Herald-Tribune spoke thusly -

ticators can be right once in awhile, but
the democratic boss has been right since
he actually started his career of national
politics
He says himself of his record, "In 1928
predicted Mr. Roosevelt would be elected
by over 100000 as Governor of New York
State. In 1880 predicted that he would
be reelected Governor by the then amaz-
ing margin of 100000. He was elected by
10000. The day after that election l
predicted he would be the next President
Of the United States.
"Then I predicted he would be non-
mated for President on the first ballot at
Chicago. Well, he should have been. Any
candidate with 670-odd votes on the first
ballot ought to be. If Sam Rayburn had
been more generous, he would have been.

Permanent CCC

NEW LONDON DAY

OF course 1t is to be expected that
the head Of any new deal agency Of
the government will consider his
work, and his departments work,
important enough to be continued
on a permanent basis. But when
Robert Fechner, director Of the CCC
program, suggests, In his annual re-
port, that the CCC ought to be
made permanent, he Is likely to get
a more approving reception than
some Of the new dealers might.
Fechner's CCC has done some ex-
cellent work. Besides these projects
1t has attempted, apparently in all
good faith, TO carry out number
of other projects which might bet
ter have been left untouched. But
1t has, beyond all argument, accom-
plished more than most new deal

something worth while to show for
Its efforts.

TO PRESERVE OLD LANDMARKS

who like Mr.. Ford, can indulge their
love for antiques TO the extent Of
maintaining a village for that pur-

who would like TO do what they
can toward the same object by CO.
operating with others. 1t Is to make
such patriotic and valuable work
possible that the Antiquarian and
Landmark Society Of Connecticut
has been formed.
The society, with Governor Cross

executive board, has already adop-
ted an ambitious program. 1t Is or
ganized to receive and maintain
gifts Of property, both In buildings
and land, also gifts OF paintings,

there Is genuine enthusiasm for

Fell ladder from the skies,
Thus the shepherds told the story.
As they rubbed their sleepy eyes,
And the angels carolled tfen,

To world that's dark with rancor.
Full Of doubling and Of fear.
At each nations heart a canker,
Comes the Angels song. this year.
In the silence hear 1t still.
Peace on Earth, the Heavenly Will.
Put away your drums and thunder,
Put away your thoughts Of strife,
Listen TO tale OF wonder,
To the story Of His life,
To the song that comes TO mind,
Ever beautiful and kind.
It's the song for you and me,
OF the Christ Child. long ago,
OF the Great Nativity.

II there is any justice in the COM
plants of motorists who failed to have
their cars inspected at this last test
period, then the Motor Vehicle Depart
ment should consider them carefully.
The complaint is that the motorists who
skipped this latest test are being made to
bear the brunt of the departments dis
pleasure, while those who skipped the
tests at the previous two tests escaped,
for the most part, scot free. This last Is
mostly conjecture, we imagine, on the
part of those who have been checked
up. 1t might be hard to determine now
just who didn't go through the tests the
first two times. However, it's just what
we have claimed right along. You can't
make exceptions in one case and then
expect to "crack down" in the next case.
We have no sympathy for any motorist
who missed the check-ups. If three
fourths of us can have our cars inspected,
so can the remaining one-fourth.
