WORKBENCH GLAMOR FOR CLASS
MISFITS
by BRUCE CATION

Serious thinkers have been StrOking their
boards thOughtfully of late and crying that
the great American middle class is being
squeezed to death by the pressure of hard
times. What they fail to add is that the
great middle class has just been asking for
il by taking unto its bosom great many
people who would be happier and more
prosperous elsewhere.
This fact was neatly touched on recent
" by the publiciSt, William Feather in an
article in Nations Business.
In spite of unemployment, says Mr..
Feather. the nation today suffers from an
acute shortage of skilled workers, and the
shortage is going to be even more acute
in the near future. And why? Because the
average ambitious high school lad of today
has his Heart set on dignified white col
lar lob. and ScOrnS the prospect of being
an expert tmret lathe operator, first
class pattern maker, skilled machiniSt
or anything else that requires manual
labor.
1t isn't the ambitious high school lads
fault. We have glorifed the white collar
man: as Mr.. Feather remarks, we have
taught the young chap to look forward to
a career rather than job. He feels that
IT would somehow be diSgraceful for him
to wear overalls.
3 The result of all of this is that the swol-
len middle class is damned with people
who simply can't make a decent living in
their chosen occupations.
We have pennileSS young lawyers who
wait with desperate anxiety for the prac-
tice that never materializes; hopeful young
dentists who can find no teeth to fill; sales
men by the score and the gross who sklmp
along on a hand to mouth basis, scant
Jump ahead of the sheriff; clerks who get
along on day laborerS' pay; and whole
army of luckless mortals who try half a
dozen jobs in the course of decade, sue
eeeding in none of them and eternally
driven by the haunting fear of poverty.
8 Yet all the while the skilled trades lack
men, and the skilled worker goes along
happily and comfortably on an income
that would look like very heaven to these
haraSsed white collar misfits.
What's the answer? Mr.. Feather sug-
gests, simply, that we devise uniforms to
take the place of overalls; and before you
start laughing, just consider the prestige
which neat uniform gives to the job it
goes with.
We have an abundance of good techni-
cal high schools to prepare boys for the
skilled trades. 1t would be fine thing if
We could find some way-to show men
that the white collar is not the only badge
of distinction in this country.
Maybe the uniforms would do it. May
be a universal return to common sense
would. Whatever the solution, it is high
time we found it.

CAPTAIN SMYTH'S CHOICE

This article from the WATERFORD Press and
Standard will be of keen interest in Greenville,
former home of Captain E. A. Smyth:
Several years ago The Press and Standard
placed at the head of the editorial page verse
from a poem, the author of which was unknown,
and the other verses also. This fact was mentioned
to the Hon. A. F. McKissck, Greenville citizen.
mil-man and former legislator, and this week we
received letter from Mr.. McKiSSick enclosing
the poem and the name of the author. Mrs. Nc
Kissicks father, f. A. Smyth, of Hendersonville,
n c., who has Just celebrated his Doth birth an
niversary was impressed with the verse carried
in this newspaper. and expressed wish to have
il inscribed on his tomb. In speaking of the fact
that he worked as usual on his birthday though
90 years of age. he is quoted having said that
he wished to die working using the words of this
poem.
The verses were written by Hall Young, and
at his death this unfinished poem was found in
his pocket 1t follows:
Let me die working.
Still tackling plans unfinished, tasks undone;
Clean to its end, swift may my race be run.
No laggard steps no faltering, Sinking
Let me die working.
"Let me die thinking.
Let me fare forth still with open mind
Fresh secrets untold, new truths to find
Ny soul undimmed, alert question blinking,
Let me die thinking.
"Let me die laughing
No signing DER past sins; they are forgiven,
Spilled on this earth are all the joys of heaven,
The wine of life the cup of mirth still quaffing,
Let me die laughing.

DISABLED OFFICERS
PAY SUIT is FILED
Virginia Veteran Asks Court to
Bar Removal From Retire.
ment List

In suit estimated to affect between
1000 and 5000 disabled emergency
officers of the World War, Alfred K.
Gilman, Virginia veteran, asked Dis
trict Court yesterday to decide that
President Roosevelt has no outhority
under the economy act to issue regula-
tlons which allegedly struck $500 Of
fcers off the retirement list.
Through Attorney Robert H. Nc
Neill. Gilman told the court regula-
tions promulgated by the President
provide liberal presumptions for those
attempting to qualify for pensions, but
make the requirements for disabled
emergency officers so strict as to elm.
1nate IS per cent Of those once receiv-
Ing retirement pay.
The emergency officer must prove
not only that his disability was in
Cured in the service, but that it would
not have been incurred had he not
been in the service, the suit stated,
Reviewing the history of retirement
benefits for emergency officers, the
plaintiff said they were first provided
Tor by the Fitzgerald act, passed
IN 1928, giving retirement pay to all
having permanent 80 per cent disabil-
ity. When President Roosevelt came
into office March 4, 1888, about 5000
disabled emergency officers we're re-
ceiving benefits under this act.
With passage of the economy act,
however, the President acquired wide
discretion in determining the rights of
World War veterans. The regula-
lions complained Of were issued by
him in the first month of his term.

INTEREST IN ALASKA REFLECTED

'0 The worldwide interest in Alaska is reflected in
many ways but perhaps at no time any clearer than
in the recent sale of Alaska stamps in Juneau Just
looking at the figures the returns doesn't indicate
much but a comparative basis it is entirely
different story The natural comparison is with the
. Territory of Hawaii.
The Alaska stamp sale opened in Juneau, popua-
ton between 5000 and 1900 That first day saw
total of 395550 stamps sold and 23O070 first day
covers" cancelled.
When the first day sale of the Hawaiian stamp
was held previously. the total cover cancellation
$4,000. But Hawaii has population of 1896
compared with $4,000 in Alaska and Honolulu, its
largest city, boosted 1882 persons in the 1880
which is than 20 times the size of Juneau Thus
on basis of population Juneau did 40 times more
business in stamps and covers" the opening day
than they did in Hawaii
OF course, it isn't due to any outstanding achieve
ment the part of Alaskans although Alaska showed
wide interest in the stamp. The may be
found in the thousands of requests which from
the Outside for cancelled covers" and stamps 1t
was that magic word Alaska which drew them from
all corners of the globe Few things have attracted
more direct attention to the Territory than the sale
of the Alaska stamp.

and 4 percent of her trade with England
In the event of war with Russia, Italy can
neutralize Germany and prevent France from
assisting Russia, and therefore the Rome
pact is logical pendant of the Berlin agree
ment.
Normally, Japan would have sought
counterpose to the Franco Russian treaty
in an understanding with England and con-
versations in London had tentatively begun
when the China war started They were broken
off by Foreign Minister Eden, English SYM
pathy with China having been openly dis
played. British warships have been found
inconvenently patrolling the China coast:
Hong Kong has become transshipment point
for munitions for China and British troops
at Shanghai are accused of supplying food and
bandages to the Chinese forces
If Japan is facing the prospect of pro-
longed, intensified warfare, wherein every
agency must be employed to effect China's de-
feat, the agreement with Italy (whose air and
effectively hamstring British naval power)
becomes a valuable war measure Paradox
cally, it can also be called a peace measure
because it clearly warns China's friends that
the war is going to become worse if the slender
chance of peace now family visible fails to
materialize.
Japanese makers of the new Japan-Italy-
Germany alignment have no illusions con-
corning its destructive effect on the prospects
of reviving the old friendship with England.
Those who privately oppose it are the older
Japanese, who look beyond present affairs to
a future in which England's friendship would
be worth more than Mussolinis.
