BE CAUTIOUS IN BACKING CAR
(By John Jaster Jrl

TBy JUHH JHSJGT, JT.
Many serious injuries--and some
times deaths-are caused by back
ing accidents Failure to make sure
the way is clear before going into
reverse results frequently in traffic
mishaps.
A great deal of backing is done
in and out of parking places. This
is ticklish business. Besides the
safety of pedestrians, you must look
out for passing traffic
AS a precaution sound your horn
and especially look to the rear on
both sides before backing. A child
or some other pedestrian may be in
the way.
1t really takes more skill to han
die your car in reverse than in any
of the speeds ahead.
So back carefully. Then you'll
have no trouble.

rams promise to get Kennedy's scalp Is gong
to get hotter
The two chief factors begging solution are
strong anti-union feeling among most members
of the commission and its staff and serious
series of breaches of discipline, especially among
stewards in the American merchant marine
Labor leaders don't know it yet, but they'll
be hollering blue murder when the commits
sion's report on the whole merchant marine sltu-
alton is sent to Congress this month The COM
mission has decided that the Coast Guard
should be used to train seamen, that new
seamen should learn discipline on Coast Guard
vessels and that subsidy contracts should re-
ouire ship operators to hire the graduates.
This hits the seamen's unions right between
the eyes. 1t would strike at their union hiring
halls where men are provided Tor outgoing
ships and tend to weaken if not destroy the
unions.
The scheme is sure to be denounced
union busting device and reports from inside
the commission indicate that some members
and high offirals believe, with either enthusi-
asm or dsapproval, that 1t is exactly that. The
dominant feeling in the commission is that labor
unions, at least militant unions, nave no place
in the merchant marine.
Although propaganda about bad discipline
at sea has been coming out of the commission
lately in advance of its report everyone con-
cerned-Sympathetic to unions or noU-agreeS
that a bad situation has existed and that some
thing must be done to reduce the large volume
of passenger complaints.
Publicity is being given to alleged instances
of the seaman who demanded hearts OF lettuce
instead of lettuce leaves, crew which insisted
on unloading a ship on the shady rather than
the sunny side of wharf, drunken steward
who fell into a swimming pool among guests,
a steward who said to female passenger, Get
I'D baby. it's time for breakfast" and so on.
The merits of the Algic case with facts bitterly
disputed will be ruled on by a federal court
faced by "A crew members who temporarily
stopped work at Montevideo.
In the background is the fact that seamen
whose wages were forced down as low as S2o
or $50 month and who crowded into filthy, ver-
min-infested quarters with bad food until many
of the better ones left the sea, are now feeling
their oats and releasing pent-up emotions.
But the commission is feeling its oats too
and has hired men for key jobs who privately
admit anti-union prejudice.
The question will be asked fairly or not why
the Maritime Commission couldn't try to work
with the unions, since interests of sailors are
vitally bound up with good operation OF Amer
lean ships. There is no record that 1t ever
has taken up any complaint with any OF the
unions.

Most important People

John r. Tunis, writing IN the curIehC
Rotarian magazine, makes his readers
realize that one of the most important
factors in business and industry these
DAYS is the person, be he clerk or be she
stenographer, who comes into contact
by letter, telephone, wire or word OF
mouth with the public.
'If you happen to be the first person
in your organization to reach the pub

important cog in the organization. From

The Real Objective
Of Any Business

What is the purpose of business? W.
NJ. Jeffers, president of the Union Paci-
fic railroad, speaking at the Sesqui-
Centennial celebration of Franklin and
Marshall college, told why business is
not something to be regarded as public
boogy-man, but necessary and vital
factor in our modern world.
Is the purpose of business to make
money? No, says Mr.. Jeffers, and goes
on to explain that ''the basic reason for
the existence of business is to serve hu-
manity; to supply the needs of the peo-
pie; to aid in their well-being and COM
fort
The point is logical one often over
looked in our consideration of the part
business plays in our daily lives. Yet
we have only to consider that business
cannot long continue to make money
and thus keep the business men alive
unless it does perform some service for
humanity Business exists only because
the people need it; they will no longer
need it when it ceases to perform SER
vice.
We cannot as a political or economic
body. harm business without harming
ourselves, for business serves us. That
is truth we might well remember these

Making 1t Truly
An international Highway

There is more than a little merit IN
the proposal originating in the Ell Cen
tro chamber of commerce that highway
be constructed from MeXicali to the
state of Sonora, tying in there with
the Hermosillo-MeXico City highway.
Such a highway would be a distinct
asset for Mexico and for the United
States, and would be of particular bene-
fit to the territory of Baja California
and to southern California.
One of these days there will be net
work of highways bisecting Baja Cali
fornia. The territory is potentially so
rich, and of such interest to tourists,
that only good roads are needed to make
it among the most important of MeXi-
co.'s agricultural and tourist regions.
The development may be slow, or it may
be rapid. That depends upon the ter
ritorial and the Mexican government
Such highway as that now proposed
would be very good beginning.
A highway from MeXicali to Sonora,
as a connecting link with the Mexico
City highway, would give motorists
from here a comparatively short route
to the Mexican capital, and eventually
into Central and South America. From
Mexicali north, it would be linked with
the International Four-States Highway
now dream almost realized 1t would
in truth, become an international high
way.
Anything Imperial Valley or, southern
California can do to further the project
should be done without delay.
