Hardly day passes but read of some
big employer who is in trouble with the national
labor board Hardly a statewide meeting of
business men occurs but hear a loud lament
from those who have led the fight against

The trouble is that their cries of pain have

procedure, listens to only side, and appar

are aroused.
But when one considers the fundamentals
he comes back to this point. The law is that
labor has a right to organize. The labor board
by cutting legal red tape is trying to see that
that right is allowed without any handicap what
ever. We who long have recognized that right
should stand off to side and keep our skirts

course, the wine for which
Portugal is famous, port. was
very much in evidence.
Incidentally, there was not
one buffet, but threel And all
very lavish. One innocent young
thing exclaimed over the
scooped out orange quarters
filled with colored jellies. "They
grow just like that" remarked
Mr.. Bianchi. with a merry
twinkle in his eye. With an
even merrier twinkle, the Irish
Minister, Mr.. Michael Mac

by, said: Eyes, the same princ1-

It's An Art

Whistling is an art. It's unfortunate, of course, that so many who aspire to whistle fall short of attaining pertec- ton: some aren't even fair at it. But there are still many persons who can whistle any tune with pretty goHG ear for the music. There are lot whose notes are shrill and diScordant. Maype the editor of the New York Sun who typed out an article on 'Whlstllng" Morl- day night is unfortunate enough 10 WorK alongside of such whistler. Ii so ne haS cause for complaint, but not cause to condemn all Whistlers.
 The complaint was occaSioned by a recent whistling contest staged ln New York under the auspices of the Park De- partment. It brought out all sorts ana types of WhistlerS, some of them pretty good, too, from the various accounts we read in the metropolitan newspapers. But the Sun sees it in this cauStic light. :. ''Nothing more threatening to the social fabric appeared over the weekend than the cityWide whistling contest staged by the Park Department. It would be bet ter, most office folks agree, to teach youth to acquire the bubonic plague. -. There may be whistlers with tricks that entiCle them to the stage and salary - ALICE SHAW is still remembered - and there is throat whistle that is described as exceedingly rare. But the common or street and office whistler is about the lowest of all human insects. Anybody who would encourage him would encour- age war, famine and an epidemic Of hives. ..."
 Now there's misanthrope of the high est deeree. How would many of us ever have passed the graveyard after dark if we couldn't have brought merry whistle forth from puckered lips? Who hasn't whistled to keep up his courage before a dread interview with the boss? What humble clerk hasn't whistled for joy at the news of $1-a-week raise in pay? What person hasn't at some time whistled just for the joy of being alive and shar- Ing in the happiness that is every mans f he but seeks it out? Whistlers- human insects? Far from it! They're any man or woman with peace in their souls, con- tentment in their hearts, no load on their conSciences.

Democrats. Take Heart!

Real Democrats have no reason to be disheartened by the recent turn of events on election day. The loss of Pennsyl- vania, Ohio, and other key states may be a blessing in disguise. It is not good for the nation as whole for either party to have too strong grasp on government too big majority. A Sizeable minority representation insures better government = better political parties and candidates Hess arbitrary legislation.
 Herein Connecticut the Democrats are still the majority party and can still win again in 1940, fact the Republicans will recognize. Legislation in the interven- ing years should be better because of this. Nationally, too, the Democratic party is better off-will be more on it's toes-cloSer to peoples wishes and interests. For some time there. has been trouble brewing in its ranks - a cleavage between old fashioned Democrats and New Deal Dem- ocrats that threatened to split the party. But the people have spoken and against the New Deal tendencies so that we may expect better blending of the best in both branches of thought and action.
 The Democratic party, nationally, can still be the party of the majority-can still be the controlling party - but it must follow the wishes of the majority which obviously points to more conservative, common-sense policies than have been experimented with for some years. By consolidating it's gains and discarding it's failures, it can still appeal to the major ity of the voters. The margin between success and failure can no longer be disregarded. A slowly educated elector- ate now has strong views on such matters as balancing the budget, relief free of poli- tics, burdensome taxation, prosecution of business and free enterprise, the subju- gation of Congress and the courts, labor strife between various groups and against the public interest, and similar timely questions. The next two years should be interesting and better ones.

Surplus Food for Children

The suggestion of +wo-price system for farm products, by which surplus crops would be sold to flow income groups" for less than the regular market price, has not had very favorable reception. It is realized that something must be done about the surplus foodstffs, that dumping it abroad is troublesome process, and that our own people would eat good deal more of this food if they could get it. But a double price standard would ob- viously be troublesome, in operation and in social effect, tending to divide the nation into definite classes, making in- VldlouS distinctions and inviting abuse.
 Another suggestion seems more in har- In0ny with American institutions, though 1t is based on practices in England and Sweden. In the former country there is in operation plan by which all school children get milk every day below the current market cost In Sweden the gov- ernment IS now said to be planning free lunches for all public school children, using for this purpose funds formerly paid as export subsidies.
 x The suggestion now is to give our own school children one adequate meal every day from public surplus, thus easing the export problem and helping to sustain crop prices. Consumption, it is believed. would be considerably increased, and the children would benefit The idea is prob ably worth discussing, at least.

Texas Inaugurated

There will be no inaugural ball in Texas when the new governor takes over next January. w. Lee O'Daniel, who has just been elected to that office, says he'd ''feel out of place at such thing" There will be celebrating, however, and on grand scale that would make mere inaugural ball look silly. There is to be a "citizens' homecoming" held in the university sta dium, with 75,000 state patriots in the seats and thousands more milling around on foot The governor-elect says every body in Texas is invited to come and shake their servants" hand
 Before the hand-shaking begins the governor will arrive on top of the truck in which he did his campaigning, and accompanied by the hillbilly band They'll probably play the familiar hymns that folks like to sing. It promises to be quite an occasion, and just as much fun for voters as the conventional ball. The interesting question is whether this in- novation will be followed by others, equally startling, in legislation and ad- ministration
