Happy New Year.!

Happy New Year!
Let's not make too many res
olutions. They are 100 easily
broken.
The moisture in the last few
days has made the New Years
outlook much ~pleasanter.
One of the incest things that
can happen is to discover that
there are good, old-fashioned
neighbors.
Yes, the little one had a
nice Christmas. We wonder how
long the house will stand the
strain.
The dishes are rafting with
just a little too much-shall
we say-pressure behind them.
The daughter of the house is
putting on the pressure. She
doesn't like to do a solo with
the china and pots and pans.
The very saddest part of the
holiday season is when the
Christmas tree comes down on
New Years Eve. The Christmas
tree, down through the years,
has meant to me the grand
finale of the year. Now, in my
own home, this seems more
true than ever.
1t is a measuring stick, so to
speak, for the progress, men
tally. physically, and spiritually,
of the youngsters. Each year
brings happiness, sadness, and
understanding.
And so we take down the
tree - it's kaleidoscope colors
tucked away for another year,
to be turned into another pro-
mise.
The little tree, like the past
year, has been cut from its
mornings. 1t has filled Its
place in that infinite space, a
lifetime.
Here is my list for the year.
If you sit down and write yours
YOU may be surprised how much
better you feel.
Things I would like to do:
Take a trip in an airplane-
Have a telephone-Have more
books-See better roadside a
better housekeeper (no hocus-
pocus)-Have everyone we'll in
my family.
Things I don't understand:
Observation-Disclosures - Pschy-
ology, as taught our pedi-
gogues in regard to adult be-
haviour among their patrons
Hate, mems with feathers, wo-
mems without 'em.
Things I definitely dislike:
Two faces and one person.
atty in one individual-Okra-
The number bad roads and
narrow b~ridges-Gossip.
Things for other people to
figure out:
A good Republican president
for a 1910 hOuSecleaning-In
Just what trash heap to throw
the Secretary Wallace.
Brainstorms:
An airport at St. Xavier to
do away with any effort on the
part of anyone about a good
oiled road-Why are three of
the six big dynamos at our
state power centers not work
ing, when there are so many
farmers who need electricity.
and businesses and industry
need more and cheaper power?
Putting all ifs and ands aside,
this is the time of the year for:
Inventories, home, farm, shop
and United States-NeW auto
licenSes-Income taXeS-Life in
surance payments-White sales
Spring sewing - Youngsters
back in school-Skates on the
hook for weekdays-Quite short
daylight hours still-long, blue
velvet, star-studded nights.

War Department Calls
McGrady 10 Help BaIk
Strikes, Aid Defense
ShipbuiIdins Agreement
Pledges No WoIkouts
Pending All Other Means

The War Department has called
in Edward F.. McGrady, who estab-
lished himself as an ace conciliator
of labor troubles while serving as
Assistant Secretary of Labor from
1894 to 1887, to help prevent strikes
from disrupting the national de-
fense program.
Appointment of Mr.. McGrady as
a special consultant to Secretary OF
War Stimson on labor matters was
announced yesterday coincident with
approval Of mo strike" policy in
the shipbuilding industry by repre-
sentatives of the Government and
the employers and employees in
volved.
The group of industry and organ
lied labor representatives met yes
terday with Sidney Hillman, head
of the labor division of the Defense
Commission. to lay out a program
for stabilizing employment IN the
country's shipyards.
Strike Would Be Last Resort.
Mr.. Hillman announced the con-
ference approved policy urging
that there should be no interfup-
ton of production on the part Of
shipyard employers. and. -shipyArd
employees before all facilities at the
disposal of the National Defense Ad-
visory Commission for adjusting diff
ferences have been exhausted"
He expressed the hope that this
action may form a pattern which
will serve as guide to other indus.
tries in fostering the most har-
monious labor-management rela-
tionships and in maintaining highest
levels of vital defense production"
Meanwhile. the House heard
charges by Representative Costello,
Democrat. of California that the
aviation industry was being threat
ened with strikes which promise to
bring the entire aviation defense
program to standstill,"

Mr.. Costello said that if the new

dustry, the additional cost to the
Government for warplanes would
be $3.50 100000.
Mr.. McGrady's appointment was
considered a major step by the
administration in its efforts to pre-
vent labor troubles from interfering
with defense production without
calling on Congress for restrictive
legislation.
Mr.. McGrady resigned from the
Labor Department in 1887 to be-
come a vice president of the Radio
Corp. of America. The War De-
partment said he had been re-
leased from a large part of his du-
ties with r. G. A. so that he could
devote as much of his time as nee
essary to his new Government work.
He will work without salary.

Bomb Damage Found

Birmingham and Coventry
Hard Hit, but Rest Of
industrial Area Escapes
By H. TAYLOR HENRY,

BIRMINGHAM, England, Dec. 8.
bombing damage to Britain's In
dustrial West Midlands as a whole
apparently has been almost neg
ligible.
The area is so vast and SO tenn
ing with blast furnaces, factories
and plants of all sorts that even If
the Germans completely knocked
down one of the industrial sections
of Birmingham itself the damage
still would be slight.
Birmingham proper has been hit
and hit hard-but except for its sat-
elite neighbor. Coventry. 18 miles
away, none Of the rest of the Mid
lands industries has even been
threatened, so far as could see yes
terday.
Birmingham, Neville Chamber
lain's home town, possibly has suf-
fered even worse than Coventry
from waves of night raiders.
Dig StOfeS damaged.
A big church has been blasted,
hotels blown out and great stores. in
cluding some of the best in Eng
land, damaged. But on the surface
it is less apparent, for Birmingham
is big and sprawling and modern.
While the heart of middle-aged
Coventry and 18th century Bristol
burned out, Birmingham's modern
buildings stood.
Some of her big buildings are
reduced to shells. however; others
have been sheered half away, rows
of houses and small shops have been
blasted.
At rough estimate the city has
10000 to $1,000 homeless and an
equal number whose jobs have been
destroyed This is from a popula-
ton of well over 100000.
Transportation rapidly is being
restored to normal. There is no
scarcity of food. In front Of the
bombed and burned central market
yesterday I saw meat. fish and fresh
vegetables going begging on huck-
sters' carts.
Heavy Casualties in Homes.
Night raiders have concentrated
on the business and shopping dis
trict. In workers homes which
surround these sections the heaviest
casualties have occurred.
People are going about their work
as normally as possible under the
conditions.
During my tour of the town yes
terday raiders were reported in the
area. Nowhere did I see a rush
for shelters, although the sound OF
"whump whump" could be heard in
the distance.
A normal pail OF smoke hung ove-
the city from its many industrie
Workers bicycle racks and parkir
lots at most factories in the arc
surrounding the city were full.

Senator Taft, Republican, of Ohio
asserted yesterday that the admins

injudiciaI where he is that they

Saying that he would oppose con-

quorum of the Senate being present

cred. This probably would prevent

The thinking of some of us lacks

We have been worrying about q

I'VE forget that we have brought
the national income from 40 billion

in 1899 and near to rs billion in 1910
This is of greater Importance than
balancing the budget, and still
greater national income is necessary
before the budget can be balanced
without too heavy tax on thai
income.

the budget can be balanced on oul

budget.
Prentis' View Differs.
Said Mr.. Prentis: IF we are tc
build strong and secure foundations
of national security we must have g
national economy that is strong
confident and well balanced. A
Nation whose economic activities are
based on free private enterprise
cannot function in an atmosphere
of uncertainty. distrust and fear.
wherever the responsibility lies
the fact remains that the indiscrimi-
nate damning of industry during the
past decade, the viliflcation of its
leadership, the enactment of un-
sound legislation. such as the undis-
tributed profits tax; the biased
administration of statutes whose
objectives are valid and praise
worthy, the unprecedented extension
of Federal power by means OF
questionable legislative and judicial
short cuts in lieu of constitutional
amendments, the retention OF
avowed collectivists in policy-making
positions in the Federal Government
all of these factors and more have
conspired to inoculate our national
economy with creeping paralysis
iust at the time when it should have
been encouraged to function in full
vigor.
