Fresh White Collars for Sale

machinist is more likely to have
time and leisure to develop the
cultural side of life than the teller.
People began finding that out
after the depression struck. Young
men and women with high school
educationS or better found that the
white collar jobs for which they
have planned did not exist. They
went into the textile and steel
mills, into the truck cabs and
shops
And to the surprise of many of
them, they found first. that 1t
wasn't as bad a life as they had
been led to believe, and second,
that they were all the better mill
hands, drivers, or machinists be-
cause of their education.
The whole white collar culture"
of the twenties is now in disfavor,
and the boom in defense industries
now draws thousands more from
desk to lathe More and more of
the future seems to be going over
to the engineers, the chemists, the
architects. the skilled workmen.
Real brains and brain work will
always be at premium, but a
white collar just for white col
lars sake no longer looks as good
as it used to.
Old and artificial divisions and
claSsifications are breaking down,
and good thing, too. True Am
ericans will wear no mans collar
but their own, nor will they be as
greatly influenced in the future as
in the past by its color.

Just as there is a bright side
even to Affections like appendicitis
or "a tosillectomy, so there is a
bright side to some of the rough
ride the American people has had
during the past dozen years.
Something unhealthy and slyly
SubverSiVe of real Americanism
was growing up in the twenties.
1t was the desperate desire of
every family to bring its sons up
into white collar positions. This
brought a sort of cleavage of the
population into two clasSes-those
who wore white collars and those
who didn't
If ever there was a false basis
Tor division, that was it. Yet
families slaved and struggled, denied
themselves everything, so that their
sons might achieve a job pushing
a pencil or pen instead of working
with their hands. Thousands of
young men, often i'll qualified,
fought their way through college
or high school for no better reason
than that it seemed to promise
later light work at high pay.
That philosophy was fair neither
to higher education, nor to Ameri-
can life, nor to the young men. For
the primary purpose of education
ought not to be to prepare one
for a good job" but to bring
about a better adjustment of a
man to life, with greater appre-
citation of its rich and varied phases.
Such objectives are no less valuable
to a machinist than a bank teller.
And under today's conditions The

DEEDS OF HEROISM
MORE THAN LUCK
(Turlock JournaD

The disllusionment which followed
the last war produced a sort of de-bunk-
ing spirit, which did a lot of good in some
ways but which worked great hard
ship upon the romantic notions OF, the
average citizens of these United States.
There was a tendency, in some circles,
to pooh-pooh the popular heroes, and
shrug away their achievements as ''just
luck"
We have no knowledge of such being
the case of Captain Eddie Rickenbacker,
Americas ace of aces during the World
War. But if anyone ever did belittle
Rickenbacker's achievements as a flier,
we would like to call his attention to the
conduct of the famous aviation figure in
the recent crash of an airlines sleeper
in Georgia.
Rickenbacker, an expert when 1t comes
to planes and flying, was badly hurt IN
the crash. Despite his injuries, however,
he managed to give directions to his fell
low passengers, advise them what to do
and warn them what not to do. and gem
orally make himself of great help-and
all this, remember, while lying severely
injured and doubtless in great pain.
Of such tough stuff are your real
heroes made; Rickenbacker as a war ace
was a resourceful and courageous fel-
low, and the accounts of the Georgia
plane crash show that the flier who was
the idol of countless schoolboys-and
adults, too hasn't changed bit.
