gram. Many still have to "dis-
cover" that the members secured
through a "cover all agreement,
wherein is provided that all pres
ent and future employees must be-
come (and, in our later imam
tencc of membership" clause)
and continue as members in good
standing-must be made acquaint
ed with real economic benefits OF
this membership before they be-
come "union-minded." 1t is an
fortunate commentary On our
practices that local unions have
elevated members to important
local union offices whose qualifi-
cations, whatever they might have
been in the technique of their
trade or profession, in no way
justified their selection. Labor
unions with all of their fine ideo-
logy and background, are essential
ly business organizations, whose
primary function have to do with
establishing and maintaining bet
ter standards of wages, hours and
working conditions and improved
industrial relations with employ
ers. AS leaders we should require
qualified, trained officials and rep
resentatives. Such a statement
should apply with equal force to
all local unions where local un-
ions enter into collective bargain
ing with their employers,
So too, it is equally essential
that leaders of this type have the
loyal support of a majority CT
their membership. Otherwise
unions and their memberships are
at "cross roads" as to the bene-
fits Of organizations.

great hill Of life.
Manhood and womanhood arc
ltne next two stages in an indl.
| vidual's life. These two periods
are known as the early summer Of
life and all the characteristics and
traits are present and the adult
knows just where he is going.
When early summer ceases then
come Indian summer which we
call the middle age of life, This
is merely a preparatory season
for the fall. Individuals should
pass this period with ease and
relaxation.
Lastly, we enter the last two
stages Of life called approaching
senility and senility. Individuals
that are living in the fall of their
lives are classified in this group.
They are neither middle aged or
real old but are in between. These
individuals are still active but are
fast losing their activeness. They
gradually pass through this stage
as do others and are faced with
the winter Of life.
Winter of life is very black
The individuals become feeble, in
active, and there is a comparison
to the winter of the season Of the
year Let me say if youth has
wasted her opportunities, has built
on nothing, and has made no
! strides she is as helpless as the
new horn babe. There is nothing
she can do but look back through
the years and visualize picture
of her past life. If she is wise.
she has spent these years to the
very best possible advantage. II
not, it is too late fer life is about
to pull down her curtains. Wise
people in senility are able to reap
the golden harvest Of their life S
work.
Now youth this is your day
