. And Then There's Father

There is an earnest effort to put father
on the map, to play him up bit, so to
speak. So, we have Fathers Day tomor-
row Fathers Day is not marked in red
on The calendar and it does not rank, Off
cially, among the great days of the year.
Mother got in too long ago, something
over twenty-five years, so Fathers Day
ranks as one of those minor events of the
year.
His day is tomorrow. All joking aside,
he is worthy Of notice and has lived up
to his state in life as a father should.
Commercially he does not make the grade
in the same fashion Mother does
Mothers Day brings about a commercial
exchange that closely resembles Christ
mas. 1t is boom time for florists, candy
stores, and gift departments in general.
Cards for Mothers Day are works of art
and this business thrives during the days
preceding.
With Fathers Day approaching one
occasionally has it called to his or her
attention by the words - Buy Tie for
Fathers Day! Father Will En- Joy Book!

den ! Buy Him Hoe For His Potatoesl

Little Lord Fauntleroy's illustrator

In 1886 appeared the illustration of a
golden-haired boy in a black velvet suit
with wide lace collar. This was the
artists conception of Little Lord Faunt-
leroy" and the boy was the hero of the
classic of the same name written by
Frances Hodgson Burnett. During the
years since then Reginald Bathurst
Birch, who died at eighty-Seven years of
age this week, Illustrated for about two
hundred magazines, books and news
papers. His significant work, however,
as far as the public was concerned, was
Little Lord Fauntleroy.
1t is said of this notec artist that on
the occasion of his seventy ninth birth
day when posing for the photographers
holding a copy of the famous book in his
hand he gazed at the Illustration and
said: "There is one of my early crimes
for which I am still making expiation."

The Supreme Test

One of the evils of initiation is the Bit
ter pickering that enSues over who is
reaping the benefits of higher prices. The
fact that the retail distribution industry
operates under stringent price ceilings
that more often than not work a very
real hardship on merchants, is not gen.
orally appreciated. Retailers, far from
making exorbitant profits, are striving
to stay in business and better serve the
consumer. Not only are their regulatory
problems assuming crushing proportions,
but each day irreplaceable inventories
dWindle.
BY improvisation and Streamlined op-
Grating methods, the distribution system
has been held together and carried the
burden of rationing and price control.
It's stability has been as gratifying as it
has been amazing.
Much credit for the strength of the re-
tail distribution industry must go to the
chain stores. They initiated the econom-
les of mass merchandising that in the
space of a few years revolutionized re-
failing The methods of operation which
they introduced we're rapidly adopted by
independents. Giant strides were made
toward giving the consumer more for less
money. Competition was keen. Stores
we're made more attractive and sanitary.
The advent of war found the retail in
dustry at high level of service and ettl-
cheney.
Retailers are now enduring a supreme
test. A cooperative public will help the
merchants maintain the best possible
customer service in these times.

Misery Loves Company

Before the middle west is restricted as
to gasoline consumption beyond what IS
necessary to save tires, it should be estao-
lished beyond reasonable doubt that this
would hel p the afflicted east.
If the serious situation in the east can
be relieved by making other sections
share the shortage this should be done
even though it may be true that much
of the trouble arises from bungling IN
Washington.
But no section should be penalized
merely on the theory that misery loves
company. If restrictions elsewhere VIII
not make it possible to get more fuel TO
the east, there should be none invoked.

HE KNOWS THE FACTS
Catholic Transcript

1t is far too common habit to
dismiss any uJerance by the Holy
Father as vague, general, up-in-the
air. The fact is that these pro-
nouncements are clear, specific, and
radical in the sense that they get
at the roots of things.
AS we have read the series of
declarations that have come from
the Vatican in the past twenty
years, we have again and again been
impressed by the exact knowledge
of contemporary conditions which
they indicate in the writer's. Thus,
no one has made more precise
analysis of the virtues and abuses
of capitalism than Plus XII; no one
| distinguished between Communism
and the Russian people more
sharply than he, or as soon as he;
no one discerned the impossibility
of economic autonomy for POLITICAL
ly independent small nations earlier
than Plus XII. Far from being neb-
ulous, the papal statements are
actually ircisively realistic.
This fact is borne out by many
details in the address given last
Sunday by Plus XII to some 10000
italian workers. One is particular
ly striking. 1t is the Holy Fathers
knowledge that factory conditions
are deadly Danger to young peo-
pie. He warns older workers that
their example and speech may be a
soul-killing scandal to their imma-
ture Juniors. Let no word, no joke
no story that could offend your
youthful listeners pass your lips"
he tells them. Every priest has had
many people come to him in distress
and even torment, over the verbal
filth that fouls the atmosphere of
the factory in which they work. 1t
is constant occasion of sin to
them, and they are worried whether
they may, in conscience, stay where
they are, despite the fact that the
work is essential and they are
frozen in it.
immortality, greed of pleasure,
and extravaganza" are seen by the
Holy Father as included in the
scope of the bad example which
may be given young employees. Here,
too, the experience of the priest
bears out the Popes words as
eminently true and timely.
Pope Plus goes on to make q
revolutionary suggestion. one that
we predict. will be carried into prac-

The Fine That Didn't Stick

Harold IckeS, in his split personality
role as War Coal Administrator, gave a
perfect Illustration how not to do things
when he slapped fine onto striking
miners and then had to cancel his action.
Either the strikers were violating a hold
over contract or they weren't. If they
were, theoretically, Mr. Ickes was obliged
to fine them 81 for every day they were
on strike and, in theory, he cannot now
lift that fine by wave of his hand. But
apparently there was a big question
whether the contract still was in effect
or whether the men were working with
out any contract, under sort of COM
mon law consent agreement, in spite of
John L. Lewis boasts that miners never
trespass on employers properties with
out contract. Moreover, there being
at least reasonable doubt, nobody was
going to enforce against Mr. Ickes or
against his principal, the United States
Of America, as mine operators, the pen
atty clause contained in the contract
that was or was not in force - maybe,
perhaps, and wouldn't you like to know?
Any child in a playground could have
forecast that the attempt to levy such
fine would arouse the miners out of all
proportion to the small amount of money
involved. 1t was gesture akin to spit
ting on mans shoes when he knows,
and you know, that he ought to be knocked
down and tied with strong rope TO make
him behave. An administration that had
proven itself incapable of protecting the
rights of our fighting men by keeping coal
production going, so that war industries
need not be slowed down, got tough in
the sort of petty way that bruises sensi-
tive feelings without settling anything.
That constitutes frank admission that
the United States of America can't
handle beetle-broWed John Lewis and is
driven to relieving it's feelings by thumb
ing its nose at its enemy. OF all the
evidences that this country needs new
approach to the problem of handling
strikes in vital war industries, this one
took the cake

Helicopters

The younger generation OF flyers Gre
ated bv this war contains many who are
as enthusiastic as Igor Sikorsky about
the postwar possibilities of the helicop-
ter as a family car of the air, which could
do much to stop the concentration OF
living in overcroWded cities.
The beauty of the helicopter for local
committing, short-distance vacatlonlhg
and similar purposes is that 1t would noC
require complete rebuilding OF eXlStlng
communities to provide scores or nun
dreds of big airportS.
