"Presenteeis1n''

The Army is reported to be considering a
plan for honoring workers with uninterrupted
attendance records by awarding them pins
for "presenteeism" The plan was inaugural
ed by the B. F. Goodrich Co. OF Akron,
which recently presented pins to more than
400 workers who had not missed a days
work since Pearl Harbor.
Considering the pride with which both man
agement and workers wear the Army-Navy
E pins, it seems both just and psychologist ally
sound to try out the Goodrich scheme gen.
orally.
The country has deplored absenteeism, and
made great efforts to combat it, And rightly
so. But in doing so we have taken for granted
those who have stayed On the job. Certainly
this was no more than their duty, so long
as health permitted. But it is not be Won
dered at that some OF these faithful workers
may have been little resentful Of being
taken con- family for granted.
Some tangible form Of appreciation is GER
tanly due them.

Full-Time Job

Vice President-elect Truman showed good
judgment in his announcement that he planned
to devote his full time and efforts to the
job of being vice president. For that job
promises to be man-sized assignment in the
next four years And we don't think Mr..
Truman is putting himself in the Throttle
bottom class by electing a narrower range
OF duties than that undertaken by Henry Wal
lace.
AS presiding officer Of the Senate M Tru-
man may help to guide that contentious body
on wise course Of foreign policy. And, as
liaison man between the capitol and the white
house, he will have an opportunity to pro-
mote executive and senatorial cooperation In
the vital conclusions of peace treaties and
our membership in the postwar United Ma
tons Organization.
M. Truman brings to his new post repu-
tation fer integrity and the respect Of his
colleagues in the Senate. If he can use these
assets to help bring about peace settlement
in accordance with the peoples wishes, he
will have raised the office Of vice president
considerably above its traditional Importance

EDITORIAL COMMENT
RESTLESS YOUTH

Chief of Police John M. Gold told the Gray
Hi-Y Club that 1.-The highest percentage of in
dividuals arrested in the United States during
the last year was in the 17-year-old group"
This fact is freighted with significance. II
places new emphasis upon the peris which
surround the transition period wherein adde's
cent youth begins to move into the realm OF
maturity. This is one of the most dangerous
periods in the lift of the individual, a truth
apparently too often overlooked by modern
parents
War conditions have had an undenlably po-
tent influence upon the lives of our growing
boys and girls. Especially is this true in mill
tary camp areas and war industry cente-s.
But the problems of youth are not altogether
peculiar to wartime periods. They are con-
slant challenge to parents, to religious, law
enforcement and social welfare leaders.
There many approaches to the juvenile
delinquency problem, but all of them involve
the vital element of cooperation in which the
parents and other relatives of the child must
assume a vital role. There may be good sub
stitutes for many things, but as Chief Gold
implies, there can be no satisfactory substitute
for reasonable and proper parental guidance
and discipline in the life of a child.
The trouble too frequently is that some par
ents do not learn or keep themselves reminded
of this truth until the child has reached it's
teens. and then it often is too late TO impose
the sort of discipline which would have been
accepted by the youngster in good spirit had it
been introduced much earlier and consistently
maintained through the years.-The Winston.

Wheeler Wants Senators
To Proclaim Peace Aims

lciples and preservation here of
our American way of life
Often a critic of administration
foreign policy, Wheeler told re-
porters he had prepared his reso-
luton for this reason:
with the administration appar-
emily doing nothing with reference
to activities of Russia in taking
over the Battles, Balkans and a
big slice of Poland contrary to
the Atlantic Charter and every
thing the United States has stood
for, with England seeking to grab
eff spheres of influence and con-
troll over Greece, Italy, Belgium
and Holland, it is high time that
in the absence of the President S
taking a hand, the senate of the
United States ought to declare
itself and state the peace aims
of the United States of America"
The Montana senator beat an
other group of legislators to the
punch. Senators Hatch D-N.M.)
and Ball (R-Minn) have been
wrestling for days with the idea
of some declaration of congress
sional views on current inter-
national issues and peace prob
lens.
The suggestion for United
States of Europe, or a federation
of European nations, is nothing
new to Wheeler.
