Playing a key role in Row

WARREN GUARDS JUVENILE POPULATION
Plan Year Round Recreation

VAN DYKE A year-round,
juvenile and adult recreation
program for Warren Township,
on a scale never before at
tempted, is planned by a quasi
public recreation group which
met at the Van Dyke USO
building Tuesday evening.
The physical and moral
growth of 10000 young people
of Warren Township is the vital
concern of public and private
agencies, it was decided by those
attnding Tuesdays meeting. The
large number of youns people
many in danger of becoming
juve emile delinquents are
sorely in need of a complete rec
reation program. After this has
been provided, attention will be
turned to adult recreation.
The proposed program will
provide for youths up to 20
years of age, offering them en-
tertainment and pleasure which
they now obtain in private
places where delinquency often
breeds.
Montana labor news., 1944-08-31

Lockhart's ship survived two subma-
rine wolf pack attacks that destroyed
four of the other transports in his for
nation.
He described the rapid action of our
battleships, cruisers and carrier based
aircraft when they destroyed or beached
every French ship in the harbor of
Casablanca.
Describing the shelling done by the
cruiser Brooklyn, he tells how out Of
4,OOO rounds fired only one landed out
side the immediate dock area Says

folks, that's good pitching"
When the initial wave hit the beach,
they were protected by large sand
dunes and had no trouble at first How
ever. when the boats tried to back off
the beach, fifteen foot breakers made
many of them crack and capsize, caus-
ing the second and third wave boats to
pile up on top of them. When the first
wave troops attempted to go over the
dunes they were almost completely
wiped out
After what he has seen of the tre-
mendous supply problems in the Pacific
and European theaters; Lockhart was
amazed at the amount Of labor and
planning that must go into each pro-
duction operation. He says that he is

statement then contradicts his charge
that the pay roll tax viii lneed to be
raised Immediately. If he means that
workers will not receive full benefits
for forty-five or fifty years, he is quite
wrong. Full benefits will be payable
within a year or a year and half after
contributions are first collected. It is
true, of course, that worker now in
his early tWenties will not receive re-
tirement benefits for forty or fifty years,
but this is hardly defect of the system.
Mr.. Grahams final point is that the
workers in Montana have opposed an
|employe contribution to the state unem-
ployment compensation system, and that
therefore had no right to sponsor a bill
calling on workers to contribute to a
unified comprehensive social insurance
program. I disagree. I am in entire
sympathy with labor's opposition to shar-
ing the costs of the present state unem-
ployment compensation systems. Those
systems are largely based on the (mis-
taken) premise that unemployment is a
responsibility of the individual employer;
most of them reduce the contributions
Of individual employers who have a
good" record-with unfortunate effects
on benefit and disqualification provisions
and in many cases on management-labor
relations.
Workers now contribute equally with
employers to old-age and survivors in
surance. Most workers want to contrib
ute to their own retirement income.
When it comes to sickness and disability
benefits and medical and hospital care,
case could be made for having the
worker pay the entire contribution, while
the employer paid the entire contribu-
ton for unemployment benefits. 1t is
far simpler and preferable, I believe, to
have employer and worker contribute
equally to all the benefits Of a compre-
hensive system.
Under our bill, have no doubt that
the worker would get his full moneys
worth for his per cent contribution.
Workers are now paying on the average
3 or 4 per cent of their incomes for
medical care alone-far less adequate
medical care than they would get under
our bill. They are paying 1 per cent and
are scheduled to pay 3 per cent for less
Montana labor news., 1944-08-31

generous old-age and survivors insurance
benefits than they would get under our
bill They are also paying in less easily
measurable ways for sickness and dis
ability and unemployment which is not
compensated by the present inadequate
state laws. Employers also would bene-
fit from our bill through a healthier
working force and increase economic sta
bility. All of us would get full value for
whatever amounts we paid in later years
toward a government contribution, in the
economic security-the freedom from
want and the fear of want-which the
program in our bill would bring. am
sure that if the workers in Montana
study the bill and not merely the false
and misleading statements Of its oppo-
nents, they will join with the majority
of workers in this country in supporting
this essential and democratic legisla-
ton.
Sincerely yours,

All me, how great a revealer
is the mouth-it tells the tale
of years. Your hidden desires,
compelling passions tug at it
it until it becomes a true in
dication Of your past history.
If you would retain that up
ward curved lovable mouth
that was yours at birth, be-
ware Of unholy passions that
drag the lips awry. Cruelty, en-
Wy, spite, cunning, greed all
have a way of taking toll Of
the beauty of the mouth. Re-
place these inclinations with
those that are good and thus
