Pepper A Case In Point

Under present conditions, grinders
are required to pay more for the whole
type than they are allowed to receive
under their ceilings for sales of the
product after grinding"
The quotation is from an article in
the New York Times explaining why
housewives are unable to buy pepper.
The article states that on March
II the OPA granted so per cent in
crease for whole black pepper and
100 percent for whole white, but failed
to grant a corresponding advance to
packers of the ground condiment, and
has not since corrected its oversight.
This is so typical of OPA's short
comings it is needless to say more.

Minority Control

Independent labor unions, coveting
equal privileges and government recog-
milton, propose to consolidate their
membership in single organization.
The plan is announced in Washington
by Edward G. Wins, chairman of the
independents in New Jersey, who de-
clares that some forty million workers
are not affiliated with either the AFL
or the CLIO.
The Independents, he says, now
have four million members, which is
not so far behind the AFL with seven
million and the CLIO with six million
He holds his group is entitled to rep
resentation on Labor Department con-
sulting committees as we'll as the AFL
and the CIO, and has brought his pro-
posal to the attention of Secretary of
Labor Schwellenbach.
What interests the public most, we
believe, is the small percentage of
American workers that controls !abor's
destiny. By Mr.. Wins figures only
seventeen million workers are union
members, and forty million are not. Is
there in this country an example of
more complete minority domination
1t is not only the forty million nom
union workers who bow to the will of
the unionized seventeen million, but, as
the strikes since VI Day have proved,
the entire population of the country,
and billions of capital invested in in
dustries.
The United States is the land of the
brave, as demonstrated in every war
it has fought, but cannot be considered
the home of the free, with this small
percentage of workers and the entire
population, in control.

Shad fishing has always inter-
ested me and I have always been
an admirer-yea, devotee-of the
august New York Times.
Yes, there is some connection
and I'll get around to it sooner or
later. You see, to me there is some
thing or other lyrical about shad
fishing. 1t is picturesque. It's even
romantic.
Well, ever so often the Times
wakes lyrical. And what did I find
on Sundays Times editorial page
but a neat lyrical note on the shad-
bush. The contents of the editorial
were such that I assume the shad-
bush has something to do with shad
fishing.
Therefore, I'm passing parts of it
the editorial-along to you. In
doing so I'm seeking your aid. I'd
like for somebody to tell me about
the doggoned thing.
Here're parts Of that editorial:

Adequate Fairgrounds

The Kiwanjs club is to be commended on
sits splendid plan to provide full equipment for
the McIver school playground. 1t Is hoped
this may set precedent for what may de-
velop into full-scale program to give the
young people of Greensboro more adequate
recreation facilities Greensboro has IA play
grounds. The club has surveyed the situation,
and it is estimated that all of these grounds
can be equipped with proper facilities for
about $4,000 1t is suggested that other civic
organizations follow the Kiwanis' lead in help
ing to provide playground facilities.
Wholesome recreation and fun makes for
a happier, more healthful and more law
abiding community. We believe the Kiwans
club is about to make an investment that will
nav great dividends in the form of a better
and more satisfied citizenry.-

even that"
Isn't all that beautiful? Nobody
need ever tell me again the Times
has its head all the way up in the
clouds of stern international affairs
so far that it can't bend to pluck
a stem off tae snadbush.
But that isn't really why I passed
the editorial note along to you.
What I want to know about is this:
do we, down here in North Caro-
lima where we certainly have lots
and lots of shad fish, also have the
shadbush?
1t seems to me that if the bush
is named for the shad we have to
have some of them around here.
The shadbush, I mean.
1t may be. of course, that the
shad started out in the bailiwick of
the Times and only swan down
ere at somewhat later date.
Therefore, it may be that we do
not have the shadbush down in
these parts.
Could any of you all tell me
about it?
Again, while we re on the subject
OF shad fish, I'd like to mention
again the fact that the reason the
price of shad fish drops so precipi-
lately at certain seasons of the
year down here is that they start
running in the Hudson. and other
rivers, around New York where the
largest markets for shad fish are
located. The fish reach the New
York market so much more quick
~ than ours do from down here.
Therefore, the price for our fish
suffers by comparison.
Still, again, shad run all the wav
from as far south as the Edisto
river On up north beyond the Hud-
son.
Can it be there are none of those
Shadbushes anywhere in this terri
tory save under the eyes of the
Times editorial writer?

First Year The Hardest

President Truman approaches con-
clusion of his first year in the White
House. with less than half of his '''must"
legislation approved by Congress, and
much of that amended, as well as a
sharp decline in the public favor which
marked his assumption of presidential
responsibility.
To some extent Mr.. Truman himself
is to blame. He made the initial error
of surrounding himself with advisors
lacking the broad vision essential to
statesmanlike decisions in vital domes-
tic and international affairs and in ad-
dition to acting on their council he has
himself taken snap judgment on mat
tiers recurring careful and studious in
vestigation.
But it is not to be overlooked, in
any estimate of the Truman administra-
ton, that the President undertook to
follow in the footsteps of his predeces-
sor, President Roosevelt, whom even
his close political friends had found
difficulty in following, to say nothing
of keeping up with, in the closing
period of the war, which was already
reached some months before his death.
AS consequence, President Truman
has not been himself, during this year
of trial and tribulation, but an imitator
"a role for which he is not cast by
nature, inclination or training.
This is not an apology for the Presi-
dent. It merely suggests that an imi-
tation is never up to the original, how
ever faulty the original may be. And
whether it has been with his consent
or against it, the men behind the ad-
ministration scene have not given Mr..
Truman free hand in shaping his
presidential destiny but instead have
directed their main effort to his re-
election in 1948. Their policy has been
strictly political, and such is their hold
on the administration that Mr.. Tru-
man has had little chance to act with
out regard to the coming national cleo
lions.
Some democrats in Congress feel as
sured that the Presidents remaining
legislative proposals will be approved
before this session ends. We must be-
lieve, on the contrary, that splits in the
party itself are certain to block pass
age of some Truman measures, such,
for example, as the armed forces mer-
ger, universal military training, the
FEPC, and compulsory health in
surance.
It can only be hoped that in his
second year, Mr.. Truman will have the
advice of more capable groups and by
withdrawing whole sections of his must
legislative program heal the sores now
fostering within his partys congress
sional representation.

Day By Day
CHILDREN PLAYED
WITH HIM
BY WILLIAM T. ELLIS

Edward Sullivan, the British
artist and engraver, died a few
years ago. That news would have
meant. nothing to me had 1 not
seen, and soon possessed. his great
engraving, who Is My Neigh
bor?" 1t portrays Jesus by Cali
lee, surrounded by crowd, an
swering the scribe's famous ques-
ton.
But the greatest significance of
the picture lies in the figure OF
Jesus, surrounded by children. As
He faces the questioner, His hair
blown by the breezes of the lake,
and His face in tolerant smile,
the children are playing familiarIy
about Him. One is tugging at each
hand. Another has clasped Him
about the knee. ~- The little ones
are taking familiar liberties with
a Friend of whose love and under
standing they are sure.
That engraving by Sullivan is
one of my treasures. For he has
elaborated great and beautiful
idea: that Jesus was such lover
of children that they felt perfectly
at home with Him, in all the infor-
mality of childhood. The Master
was not merely uttering theolo-
gical truth when he rebuked the
shocked and dignity-loving dis
ciples for trying to drive off the
children; He was also expressing
His own child-loving nature.
We canot help but be glad for
all the comfort that little children
brought to the stressed life of the
Saviour. And we love children the
more because He loved them, and
gave them new place in the
worlds thinking.
AS little children, in simplicity
and sincerity and utter trust, we
would come to Thee, O Christ.
And, like Thee, We would cherish
all the little ones whose weIl-beinp
Thou hast identified with Thine
own. Amen.
