A famous Army flier recently
said "If a plane can stay on
the beam of light as it comes
into the landing field, it can make
safe landing" The life that
stays on the beam also lands
safely. Men in all walks of life
are trying to make it to safety.
They have burdens too heavy to
bear alone. They have heart hun
gers too deep for men to satisfy.
They have anxieties too real to
be dealt with casually. To all
these, the Master says: Follow
me-. When a man is willing to
be made in the image of Christ,
he is on the spiritual beam that
guides his safely through.

NOW Is The Time!
BY RUTH TAYLOR

The editorial pages of every
newspaper. the commentators
whose voice ring over the radio
dial. all proclaim the same thing
= Management and Labor must
get together.
Prejudice or bias for one side
or another Otter colors this elamor,
but 1t still rises from both sides
= and, far more important to
both, from the great middle
ground of the public. who are
tired of the strife and who are
keenly of their own danger if an
agreement is not reached.
In this cutlery for better under
standing lies the golden opportun-
ity for those who are honestly
and sincerely trying to bring about
better industrial relations. With
the attention of all the people
focused on this subject, there
is opportunity for the forceful and
accurate presentation of all the
facts. No attempt of selfish in
terests to accomplish their own
ends succeed under steady public
scrutiny.
To arrive at a solution, both
Management and Labor must con-
slider the problems concerned, not
only from their own viewpoint
but from the viewpoint of each
other. The facts must all be put
on the table and the arguments
for each side given not in heat
and anger. but with full know
ledge and consideration of the
common problems we are all fac
ing.
Once the have arrived at the
facts, then is the opportunity for
a permanent solution. Both sides
will have to be ready to give up

that they did think something
should be done for permanent inn

insure its going on to even greater
success as a community tradition in
future years.
