prices; again confusion, inse-

in the bank but no ability to
buy needed comforts; no i'm

no stability, discomfort and no
personal satisfactions - again

THE war ends suddenly.
There is a season of unemploy-

afford to remain in the public
school systems; they seek bet
ter remuneration elsewhere.
Homes are not to be had, de-
spite all our solemn promises
to veterans and workers alike.
People continue to live in
trailers and shacks and chicken
coops when they find them;
they double, triple and quad
ripple up in whatever homes
they have. There is over
crowding, no privacy, children
are subjected to questionable
sounds and sights, to the short
tempers of disappointed, dis
couraged and desperate adults.

CHILDREN feel and know

The papers, the radio, the

crime stories; the stealing poll

rouser is a hero, the big shot
thief gets away with it, the
tough gang leader is a chal-

little fellow apparently always
remains little guy.

The Chicago Star this week
is able to report on the methods
used by one of the most un-
scrupulous outfits in this field
Labor Relations Associates of
Chicago. Inc. rs E. Wacker DIR.
Don't let the name fool you.
This union-busting firm is not
limited to Chicago. 1t operates
nationally-and the way it oper
ates makes an interesting story.
LABOR Relations Associates
was organized by Matthew w. Shelf
ferman, who has also been in
charge of such work for Sears,
Roebuck & Co. and its subsidiar
les.
Shefferman did such a good job
of union busting in Sears and its
scores of small firms that he de-
cided to go in for this new racket
in big way.
According to reliable accounts,
julius Rosenwald. the ''philan
thropist,' and Gen. Robert E.
Wood, notorious supporter Of
American Action Inc, and other
pro-fascist movements, backed
Shefferman in his new project.
Both had been impressed as
Sears, Rosebuck executives - by
the thorough job he had done of
cleaning out the union and cut
ting the standards of living of
Sears employees.
SHEFFERMAN'S principal con-
tribution to the science of union
busting has been the introduction
of the liberal boss and the APP
plication of the Hitlerian ''divide
and conquer" formula.
First, the boss is pictured as a
"pro-labor,' progressive" en-
ployer VINO is really only IN ouS1-
nes to help his workers.
Then the workers are split into
antagonistic groups by under
cover men who spread hatred,
usually by a clever campaign of
Red-baiting.
BY the time the labor rela-
lions" experts have done their
work. the workers are divided.

ditions have grown worse-but

Why youth crime ?
What the war did
to our children

|AlSll
The moral is get yours while
you can and fight to hold, it.
There's no reward in being
decent. Individuals as well as
nations are out to take care
of themselves.
REPRESSIVE legislation in
all fields is enacted, labor UNI
ions are to be controlled rigid
ly, everyone with whom we
disagree is a communist agent,
initiation is spiraling upwards,
living is more difficult.
The Thomas-Rankin Commit
tee, the Truman loyalty oaths,
the attacks on decent aliens by
means OF deportation, denatu-
ralization and refusal to nat
uralize, all inspire fear, sus-
picion and defiance to the Bill
of RIGHTS.
The constant reference in the
press to third world war, the
rivalry over the atomic bomb,
create chaos and insecurity.
THIS is 1947.
We no longer wonder why
children become delinquent.
The wonder is that there
are not more delinquents. De-
linquencY is not born into
children. 1t is built into them
by what we do and fail to do.
WE cannot indulge in the at
titude of those who dwell only
upon the negative or destruc-
tive aspects of delinquency, who
see delinquency merely as
wrong doing, as behavior
which Injuries society, and con-
sequently they are concerned
with nothing more than utiliz-
ing means to put a stop to this
social injury.
These means are the police
and the courts. The police and
the courts do not offer the
solution.
Delinquency has as much
meaning to the delinquent as
socially acceptable forms of
conduct. 1t is as purposive
from the standpoint of the
individuals needs and urges as
lawful conduct.
THE origins of delinquency
represent the expression of de-
slres and urges which are other
wise unsatisfied. For the OBJ
server delinquency merely sig
nifies misconduct; for the Of
fender it is just as much re-
Spouse to inner drives and outer
stimuli as any other kind of
conduct.
Delinquency is variety of
self-expression. Lawyers speak
of larceny, truancy, burglary
and the like. The naming of an
offense reveals nothing of those
factors which determined the
behavior. 1t is these factors
which must be known and
COPIED with if effective treat
ment is to be undertaken.
AS in medicine, the emphasis
should be on prevention rather

PRESENT
COMEDY AT CLUB
Civilians Entertained By
MINIS Group During
Luncheon

A comedy satire, "When Shake
speare's Ladies Meet" was pre-
sented by members of the New
Hanover High School Dramatic club
yesterday at the regular luncheon
meeting of the Civitan club In the
Crystal restaurant.
Miss Mildred Johnson, dramatic
director, introduced by Civitan
President Lloyd Jackson, told those
present that the dramatic club was
a comparatively new organization
in the high school and that they.
planned to participate in the South
eastern Dramatic Festival this year
for the first time.
AS the title suggests, the half
hour skit depicts what would prob
ably happen if the female charac-
tiers in Shakespeare's plays would
meet in dialogue half Shakespear-
ian and half modern slang. The
scene is Juliet's garden in Verona,
and the other characters come IN
to give Juliet advice on her TO-
nance with Romeo but instead find
that Juliet gives them the advice.
Those taking part were 10 Anne
Snead as Portia; Nancy Winning
ham as Catherine; Jean Cross as
[Ophelia; Miriam Anderson as Des-
demona; Lois Mcfarland as Juliet:
and Eleanor Sneeden as Cleopatra.

The continuance Of present rec

servicemen visiting in Wilmington
was voted by the city council at
yesterdays regular session.
The date for the ending of the
program had been set for March

current fiscal year.
Jesse Reynolds, city recreation
director, advised the council that
the USO has promised, however, to
donate $3.50 per month to the pro-
gram it the city will continue to
support the project.
Prospects for continued support
Of some type Of entertainment for
visiting servicemen beyond the
June 80 dead]ine, appears bright,
as a Recommendation was made
that the incoming council consider
the further continuance of recrea-
tional facilities here.
The action by the council came
after requests had been made by
members of the Second Marine
division at Camp Lejeune and the
82nd Airborne division at Fort
Bragg that the city support recrea-
ton projects.

Howe also stressed the amount
of good will which would result
with tn e continuance Of service

also declared he felt such a. pro

community and would be an influ-
ence toward development OF the

with such rhythmic and instructive

the music. They danced as though
they were so CENTRALIZED with one

of the other dancers all about; as
though their nearness created a
small, ~inviolate world into which
they had escaped.
And ever when the music
stopped and they went back to

lingering over their cigarettes and

it seemed to Val, remembering
how earlier that evening she had
fled from herself and from the
soaring memory Of Rick, that the
effect of Wade's personality upon
hers was a good thing. If he could
