Concentrate on the Good"
Carl Goerch, sage of Raleigh,
N. c. tycoon of the weekly ma
gazine, "The State, said to me
recently: There are many peo-
pie who are prone to magnify
all of the little defects, short
comlngs and weak points in their
friends, neighbors and communi-
ties and who, at the same time,
have a tendency to ignore all
of the good qualities which these
same individuals or towns may
possess.
AS an example of this, some
time ago my wife and l were
driving from Greensboro to Raj
eigh. We stopped at Chapel Hill
to visit friends for awhile. 1t was
beautiful afternoon late in Sep
tember. While we were sitting
on the front porch, the bells in
Morehead Tower started ringing
1t was the first time l had heard
them and l sat absolutely en-
tranced listening to the beauti-
full Ginning notes of the carlton.
After a few minutes, l turned
to our hostess and said, Il de-
clare, that's the most beautiful
music I've ever heard in all my
life!' Quickly she spoke up and
said, yes, but they haven't quite
got those bells adjusted yet.
There's one little fake note and
if you'll listen carefully you'll
there did you hear it?
We'll, if she hadn't mentioned
it, l never would have detected
it. But she kept on talking about
it until lost all appreciation of
that magically wonderful concert
and found out that I, too, was
listening exclusively for that one
little fake note

Blunt Warning To Some Groups

CIO Pres. Murray without mincing
words, said unions which are unable to
demonstrate their fitness to organize the
unorganized in their industries" should
submit their problems to the Executive
Board.
Delegates, firmly backing Murrays
position. then empowered the Board to
take whatever action it deems appropriate
and necessary" to bring about effective
organization within the jurisdiction OF
affiIiates involved.
This provided a blunt warning to
unions operating in the governmental, OIL
flee and professional, and retail fields.
The per capita increase assured con-
tinuation of the Southern organizing drive
on firmer financial footing than in the
past-and il served warning on union
hating Dixie industrialists that there will
be no let-up in thef CIo campaign to
unionize the South.

Two Big Jobs Ahead

Delegates to the recent CIO cOnven-
+;or be;ng human, patted each other on
the back bit as result of the important
role labor played in the November cleo
ton.
But they didn't expend an excess
amount of time and energy discussing
things which occurred in the past. Instead,
thew devoted themselves largely to the
work CIO has cut out for the future.
They placed major emphasis on two
subiects-organizing and political action
Machinery designed to carry out both
iohS in the future more effectively than
in the past was provided.
Two-thirds of the &c per capita IN
crease will go to the CIO Organizing Com
mittee. which is conducting the Southern
membership drive A portion of the re-
naming cent will go to general organizing
The CIO Executive Board was author
ized to Investigate" and take appropriate
action" in dealing with unions which have
"faiIed to make substantial progress" In
organizing the fields over which they have
jurisdiction.
A firm path for PAC in the 1850 and
1882 elections was charted. And the ClO
legislative set-up was strengthened oy
creation of a legislative committee COM
posed of the CIO executive officers and
vice presidents.

A Brave Heart
BY Ruth Taylor

Manv centuries ago, when Greece flourish
ed as the great democracy of world whose
center lay in the troublous waters of the
Mediterrean Pericles said 'The secret of hap
piness is freedom and the secret of freedom
is brave heart"
What was true then is true today? What is
this secret to which brave heart is the key?
Happiness is the result of free choice; of
the ability to give freely and not upon the de-
mand and according to the will or whim OF
some self-imposed overload. Happiness is
found in the freedom to live according. to the
laws of right and justice; to work in spirit
of friendly intercourse with our fellow men,
unhampered and unhindered by prejudice
against anyone because of race or creed or
color or class Happiness rises in freedom to
worship as our conscience dictates; to pray TO
God as free man. at peace with ones own
soul and to see to Ii that our neighbor has the
same privilege.
Freedom is the absence of fear - of that
corroding dread of impending evil, that can
cerous mistrust of ones closest comrades'
which is the deadliest weapon of any dlcta-
tor - of the left even more than of the right.
Freedom is the security evinced through
peace of mind in world in which men are
motivated by respect fir the rights of others
and by sense of their own obligations to
society. Freedom is the knowledge that sue
cess or failure depends upon ones own self
and the way in which ones talents and abilities
are utilized Freedom Is the way of life fOrf
men VIII are not afraid of living
A brave heart is one that has courage and
faith It has courage to 60 ahead; to believe in
the integrity of Others to combat evil where
ever it exists; to fight Loyalty and whole
heartedly to the bitter end; to face the un-
known because of the guiding light of pur-
pose, the hope of finer goal. 1t has faith -
faith in ones self in ones fellow men. in the
God of ones belief and in the future,
whether it be a future in this world or be-
yond our earthly ken.
"The secret of happiness is freedom; and
the secret of freedom is a brave heart"

Women's News
And Views
BY Odessa Overy
Secretary Women's Bureau
Region 2-B

There are just few days
to do your Christmas shop
ping. Although the UAW is
trying to curb the shopping
trend, and urging the public
not to do any unnecessary
buying before Christmas, the
crowds are terrific and it
seems that many people did
not read the articles that the
Toledo Union Journal has
published. The articles re-
vealed that prices have been
advanced 209o just for the
Christmas buyers. l know be-
cause / am one of them that
has a hard time to curve my
every wish and not do all of
the buying that / wish to do.
Anyway the Christmas spirit
is a wonderful feeling. 1t puts
new vigor and vim in ones
soul and body and helps them
to continue along on their long
and weary trend.
The trouble is that the peo-
pie have forgotten W hat
Christmas really is, and are
giving it way too much COM
mercialization. Christm a S
started back in the days of the
early Christians. 1t should be
associated with Saint Nicho-
las, instead of with the birth
of our Lord. Although it is
a wonderful reflection to as
sociate it with the birth of
Christ it also takes away the
meaning of the word Santa
Claus which is an abbrevia-
ton of Saint Nicholas, and
should be celebrated on Dec.
6. But as different countries
were celebrating it on differ
ent days they got together
a d agreed on Christmas,
which is a very nice senti-
ment, only that people are
forgetting the significance of
this day. This day was set
aside to help the poor and
see that everybody was happy
nd warm. Saint Nicholas
wore himself out wandering
around and helping everybody
who needed help. So let us
not forget and try to make at
least one person happy on
Christmas morning.
Speaking of Christmas there
is a lot of work to be done to
get the children's Christmas
party ready so don't forget
that every willing helper will
be appreciated. Just call Mel
vim SchultZ's secretary and
tell her and she will tell you
where and when you can help.
! know that all of the avail
able help will be appreciated.
They always say that if you
don't get thanked for it in
this world you always will in
the next.
Local IL choral group will
hold a Christmas party Mon
day evening Dec. 20 at eight
p. m. in parlor l at the Local.
There will be gift exchange
and a social evening. All
choral group girls are invited,
so don't forget and be there.
So far as we know now we
will go to the state CIO con-
vention and l know that we
will have a good time.
Friday will be the fight to
help defray the expenses of

everybody that can please go.
1t is for a very good cause

Single Defense Force
For 10 ERP Nations
Proposed in Britain
BY the Asseeiotsd Press

LONDON, Oct. 20.-The British
Labor Party yesterday proposed
creation Of a single defense force
for the 16 European Recovery Pro-
gram nations.
1t said SUCH an organization would
bind the countries so tightly that
the task of unscrambling the eggs
to create separate national forces
again would be almost impossible. "
The party, which is the dominant
force behind the British Labor gov
ernment, made the proposal in a
pamphlet.
Entitled Feet on the Ground-A
Study Of Western Union," it re-
views the steps toward European
unity taken since Foreign Secretary
Bevin coined the phrase western
Union" last January. -.
Lesson From Czechoslovakia.
1t opposes projects for a political
federation but advocates enthusi-
astically development OF economic
union on the basis of the Organi-
zation for European Economic Co.
operation and the military union as
an expansion of the f1ve-power
Brussels pact.
THE fall of Czechoslovakia ex-
poses the futility of the argument
that If Western Europe declared
her peaceful intentions she would
needs no force at all" said the Sec
ton devoted to defense.
THE tragic lesson of the last
few years is that Russia has no
respect for good will without power.
- At the moment Europe's most
valuable military protection against
aggression from the East Is the few
Thousand American troops in Ger
many and Austria, because their
presence would involve the U. S. A.
Immediately in any European war"
The pamphlet acknowledged that
ERP countries could not produce
and equip adequate defense forces
without "wrecking their present
plans for economic recovery"
IF they decide to make them
selves strategically independent of
America they can do so only by
asking America herself for the nee
essary arms and equipment, or for
additional aid to Offset the loss in
production caused by an independ-
ent rearmament program"
Obstacles Acknowledged.
The pamphlet did not attempt to
detail how such a military union
might develop. But 1t acknowledged
that obstacles included the facts
that Sweden and Switzerland are
still welded to neutrality; that
Austria and Italy as ex-enemy coun-
tries are not permitted to have
armies large enough for defense, and
that Greece and Turkey are not
geographically part of Western
Europe.
Other countries covered by the
pamphlets discussion are Britain,
Belgium, Denmark, France. Iceland,
Fire, Luxembourg, the Netherlands,
Norway and Portugal.
The pamphlet argues that West
ern Germany should be incorporat-
ed in all economic planning, but
that Franco Spain should not be
included in any part of the scheme.
Principal railway systems of Eu-
rope are planning an inter-Euro-
pean refrigerator car pool.
