BUSINESS MEN ARE FACING
NEW CHALLENGE

The return of economic conditions to the
lower level of peace-time activities has
brought business management face to face
with the challenge of providing it's ability to
regain and retain its leadership in the ma
tional picture.
We are now, at long last, on the turning
point from that high plateau of super-duper
proSDerity-a FOOLS paradise which too many
people came to accept as normal. We are
now on our way down to that, lower plateau
of realism and cold facts, which goes with
peace-time activities.
Frankly we are glad that we are return
ing to that level because now men will have
to prove their ability to succeed. Men seldom
do that when they are strOlling on Easy
Street. The same applies to employers They
went soft Now management must again
prove its ability to regain and retain it's
leadership.
The CRYING need of today is for salesman
ship, the ability to get out and sell goods and
overcome ordinary sales resistance. 1t is
pathetic" to hear ga lot of crying on the
part of business men"
We have talked to. executives and sales
organizations in various industries and. ac-
tually, it is shocking to find out how little
some of the younger men understand and
know about sales and selling.
Now that things are slipping back to nor
NAL lot of younger men shed tears of self
pity over their hardships instead of good,
honest sweat through salesmanship.
The sooner they get over this-the better.

THE NEW YEAR

A new year stretches ahead, and who

well behind. The ice and snow of winters
nadir now are ours; and we can look for
ward to spring, the greatest of all new
beginnings.
It is well that the New Year comes at

We know that ice will vanish, come a

THE PRESIDENT CAN STOP STRIKES


The Labor Management Relation Act is
the IGa0. President Truman vetoed the Taft
Hartley Act in 1947 and his veto was over
ridden by both Houses of Congress. Still Mr..
Truman refused to do his duty in stopping
the worst labor strikes in all our nations his
tory The President has definite authority to
direct the Attorney General to petition Uni
ted States District Courts to issue injunc-
tions and prevent any threatened strikes or
lOckouts for eighty days" President Truman
has not taken definite steps to break up
strikes in the big industries. His failure and
refusal to act brings upon him charges that
he is playing politics, and holding the sup
port of the labor unions particularly for the
purpose of assuring another Truman victory
in the next Presidential election The pres
ent labor act established a Joint Congress-
ional Committee on Management Re
latiOns, with an appropriation of $160,000 to
obtain operation of the law, and to conduct
a study of the entire field of management and
labor. The Committee held hearings and an
nounced on June /, 1913 that it would not
recommend any changes in the Taft-Hartley
Act. And there you are-with the American
industrial system tied up in hard knots, due
to the action, and non-action of the President.

array in the majors. This past sea-
son, Gordon, a 31-year-old right
handed long drive hitter, batted
.2S4, banging out 26 home runs and
driving in 80 runs. Equally at home
in infield or outfield, Gordon was
used at both third base and in the
outergarden by the Giants, saw ac-
ton at first base on several occa-
sions, and might have been con-
verted into a catcher had he re-
mained longer with the Giants. A
favorite with Giants fans and with
Manager Leo Durocher, Gordon's
inclusion in the Giants-Brayes
trade came as somewhat of a sur-
prise to fans everywhere who re-
garded him as a fixture with the
Polo GrOunders.
Included with Gordon in the deal
that brought shOrtstop Alvin Dark
and second baseman Eddie Stanky
to the Giants, were Willard Mar
shall, hard-hitting Giants outfielder.
Buddy Kerr, a veteran shortstop,
and Sam Webb, pitcher. On paper
the deal strengthens both clubs and
gives the Braves, in Gordon and
Marshall, the additional batting
punch needed to carry the Boston
entry back up to the top.
Only GOrdon's confidence in him
self and his persistence made pos
sible his entry into the ranks of
pro baseball. In the fall of 1897
and early spring of 1888, the broad
shouldered Gordon, a teen-ager.
fresh out of high school, haunted
the Polo Grounds, home park of his
favorite major league club, and re-
peatedly begged for a tryout with a
Giants farm club. Unimpressed
with the rather slOw-footed lad. but
annoyed somewhat by his logged
persistency, the Giants front Office
finally told him he could tryout
with the Giants new farm club at
Milford, in the Glass d Eastern
Shore League, but would have TO
get his own transportation from
New York to Milford, the under
standing being that he would be re-
imbursed for transportation if he
earned a Milford contract.
Meanwhile at Milford, Val Pici-
Mich, former major league catcher,
was literally pulling his hair, try
ing to mould satisfactory com
bine out of a few holdover remn-
ants of the nOne-too-strong Girls
field Crabbers (the Giants had
bought the Crisfield franchise af-
ter the close of the 1897 season
and shifted it to Milford), MUS a
none-tOO-promising array of green
rockies sent in hurriedly by the
parent Giants system. Third base,
in particular, presented a problem.
and Gordon, upon arrival, took ad-
vantage of this situation, bv pre-
senting himself to Manager Pici-
Mich as third sacker. After watch
ing Gordon whip the ball to first a
few times and rattle the fence
boards with long drives, Picinich
agreed with Gordon that the young
lad from the Bronx was the solu-
ton to the problem. The rest is. of
course, now history, and Sid Cor
don, a young Jewish lad, who be-
lieved in himself, takes to his new
assignment the best wishes of all
fans whoever knew him, including
many from lower Delaware and the
adjacent Maryland Eastern Shore

When Girl Scout knocks on
your door selling boxed cookies
she is contributing directly to the
Girl Scout Camping Fund, which
is supported solely by this sale.
This year the Districts Girl
Scout program called for bud
get of $4,000 submitted to the
Community Chest, which sup
ports the group. The Chest ap-
proved a sum of $25, 1000, but could
give. the Girl Scout program only
$4,000 when the Chest drive
failed to meet it's quota. Miss
Anne McLain, executive director
of the District Girl Scout chapter
said.
Since this amount is inadequate
to operate the entire program, the
organization has worked out a
plan for raising extra funds by its
annual cookie sale.
The camping fund helps send
about 10 per cent Of the Girl
Scout membership to camp and
provides permanent camping
equipment for short camping
trips. In addition. it finances
trips for selected Scout delegates
to international camps.
The Scouts have four summer
day camps available to them and
take many overnight and week
end trips.
About SIS a week is needed to
meet the expenses of each indi-
vidual Scout at the day summer
camps. The fund is used in some
cases to pay all or part of this
amount. 1t also supplies direc-
tors, equipment, transportation
and the like.
Cookie sales so far have passed
the 10000 mark. The group has
a goal of 100000 boxes of cookies
to be sold by March 25 About

KEEPING HEALTHY
Treating Ailments Of Old Age
By Dr.. james w. Barton

THERE are so many elderly men
l. and women today that many
large houses, once so hard to sell,
now are being bought by registered
nurses or practical nurses and es-
tablished as "rest homes" for ell
derly people and invalids. Some ~
these larger rest homes not only
have a graduate nurse living on the
premises, but also a physician calls
once a day.
This speciality, geriatrics, is
the natural result of the length
ening- of the life span. AS we
grow older, we may not develop
any special disease or diseases,
but there is naturally a gradual
loss of strength, and so Symp-
toms and also diseases often
come with age.
We have been thinking of this new
speciality mostly in terms of treat
ing diseases of old age. DR.. c. Ward
Champion, however, states that geri-
atrivs is concerned less with treat
ing the ills of those already old than
with preventing, postponing and cas-
ing the aging processes and guar
