LAKE SUCCESS. N. Y. May 81
Living and working conditions
aboard some ships flying the Pan
amanian flag are under investiga-
ton by the United Nations.
Are labor standards satisfactory
aboard certain Of these Panama
flagships? Do the crews have
adequate quarters? Behind the
quest for answers to these ques-
tions lies the broader issue of
nom n-Panamanian vessels seeking
Panamanian registry for such ad-
vantages as lower taxes ard light
er fees.
The q. NJ, through its special
lied agency. the international
Labor Organization. Is conflning
its inquiry. however. to crew vel
fare aboard specified vessels.
In Geneva. beginning June !.
the 10 will take evidence from
the government Of Panama re-

colt against certain Panamanian
ships imposed by the Internation-

porarily suspended following ne
gotiations between the ITF and
Panama.
A hearing in Brussels this week
centered about an on-the-spot
survey aboard two Panamanian
ships which chanced to be in port
the Derna and the Marilyn.
More information was needed
from the government Of Panama
and from the ITF. 1t was decided.
Hence. the Geneva meeting next

evolution Of compact ,inte-

Drawing shows the present build

abandoned and proposed new build

incorporate the latest school arch

abundance OF window space.
The proximity Of the Douglas

THE CHRISTMAS SPIRIT
THE CHRISTMAS SPIRIT is the

H CHRISTMAS SPIRIT is the spirit of giving, which
is the reason that men turn their attention to the needy, and
make sure that those less fortunate nevertheless enjoy. at least
the bare necessities at this Season. When the Christ child
came the world then knew that it had received its greatest
gift, and from that morning centuries ago, the world has made
every effort to perpetuate that spirit. Here we make contri-
buttons to organizations whichdevote time, energy and funds
to making the season bright and happy for those among US
who need it.
SOME MEMBERS of groups affiliated with the several
churches will be making their appeal for funds. 1t is not
necessary that pocketbooks be strained; a little will help, but
everybody must give. 1t does not require much imagination
to see that it everyone in the community gave even a dime
that funds will reach the point where a large number of those
who need can be helped. 1t is our hope that these appeals
will not 60 in vain.
ON THE there are organizations which
function throughout the year, such as Community Chests,
and therefore it is only necessary to implement funds already
within their control with that taken in at Christmas. Condi-
tons here somewhat affect the existence of such organiza-
tons, SO that greater effort must be made at such times as
Christmas. 1t is for this reason that we emphatically urge that
all give generously when approached.
THERE IS NO time like Christmas when mans response
bilty to his felowmen seem more acute, and that is why this
season is never permitted to go by without some conscious
regard for the happiness of all, especially those whose condi-
ton prevents them from enjoying those things which most
others enjoy. Let us give, and give unselfshly.
