his New York office and look over
the "evidence" that he has on file
there. Mr.. Jacobs said his group
is Operating on shoe string
and that if they asked for larger
appropria ton it probably would
be material for a column for you"
Mr.. Pegler did give the names
of two women whom he said were
members of the AFL international
Ladies Garment Workers and
who had complained to him that
their vacation checks were with
held by the union because they re-
fused to contribute to the United
Jewish Appeal.
One of Women to Testify.
One of the women, Mrs. Helen
Kulesha, of New York, was in the
hearing room at the time. MI
Pegler said that Mrs. Kulesha
told him that her vacation al
loWance was held up when she
complained to a union officer that
she could not afford to give the
requested ST to the Jewish fund
She is expected to testify later.
Mr.. Pegler reviewed the misap-
preparation of union funds in the
AFL Stagehands' Union, in which
two officers, William c. Biof and
George E. Brown were sent tc
prison. as we'll as the case of the
AFL Hod Carriers and Common
Laborers' Union, in which Larry
Kelly of Washington, an Officer
/ who afterwards disappeared al
sea during the war, was indicted
for grand larceny.
A lively exchange between Mr.
Pegler and Chairman Jacobs tool

ocation of the charter of an AFI
Carpenters Union local in Balti.
more several years ago. Mr.. Peglel
said the international union placed
the local under it's supervision
without consulting the members
He added that the local members
told him they were afraid to talk
about the case after they hao
successfully sued the international
union for damages.
Jacobs Interrupts Pegler.
At that point, Mr.. Jacobs, a
former labor lawyer. said he prob
ably knew more about the Balti-
more case than Mr.. Pegler since
he had represented the local in
the suit as an attorney in private
practice. The chairman said he
had advised the local members it
would be useless for them to tell
their story to Mr.. Pegler because
the columnist. never would write
it up" as he was a friend of Will
liam L. Hutcheson. president of the
international union.
II never met Bill Hutcheson," !"
commented Mr.. Pegler.
"All I know is that I made a
guess and I was right" Mr.. Jacobs
replied, in reference to his advice
to the local about talking to Mr..
Pegler.
Pegler Offers Statement.
Mr.. Jacobs said Mr.. Pegler in q

being subpoenaed by the commit

most famous among its many
kremlins. A ''kremlin" in old
Russia was fortified center of a
town, usually erected on a hall or
elevated area, and walled with
wood piles or brick. 1t was the
center of defense of the city -
and in the early days often con-
tanned the whole city - when the
Mongols, TartarS or other enc
mics attacked. In connection with
a general campaign to restore his
torical monuments throughout
the country, in many centers res
toration work has been under
taken on local kremlins.

THE SOCIAL INSTINCT
A talk delivered by MRS JUANITA c. Caroline in a ser
les conducted by the HUMAN RELATIONS WORKSHOP

Men are supremacy social
beings. They usually desire
companionship and hermits
are therefore rare. It is diff
cult for one to exist alone for
we are dependent upon one
another. It is natural for peo-
pie to live together in groups.
This social instinct is mani
tested in various ways, partly
inborn and partly acquired;
namely:
l. Gregariousness, the tend
ency to seek the companion
ship of others;
2. Sympathy, the impulse to
feel as others do;
3. Love of appreciation, effort
to please others;
4. Competitive & cooperative
activity;
5. Loyalty and altruism;
6. Teasing
Ambition is the product of
one or more of these tenden-
cies.
Let us consider briefly each
one of these ways and see
how it contributes toward the
social development Of the
child.
The gregarious instinct
should be prominent in the
young as they are dependent
on adults for their care. As
ISOLATION with older persons
and younger persons gives
pleasures and valuable social
development, but these values
are increased by association
with those nearest to ones
age, where there is mutual I'M
derstanding and efforts for &C
completing common ends. A
child must be allowed to play

Members of the Christian

cation are urgently requested
to attend a special meeting on
Wednesday, July ~, at the
Grammar School Annex at
BIS p. m. The agenda will in
clude: Election of new officers
and a Discussion on Infantile
Paralysis"
@How does a person get a
communicable diSeaSe?"
This Is one of the questions
we like to hear asked at a
health education meeting. For
the term, communicable di-
sease, the name Of a specific
disease might be substituted,
but no matter how it is asked.
the question is always wei
coined. It is welcomed because
we believe that if an individ-
ual understands howe disease
is communicated, he is on the
way to an understanding of
the principles of disease pre-
vention, and it is the preven-
ton of disease which forms
the basis for our public health
program.
In so far as communicable
diseases are concerned, almost
all OF us know that they are
caused by specific organisms.
What many of us need to
know more about is How are
these organisms carried from
person to person."
For convenience we may
list under four headings, the
ways by which the germs Of
disease are transferred. These
ways are through contact, di-
rect or indirect; through food,

with other children, or he will
be deprived of a valuable birth
right and is apt to become so
cially maladjusted. Only by
associating with children of his
own age can he get the natur-
al reaction of his own instinc-
tive behavior and learn to adj
just his behavior naturally to
that of others in various situa-
tons.
The influence exercised by
chums is powerful in that, the
more or less complete sharing
of life with one another is
valuable, but they should not
exclude others from their
friendship, for fear of becom-
ing narrow, and being cut off
from a wider social life.
Sympathy is closely related
to, and probable to some ext
tent, the product of reflex imi-
tation. The child reflects the
emotional attitude of those
around him and as a result
feel as they do. They readily
cry in terror or laugh in glee
If they see others do so, There
fore it depends somewhat on
the environment of the child
what his reaction will be to
certain situations. Sympathy
depends not only on his exper-
fences but also on his magma
ton which should enable him
to sympathize with a person
in any given situation.
Love Of appreciation has its
origin in the race, perhaps in
the fact that appreciation of
mates must be sought. The de-
sire for appreciation or praise
is very strong in young chill
dren, even when not especial
, 1949-07-20

ly developed by experience.
The tendency to reflect the
emotional signs and feelings
of others and to share their
pleasure or disgust is probably
related to the desire to be fa-
vored.
AT first a child cares most
for the approval of parents la
ter of teachers, then of COM
panions. At puberty he be-
comes more ambitious. and he
wishes for the approval not
merely of individuals, but for
that of the world. He wants to
become famous. In middle life
most men care more for their
reputation than for their own
personal needs and desires.
This desire for approval never
dies and is present even in the
breast of the worst criminal
who is a hero to his gang.
Children are not only great
ly influenced by praise and
blame but they act to a con-
siderable extent as parents,
teachers, and others expect
them to act. Children thus Of
ten become what their parents
teachers and friends believe
them to be and many a boy
has been saved by the faith
reposed in him by his teacher,
parent, or friend.
