Give Where Who Works?

AS housewife and former Red Feather
volunteer, I am indignant over the an
nouncement that the Community Chest
is practically doing away with residential
solicitation I am indignant for several
reasons
/. The slogan, Give Where You Work"
is apparently not meant to include mere
housewives. Some male animal must
have dreamt up that plan, for it GER
taMly doesn't recognize that most women
live where they work.
2. Women should have the privilege
of giving to Community Chest and the
Red Feather agencies as individuals in
their own right. They shouldn't have to
be attached to the tail of their husbands
donations. I have always been proud to
be contributor from my own household
budget.
g. Residential solicitation gives the
volunteer an opportunity to visit his or
her neighbors whom one sees far too
seldom in our busy city life, to talk
about the Red Feather services. and to
hear and answer complaints which are
largely based on misconceptions or false
hoods
f. Residential solicitation takes care
of men and women who work for firms
where business solicitation is not al
lowed, as is the case where my daughter
is employed
5. Elimination of residential solicita-
ton narrows the base of active participa-
ton so essential today, as citizens allow
more and more services to be centralized
in Government. The very people and
newspapers crying to high heaven about
Capitalization there are applauding it in
the Community Chest organization of
fund raising.
6. Referring to the visits from the
faithful volunteer solicitors as an "an-
noyance" certainly places Community
Chest giving in a most peculiar light.
How many people gleefully take the al
lowance for such contributions in their
income tax statements who turn the Red
Feather volunteer away at the door on
the basis of "annoyance?"
Let's have no more of this negative
approach to the. Community Chest. If

not particularly interested in certain
Government jobs because they involve
too much red tape and too many OBJ
stacles to free action
HE added: I will not be a figurehead,
and if were to take Government job
it would be with the clear understanding
that would not be held down unreason-
ably"
At the university, Mr.. Valentine oc-
casionally became involved in contro-
versies. the newspaper reported. land
once involved showed no inclination to
back out. He resolutely refused to COM
NIT the university to a program of
athletic subsidization
The paper also published strip of
pictures of the big, handsome Mr. Valen-
tine. which show that he wears his
clothes both well and easily, whether
tweeds or tails.
According to the testimony of a Wash
ington relative of Mr.. Valentines: "As
an administrator he is natural; in
fact he's hell of good organizer"
The new economic boss repeatedly de-
plores the use of Or" in front of his
name. His biography in Who's Who
lists only honorary doctoral degrees.
WllcH lie IcSlBucu Tile university pT6Sl-
dency last November, he was quoted as
saying that ever since 1923 he had CON
sistently questioned" whether he chose
the right career when he decided to
enter the academic world.
Mr. Valentine himself has been spend
ing this week winding up personal af-
fairs in New York He has been avoiding
interviews. Reached by telephone, he
revealed only that he is not given to
revealing much about himself He expects
to start his new job next week; Mrs. VAL
entine is coming to Washington to look
for place for them to live. They have
three children, but Mr.. Valentine said he
doubted they would be here much. One
daughter is at college, the other is away
at school and their son is in the Air
Force.
Here's little additional biographical
data:
He was born at Glen Cove, N. Y. He
was a star fullback and Phi Beta Kappa
at Swarthmore and later attended the
University of Pennsylvania and oxford,
in England. He is director of the Free
port Sulphur Co.. Rochester and Pitts
burgh Railway Security Trust Co. of
Rochester and the Bausch g. Lomb Op-
tical Co.
He has taken part in many civic activ-
tiles in Rochester. In World War I he
was in the officers Training Corps. He

'WithhoIdinq' Is Right!

We have small business with II en-
ployes. all female. In order to meet
the ever increasing cost of living. pay
roll increase of 800 was effected as Of
October l. On the same date Mr.. Tru-
mans new taxes went into effect. AS a
result, We find that we must pay $7l.9S
to Mr.. Truman, and $1812 is all that our
employees get. In fact, one girl whose
pay was increased SIS actually gets 80
cents Mr.. Truman takes the remaining
S468 for his share of her earnings. At
that rate. in order to give her net raise
of IS. which is what was intended, we
would have to increase her pay by $75.
We wonder if the luxury of Mr.. Tru-

worth such a confiscatory tax

The PunnubIe Ones

When President Truman's letter con-
tanning the remark about dogcatchers
unfortunately came to light, l wasn't
surprised at the pat answers which
appeared from the publicity department
of the labor group. Nor was I sur
prised when a dogcatcher Immediately
rose to the bait.
What surprises me is the fact that two
such seasoned politicians as Mr.. Truman
and John L. Lewis should fail to realize
that there are only two groups of persons
left in this world at the present time who
can be panned with impunity and who
can take it and come UP smiling: The
white race and Scotch Presbyterians!
Lay off ali other religious groups, all
other racial groups. all trade groups

Caldwell, Ohio
Dear Mrs. MoScrip:
/ want to commend you and
the other citizens of Noble coun-
ty who + giving your time and
money to promote the Well-be-
ing of children and youth in my
home county.
In the United States there are
| forty-six million children under
eighteen years of age. The future
preservation of democracy and
, security of our country depends
upon the manner in which they
are trained and the opportunities
afforded them under democratic
government.
The Importance of an organ
lied program for children has
long been realized. In 1909,
President Theodore Roosevelt
called a conference at the White
House which resulted in the Gre
alton of a Children's Bureau in
the federal government. Ten
years later President Wilson
called a conference which re-
suited in the enactment of child
labor laws in many states. In
1880 President Hoover called a
conference at the White House
which resulted in many forward
steps on behalf of our young
population. In 1910 a conference
was called by President Roose-
Welt. On March 80, 1948, leaders
from As states and all our terri
tories met in Washington to ap-
prove plans worked out by the
National Commission on Chill
dren and Youth. These plans
provided for state and local com
missions whose efforts will be
directed toward the formulation
of programs to promote chic
health, welfare, education and
recreation.
The state of Ohio, under for.
mer Governor Herbert and un.
der Governor Lausche, has taker

tional commission. Last May, 81
