Labor disturbances such as
those now in progress on the
Gulf Coast are hurting the in.
dustrial development of the
South.
Whether we admit it or not
most Of the manufacturing in
terests coming South are look
ing for a better deal on labor.
A decade ago they were look
ing for cheap" labor. There
is no such thing now.
The truth about the matter
/. the industries in the North
and East are not getting a
DAVIS labor in return for a
DAYS pay. That is why they
want to come South ~ where
as a whole relations between
industry and labor are more
cordial and on a more honest
basis.
If southern workmen and
women get to the point all
they're looking for is a days
nav without regard to pro-
duction they will be working
against their own best inter
ests.
The greater industrial de-
velopment we have in the
South the more opportunities
there will be for everyone, Ia
Dor. management. executives,
business men, farmers and
professional men. The stand
ard of living will materially
increase with greater diversi-
fled industrial development
lust as our farm income is
larger and more stable with
diversified farming rather
than a one-crop system.
One of the things our
schools should emphasize to-
day in my opinion is teaching
the students how to work -
and the value of work.
There are too many people
now who feel the world or
the government or someone
loves" them living They
are the drones Of society who
do nothing more than breathe
for themselves. They have
no sense of responsibility
about making any KIND OF
contribution to the world or
in anv way justifying their
ax;stence. When this type OF
neople come to predominant in
our society then our ciVliiza-
ton viii decline.

O'Clock, when the Queen was due

as the royal party made it's ap-
pearance, a White House aide
announced: "Her Majesty, the
Queen of the Netherlands"
According to word-of mouth in
structions given in advance, all
of the women knew they were not
expected to curtsy when they
were presented to the Queen.
They had been told, however,
to wear gloves when they went
down the receiving line and not
to offer to shake hands with the
Queen unless she offered hers
first. On being introduced, they
were to say, Your Majesty" but
nothing more, unless the Queen
had something to say.
Queen Juliana, however, ex-
tended her own un-gloved hand
