Talks between the unions and

There. too, the union had to

but still some improvement over
union security provisions which
the steel union had enjoyed pre-

Many millions Of American
workers now are under union

The unions viewpoint is that
the workers should be required to

The management viewpoint is
that no worker should be required
to be a union member or pay dues
if the individual worker dislikes

Polio
Pledge

The National Foundation for
1nfantile Paralysis urges parents
to read this Polio Pledge for 1852:
II polio comes to my commu-
nifty, I WILL REMEMBER TO:
Let my children continue to-
play with their usual companions.
They have already been exposed
to whatever polio virus there may
be In that group. and they may
have developed immunity (pro-
tection) against 1t.
Teach my children to scrub
their hands before putting food
into their mouths. Polio virus
may be carried into the body
through the mouth.
See that my children never use
anybody else's towels, wash cloths
or dirty drinking glasses. dishes
and tableware. Polio virus could
be carried from these things to
other people.
Follow my doctors advice about
nose and throat operations, inoc-
ulations or teeth extractions dur
ing the polio season.
Be ever watchful for signs of
polio: Headache. fever. sore
throat. upset stomach. tenderness
and stiffness Of the neck and back.
Call my doctor at once and, in
the meantime. put to bed and
away from others any member of
the family showing such symp-
toms.
I WILL NOT:
Allow my children to mingle
with strangers, especially in
crowds, or to go into homes out
side their own circle. There are
three different viruseS that cause
polio. My children's group may
be immune to one Of these.
Strangers may carry another polio
virus to which they are not i'm
mune.
Let my child get fatigued or
chilled. Overtired or chilled bod
les are less able to fight off polio.
Take my children away from
their community without good
cause. Polio time Is the time to
stay home and keep with every
dav companionS.
If polio strikes my home. ]
WILL:
Have confidence in my doctor,
knowing the earlier the care. the
better my children's chances OF
complete recovery. I know that
my child has a better than even
chance to recover without paral-
ysis.
Cali my chapter Of the Ma
tional Foundation for Infantile
Paralysis Immediately for infor.
nation or help.
Remember that whatever flnan-
cial help my family needs for po-
lilo care will be given through the
chapter. This Is made possible
by gifts Of the American people

Fashion
Notes

II you've never had an intro
duction to the fashions of the
roaring '20s" you'll have a happy
one in the costumes designed by
Miles White for Gentlemen Pre-
fer Blondes" now at the National.
According to him the clothes of
the early '2os had a real elegance
generally overlooked by 50 many.
That gay, ghttering era was q
lavish one and the clothes re-
flected the period. Chiffon gowns
had bodices elaborately embroid-
cred in bugle beads. Gold lame
was the hit in the hostess pajama
lineup. Opulence was the key
note. White fox boas, red satin
pumps, rhinestones, snug-fitting
cloches. knotted miles" of pearls,
monkey-fur- trimmed coats, spit
curl hairdos, plumes, waistlines at
the hiplines, short skirts and
camel's hair polo coats were sig
nature notes of the period.
Though referred to frequently
as one of the ugliest periods of
fashion design in the history of
America, the fashions evidently
didn't bother those who were
wearing them. One gentleman we
spoke with during intermission
time was a young man during the
'20s. He stoutly maintained that
he thought the clothes worn by
the women at that time were
darn cute" He said they were
a symbol Of the new emancipation
of women from the clothes that
grandma wore" Women looked
just as devastating then to us as
they think they look right now

AAUW Head
Speaker at
Conference

DR.. Susan B. Riley, president of
the American Association of Uni
versity Women, last night hailed
the current trend to question the
value of masculine standards in
the higher education of women.
DR.. Riley spoke on the subject
"What Education Is Of Most
Worth?" at banquet opening the
South Atlantic Regional Confer
ence of the AAUW at the Hotel
SGatler.
Subjects which would be of spe-
cial benefit to women, she sug-
gested, include community service.
training for participation as citi-
zens, international relations (be-
cause of their effect on the home)
and personal enrichment through
the arts.
It was natural enough in the
early days of women's colleges for
the curriculum to follow patterns
prevailing in mems colleges and
universities, she pointed out.
"a minority group always in
herits and emulates the cultural
patterns of the majority" she de-
clared. "And to interpret equal OPP
portunities to mean identical op-
portunities is q common cultural
fallacy."
The assumption that men and
women are Intellectually and
culturally identical is being
challenged today, however. she de-
clared.
It also was being challenged as
far back as 1866, she added, quot
ing from an article which appeared
in November Of that year in Black
woods Magazine.
The writer. a woman. took issue
with the universal sentiment"
that woman is a creature who has
been deeply, fundamentally in
jured by not being q man."
People write about us as If we
were a curious sect, or imperfectly
known species as If we were
q curious tribe in the South Seas"
the article stated In part. This af-
fectation is entirely founded
upon the curious deluSion that we
ought to have been men and that
it is to our unending humiliation
and disadvantage that we are not
men.
But it happens, that is not our
opinion. We are used to being
women. On the whole, strange as
1t may seem, we like it. Equality
of place or of rights is evidently
not the chief thing in our crea-
ton we are two distinct
creatures in this world. Identi-
fication Of the two halves of hui
manity is monstrous as well as
foolish. and we protest that a
woman is a woman, and not al
spoiled and imperfect man."
Nov. more than 80 years later," -
DR.. Riley pointed out, I'VE are
again questioning the acceptance
of the masculine scale Of values
as the human scale and affirm
ing that q woman is q woman
and not a spoiled and imperfect
man."
Returning to the education Of
women, DR.. Riley emphasized
that the ideal curriculum would
provide training for them as per-
sons and as women.

OF Providence when he wrote. go little
town OF Bethlehem, how still we see thee
lie! Above thy deep and dreamless sleep.
the silent stars go by; Yet in thy dark
streets shineth, the Everlasting Light :;
The hopes and fears of all the years are
met in thee tonight
One may read those words of Phillip
Brooks DER and DER before he really
catches the spirit of the writer. But once
you get the spirit of that song, you too
will bear witness that the Christmas spiriA,
still lives.
The Christmas spirit is the spirit of Civ
ing. God so loved the world that He
gave his only begotten Son that whose
ever believeth in Him should not perish
but have everlasting life; John 3:16. The
wise men brought the Christ child preci-
Gus gifts. Christmas is a season of giving.
Most people have caught the spirit of
giving, but they give gifts to everybody
but Christ. Seemingly they forget that it
is Christ's birthday that is being observed.
One might ask, What could I give
Christ as a gift?" When you make some
one happy who cannot return the compli-
ment, you will have done it unto Christ.
When you give yourself to be used for
the advancement of His kingdom and the
betterment of His people, you will have
brought to him a most precious gift We
can, we should, we must give Christ az:
honor and ali glory while we pause to
celebrate the anniversary of His birth.
One of the greatest blessings that the
civilized world enjoys today is the living
spirit of Christmas. 1t makes us forget
self in our eager search for ways and
means to make others happy. 1t helps us
the better to understand the words of the
Christ who teaches, sit is more blessed to
give than to receive" The Christmas
spirit makes all men neighbors and the
sermon on the Mount becomes practic-

The Christmas Spirit Still Lives

The greatest miracle of all ages is that
despite the universal changes of every
thlng that the human race has to deal with
including the many religious codes and
creeds, the Christmas spirit still lives.
In spite OF the commercial abuses sacri-
legloss customs and gross indifference to-
ward the birthday anniversary of the
Saviour of the world, the Christmas
spirit still lives.
No holiday in the whole year religions
or otherwise, is prolonged as long as the
Christmas holidays. Following onlv 30
