held. aThe great part OF the
convention was the fact that I
could bring back ideas to other
schools, Mike explained.
.Some councils have their
school elections on voting ma;
chimes. Most Of the counties are
glad to donate them to the school
for this. This really went over
with all the delegates, Mike
said.
"They are also trying to put q
course in school called Leader

One school at the convention
sponsored the pay phones in the
school building. Another rented
q gas station for q day, and made
loads of money. Another good
idea was what they called Slave
Day" The boys auction for girls
to carry their books and polish

money raising when boy who
goes steady wants his own girl,
but his friends are outbidding

"A Family
Divided
Not Good
By MurieI Nissen

DEAR MISS NISSEN: Don't
you agree that parents should
be the ones to correct younger
children, rather than the older
sisters? We have four daughters.
aged II, IL, is and II. Since my
wife and I both work, household
chores are left to the youngsters.
II the younger girls don't do
their share. the older ones mis-
treat them. The Oldest girl has
quite q temper and actually beats
her sisters. When scold her, she.
threatens to leave home.
My wife says I'm not firm
enough, that am favoring the
younger children and that re-
sultant jealousy Is the cause of
much dissension between the
younger and older pair. ]. on the
other hand. think my wife Is too
easy with them. Because her own
childhood was unhappy, she's
determined to give our children
all the things she lacked and. In
consequence, there Is almost no
limit put on their dating, clothing
budgets. or spending money. I
am so upset over this problem
that I'd like to leave home and
find work In another city.
MIR. w. I.
ANSWER: The cause Of your
trouble Is perfectly clear and !
hope your home may yet be
saved from the consequences Of
some very foolish mistakes. Your
wife Is apparently working to
provide the girls with luxuries
they could well do without. What
they need is parental authority
in the home, and that seems to
be nonexiStent. Putting the reins
of household government into the
hands of q 17-year-old girl. who
has a streak of tyranny in her
anyway. is just plain foolhardy.
What can you expect but dis
sension, which viii soon lead to
hatred among the four girls,
then to rebellion. Complete free
dom without supervision is just
about the worst background you
can give q teen-ager.
Your are faced with an emery
ency, Mr.. L., and If you value
your daughters future welfare
at all you'll see that it's met
with now. Your wife should stay
home with the children. At this
point, even a competent subSti-
tute won't do. The girls need the
security of parental discipline.
Your wife must get over these
easy-going ways. Dating privi-
leges must be restricted. spend
ing money must be limited and
clothing budgets must be fol-
lowed.
Your haphazard household
needs complete reorganization;
failure to do SO will quite posi-
bly, result in serious trouble for
your youngsters and many tears
shed by you and their mother
tears that will come too late.

2. Although Central is the
best situated railroad property
in the world, it and its affiliate,

White was transferred, operated

wise. Therefore we expect great
success. The issue will, of course,
be determined finally at the
meeting of the stockholde
scheduled to be held May 26, or
at some adjournment thereof.
Mr.. Young-Answered above.
@. Do You think Central's
dividends can be increased: BY
how much and when?
Mr.. White-Certainly we be-
lieve Central's dividends can be
increased. The whole effort of
management is being directed
toward that goal. However, we
deal in performance and not in
promises.
Mr.. Young-If Central oper-
ated at c. & O.'s rate of return
on capital, it would earn Sill
a share. If it operated at c. &
O.'s expense ratio, it would earn
$12. In 1929, Central paid divi-
dends of So a share. Other rail-
roads are earning more than
they did in 1929. Given last
years level Of traffic, I would
be disappointed if we could not

bring the Central up to c. &
O.'s level of efficiency in five
years. It should be conservative
by that time to pay out so per
cent of these earnings in divi-
dendS.
@. Please state what your
reasons are for the answer to
the previous question.
Mr.. White-The reasons are
obvious to all thoughtful and
wise stockholders.
Mr.. Young-C. IL o. reported
the highest earnings in its his
tory last year. although when we
took charge Is years ago 70 per
cent of its traffic was coal. and
we have since had to contend
with declining coal traffic while
Central's traffic has increased 72
per cent and that of all railroads
112 per cent. What we have
done with c. & o., Nickel Plate
and Pere Marquette we can do
with Central. Since 1947, c. g.
%. has cut its passenger deficit
from $21 million to $14 million.
In the meantime, Central's rose
from $50 million to $50 million.

the stockholders will want to be
sure that their company is man
aged by experienced railroaders
and not one who is a promoter
and speculator and who admits
he is not a railroad man. It will
be as simple as that in the final
showdown.
! Mr.. Young - The material
which will reach shareholders
will contain more than score of
reasons. any one of which could
be persuasive. The most COM
pelling one is to ask the simple
question Of shareholders: Would
you rather have large owners on

nal ownership many of whose in

specific points do you think will

Mr.. White-StockholderS will
take a sober look at the, record
of the current management of
New York Central and realize
IN the past 20 months it has

from the record that Mr.. Young S
ideas failed miserably and at
great cost to the Chesapeake g.

the Central is not likely to pay
more than a So dividend within
five years. This is a clear invi-
tation to the shareholder to
either vote for us or sell his
stock. because an 8 per cent

tainable on many sound rail-
road situations such as G.. & O.

do you consider on your side?
Why?
Mr.. White-The answer to
this question is something that
our adversary would like to know
and I don't propose to disclose
our full strength.
Mr.. Young-Our board will
actually own around 100000
shares as against the 1880
shares all the present directors
were reported as owning in last
years proxy statement. No poll
that we have taken gives us less
than so per cent of the inde-
pendent vote. When we decon-
trolled c. & o. to take control
Of Central. we were convinced
we could win even though the
100000 shares owned by the
c. & o. and trusteed with the
Chase Bank were voted against
us. Now that our group will
vote this stock, we have not the
slightest concern for the result.
