Republican ladies' received, at
their public meeting in Helena last
Saturday afternoon one Dorothy
Engledow, a twenty-one year old girl
who came to the public tea equipped
with certain labor literature, albeit
o-Murray, and paper sack con-
tanning supply of dog biscuits.
They figuratively, and almost lit
orally, tore a dedicated infant in the
political world, limb from limb.
So frustrated about someone naive
enough to appear in the area of
meeting advertised as public by
Republicans, with Murray litera-
ture, the Republicans completely lost
their heads.
The righteousness of the fiendish
attitude of grown republican men and
women could better be understood
by those who know Dorothy, who
stands less than five feet tall and
does not even look her p years.
Republicans used their wiles to
'seduce" her to RepubGcanism by
tearing up her literature and throw
ing it at her while the tea she was
told she might drink in the outside
corridor spilled, as she defended the
papers in her arms.
The gentle" Republican "ladies"

Everyone who opposes Republicans
is either ignorant, subversive, mad
or deluded, and the charges are all
inclusive.
In the final analysis the only issue
that comes out of the entire cam
paign is that of POWER. Political
POWER.
Since the advent of Adlai Steven
son the Democrats have carried on
an unusually high level type of cam
paigning, trying to bring the prob
lens of government down to the
people, but the counter to all of that
has been communism"
In a time of our greatest prosper
ity (1952) America went strongly
conservative at the ballot box. The
returns of 1854 are going to bring
forth copious material from the poll
teal analysts.
1854 has not been as interesting a
political year as it could have been,
but saddest of all it was lacking in
daring and Imagination, qualities that
must be encouraged if we go forward
as the great nation we must continue
to be.
Our annual political and public
opinion poll at the Farmers Union
convention this year probably didn't
prove" anything, but it was inter
esting anyhow.
The results on the top candidates
we're overwhelmingly Democratic. Of
about 400 votes cast there were only
three straight Republican ballots.
Phis was expected and signifies little
IS the returns were the same in 1852,
except perhaps the consistency of
Farmers Union people to their prin-
.iples.
IS people said they voted for Eli
enhower in 1952-many didn't say
would do it again, and others
would vote for a Republican presi-
lent.
la said they would like to vote
or Adlai Stevenson in 1856.
II would like to vote for Kefauver
nd 60 expressed a desire to vote
or Wayne Morse in 1856. There
yere a number of multiple choice
nd write-ins.
More interesting was the attitude
these people on the railroad and
ublic service commission races. For
ne six year term (Middleton-Davis)
did not vote at all. For the un-
xpired term (Smith-Hazelbaker)
go cast no vote, and in the State
race 300 failed to vote.

A CiIy's Appreciation

On each crumbing brick OF ST. Francis Hos
pital there could be inscribed an appreciation OF
services performed within its aged walls. On hun
dreds OF bricks could be carved the names and
kindnesses OF the charitable Sisters of the Poor
of St. Francis
Other hundreds would be consumed IN listing
The names Of medical students who developed into
skilled physicians and surgeons from training receN-
ed at this oldest of Columbus hospitals. Still more
hundreds would carry the names OF young women
in white-the nurses-the angels of mercy who
we're so we'll trained for their lfe's work of minis
tering TO the sick and dying,
But The majority of these decaying bricks turn
ed memorials, would be consumed IN engraving the
kind deeds that were showered on all who sought
help at ST. Francis Hospital.
Neither station in life, race, color or creed
was taken into consideration when the need for
service 10 mankind was evident Into St Francis
and the capable hands of sisters doctors and nurses
went the rich and the poor, the young and the
aged and they we're helped to the fullest extent
that available facilities and Christianity afforded
During its nearcentury of operation, ST Fran
els Hospital earned the reputation of not turning
anyone away who needed help Our most reputable
citizens and most notorious underworld hoodnms
we're among the thousands that ST. Francis fought
to keep alive the spark of life.
It's service was not confined to the restoration
Of torn and sick bodies Many will remember the
soup lines that operated 10 fill hungry stomachs OF
depressed, unemployed persons.
Because il operates as charity hospital, some
persons Of unlimited funds may have been reluct
ant TO be confined there a patient The only
thing needed to Danish such thoughts was visit
to St Francis The fire modern facilities and the
consideratc. kind and humanitarian treatment af
forded each patient dispelled such thoughts
When this honored landmark closes its doors
on June 80 Of next year il will be sad day for
the entire community ST. Francis Hospital is in
a position where il cannot expand, il is having ez
treme difficulty meeting its financial obligations
mostly because Of its generous charitable work.
The only heartening aspect of the pending clos
inr is that all Of St Francis is not 10 he lost The
heart Of the insttution--the kindly Sisters of ST..
Francis some OF the nurses, doctors and others,
plus facilities-wiil merge with the expanding st.
Anthonys Hospital
Even with ST. Francis in operation, the Greater
Columbus community is considerably behind what is
considered minimum standards with respect to hos
pital facilities Without it the shortage will be felt
even more.
There arc no adequate words of thanks to ex-
press the feeling of community for the heartfelt
services rendered by ST Francis HOSPITAL The Sis
ers Of st Francis perform their life's work not
for money not for personal fame, but for the
glory Of God Our community is losing great
friend and stands humble in appreciation Of un
matched services.

ter of American life. This makes
it incumbent upon patriotic COM
munity leaders to do all that
they can about each one of them.
There is no doubt as to how
the Communists intend to pro-
ceed in their try at establishing
a wider beachhead in our schools
and colleges. They propose, as
the Daily Worker tells them to
do, to raise a huge outery against
the overcrowding in many
schools and against the low pay
for teachers in certain areas.
Once more, they are champion
ing those reforms" aUhich Stain

screen for their illegal activities.
A positive and sharp response
is called for by those who wish
to save education from still fur
ther subversive infiltration.
Positive Measures
Fortunately for those alert in
opposition to our internal enc
mics. the concealed Communists
pushing these reforms" cannot
long remain content with merely
doing that. AS a matter of disci-
pline, they will be ordered to

ton against certain difficulties

The September 18 issue of AMERICA reported
that at the four-day Child Welfare Congress held

tended by more than 400 delegates from "a coun-
tries Or. Juliette Fauve-Boutonier, professor OF
psychology at Strasbourg University, France, showed
how the development Of children taken away from
their families at early age was retarded she

for child to be brought up by one parent or even
in bad family rather than outside it altogether
Even, it would seem in child-care institution"
The policy of keeping children with their own
family or when that is impossible, with substitute
family. finds many adherents in our own country
among those who have experience in child welfare
work Granted that many children need the training
and care that only be given in an institution the
emphasis is more and on family care for
children
In Ohio there is long tradition Of institutional
care for children that is only slowly being changed
TO emphasize the fact that for the good OF the child
family care is best.
Teachers pastors, judges and other professional
people, as well as parents themselves should keep
in mind that the place for the child is his own
home Not only normal children, but crippled chill
dren and handicapped children, as well, need their
own parents and help should be given to guide
and encourage parents to care for them well.

qualities of good parents.

work in any community can be
detected and offset.
Positive measures are the best
patriotic reply that can be made.
Community leaders can lend
themselves, as they have in the
past, to improving the facilities
of the schools where such is
needed. They can, along with
these steps, move positively
against the Communist line-by
advancing in local organizations
the Jenner-McCarran resolution
for breaking off relations with
Soviet Russia; by championing
an expansion of Congressional
inquiries by the committees
chaired by Senators Jenner and
Mccarthy and Congressman
Velde; by exposing the folly of
peaceful coexistence" and rec
ognition of Red China.
Stock Local Library
They can do even more than
that--following the lead of the
American Legion post in Scars
dale, N,Y.-by presenting a copy
of my textbook on the Techni-
queS Of Communism to the high
school and in donating an anti
Communist book each month TO
the local school or public library.
The sad lack of such books on
many reading lists for the stu
dents of colleges and high
schools is one of the greatest
current aids to the Soviet fifth
column in the United States.
1t may seem strange at first
blush to learn that the Commun-
lists are preparing themselves for
renewed penetration of educa-
ton and allied fields by an act
which seems very much like bit
ing the hand that feeds them. In

repeatedly that the widespread

olics themselves, and they have
carried it forward at an ever
increasing pace, slowing only for
world wars and the great depres-
sion. For decades they've met
this as an extra cost, over and
above what all Americans were
bearing.
But now, the nations Catho-
lies are faced with some hard
facts. First of all, with even the
present three-million-plus enroll
ment, the parochial schools are
full to overfloWing. Secondly, say
the experts, these millions rep
resent less than half the Catholic
school age children. Part of the
task ahead is to make room for
the other half, now perforce at
tending public schools. To build
and expand just so the present
six and one-half million could
find place is a prospect almost
overwhelming. But even that
doesn't represent the true dimen-
sions of the problem.
Actually, the number of school
age children will increase with
each year until 1860. And this
will happen regardless of what
happens to the country's birth
rate from now on. The children
who will be Of school age for
the next six or seven school
years have already been born.
We know how many of them
there are and just when each
group will be coming to school.

w SH INGTON - Counting

for this falls school opening
went on all through last year
and earlier. But when the. bell
rang in September and youth
from the pigtail set to the upper
bracket of crew cuts and FLAT
tops" actually crowded through
the school doors, two things hap
pened.
First of all, some of the en-
rollment estimates turn out to
have been too low. People are
people and they move from one
district to another. Other fac
tors enter in, too, and there are
more faces at some schools than
could have been planned for.
But tha-second thing that hap
pened is that the re-opening of
schools gave us sudden new
look at our school problem. Dur
ing July and August the seam
bursting enrollments to come
were mere statistics. Now they
take on some life - you might
even say some youthful vigor.
Now Johnny has 10 find a place

not in any way imply that one
is at the service of the other"
We must accept labor unions
as a necessary part of our econ
omy. Were it not for labor I'M
ions, many OF our industries
would not be in such excellent
shape Where would the garment
industry be without its unions?
Thanks to its unions, the indus
try enjoys stability and prosper
ity. In our plants, our warehouse
and clerical employees are or
ganized. The warehouse and cler-
ical unions promote the welfare
of our employees. But they help
US too. They have on many oc-
casions assisted us in getting our
viewpoint better understood by
State and Federal authorities.
These AT of L unions have en-
couraged workers to increase
productivity and improve the
competitive condition of our
plants. Interestingly enough, the
greatest pressure for more
complete mechanization of our
plants has come from labor and
not from management. AS one
of our shop stewards said, 'the
greater the productivity, the
greater the profits, the greater
the profits the more secure our
jobs and the grePter the wages"
Take Initiative Now
In the same address the Holy
Father referred to the "occu-
pational organization" of indus
try, so ardently desired by Pope
Plus xI. According to the Holy
Father, Nothing indeed appear
ed to him Pius KID more suited
to bring economic liberalism un-
der control" than the enactment
of statute which would set up
such an occupationaI organiza-
tion.
If we are to have such Industry
Councils in the United States,
the best way to get them is by
taking the initiative now, not
wait for Congress to pass laws.
Employers organizations can do
a great deal to popularize and
develop the idea of the Industry
Council plan.
One of the things we have in
our plants is industry or plant
councils. These councils were or
ganized with the consent of our
unions. They do not consider
wage questions or hours. They
give our employees more direct
participation and a bitter under
standing of management. Shop
stewards meet with management
representatives to discuss mutual
and company problems. We find
out how workers feel and what
their thoughts are; they obtain
a better appreciation of manage
ment policies. This is the way il
should be.
