- HE expression "Oh,
what a relief" has
been said by many
people many times
- since Tuesday. 1t
was life giving to have the
temperature come down from
it's high pitch and bring with
ii the humidity. that some OF
the time almost reached the
saturation point. Temporary
relief could be gotten from
a visit to the beach or to the
V. r. w. swimming pool, but
that was soon forgotten when
home was reached and the
"heat' turned on again. 1t was
interesting to know that the
Red Cross swimming courses
attracted two hundred and ten
enrolIees at the pool and af-
forded the opportunity for
seven to become Junior Life
Savers. Some of the v. F. w.
members helped with the swim
ming and the result was fifty
four beginners certificates.
twenty-five intermediate cards
end two met the requirements
for advanced swimmers. This
was done under the watchful
eye of j. Milton Meyer. SWIM
ming has become a part of the
liberal education that every
child now receives and there
is no more important phase of
growing up than to be taught
how to swim.

Senate Cloakroom
By J. GLENN BEALL
United States Senator from
Maryland

Having established condition OF
recorl-high employment, our Gov
eminent finds itself today in the
position of a man who has bought
a new car or a mother who has
given birth to a baby
The shiny automobile might
easily be the talk of onvious neigh
bors But beneath its hood there
are probably mechanical bugs
which must be adjusted to insure
smooth performance.
In like manner, the new arrival
in the maternity ward is a bundle
of infant charm-but a new prob
lem, too.
As far as our country is con
cerned, the present employment
record of about 100000 persons
is, in a manner of speaking, its own
new car or baby. We wouldn't think
for a moment of changing the stu
alton, but we do have to consider
our additional difficulties and re-
sponsibilities.
Experience has shown that one
area of possible friction which
needs our most sympathetic care
is the field of labor-management
relationships.
Troubles in this sphere frequent
ly appear to be localized, but there
is a basic connection between the
problems of railroadmen in West
ern Maryland, truckers on the
Eastern Shore, and members of in
dustry in other parts of our State
Fundamentally, the issues are al
so worldwide.
We have already done much in
this country to promote a healthy
labor situation, and the results are
SO apparent that even detractors
have been forced TO concede that
they, too. are enjoying good-times
Figures from the Department of
Labor show that the country is en-
joying the most prosperous year in
its history
Employment has hit an all-timc
high Average wages of workers
are the best ever
Since last December, consumer
prices have been relatively stable
Still, however, we have the po-
tential problems which come with
new cars, babies or prosperity.
In an effort to get more eX-
banded insight into such matters
will sail this week from New
York for a conference of the Inter-
national Labor Organization in
Geneva, Switzerland.
My attendance as an observer
will permit me to learn first-hand
how ether nations are attempting
to improve working conditions
through plans which might also be
applicable here.
During the month I Will be away
many projects which have been
close to the administration will be
developing.
