We worked desperately under

can recognize them in person
and no longer just as blotches
on the wall.
The weaving period is stra-
tegic and important. The child
gauges his security not only
through his stomach and his
senses but also through the af-
lection which he constantly re-
ceives and which is as neces-
sary as bread and water.
Babies just a few months old
can feel so rejected at this
time that they stop eating, get
sick, wither away and die. In
an understaffed orphanage a
high mortality rate forced the
supervisors to invite motherly
volunteers who would come in
daily to give a child two or
three extra hours of affection.
One couple that ! know are
such keen observers that they
decided between themselves
that when one or the other was
involved giving the child need
ed affection and security, even
when it seemed to be just
play, if it was time for dinner,
the free parent would start pre-
pairing the meal and the one
working with the child would
continue to do so. This may
not seem to be a practical rule
but a strong point is involved.
Give a child proper security

is a controversial question.
But the youngster knows that

he needs them. Joining other

time should rather help him
than hurt him.
A child needs a father con-
cept as much as he needs one
of his mother. The concept of
each will differ but one is as
important as the other. So
both parents must then person
ally care for a child, both
should experience putting him
to bed, feeding him, saying
prayers with him, blessing him
with a little sign of the cross,
listening to him, talking to
him even if it means putting
down the daily paper.
Dad is, not to become the
"old man. but some man. Re-
gardless of the occasional lack
of virtue that bedraggles some
parents, the child must be CIV
en- a reverent concept of MON
and Dad" and both parents
must promote this concept and
no sabotage! There is a danger
when a nurse is the one prin-
cipally training a child, that
the child may never get a
truly helpful concept of his
parents. The Russians in the
1920's experimenting with
the state children conclusively
proved that principle.
In a normal parent-child re-
lationship a child loves his
mother as much as his father.
Ask a child, "whose baby are
your" and the answer should
be "Mommy's and Daddy's." If
the child happens to constantly
be one-sided in his affection,
the other parent had better get
moving in a hurry - double
time. The power of a parent!

Presidents Committee
Helps Fair Employment
By FIR. Dennis J. Ceaney

see that the hiring of employ
ees and the making of its
goods are conducted with the
highest moral standards. In
fact the government owes its
citizens exemplary behaviour.
The possibilities of this SEEM
ingly innocuous Executive Or
der can be surveyed by an
analysis of your local industrial
community. How many large
industrial firms do not have
Government contracts or SUBJ
contracts? Those that do are
obligated by the terms of the
contract to equal economic OPP
portunity practices as specified
by the government committee.
THEY ASKED FOR IT
II was over a year ago when
/ casually visited the home Of
a Negro friend. The subject
turned to the Committee on
Government Contracts. We dis
cussed it in terms of the one
large employer in the area who
handles Government contracts
and whom no amount Of gentle
needing about hiring practices
seems to move. Acting through
the Mayors Commission on
Human Relations we wrote to
the president of the company
and asked for a meeting. His
reply was a curt refusal to
meet with us.
He left us no alternative but
to turn to the federal Govern
ment. We submitted our case
to the Presidents Committee.
A thorough investigation was
made. ! never saw the report,
but i do know that shortly
afterwards Negroes were hired.
We would rather have dis
cussed the matter with the
local people than invoke the
aid of the strong arm of the
Government. When such en-
ployers raise a hue and cry
about Federal intervention into
the prerogatives of business,
they should look instead to
themselves. In this case they
asked for It.

One afternoon a group of us
visited the home of a woman
legislator. She had taken a
position against 1t, but she was
kind enough to listen to us.
Among other things she said
the present bill was unfair be-
cause it excluded charitable
and religious groups. / parted
her objection by asking her a
question: would you be OPP
posed to the bill if they were
included?" She cleverly fend-
ed my thrust by answering:
Il would be less opposed"
Our aged and gregarious
state senator argued against
such legislation because some
of the people he saw in the
states capitol pleading for
this type Of bill looked like
communists. If ! remember
rightly, his description of a
communist was someone dark
and swarthy. l must say our
interviews are pleasant mem-
cries, if unrewarding.
With the Presidents Com
mittee on Government Con-
tracts the urgency of FEPC
legislation is no longer para
mount. | suppose there are
those who fume about the Fed
eral Government imposing
more restrictions on industry
with an executive order in an
area where local legislators
did not see fit to act.
The move was not new. Dur
ing World War ii President
Roosevelt set up a similar COM
mittee with the late Bishop
Haas as chairman. Likewise the
move is logical. Uncle Sam is
not only the biggest employer
in the country, but he awards
contracts of fabulous size to
private industry. Every area of
the country has Government
contracts or sub-contracts.
1t is only logical that the
largest employer in the country
and the greatest awarder of
contracts should accept the cor
responding responsibility to
