To Work Laws In Legislative Meet

unions have remained strong in
those states. fS) The merger OF
AFL and CIO has created an eco
nomic giant which endangers our
business prosperity. Unions use
their power to force up wages even
when increases are not justified
and these costs are passed on to
consumers who cannot afford to
pay them 90 When workers are
compelled to join unions, the dues
and initiation fees are often ex-
orbitant. The average labor union
member pays more than S33 a
year in dues and in many cases
the figure is much higher (10)
Many senators and congressman
support right-to-work legislation
because they feel that unions have
become too powerful and that they
are using their Influence to take
over the operation of political par
ties.
Some arguments against the
Amendment were: ID Many en-
ployers oppose unions so vigorous
ly that unless there is a union shop
it will be possible to frighten
workers and keep them from join
ing a union for fear of losing their
jobs. (2) The man who works is
part of a group and he must ac-
cept rules that govern it. 81 The
very fact of employment carries
with it an obligation to share in
the efforts for better working con-
ditions regarding safety and

Advisory Group Is
Releasing Study
OF School Needs

The West Jefferson Citizens
School Advisory committee has
concluded nearly years work by
presenting their report to the
Board of Education. This report,
made by the group, includes rec
concentrations as to the future
needs of the school district.
The committee was appointed in
March of 1857 by the jefferson Lo-
cal Board of Education, to help
study the future needs of the dis
.trict. Among those who have work
ed with the group over the past
year are: Dave Richeson, Ray Sol
lars, Mrs. Conklin Jackson, Joseph
Hegedus, r. /. Blauser, Mrs. j. d.
Baber, Miss Mary Mooney, How
ard Fisher, Kenneth Coe, Don FL
lott, John Carney and Russell
Stratton.
Mrs. Jack Elliott acted as re-
corder for the group. Supt. Harold
Wilson, Raymon Deacon, president
of the Board of Education and
Board of Education members, Paul
Laferty, Major Merrick, Donald
Bradley, Ralph Parsons and James
Cooke met with the group.
The group utilized many sources
for information and help. They in
vited DR.. Lew Harris, the Execu-
tive Secretary of the Ohio School
Boards Association, to meet with
them at an early meeting. Recent
ly the group met with DR.. Robert
Dimit, Rural Socialogist of the
Ohio State University.
The Board of Education, after
first consideration OF the report
and recommendations expressed
themselves as being highly pleased
with the study and very much i'm
pressed with the sound thinking
put forth by the group. The ma
terial is SO lengthy that it cannot
be discussed in one article, so parts
of the study will be released over
a period of time. The report is con-
sidered so valuable that it was felt
that the public should share this
work.
The first of a series Of articles
will deal with the survey done last
spring about what people think of
their schools: What do you think
of your schools? How does this
compare with what others think ?"

ing the evening, some arguments
both for and against the proposed
amendment to the Ohio Constitu-
ton which would affect labor un-
ion membership, were discussed
Some arguments for the Constitu-
tional Amendment were: I'd The
individual should be free to make
his own choice as to whether or
not he wishes to join labor un-
ion. (2) 1t is an infringement of
the basic liberties of men to re-
quire them to belong to labor
union in order to earn a living.
(3) An individual should have the
moral right to work at any job for
which he is qualified, and which
he can obtain, regardless of wheth-
er or not he belongs to a labor
union. (4) When membership is
compulsory, there are likely to be
abuses of majority rule in the un-
ion. We have had recent evidences
of corruption in such unions as the
teamsters, bakery workers and
laundry workers union. 90 Mem
bership in the union should result
from the free choice of workers
who join because they believe in
the value of the union. 1t is on this
basis that farmers support their
cooperatives and farm organiza-
tions. go Requiring union mem
bership enables single unions to
spread through entire industries
and thus gain monopolistic powers

ed right-to-work laws and labor

Train Steps For
Brief Greetings
BY Parishioners

st. Patrick'S S PariShioners were
the first to welcome Bishop Clar-
ence @. Issenmann, STD, when he
entered his new Diocese Monday.
With Father Edward Reidy leading
the group, many parishioners, pu-
pills of st. Patrick's School and the
Sisters, waited for the train which
brought Bishop Issenmann into the
first parish of his new Diocese.
Bishop Issenmann came through
London Monday on his way to Co.
lumbus and the installation cere-
monies Tuesday on the Feast of
Our Lady of Lourdes. He had been
serving as auxiliary to the Arch
bishop of Cincinnati prior to his
appointment to succeed the late
Bishop Michael j. Ready, who was
Bishop of the Columbus Diocese.
(Highly praised in Church cir
cles, Bishop Issenmann is believed
to be the only Bishop who holds
Doctors Degree in Journalism.
Original plans had not called for
the train carrying the new Bishop
to stop in London, but last minute
arrangements scheduled the stop
here for the Parishioners to greet
their new leader as he entered his
first parish, and for Father Reidy
to board the train enroute to Co.
lumbus and the installation cere-
monies Tuesday.
The q county area which COM
poses the new diocese for Bishop
ISsenmann, reaching south to the
Ohio River and north to Hardin
and Holmes Counties, is the larg-
est diocese, areawise, in Ohio. It
has total Catholic population of
more than 100000 according to the
latest Catholic Directory. There
are 284 priests and 1,046 sisters in
the Diocese. Bishop Issenmann is
the sixth Ordinary in the history
of the 90-year-old diocese.
The official installation program
ends Tuesday evening with a pub
lie reception for Bishop Issenmann
in the Grand Ballroom of the Neil
House in Columbus.
The Catholic Times, in an issue
dedicated to saluting the new lead
er of the diocese, lauded the past
career of the Bishop as one of the
most brilliant in the areas church
history. He has been ordained since
1882, and has been the recipient of
many honors from the Pope in
cluding the ranks of Papal Cham
berlain and Domestic Prelate.
The trip from Cincinnati to Co
lumbus was made by Pennsylvania
Railroad train, and the reception
committee from st. Patrick's Par
ish greeted Bishop Issenmann from
the Main Street Crossing where
the Special Parlor Car was halted
for the crowd.
The local arrangements for the
PENNSYLVANIA Railroad were hand
led by c. J Conrad. local agent.

Children NeedHelp
To Calm Down For
Christmas Season

Many parents dread the coming
of the Christmas season because
their already active children seem
to become more eXuberant.
This is natural since Santa Claus
and hidden packages, as well as
the mad rush of shopping and holi-
day preparations, stimulates a
child's emotions. Sometimes they
are so keyed up they are almost
hysterical.
Child development specialists be-
lieve that by creating a quiet at
mosphere in your home and ex-
planning the joys of the holiday,
you will help prepare your child for
a more peaceful Christmas.
More time should be spent in
getting children ready for a rever-
ent Christmas rather than COM
mercial one. Christmas will be a
joy for the entire family when you
and the children pause to UNDER
stand and share together the true
meaning Of the Christmas message.
Be careful what you tell child
about Santa Claus. Retractions are
difficult to make later.

PICK YULE TREE
That zttA Ho@s ToESa@% Plaes

Pick the Christmas tree to suit
your holiday plan.
If you intend to keep the tree
for only few days, the Norway
spruce has the traditional shape
and good color and is perhaps your
best buy. Its one failing is that it
sheds its needles fairly soon.
Longer-lasting, but more expen-
sive are the balsam fir, Douglas fir
and any of the long-needled pines.
Whichever tree you buy, make
sure it is fresh and not Undertook
dry. Tree experts say to merely
