The President said it would be

IMAGINARY EEARS7
Many neutral observers
have been of the opinion all
along hat both labor and
m a n a & e ment were taking
themselves too seriously in
this highly emotional debate.
They have contended that the
fears Of labor and the hopes
OF employers with regard to
the impact of right.to-work
legislation are more imaginary
than real.
/ myself have tentatively ex-
pressed this opinion more
than once, publicly as well as
privately, to groups of employ
er and union representatives.
Their reaction was generally
rather negative. Both groups,
/ found, were sincerely con-
WINGED that time would even
tually prove that they were
right. And since there were

the impact of right-to-work
legislation in any given state
who was to contradict them?
The situation al the present
time, however, is somewhat
different. A recognized labor
economist, Professor Frederic
Meyers of the University of
Texas, has recently done some
extensive research on the inn
pact of right-to-work legisla-
ton in the Lone Star State.
The results of his research
were published a few weeks
ago in a 46-page booklet en-
titled Right To Work" In
Practice, which / recommend
very highly as a thoroughly
objective study on a contro-
versial subject. Single copies

posals ARE of much less inn

unconscious and died a short time later.
The c~onsoling aspect of this tragedy
was that when Mr.. Wunderlin was lifted
from the street his Rosary was found
in his hand. 1t was broken to be sure,
but it was there and we can hopefully
assume that his last words on earth
were Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray
for us sinners, now and at the hour of
our death. Amen"
Monsignor Burnley spoke to the liv-
ing when he urged frequent recitation
of the Rosary so that the Rosary will not
be placed in our hands in the coffin as
an empty symbol, but as a sign of faith
and devotion to our Mother.

TIME - THE THIEF
One little bride found a job
as typist to help with the gen
eral finances of her student
husband. He was busy burying
himself in his books. For
more than three years they
spent less than three hours a
day together except for attend
ing Church and an occasional
party. A year after this hus-
band became a doctor. he con-
fessed that he no longer loved
his wife. "She seemed to be a
different girl from the one
he had married"
Actually He had changed
and not she. Her tipping had
made her appear dull and rov-
tine. He had other kinds OF
mental and social stimulation.
He was using her. perhaps un-
consciously, as a ste p ping
stone TO professional Sue
cess. II is tragic that they ii.

distressing that with some
thought and planning this sit
uation might have been avoid
ed. Maybe she should have
taken more interest in his
work. She could have read
some Of the popular articles
or medical discoveries. She
might even have taken . few
classes at school.
He could have found more
mutual friends TO indirectly
help lift her. He could have
later aided her to ''catch up"
if he had shown patience and
encouragement. No, Jules, be-

A. In the Anglican and
Episcopal Church in recent
years there has been a renew

upon the minister's use of the
ancient formulas and of mod

few years another custom has

you refer to as "the ministry
of healing" 1t consists Of
something like a retreat, a
time in which a select group
of the spiritual elect with
draw from the world in prayer
and invoke Gods healing pow
err upon the sick. Sometimes
they impose hands upon them
but the idea does not seem to
be a claim to miraculous pow
ers but to humble prayers. In
the early Church Christians
were endowed with certain
miraculous powers which aid

Church. They are described at
length in the 18th chapter of

right-to-work legislation, but
for reasons of his own-rea-

opposition genera ally high

is to say, he is opposed TO it,
not because he thinks it will
destroy unions, but rather be-
