Lions Governor
Praises Clayton
Service Record

The Clayton Lions Club had
as guests at their dinner meet
ing at the Wayside Inn, Dis
trict Governor Constant ].
Briggs, New Castle, and his
staff. In his annual visit to the
local service club, the head of
the 80 Lions clubs in Delaware
mentioned his objectives for
District 22-D. Mr.. Briggs told
of the growth of Lions Inter-
national, the worlds largest SER
vice club, with clubs in l0l
countries or geographical loca-
tions in the world, with a total
membership of 590,495 as of
July 81. Last year, 8l8 new
clubs were organized, including
the new one at Townsend. The
speaker reminded the Lions that
the special mission is the pro-
motion of good government and
good citizenship; the develop
ment of civic, educational Soc
ial and moral welfare of the
community and nation, and to
create and foster a spirit of
generous consideration among
the peoples of the world. The
Clayton Lions were commend
ed for their community work
during the past year. Among
the accomplishments cited were:
the support of six hospital beds
to be used in the community,
free to anyone; also, the support
of four wheel chairs and crutch-
es. In addition, a great amount
of welfare work is done for
children in the community. JOS
eph Simpson, president, con-
Quoted the meeting. The invo-
cation was given by Dudley

No Substitutes
For Bargaining,
Labor Executive
Assures Clubmen

81 can see no valid reason to
substitute collective begging
through compulsory arbitration
for collective bargaining" James
j. LaPenta, Jr., vice president,
Delaware Labor Council, told
the Smyrna Lions Club at their
meeting Monday night. He was
introduced by William E. Jones.
The complex and controversial
problems of labor disputes are
now a topic of public discussion
because of the steel strike, he
said, and the collective bung-
ling of the steels negotiators in
the current dispute has revived
this dormant ISSUE" Compul-
sorry arbitration would not be a
desirable substitute for collec-
tive bargaining, he said, noting
that Australia and New Zea-
land have had compulsory arbi-
tration for many years and con-
tinue to have strikes" He point
ed out that courts interpret and
apply laws in individual situa-
tions. There is no legal code
in this country as to how the
income of business should be
distributed between the owners
of capital and labor, and how
much should be set aside for fu-
ture investment" Only a totali-
tartan government can eliminate
strikes and even these govern
ments cannot prevent Slow
downs whose effects may cause
greater losses in production
than complete work stoppages,
he continued. In free society
workers cannot be compelled to
work. what is needed in Amer
lea is the full acceptance of col
lective bargaining as embodied
in our national labor relations
act, he stated in his impassioned
address. Guests at the dinner
meeting included David K.
Fauser, Theodore B. Scudder,
Jr., William Rundell, Mayor
Robert Riddagh, and DR.. George

iday dance will be sponsored

Cub Scout Dens
Get Flag Gifts
From Vets Post

An interesting feature of the
regular monthly meeting of Cub
Scout Pack No. 1876, held at the
Smyrna Elementary School, was
the presentation of an American
flag to each den by Harry w.
Shirley, representing the New
nam-Lee- Urban Post 1901, Vet
Grams of Foreign Wars. The new
forty-nine star flags will be used
in the flag ceremony conducted
at all den meetings, and the
generous gesture by the VFW is
greatly appreciated by the cub
masters and cubs. There were
approximately SIS boys present,
and Edward S. Wilson, Jr., cub
master, was assisted by William
T. Gathright, Jr. and Martin
Moffitt. All future meetings of
the pack will be held at the ele-
mentary school, which has been
made available by action of the
board of education. Meetings of
dens are held either at
the Youth Center or at the home
of the cubs. Eight new registra-
tions were received at the meet
ing. The cub master points out
that there is a need for more
den mothers and assistants. The
of the work with the
cubs is that the program pro-
vides a common ground for par
ent and boy, according to Mr..
Wilson. Projects are carried on
in the home, and the achieve
nents there result in closer ties
with the parents, especially with
he father. When the boys be-
come Boy Scouts, the close ties
are cut with the parents and the
boys achieve the maturity fitting
o their age, the cub master
stated. However, the program of
he cub scouts cannot advance
the help of the parents.
