Penn Alps is not primarily Res

refused because not enough of the

During the past period, January
to June, the Oakland area was
only nine pints short of its goal,
so that it was not dropped from
the list, but placed on special
list where blood would still be
when the need was acute,
if the center had it to give.
All emergency calls are extra

out that during the past year
numerous emergency calls from
the local hospital had been cared

Is Your Name
TASKER?
Do YOU know that:

TaSker, all old and honorcd sur
name, is principally of English
and Scottish origins. According to
most authorities on nomenclature,
it was bestowed, when surnamcs
first came into vogue, upon those
who worked, or were paid, by the
task or piece. However, there arc
some who say in its Scottish as
pect, Tasker was applied to those
who were employed IN agriculture
as threshers or rcapcrs.
Jonathan Tasker served as a
private in the New Hampshire
troops during the Revolutionary
War. He died in Bartlett, N. H. in
1906.

AS we take a look at our overall
economy, we can see many organ
lied groups that can serve as unity
ing influences. Farm organizations
and cooperatives, labor unions,
, trade and manufacturing associa-
tionS must take the long view of
what will serve the common in
terest, rather than the short view
of an immediate selfish advan-
tage. Newspapers especially the
grass-roots Weeklies), trade papers,
association journals, radio and
television; all these can be educa-
tional forces to drive home the
verities of mutual interest and the
power which derives from coopcra-
tive effort.
Today we find the farmers
clamoring for high prices for
farm products while complaining
about high wages paid to their
best costumcrs-industrial work
crs; we see labor leaders con-
tending for higher and higher
wages, or restrictive arrange
mentS which boost manufacturing
costs to uneconomic levels; we
witness employers who seek high
prices or high profits while pay
ing subnormal wages All these
certainly need education as to
where, in the final ANALYSIS, their
best interests lie. Particularly, do
they need to learn the lesson that
class legislation obtained by the
efforts of pressure groups, with
a single eye to their own immedi-
ate advantage, is the most danger
Gus solution to any or all of the
nations economic problems.
Now, those of us who believe in
our American Capitalistic System
of Free Enterprise, who are I'M
willing to cooperate in the plan
ming for our common good must
not be too critical of Government
if ii undertakes, as it is doing
more and more, to do our planning
for us. If VIC cannot settle our own
disputes, we certainly are in no
position to say to Uncle Sam,
Hands Off" Much as We may
decry government mcddling, gov
eminent rcdtape, government rules
and government regulations, those
unwelcomc things are inevitable,
unless the warning factions in our
economy declare a moratorium on
strife and consolidate their forces.
Our business friend had this to
say in concluding his comments:
I'm times Of war, we sent our
boys and girls abroad to fight for
democracy. They believed that
America was a country worth
fighting for. We must now, prove
to those soldiers, sailors, and air
men that AMERICA is A COUN-
TRY WORTH LIVING FOR. That
can only be accomplished by all
segmentS of our economy work
ing as a team"

The American Way

| EDITORS NOTE: George Peck is
Honorary Chairman of the Lay
mans National Committee, sponsor
of National Sunday School and
Bible Weeks.)
A reader has written this col
umnist, mildly scolding him, be-
cause, as he puts it, You have
the bad habit of quoting big bust
ncssmen SO frequently in your
column"
His accusation is true. We do
quote our top executives Of indus
try and business quite frequently.
But while pleading guilty, we
have no apology to offer for SO
doing. And why is our head I'M
bowed? The answer is quite SIM
pie:
When we have need of medical
attention, we consult physi-
clan; if a tooth is aching, to a
dentist we go for surcease; when
confronted with a legal problem,
we seek out a lawyer; when in
need of spiritual advice, we visit
a minister, etc, etc In each case
man is selected who is an eX-
pert in his field, a man who has
studied his particular profession
and successfully practiced it.
BY the same token, when bust
ness advice is required, isn't it
reasonable to consult an expert
in that profession or calling?
With few exceptions, the men
who are at the top of industry, or
banking, or business have reached
that cmincncc through toll, study,
application and ability They
know the ropes" because they
climbed up them. Therefore, whose
opinion can be more valuable than
that of man who speaks from
a background of successful cX-
perience and achievement?
And SO, at the risk of further
offending our critic, we would
like to pass on some comments
made to us recently by one of the
nations top executives who is
outstanding in his particular
sphere of business activity. With
becoming modesty, he has asked
that his name not be publicizcd
This particular businessman Vir-
tually lifted himself by his own
boot straps-he climbed from no.
where to the prominent position
he now holds.
The burden of his comments
was on the necessity of the sew
Cral component groups in our
economy working together, rather
than fighting each other, which,
unfortunately IL lOO OlICH lHC CdSc.
He pointed out that the founda-
ton of Americas economy will be
solid and secure only if agricul-
turc, industry and labor cooperate
to their mutual advantage. He
maintains that there can be no
tug-of-War between them, each
striving for selfish advantage al
the expense of the others, if this
nation is to achieve the optimum
standard of living for all of its
citizens. in a tug-ofWar," he said,
the strength on one side cancels
an equal amount of strength on
the other side. Teamwork is vital
ly necessary, for in team,
strength is added to strength and
the pull is doubled or tripled."
He is so right in that statement.

ject of foreign trade and tariffs
No great change in the present
program is expected.
Congress may make a change In
the Sugar Act which now guaran-
tees Cuba about a third of the
U. S. market at prices above
world-market prices.
Foreign Aid And Nato-The
Foreign Aid Program, which | pre-
fer to call the Mutual Security
Program, will be the whipping
boy" again in this session. 1t
seems that some of the lawmakers
who do not want to save money on
anything else get very saving
when foreign aid is mentioned. 1t
has been evident to me for long
time that for each dollar we spend
on so-callcd foreign aid we save
several dollars on defense. My re-
cent tour of military installations
in Europe brought further evil
dcncc of this truth. | believe that
despite all the oratory and man
euvering to cut foreign aid, right
will prevail and the program will
be continued about as it is now.
Defense Preparedness We
must face up to our defense pre-
paredness questions. If our dc
Tense efforts are to continue apacc,
then where should emphasis be
placed? This is of special inter
est to me as | am member of
the Senate Armed Services Com
mittcc. There is growing opinion
that we must prepare for So-callcd
brush-firc wars, rather than pre-
pare exclusively for possible all
out nuclCar war. Tho argument is
that neither side would start an
about nuclcar war, with appalling
consequences of possible total de-
struction on both sides, but that
the enemy might venture brush
fire warfare for territorial gains
here and there.
Space Exploration We do not
know yet what part space cXplora-
ton may play in national security,
but whether for defense or for
peaceful purposes we must decide
what priority space exploration
activities should be given among
the several demands for the use
of Federal resources.
The Time For DccisionS-Thesc
arc some questions that must be
answered.
Thoughtful men and women are
sobercd by the grave confusion in
world affairs, and decisions must
be reached. In this, we are aided
by deep-rooted principles.
Freedom, the right to private
property, and the ideal of eXalt-
ing and cnriching the individual
in contrast to the state are cher
ished principles of this Republic
We are heirs to costly bgacy.
