favors bigger government at
the expense of individual

it payes the way for social

logical conclusion from his
remarks was that his sect aims
to form all American Negroes
into an anti-white army.
THIS PARTICULAR SECT
Of Negro Moslems has been
existing for some years in
New York. They probably
number no more than 5000 at
most and / doubt that they
will make much progress from
now on. Their violence at
tracts only the malcontents.

our eyes on the other Mos

They are making undramatic
but substantial gains, chiefly
among the Negroes. in Africa,

full. The seriousness would
depend on the seriousness Of
the danger of health or to
life. To remove a real deform-
atory or the result of an acct
dent by plastic surgery is not
only permissible but admir-
able. Beauty is a reflection of
God; if the means used are
not seriously dangerous to
health or life there seems no
moral problem at all. If the
surgery is merely to follow a
whim or a fad there could be
sin involved, depending again
on the risk involved.
@, Could God make q squar-
ed circle or . shree-Year.old
calf in three minutes?
A. God can do or make
anything. A squared circle is
a trick of words, a logical alb
surdity. When we define a cir
Gle we establish certain alb
stract qualities. Ii we make it
square we establish other
contradictory qualities.
II is as if we draw q circle
and then erase it and then
draw the square. A square cir
Gle is not an idea lin any sci
entiflc or logical sense) and
it is not a thing. 1t is a mis-
use usually a joke of words.
God can make a calf or any
living thing at any stage in
any length of time. Naturally
the three-year-old calf would
not have lived for three
years. God is not bound by
time anyhow.

nal. for example, says that Mr..
Goldberg's proposal is out
moded and misses the point
of labor's real interests in to-
days economic world"
An occasional critic has
even gone so far as to say
rather cynically, it seems to
me-that Mr.. Goldberg, in ad-
vocating the establishment of
a National Council, is merely
trying to. bail the labor
movement out, so to speak.
The reasoning behind this
minority point of view is that
the membership of the pro-
posed Council would allegedly
be weighted in favor of the
unions and therefore could be
counted upon to promate la
boris interest at the expense
of management and the pub
lie.
BY AND LARGE, however,
public reaction to Mr.. Gold
berg's proposal has been
rather favorable, and at least
one prominent spokesman for
American m~anagement-Mr.
c. R. Cox, president of the
Kennecott Copper Company
has stated that the proposal
"has merit and, along with
others, should be given care

Mr.. Cox represents the ma

ers we should remember the
following: they have a ire
mendous surge of energy and
activity, not only in sports
but also in mental and emo
tional affairs. Every new abil-
ity carries with it an urge and
impulse to be exercised. They
oyerwhelm you with their en-
ergy.
The teen-ager's lack of ex-
perience often makes him
careless with regard to his own
safety, not only in physical but
also in moral matters--so he
is often reckless. He or she
experiences a keen interest in
the opposite sex as a result
of those fresh, intense new
feelings.
THE ADoLEscENT's inter-
ests differ from the adults in
this area, not only because of
the novelty of sex feelings,
but also because of the diff
ference of experience which
usually separates the two gen
erationS. The desire to love
and be loved is also felt more
intensely by the teen-ager
than the adult because of q
feeling of insecurity, the feel
ing of being misunderstood,
of loneliness and of social
consciousness.
These factors intensity the
need for friends and social
contacts. Therefore. the teen
ayers great interest in par
ties, crowds, dates, dancing,
personal appearance and ro-
mantle themes in entertain
ment.

Did ST. Patrick Live

A. One OF the best sources

lists the various source books
on the saint.
Referred to is "St. Patrick,

On several occasions
during the past few years
Secretary of Labor Arthur
Goldberg has proposed
that the government es-
tabllsh a National Council of
Labor Management Advisers
drawn from business, unions
and the public.
SUCH A COUNCIL, as en-
visaged by Mr.. Goldberg,
would not have any political
or legislative functions nor
would it interfere with estab-
lished methods of collective
bargaining or infringe on
the functions of either labor
or management. The Council
would recommend programs
to encourage economic
growth. would consider the
problems arising from auto
nation, and would assist in
defining the roles of manage
ment, labor and government
in bringing about full produc-
ton and full employment.
The last time MIR. Goldberg
made this proposal was in a
speech delivered on Deem
Der z, 1860, at the annual
Congress of American Indus
try sponsored by the National
Association of Manufacturers.
At that time he was still
speaking as a private citizen.
