cans to and from foreign our
tries provided them with about all
the traffic they needed.
What the situation called for, the
Department of Commerce decided, was
government supported travel agencies
in the principal cities of the world to
sell the United States to prospective
tourists. But, judging from the COM
plants of many of the tourists, the
delights of travel in the United States
for Just a few dollars have been over
sold.
For example, one of the government
travel agencies in a German city as
sured would-be visitors that they
could tour the United States for S. a
day per person.
The absurdity of such a claim would
be apparent to any American who has
done any travelling in his own coun-
try. According to the American Auto
mobile Association, the cost of travel
ing by car, the cheapest form of trans
portation for a family, averages al
most twice that figure.
PROSPECTIVE tourists also were
told that they would find a room al
most anywhere in the United States
for Sc a night. Not just any room, but,
as a Travel Bureau ad placed through
out Europe explains, a room (which al
most always includes air conditioning
and television, and like as not, a swim
ming pool outside your door,"
One a readily imagine the indig-
nation of a European tourist, relying
o such assurances, when he discovers
that a room such as the ad described
could not be found in most motels-to
say nothing of big city hotels-for
less than $40 to SIS a day.

The people who keep statistics say
that in about half the families of the
United States the first child born is a
girl. This particular bit of information
might be of use some time, if only to
plug a gap in a conversation.
AT ANY RATE Everynan's Fam
lily was statistically correct. Their first
child was a girl. From the moment of
her birth she was a charmer. She was
smiling, cheerful, healthy and respon-
sive. She liked people and they liked
her, as the TV ad has it. She was
clean, docile, obedient and Eve an
ounce of trouble. She was loved by
grandparents, neighbors, teachers and
just everybody.
The parents were proud of her, of
course, but in their inexperience they
sort of accepted this special gift from
heaven as being their due.
They could not quite understand
other parents when they complained
about some of the child rearing prob
lens they had with their offspring.
They lived in their paradise with this
angel from heaven until the second
child was born.
This time it was a boy and again
they were st~atistically correct, as half
the children born into American fami-
lies are boys.
But he was not only a different sex
from his sister, he seemed to be al
most a different breed. He was born
ornery and stubborn with a will of
iron. If mischief couldn't be found, he
would invent it. In time he became the
scourge of the neighborhood in a cute
sort of way.
NEW NEIGHBORS were always
astonished at the contrast. They would
first meet the lovely little girl and
then they would encounter her broth
er, the original model of Dennis, the
Menace. Invariably the reaction would
be the same-"You mean you are her
brother ?"-with an air of disbelief.
The boy had been hearing different
versions of the same comparison bit
almost from the time his shell-like
ears began to distinguish sounds. His
parents were heard to say in more
than one exasperated moment-"Well,
your sister never did that" or 1--WE
never had this trouble with your sis
ter. Always behind it all was the no

Most of the intentions outlined by
Pope John XIII for the Apostleship
OF Prayer for 1862 pertain to the
Ecumenical Council.
If WE MIGHT anticipate some
what, we would like to refer to a
coming missionary intention which is
"That the social doctrine and action
Of the Church may save the unde-
veloped countries from the danger of
atheistic materialism."
One commentary on this inten-
ton makes the obvious remark that
at first glance this intention may
seem unconnected with the preoccupa-
tons of the Council, especially at the
very time the Council will be in ses-
sion.
But the intention is not irrelevant.
1t deals with one of the major points
that involve the salvation of the world
and also of the goals of the Coun-
Gil.

Many tourists lured to our shores by
the recently established United States
Travel Agency are discovering that
the America described in the Agency'S
tourist literature is a never-never land.
ONCE THEY SET foot on Ameri-
can soil they find that New York's
skyline and Niagara Falls look just as
they are pictured in the official travel
folders. But there, they complain, the
correspondence between reality and
the glowing prose of the Travel Agen-
cy's copywriters ends.
The fabulous meals at low prices,
the luxurious hotel rooms at boarding
house rates, the cheap travel. so ap-
pealingly described, simply do not ex-
list.
The Visit the USA" program was
conceived by the Administration as
me way of reversing, in part at least,
the outflow of American dollars which
has been draining the governments
gold reserves.
American tourists last year spent
$2.2 billion dollars outside the United
States for travel, just about twice as
much as tourists from all foreign
countries spent in the United States.
The difference was nearly half of the
acknowledgements deficit piled up
by the United States in 1861.
THE DEPARTMENT of Commerce,
to which the job of promoting tourist
travel in the United States was assign
ed, discovered that, while American
airlines and ship companies exerted
great efforts to induce Americans to
visit abroad they made no serious at
tempt to interest Europeans in visits
to United States. Transporting Ameri-

omy," Mr., Walker revealed that a rls-
ing tendency of labor union members
to reject labor contract terms worked
out by their own negotiators is alarm
ing Federal officials charged with
maintaining the nations industrial
peace.
According to Mr.. Walker, they feel
1t is bound to increase labor-manage-
ment distrust and lead to more and
longer strikes. Increasingly, union and
management negotiatorS will reach an
agreement after hard bargaining only
to have the affected workers -epudiate
the pact and send the union negotia-
tors back to employers with orders to
get more.
Mr.. Walker cites several specific
cases in which union members have
recently repudiated contracts negotiat-
ed by their leaders and have arbitrari-
ly struck for higher wages. One of
these rebellions took place not very
far from the home city of the man
who wrote the letter referred to above.
In this particular case the dispute
was settled only after a long strike
which was costly to the defense effort.
The workers finally accepted a third
agreement after having rejected two
others.
MIR. WALKERS painful public ex-
amples' of rank and file rebellion may
have come as a great surprise to those
who are wont to romanticiZe about the
rank and file at the expense of their
elected representatives. But it came
as no surprise at all to serious stu
dents of labor-management relations.
The latter have known for a long time
that in collective bargaining as well as
in the area of trade union democracy
union members are often less enlight-
ened and less responsible than their
elected representatives.

THE BACKDROP
Tourists lured by n%euer-neuer land
By John C.. O'Brien

Almost lyrical are the descriptions
in the Travel Bureaus folders of the
culinary delights that await the tour
list for not more than So to So a day.
Not drug store sandwiches or cafe
terra blueplates, mind you. No indeed!
"The most tempting dishes on the
MENU" says the prospectus" are often
the less expensive ones - because
they are local specialities like the New
England Holsters"
WHERE, ONE MAY ask, did the
author of that line get the notion that
New England restaurants serve lob
ster or the IS cent ~blueplate special?
AS one who has eaten in a New Eng.
land restaurant recently well knows, a
lobster dinner might be found for So
in a day of hard driving. But in most
places the price would be $3.50 to
$3.50.
A poor tourist who had budgeted So
a day for meals, relying on the Travel
Bureaus estimate, could enjoy a lob
ster dinner only by going without
breakfast and lunch.
Possibly, as a result Of the enticing
propaganda put out by the govern
ment travel bureaus, the first five
months of this year saw an increase
in the number of tourists arriving at
American seaports or air terminals.
Tourism for that period was up about
16 per cent.
But what about next year? Will the
tourist who goes home feeling that he
has been duped ever return? viii he
encourage his friends to come to
America and sample those tempting
dishes that the Travel Bureau de-
scribes as cheap - such as lobster?

THE YARDSTICK
Labor leaders need adequate po,Uer

Many Americans seem TO be of the
opinion that labor leaders as a group
are out of touch with the rank and file
and are moi responsive TO the latter's
needs and interests and or to those Of
the general public.
A reader from the New England
area gave expression TO this opinion in
a recent letter which reads in part as
follows;
THE ARROGANT actions and
words of the labor chiefs in the pres
ent economic situation makes one won
der IL they are really working for the
best interests of the rank and file.
Are they seeking more to keep
their prestige and positions of leader
ship regardless of the real needs Of
the country? In my experience in
years past | found that where the
leadership was closest to the rank and
file in the local, the leadership was
both more responsive to the wishes of
the rank and file and more truly
Christian in its approach TO the many
problems which confront the average
working man.
TOO often national leaders have a
poor appreciation of public relations
because they are too far removed from
the people they are supposed to serve
and from the grass roots opinion SO
necessary for successful leadership"
This letter arrived in Washington
on the very day that the top labor spe-
cialist for the Associated Press, Nor
man Walker, reported in the Washing
ton Evening Star that Federal media
tors are deeply concerned about the
responsibility of many rank and file
union members in current collective
bargaining negotiations.

els in Union Ranks Seen Peril to Econ.

consists, as is indicated by the 1nten-
ton, in the knowledge and application
of the social doctrine of the Church
by Christians.
With the encyclical of Pope John
XIII, Christianity and Social Pro-
gress, the Church possesses a practi-
cal program and a clear and precise
line of action to follow in meeting
the challenges in the undeveloped ma
tons.
ALL OF US should be concerned
that this papal document, which was
so enthusiastically acclaimed when it
was issued, does not lose its voice in
the world. We ought to pray that it
will be better known, studied, explain
ed and put into practice by Catholic
and on-Catholic alike.
The Catholic times. [volume] (Columbus, Ohio) 1951-current, 1962-09-14

The Labor Day Mass preacher at
st. Joseph Cathedral, Monsignor Will
liam Quinn, urged a thorough study
by Catholic men and women of this
monumental encyclical. This is best
done by group study.
Misery throughout the world is a
bad counsellor. It is the soil in which
weeds grow. 1t is something that the
Christian cannot tolerate. ]. is to be
sought out and eliminated as much
as possible, not only overseas but at

EVERYMAN'S FAMILY
Why can't you be
like your sister?
by Father John Knott

ton = why can't you be like your
sister,"
The grandparents on both sides had
been delighted with the granddaugh.
ter and if there had been some COM
ments as to whom she took after it
was mostly in kidding, since there was
enough of her goodness and charm to
be shared by all.
BUT WITH the advent Of the grand.
o the mutual sharing of a joy began
to be displaced by mutual suspicion
about distorted genes on the other
side, which must be responsible for
producing such a character.
Certainly no one on their side of the
fence had eve acted that way. They.
too, joined in the chorus that contin.
ually tit seemed to the boy sang the
variations on the theme of = why
can't you be like your sister,"
Now all this may be slightly exag-
gerated, but it does serve to emphasize
that no two children, even those in
the same family, are ever the same.
Each one of them is a different per-
sonality with different gifts of love
and different needs of being loved.
Each of them is unique and needs
special and unique treatment.
1t must be a bit frustrating for par
ents who had seer one approach work
with one child to see it fail completely
when dealing with another. The temp
tation must be strong to blame the
child-"Why can't you be like your
sister?"-but this accomplishes moth.

THE CHILD has every right to feel
I'm not my sister. Tn me."-and
the parents have the obligation in JUS
tice, if you will, to treat him as some-
one different. If nothing else this
should develop in them some ingen-
ious tricks of the trade to get their
point GRO to this particular individ-
ual human being.
A parents job is not to turn out
uniform copies of themselves but i'm
dividual and unique images of God. IL
one needs a little polishing here and
another there, that is good. A home is
not an assembly line. 1t is a house in
which artistic craftsmen dwell, turn
