one. And all that stood be-
tween it and disaster was
Mama's bank account.
Mama made it plain that
the bank account was never
to be touched except in the
direst emergency. There were
plenty of emergencies-in-
ness, accidents, strikes-but
none ever seemed quite dire
enough to require dipping
into the bank account. In
stead, at each setback the
whole family pitched into
money-making schemes-col-
lecting scrap iron, sellin g
cookies, doing odd jobs -un-
til the emergency had been
triumphantly overcome with
the bank account still intact.
It wasn't until after Mama
died that the children dis
covered there wasn't any
bank account and never, had
been. There had never been
enough money for one. But
Mama's elaborate white lie
gave her children a sense of
security while they developed
the muscles that made them
strong.
The saddest spectacle In
the world is the parent who
stands outside juvenile court
and walls, But we tried to
give him everything!"
Everything? A good allow
ance, perhaps. A hot rod,
maybe. But how about a
sense of values? How about
the Joy of earning, the great
growing-up lift Of a dollar
for a job well done? How
about the satisfaction Of
helping the ia mily lick a
problem, the understanding
of work that would have
made him respect the fruits
of the work of others? How
about the inexpressible hap
piness that comes to a boy
who finds he is being treated
like a man?
The m ountain cedar Is
born to wind and sleet and
lives a long, long time. thanks
to its tough core and cling
ing roots. The stately royal
palm is nurtured in warm
sun and tropic breezes. Its
pith is soft. It's roots are
shallow. It can't survive the
hurricane.
Durable are the children
who have been taught to
love the storm. Happy are
the parents Of the young
mountain cedars.

u. S. Business Suffers Penalties

Management Relations Act
for such unfair labor practices
as he may have committed
in the enterprise, except up
to the time that such actual
and permanent closing or
true and bona fide change
in ownership has occurred"
But the National Labor
Relations Board said all this
was "obiter dicta"-extran-
eous opinion - because, in
that same case, the court
happened to order reinstate-
ment by the successor COM
pany of some employees I'M
lawfully discharged by the
predecessor company. In the
Darlington case, however.
there is no successor COM
pany, as the assets have
been sold at auction. NO case
exactly like this one has been
reviewed by the courts.
AS for the instance in which
the regional director of a steel
union in Western New York
insisted that the local union
in a small company maintain
it's wage rates in accordance
with the rates prevailing IN
the big steel companies, this
resulted in a closing Of the
plant. In this case, the COM
pany not only had recognized
the union but had made a
contract with it in 1860 which
was still in effect. Yet, when
most of the members really
wanted to revise that con-
tract to save their jobs, the
national union stepped in
and pressured the local union
into voting against accept
ance of the pay cut. 1t is
reported that a threat was
made to deprive the local
union of certification in the
international union.
So the Buffalo Steel Com
pany went out Of business. Its
45O employees now are out OF
work and the prospects for
unemployment are dim, be-
cause the area already has
TO per cent unemployment,
which is well above the ma
tional average.
That's how the labor-union
monopoly operates today in
America, while European
competitors, which face no
such obstacles, are steadily
sending their products to this
country for sale at lower
prices.

Relations Board--which now
is controlled by Kennedy adj
ministratioh appointees-an-
nounced last Thursday that
Deering Milliken, Inc. one
of the country's largest tex
tile companies, had been
ordered to, assume back-pay
payments in behalf of a
small company in Darlington,
S. c., that it does not own
but which happens to have
in it some individuals who
own some stock in both COM
panies. The payments start
from the time the Darlington
Manufacturing Company
closed down in 1856 through
the present and up to any
future date until the en-
ployes shall find compar-
able" employment.
The board, by a 3-to-2
vote, analysed the reasons
for the shutdown and ruled
that, while some Of the
causes may have been eco
nomic, the fact that there
happened to be a labor dis
pute in which animosity was
displayed by the employer
toward the organizing of a
union superseded all else and
hence justified the imposition
of a penalty in the form of
back pay. No consideration
was given to the company's
legitimate desire to avoid the
higher wage costs that the
union would demand.
The textile company, in
fighting the case, relied on q
decision of the Eighth United
States Circuit Court of APP
peals, evidently believing
that in these days a court
decision is q sacred matter
and presumably must be
obeyed even by governmental
boards. The court had said.
But none Of this can be
taken to mean that an en-
ployer does not have the
absolute right, at all times,
to. permanently close and go
out of business, or to actually
dispose of his business to an
other, for whatever reason he
may choose, whether union

Years ago there was a sort
of left-wing columnist by the
name of Ernie Meyer, who
wrote for one Of the Wis
consin newspapers. He was a
sweet writer, but like many
Of his temperament he lived
in a world of Illustration and
struggle. It was on the day
when his old German moth
er died in her little house
over in Milwaukee that he
wrote his masterpiece.
He ca ptioned it: "She
Tau hit Me to Love the
Storm"
Ernie Meyer described how,
as a child, he was terrified
by thunder and lightning. He
used to hide, trembling. in
his bedroom closet. But his
mother would come for him
and lead him by the hand
down to the front. porch
where the display Of heaven
ly violence could be seen in
full force. And in her simple
way she described the glory Of
a armament that could pro-
duce these things, and what
a privilege it was for puny
man to have his life enriched
by this power, even If there
was danger in it.
Gradually, said Ernie, he
learned to love the storm.
And all the things that make
storms in life-controversy,
reverses, criticism-no longer
terrified him. His mothers
greatest gift was the gift Of
courage.
In this awesome atomic
age where man-made light
ming now dwarfs the thun-
derbolts of nature, what
greater gift can a parent
leave to his child than the
gift of courage? What is
more important than to teach
your child to live with light
ming?
It is popular to be tragic
about what a terrible world
this is in which to bring up
a. child. You listen to some
of the conversations at the
PTA meeting and you'd think
parents were very brave to
have any children at all.

This is hokum. It's a very
fine time to have a child.
Bomb or no bomb, a child's
chances Of reaching his 10th
birthday have never been
brighter. Look at any old
New England graveyard
where one-third Of the head

This is merely a poor time
to raise sissies. These are not

balloon ever goes up it is the
spoiled. the inadequate and
the panic-prone human be-
ing who will have the least
equipment to survive an ele-
mental struggle.
SiSSies had it easier in the
past. The timid man, born
in the year 1900, could have
lived out his life in the tran
quill backwaterS Of a New
England village and never
have witnessed a human
crisis or heard a shot fired
in anger. His grandch HID.
born in 1860, would have
been too young for the Civil
War and too old for World
War I. He could look for
ward to years of collecting
seashells at Rye Beach and
clipping the coupons on 8
per cent railroad bonds.
The modern youngster has
no such assurances. The road
is in the mountains now. It
clings to the precipices and
looks down into the chasms.
The view is swell. The dis
tant vistas are tremendously
exciting. But it's no road for
the timid driver.
The true art of being a
parent these days lies in Civ
ing your child a balanced
diet of security and struggle.
The child must have love,
but not the surfeiting love
that smothers self-reliance.
The child must feel the whip

to the point where it is OPP
pressed and shattered by in
security.

The campaign Tor Con-

to be up in many years is
coming down to a furious
end with much noise aIlu

cipals. But what of that
seeming calm down among
the submerged critical mass
which is the voters?
The thing is rather like an
iceberg in one sense. What is
truly significant is not the

but rather what is happening

Apathy" is a word now
being widely heard. And scat

generally it may not be an
inapplicable word. If so-if
this is actually going to be a

that the Republicans, as gen.
orally the minority party in
terms of registered members,
should be the gamers over
the Democrats.
Heavy voting tends to favor
Democrats; light voting to
favor the r e p ca rs
wherever Republican apathy
is not so marked as Demo-

instance it appears that
apathy is more a Democratic
than a Republican problem.
A new national Gallup Poll
finds that Democratic inter-

it was in 1858 and IA per cent
below what it was in 1854,
Republican interest, on the

are also tricky things; and it

Some day, when there's a
deep depression in America
while the European economy
FORCES ahead, there will be
post-mortems to find out the
why and the wherefore.
Some of the things happen
ing today that are CLOSED
over or ignored will doubtless
be recalled, and maybe a
remedy will then be pre-
scribed. But, as of now, such
principles as "euual protec-
ton Of the law" are being
disregarded and business is
being severely handicapped.
In some instances. enter
prises are being strangled
and forced to close down al
together. Here are a few Of
the practices that reveal glar-
ing inconsistencies in today's
labor-management laws and
in the interpretations given
them by the National Labor
Relations Board:
1. A company that goes out
of business because it thinks
it cannot make ends meet is
penalized by being ordered to
continue to pay wages for
work not being done if some
how the closing down can be
related to a labor dispute.
The obligation" then con-
tinues indefinitely or until the
workers some day find COM
parable" jobs. The big labor
unions, however. with tens
of millions of dollars in their
treasures are not required to
bear any Of this expense.
2. A labor union can con-
duct an unjustified strike and
put a company out of bust
ness but is under no obliga-
ton to reimburse the employ
er for any of his losses.
8. A labor-union executive
for a region or area-with
authority over many local
unions-can nullify the de-
sires of the members of a
local union who may wish to
accept a cut in wages as a
means of helping to keep
their employer in business.
Recent news dispatches
describe instances in which
companies have gone out Of
business due to labor diff
culties.

Republicans, Generally in Minority

for the moderate Democratic
candidate for Governor, John
Connally, in that traditional
ly Democratic State is that
"apathetic Democrats won't
make it to the polls"
The equally respected Cali
fornia Poll finds the Demo-
cratic Governor, Edmund
(Pat) Brown, running three
percentage points ahead OF
Richard Nixon in a cross
section of Californians elig-
ible to vote, but adds a far
more vital statistic.
It says that among those
who are likely actually to
vote, Gov. Brown and Mr..
Nixon are in precise dead
lock-and this in a State
nominally Democratic on a
80-40 ratio. If there is not q
good deal of Democratic
apathy here toward Gov.
Brown, there must be a posi-
tive detection from him Of
considerable meaning.
These two widely separated
examples have much signifi-
canoe. Texas and California
are not only very big and i'm

They also are far enough re-
moved from each other, in
terms both of geography and
of differing political inter-
ests, to suggest that these
can hardly be isolated and
