Wouldn't it be a joke if Mayor Shields did get the “ear” at Harrisburg? ized by the organization it repre sents and signed by the President and secretary, and bear the seal. . We wouldn't say that all newspaper men make good officials, or that all The Union Press-Courier gives its ML ihe advantage of the combined circulation of the. two newspaper men would make good of- largest circulated weeklies 1D el | ficials, but we do believe that Gover- bria Couty and has 5 re and the || nor James picked two sound members erage that os : for his cabinet when he picked E. | major ming ov - Arthur Sweeney, Greensburg editor, Sti to be secretary of welfare, and G.

Nei- | ther can be pushed about by politicians We're Stating “FACTS” When We Say The United Wholesale and Retail Employees of America, which, by the by, is the tenth largest organization | in the CIO group, are busily engaged in negotiations with many of the com- mercial and chain stores in this sec- tion of the state, relative to union scale agreements, etc. The organization is fast becoming a powerful unit in the ranks of organized labor generally. It has so far, taken no stand on legisla- tion affecting some of these stores. ° Which, by the by, in these dread days (to some of the stores) of the Patman bill, and the other bills aim- ed at the chain stores, might help a bit, if the tenth largest CIO union happened to be in the same alley in this regard as the store owners. A satisfied employee (and union, too) usually has the employers interests at heart. ° Leaders of the James Administra- tion are discussing a proposal to sep- arate the State Motor Police into the former State Police and High- way Patrol units, but retaining them under a single command. The pro- posal has considerable merit to it. Major Lynn Adams will head the state policing units, and he had built the former stafe police up to a high standard when he was in command of them, and he did make the state police a decidedly non- polictical unit.. We hope he will con- tinue that feature. ® Moreover, separation would free the State police, consisting of highly train- | ed criminal investigators, with a record of arrests and convictions that even the famed G-Men must envy, from | highway patrol work, for which they | are not trained, and leave them free to police the rural areas of the state. The, Highway Patrol still would be avail- able for road duties, which has al- ways been its specialty. At present both forces are thrown together and perform all types of police duties. The result is that former state policemen are frequently handling traffic duties; while former highway patrelmen are making criminal investigations. And while the record of both is good, a di- vision may be best. ® Cut in Ohio there regular h—I to pay. The new Republican Governor, John W. Bricker, last week dropped 1,047 workers from the state pay- roll, and this week promises to add | another 500 te the total. And all of | these jobs will remain permanently on the “closed” list. They have for the most part, been Democrats who were fired—but they won’t be re- placed by Republicans, or anyone else. Republican legislative leaders feel badly, and they are informing all those seeking jobs, that there is nothing they can do about it. Brick- er’s campaign platform contended there were too many job holders in Ohio, and evidently he’s “doing something about it. Well, relief rolls will go up in Ohio. ® Look it up on the calendar—Last Friday was “Friday, the Thirteenth”— likewise it was the editor’s birthday. Born on a “Friday, the thirteenth,” we do somewhat believe in the “unlucky” aspect of the day—else why would we ever have dabbled in the country news- paper business? * Passing on a couple of days, until January 15th, came the windup of seeing 1938 automobile license plates displayed. This date, too, by law, is the deadline for dog license fags, but there are still lots of dogs run- ning about untagged. If the dog- catcher were to do his duty as the law provides, and impounded, or disposed of the unlicensed canines on January 15th, we would have an irate number of otherwise good cit- izens, who would never think of attempting to pass by on last year’s car-linsense plates after the dead- tine, but who don’t take so much in- terest in the punctuality of having their dogs protected by law. One reason why the state always has so much trouble with dogs, is because they have been lenient in enforcing the letter of the law. Along about next spring or summer the dog law officials will be about, and they will | and both are clean, progressive and ef- | ficient. * Well, boys, the big show is on. The Democrats are now on the way out, and the Republicans are hoping to shortly be on the way “in” to the available jobs in the state highway department, health department and elsewhere. Having nothing person- ally at stake, we'll be content to watch. And we have already been listening—to some Republicans who already are sore—before the gravy is even passed out. * Governor Earle has left office with at least one major move for good, in the regulations made on motorists, re- ducing the maximum speed limit in | the state to 50 miles per hour, and a' consequent drop of 33.3 per cent in fa- tal accidents in 1938 as compared with 1937. Some motorists may think that 50 miles per hour is too slow, but it is fast enough. The stringent penalty of loss of license for 90 days has hit hun- dren of motorists—and the Governor is to be congratulated all the more be- cause no favoritism or “pull” has been instrumental in letting offenders off. * The Pennsylvania Motor Police have figured out that the average person, suddenly faced by glaring headlights is temporarily blinded for 6.7 seconds. It is also estimated that an automobile, driving at the state’s speed limit of 50 miles an hour, would go between 500 and 600 feet during the period of temparary dis- ability—far beyond what the depart- ment believes is the “measure of safety.” A study of about 300 persons frequently invelved in accidents showed that glaring headlights blin- ded them on an average of more than eight seconds—meaning a car would go more than 700 feet guided by a persom unable to see. Thus a headlight reform may be on the way. ® The distance required to stop a ma- chine at fifty miles an hour, police records say, is 243 feet. Tests are made with a machine that flashes a sudden light into the eyes of the human ‘“gui- nea pig”, then confronts him with the figure of a pedestrian. When the per- son in the chair actually sees the hu- | man form, the test is over. Authorities look to the tests as the harbinger of new regulations for headlights, of , which it is believed certain types now | cause a major portion of pedestrian fa- talities in the larger cities. ® The average young man and wo- man don’t need any instructions as to what course to follow to get tied up in matrimony, but this great state of ours thinks that lots of assistance is needed when the honeymoon is over—so now we have announced a course on mariage and its problems to be offered down at Penn State College next year. ° Dr. Kingsley Davis, of the Division of sociology, will be the chief instruc- tor in the matrimonial class, which will be answered in a course limited to seniors and juniors. Among other things, students will be given pointers on how to manage a family budget; emotional aspects of material adjust- ment;' the relation between courtship adjustment and adjustment after mar- riage; the cost of children, and the parents’ duties in rearing children. A JUMBLE Whoever tries to get a piece of legis- lation through the present session of the state senate will find his job cut out for him. This will apply whether the lobbyist—and all persons who seek to push or block legislation essential- ly are lobbyists—be it Governor Ar- thur H. James, a member of the sen- ate, an oil stock promoter, a banker, a communist, or a labor unionist. The Senate gave a demonstration of what may happen on the day it organized— and the situation hasn't cleared any since. The senate really is divided in- to more blocks than two. Before the session is well advanced there may be half a dozen. The line-ups are not at all likely to hold from day to day, and perhaps not even from hour to hour. There will be political factions, ec- onomic factions, Administration and warn lots of folks they are coming. Even at that late date there will be some who have not yet put a 1939 tag on their camines. ° Since it's licenses we're talking of, arti-Administration factions, factions based on personal likes and dislikes, even factions developed by trading. The political philosophies and the methods of operating run the full ga- mut in this session of the senate.
