Young Family » (Continued from Page 1-A) Side Trip Whenever possible, made side trips, among which were an early visit to Yellowstone, and am. exploration of the Lewis and Clark caves, At Yellowstone, one of the well- regimented bears, slick as confidence men at coaxing food out of passers- by in cars, put his paws on the hood of the car, and looked dolefully at - the prospects inside. Little John said, “He’s trying to tell us to pre- vent forest fires.” The family had pictures of Old Faithful, the famous geyser, shoot- ing a stream of water into the air. At the caves, the Youngs walked a passageway into the ground that stretched 500 steps downward, and another 100 back up. Lewis and Clark Caves were not discovered by the explorers for whom they are named, but by two cowboys who were huntimg deer in the area. Ac- cess to the top of the mountain where the caves are found is by cable car. Few Mishaps Considering the number of peo- ple, many at an accident prone age, and it being the family’s first trail-4 er experience, plus the formidable number of miles traveled, mishaps were few. At one point, the axel on the trailer broké, and a few more minor “bugs” were found in the rig. There was only one flat tire. Among the children there was one eye infect- ion amd four cases of strep throat. The trip home was straight and to the point. As Mike said: “We just ‘wanted to get home.” Not long after the family | Services Friday For [ra Alonzo Carle, 59 Ira Alonzo Carle, 55, Demunds | Road, died Tuesday night at Nesbitt | Hospital where he had been ad- mitted several weeks ago as a medi- cal patient.

In wartime the Red Cross shelters wounded and ill combatants and protects those caring for the wounded, those taken prisoner, and noncombatants whose home- lands have been overrun and occupied by enemy forces. In peacetime, it is the symbol around which peoples the world over rally to give aid and comfort to victims of earthquake, flood, storm, plague, and other disasters. As long as 157,000,000 million men and women sub- scribe to the humanitarian principles of the International Red Cross there is still hope for mankind. | Only Yesterday Ten, Twenty and Thirty Years Ago In The Dallas Post It Happened 30 Years Ago George T.

A. Waters Tt is a common pronouncement of business and their spokesmen that “labor expense” is up and con- stantly increasing. And at the same time, the rank and file of workers, and especially union leaders, are ery- ing that “takehome pay” is inadequ- ate and the workers must have more. This is one situation in which both sides, conceivably, could be right. . Because ‘they are not speaking about the same thing. Prior to the present century, eve- ryone spoke the same language in wage matters. From the employer’s standpoint the rate was fixed and paid to the several employes, few or many. The whole was equal to the sum of its parts. The total pay- roll was his wage expense, and that was clear enough to understand and figure on. A man received his pay, usually im cash, but sometimes by check. He counted it and there it was. To the employers, such things as fringe benefits and payroll taxes were unknown. To employes, pay- roll deductioms were very rare, made only on court or some other official order or by a written authorization voluntarily signed by the worker and fully understood by him. More liberal employers might give the-employes a turkey. or some other gratuity at Christmas, or maybe at some other time but were not forced to do so. If a mam was sick, fre- quently the others would absorb his work and his pay would go on. Some were paid for long periods of sick- ness, even if replacement was neses- sary, but this was a special case not required. Scheduled vacatioms of any significant length were very rare, but an occasional absence would be allowed, and in this case also the others would usually absorb the work. This is not intended to indicate that those were the good old days in which everyone was happy. Quite the reverse. Wage rates were low, hours were long, and most condit- ions in big operations were, by pre- sent standards, highly unsatisfac- tory. But everyone knew just what was what. > Today, the worker suffers a de- duction for income tax, based on his earnings and reported dependemts, whether his income as a whole just- ifies it or not. In most, cases, he also has deducted a percentage for social security, in my owm case a railroad retirement: tax. In many industries there is a deduction for union dues. Then, yielding to high pressure sales- manship, he may have authorized deductions for such things as saving Sé: Andrew Sordoni matrowly | missed serious imjury when a piece of steel he was cutting on a lathe in his blacksmith shop grazed his neck, as it flew from the machine. Dallas Township voted to enlarge its athletic field. Servicemen heard from: Clayton Cairl, Mass.; W. W. Lewin, S.C.; Don Yeust, Texas; Buck Edwards, Texas; Lewis Button, Maine; Alfred Roman, England; Eric Weber, N.Y.; Earl Wil- liams, Ga.; William Templin, Miss.; William (Stritzinger, Los Angeles, Cal; Andy Kaskus, Va.; Foster Sut- ton, Miss.; Lary Yeager, Fla.; Wil- liam Dierolf, Cal.; Evan H. Evans, Cal; Fred Schobert, Ga.; Francis Polachek, Texas; Willard Rogers, Fleett Postmaster, San Francisco; bonds, charity funds, hospitalization and medical insurance, and a host of other things. He may involuntarily have a deduction for local taxes, and garnishments for unpaid bills. Even those of us who keep deduct- ions to the absolute minimum, us- ually have more deductions than the total pay we formerly earned. But the average worker has no sat- isfaction in all these deductions. Tt's the cash that counts and can be spent. But the employer is even worse off. While I am no authority in the matter, anyome in his general read- ing can see that the overburden of all kinds of taxation, paid and de- ducted, is heavy in both cash and paperwork. Amd then the employer is required to match ‘the deduction for social security, and pay an addit- ional percentage for unemployment insurance, meither of which is earn- ed as wages by the worker, and are an added share of his labor expense. Scheduled vacation allowances are now commonplace and getting long- er all the time, with an important change over prior conditions. Today, in most cases, uniom rules require that a man’s job be filled during his vacation. It makes no difference if the temporary man must be picked up off the street and be a hindrance instead of assistance in the oper- ation of the business. In many bus- inesses amd whole industries, the employers have to assume the ex- pense of hospitalization and various other plans. But it is in the reduced working hours that the money is really put out. The old day for week-day work- ers was about ten or evem more hours long. This was gradually cut to eight, then the weekly limit fixed at forty hours with overtime, Man- agement rearranged work, some- times put on additional shifts and had to live with it. A few jobs 24 hours daily mow use four and one- fifth men per week. It is a basic rule in all labor re- lations that a man’s pay must be maintained when his hours are cut, but there is’ no more work done for the business under the new condit- ions, with minor exceptions, than before. And with the required filling of vacation vacancies, the employer has to pay for each employe several weeks additional pay for which he receives mo service in return. Everywhere, wage rates have raised and are still going upward. This also increases prices of every- thing so an employers expense is up in everything else, as well as wages. The cost of living goes up. : It is a vicious spiral. enneth Kocher, Texas, Married: Ellen Trethway to James Agnew, both of Lehman.

GOOD MAN GONE With the (eath of Otto Biery, Lake Towmshib has suffered an un- reckonable loss. No man was ever more dedicated to public service. For almost twelve years, Otto made it his jpb to know darn near everything any self-respecting town- ship should te aware of, evem if it meant losing sleep or money him- self to do it. Formerly alocal schoolteacher and well-versed ir law and business from employment on Wall Street, New York, he had a mo-nonsense control of any such problem as the super- visors might need help with, and he wasn’t usually wrong. - Another Otto Biery will be hard to come by. Safety Valve The election this fall to select two school board members offers for the first time within my memory a contest where the voters have a clear choice of alternatives, issues, and candidates. While I have an obvious personal interest in this contest, it is my primary intent to make clear to the electorate what these issues are, ‘All candidats for this important local office are concerned with bet- ter education, maximum efficiency, and reduced costs. These are gen- eralities, perhaps mutually incon- sistent, but upon which any candi- date in his right mind would have to take his stand. But I have a penetrating fear that here in the Back Mountain and | in similar communities throughout the United States am abatement of interest in education of superior ‘quality is taking place. Our con- cern with Sputnik amd other evi- dence of Soviet achievements is in a past that we try to forget as a nightmare. Peaceful coexistence at the intermational level falls in stride with a willingness to coexist with mediocrity in our educational en- deavors for our young people. You and I have witnessed over the past decade great strides in improving the opportunities which we make available in our public school system. Yet the fear re- mains with me that there is an undercurrent of sentiment that cries out for the “least that we can get away with.” To allow such un- worthy emotion to go uncontested in November would set in motion such tragic consequences that none of us would care to contemplate. I hope to set off with this cor- respondence an exchange of ideas among the candidates representing the two parties, which exchange will enhance the ability of the voters to make a ratiomal choice in cast- ing their ballots.
