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

Editorially Speaking:
"Red Cross Is
100 Years Old
The Dallas Post salutes the Red Cross on its hun-
dredth anniversary, and congratulates it on its worldwide
membership of 157,000,000 people.
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.

THE DALLAS POST, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 12, 1963
DN SE EN A RN EN NNN NN NX;
Rambling Around
By The Oldtimer — D. 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

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.

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.
Respectfully,
Welton G. Farrar
