THE PUBLIC THINKS
The war record of industry and the
labor it employs being more than
satisfactory, the problem the public
now faces is how it will all shape up
after the war.
In a recently published summary of
the views of the American war work­
er, baaed on studies by the American
Institute of Public Opinion, we have
some very reassuring information on
the nature of the average war work-
era' attitude.

The majority of war workers are
taking a realistic view of the post-war
era, saving money now because they
thinks they may have to accept a
weekly pay, cut. They are satisfied
with the way management is running
things. They are fair and will not
rush to defend fellow workers whom
they believe are at fault. And al­
though the majority believe in labor
unions they are not blind to the
shortcomings of Unions.
This is a picture of a level-headed
group—an important one which in­
cludes millions of men and women
und which constitutes qne of the
largest groups in the country today-.
And members of the government
would do well to consider this when
fanciful schemes are being hatched in
Washington.

WEEKLY IB VALUABLE AB
GOODWUX AGNNT
“Organizations with a good7will or
public relations message can find no
better medium for getting their point
across than the weekly newspaper,”
is the opinion of Giles French, pub­
lisher of the Sherman County Jour­
nal.
“Weeklies contact the grass roots,"
states the Sherman County newspa­
perman. “They are read by people
whose opinions come from long
thoughts done while the thinker is
alone in the field. They are there­
fore
more permanent than the
thoughts that come more from the
emotional reaction of those who are
constantly rushed hither and thither
by other personalities.
Weekly newspaper publishers need
to demonstrate the superior “be­
lievability” of their newspaper. A
