While the fellow was looking over some stuff on the count?r, Buck handed a free peppermint stick to the boy, who promptly tore off the wrapper and went to work on it. The father seemod quite put out about his son’s lack of man ners and held up his hand to stop him. “ What do we say when Mr. Benson gives us something?” he demanded. “ Charge it,” replied the kid without hesitation From where I sit, children aren’t the only ones who “repeat things” without knowing what they’re talking about. For instance, I’m convinced that many of those who speak out against the old Amer ican custom of enjoying a glass of beer after work are just parroting what they’ve heard others say. It’s better to get the facts—then make up our own minda —and permit our neighbors to do the lame. Copyright, 1956, United States Hrewers foundation Standard's educational program helps provide college training for 286 students this year M?3«as lNV lT « i O N TO- - • TENURE One thing we should get rid of In Oregon Is tenure, both In state government and in the schools. There is surely some way to make an employe immune to the whims of a partisan Ixiss without giv ing him life time right to a Job whether he does his work well or not. Criticism of public employees protected by tenure must not l»e considered as criticism of all pub lic employees. Those who do their work well and conscientiously— anil they are probably a majority —should lie the last to condone the laziness of those who do not. It Is almost Impossible to fire a public employee after he or she has served long enough to acquire tenure. Any attempt to do so raises the question of favoritism. A hearing must lie held and no political dvjxirtment head wants to go through that very often. The lietter employees go on to better Jobs In private Industry and the better teachers go on to lietter Jobs In California and the state anti school district gets to keep the inefficient ones who need the protection of tenure. We believe that a worker who needs to be protected from lei ng fired by anything but his good conduct ar>l good work needs fir- ng. Human nature being what It is there is much less efficiency displayed when there is no danger that the Job will tie lost. The state of Oregon would be better governed If it was possible to get rid of a fifth of the em ployees and raise the pay of those that remained so they would stay on the Job. They roukl do the work.

TH E Y CALL THIS THE ATOM IC AGE . . . the era of the “ thinking” machine. But above all, this is the age of human thought. For today our country needs more and more skilled minds to harness our atoms, advance our culture and guide our government. Standard, too, needs fresh concepts to maintain its position in a highly competitive business.
