A committee of Salem Dads plan to visit here, and eye the Medford sys tem. They will hear all about the grade school players, the equipment, the band, the drill teams, the coaches, athletically minded school heads, public support, turf fields, and how the Dads help. They will dis cover it takes about eight years for a boy to become a full fledged Black Tornado member. The Salem visitors, when they come, should not forget to ask what part the Maws play. They do something besides bake the turkeys for the end of the sea son banquets. e e The high ace of the Auto Union, firing a broadside of in vective at the suggestion by the President, the strikers 'go back to work', further declares, "The heart of the program, which lead to the democratic election victory in 1!)44" Is under fire.

Lacking that ele ment, the American character dnos not seem to amount to nirh nowadays. A boy's first duty, and the thing which he had to attend to before he could even think of playing hockey, or going skating, or construct ing snow forts, or Indulging In any sort of pleasure, was not alone to fill the kitchen wood box. the sitting room wood box. and two or three bedroom wood boxes, and. on the nights when sister Susie had company, the parlor wood box, but to saw and split the wood that was devour ed by all these cast-iron and shrrt-irnn Molochs in the house. The kitchen wood box was un doubted the chief concern, for all the domestic economy de pended on it. and It was a bit ter and everlasting disgrace If mother ever had to go out to the shed after a couple of sticks! problem is a lit 1 1 f more intri of wood. (K. C. Times) ' cate. Ask one of her friends. Monday. Dee. 10. 194i Editorial Correspondence Boston, Mass., Dec. 5 At last! The news has lust come in that President Truman has asked for a strike-cure procedure similar nan. a far aa railroads are concerned. As was pointed out In this column Oct. 9 of this year, here is a solution that had been tried In one of the most highly unionized industries in the nation Why not amend the act to include ALL industries and not merely railroads? We still can't understand why this wasn't done at that time Instead on being proposed now, two months later. However, better late than never, now under the President's leadership we should be getting somewhere, instead of drifting nearer and nearer the rocks industrially as has been the case since the end of the war. It Is also stated organized labor will not agree to the Pres ident's proposal. All the labor "Big Shots," Green, Lewis and Murray are said to be violently maintaining it is an effort on the stroy labor unions. How? Let's have some evidence that such a program would destroy unions or Injure them in any way. If this is true why haven't the railroad unions been destroyed? And how could a voluntary period of fact-finding and free discussion, injure any party to such an arrangement. The union leaders will have to do something beside make the charges with out supporting evidence, to convince the American people. We grant such a program would destroy the "divine right" of striking, at any time for any cause, or without cause, Just for some selfish labor advantage and without regard to the wel fare of the country or the people in It. But that divine right of labor consequences has or should have, no more standing today, than the divine right of kings. This defiance by organized labor does put President Truman in a spot. He is absolutely right. And must KNOW he is right, And if he sticks to his guns he will have an overwhelming majority of the people of this country, regardless of party, eventually behind him. But WILL he? Mack Llllard would have a fine time in this man's town. There is a box-fight or hockey game or wrestling match nearly every night in the week and all well attended. We could never get up any interest In the last two professional sports, but have always been interested in the first named, a form of primitive drama that for some reason has always had a strong appeal. A few nights ago Willie Pep put on a great exhibition of box ing at Mechanics' Hall and last night Ray (Sugar) Robinson was the attraction at the Boston Garden. They were billed as "FIGHTS," but they were only exhibitions, the opposition being of a negligible quality in both cases, in fact not as interesting as some routine work-outs we have seen with sparring partners. The speed and skill of these two boys, however, were something to sec, speed, timing, footwork, to any student of "the manly art of self-defense," well worth the price of admission. e e e e Another attraction at the Garden last night was the appear ance of Billy Conn, heavyweight challenger of Joe Louis, as re feree In one of the bouts. An added Interest derived from the re cent statement by Gene Tunney, wuuia train do a sei-up tor "Sugar" Robinson would beat him. doubt the latter, too great a weight differential, but Conn while nneiy Built and extremely handsome looked pale and soft, a far better subject for a movie box-fight than getting into the squared circle with Killer Joe, we would say. e e e e e One thinks of New England as thickly populated and highly civilized which it is, but not very many miles from Boston, the deer season is on and an ex-G.I. was mistaken for a deer yes terday and shot through the head. In fact there are sections of the Berkshircs which arc still wild with both fishing and hunting fairly good. Another item In the morning paper supports the statement that financially all is not as it should be in Boston town. It seems Mayor Kerrigan, who will soon give way to Congressman Curlcy now on trial for using the malls to defraud! bought some Oriental rugs about a year ago to make his offices look more presentable. Yesterday the rug dealer carted them away because he had never been paid for them and repeated efforts to get his money had failed. So when Mayor Curley returns to City Hall he will not only find the financial cupboard bare, but the floors alsol e e e e ' Ever since we reached here a month agol GI's have been arriving at the port of Boston, at the rate of about 10,000 a week, rarln' to get out of the army and roam in foreign lands no more. Of course many more have no doubt disembarked at New York and San Francisco. The political pressure to demobilize the army more rapidly is increasing daily. Probably the army heads know what they are doing, but this department has a very strong sus picion that this demobilization Is getting out of hand, and we may wake up some fine morning and find we need more of an active army than we have. Such a situation, however, will never be remedied by universal military training, that would come too Intel In fact If we had anything to do about It we would stress the need of a large navy, an adequate well equipped standing army, with an overwhelming air force, and forget about taking a year out of the life of every Tom, Dick and Harry for military training.

Many young women in the aforementioned are grouD will accept the first man who proposes whether they love him or not. Ruth Lyons, a spinster of 30, bitterly comments on this situation as follows: "T h e bachelor Is generally regarded with respect and even admira tion as If he had done a very thing.

A truly remarkable aviator. Nothing Facetious Our Horses At Women experts are not interested in criticism of the female sex they suspect to be facetious. Only constructive suggestions appeal to them. In this latter category is Included some recently voiced criticism by a man of considerable e.vper- lence, namely James Montgom ery Flagg. Among other things Mr. Flagg objects to women who wear coats without putting their arms In the sleeves. Also to females who "dress provo catively and pretend to be In sulted if it works." To women who grip clgarets in their mouths while strolling down main thoroughfares and those who wear mink coats on warm days.
