YE OLDE WOODBOXXE
An Indiana editor writes a
reminiscent disquisition on "fill
Inn the wood box." lie does not
hit the great thing In connection
with the average country boy's
job In the prcfurnace. pre
radiator days, and that Is the
fact that a boy's struggle with
the wood box was the greatest
element ever known In the de
velopment of the American
character. 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.

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.

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

' 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 unhappy marriages re

which young women between
the ages of 25 and 30 are har

sex. Becoming unbearably

females why they haven't mar

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

with respect and even admira

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.
Please Note
To young fellows starting In
business for themselves I once
more call attention to three
books they might find helpful:
"A Small Store and Indepen
dence" by Greenberg and Schln-

Add tales my grandfather
told me: At a wedding in Glas
gow the bridegroom had assum
ed a very sad expression and
was nervously fidgeting from
one foot to another. "What's
the matter, Jock?" whispered
the best man. "Have you lost
the ring?" Jock answered in
targic tones: "No, the ring is
safe enough. I've lost my
enthusiasm."
