Chirps Tm!T In The- Day's lews Br FRANK JENKINS Geoigo Howson of Sacramento, celebrating his 100th birthday, styr he made one bad mistake in his long life. He quit v. or ai 80. He added "That's too young to retire. I'd have gone on working if neople weren't so touchy about hiring old men. ' Food for thought; Mabe if the minimum wage fixed by law weren't so high, peo ple wouldn't be so touchy aooui hiring old men. And handicapped men. And old women. And hwidi capped women. Under our American system, it's quite all right to require by law he paid to able-bodied and compe tent workers. But I can't help wondering about older people and handicapped people. If they could supolemenl their pensions and their social security with a rea sonable amount of work at mod erate wascs it seems probable they would be happier and better off and would live longer. Speaking of oid men, there Is Chancellor Adenauer of Germany. who is KOing on 80. He Is one 01 the world's great statesmen. He had an attack of bronchial pneu monia the other day that scared tne free nations out of their boots and filled the Kremlin bosses with rosv hoDe. I'm glad Adenauer Is able to go on working and I'm happy to learn this morning that he appears to be recovering from his Illness. Bouncing back from old age to youth, you've probably noted that ij.b per cent ot tne tuamain coun try's United Fund money will be expended for the support of youth training and character building agencies. That will amount to about $36,000. You may ask (particularly if you have no young children): "Why should I put up money for the support of youth training and character bunding agencies?' This is the best answer I can think of. It is the proud boast ot the Boy Scouts that no Eagle Scout (Eagle Scout is the highest rank in Scout into has ever been convicted of a crime Involving moral turpitude. Character building like that PAYS OFF. It pays off for EVERYBODY, From the . Eugene Register- Guard: When France walked out of the United Nations In a fit of pique this newspaper said France 'picked up its doll rags and wen! home." Leafing through the ex rhanges, we note that the Coos Bay Times, same day, said France nicked up Its ball bat and went home. Tne Albany Democrat-Her- eld, the same day. said France picked up its marbles and went home. Well. If United Nations hod vot ed to consider whether or not Alas- ka and Hawaii belong to the Unit ed States, or -should be set up by UN as SEPARATE AND INDE PENDENT NATIONS, we'd have picked up our tools and walked off ihe iob. - . ' Let's add that phrase to the others. Algeria is a part of the French Republic. It is as much a part if France as Alaska and Hawaii are ot the United States. It sends representatives to the French as sembly, just as Alaska and Ha waii send representatives to the U.S. congress. No American can blame France for walking out when United Na tions (with all the communist members supporting the motion) voted to consider whether or not Algeria should be divorced from the French Repuolic. Cardinals Hire' Suds Manager ST. LOUIS l! Fred Hutchin son, former Detroit manager who led Seattle to the Pacific Coast League championship this year, was named msrsger of the St. Louis Cardinals Wednesday. Hutchinson was given a two-year contract at an undisclosed salary. The replacement of Harry (the Hat) Walker with the 36-year old Hutchinson followed by five days the appointment of Frank Lane as general manager of the club, a seventh place finisher this past season. The news that Lane had decided on Hutch as his field boss leaked out within hours after Lane's ap pointment Inst Friday and the reason for Wednesday's news con ference had all but disappeared by the time the reporters gath ered at the Cardinal office. Hutchinson announced his coach es as Terry Moore, former Card inal star; johnny Hopp. and Bill Posedel. Prsedcl is a carryover from the Walker regime. Walker took over as Cardinal manager from the fired Eddie Sianky last May only to see the Cardinals go on to their worst finish in 36 years.
