griffin first Invest Your Money, Your Talent, Your Time, Your Influence In Griffin 1 Member Of The Associated Press EABflH-MANABEMENEEEIEEI E0 SEEEEE DIE E EHENBESE E VEN1N GOOD G By Quimby Melton Tomorrow the voters jot Grif fin will select a city commission er who will serve fcr the next three years. There are three candidates. Without expressing any per sonal preference, may Good Evening urge every qualified voter to go to the polls and cast his or her ballot. The makeup of our city ,com mission during the ccming years will determine to a large extent whether the city goes forward or backward—for nothing stands still. And if the voters of Griffin show- little interest in the city elections, the one tomorrow and the others ccming up a year a part, then they cannot find fault whichever way these elec tions go. Now it’s nobody's business HOW you vote. But it is every one’s business to impress on you the importance of voting. * The ieng awaited conference between Labor and Management opened in Washington today and _ the entire nation hopes sincere ly that the two great factors in industry will find a common ground on which they can stand shoulder to shoulder and work ing together carry America to peaceful prosperity. It’s high time both Labor and Management stop acting like spoined children and act like grownups. This is no time for child's play, It’s no time for anyone get ting mad and threatening to “go home with my baseball" thus breaking up the game. Industry cannot get along witheut both Labor and Man agement. They should make up a team that works together, pulls evenly on the chases, and realizes that one without the other would be lost. Not all Labor is bad. Not all Management is bad. But bad leadership among both and loud talking and boastful threats about this and that have getten the Industrial Picture in a pretty sorry mess. And all Labor is not good. Neither is all Management good. But it’s high time that good leadership among both arise and assert itself. There is some common ground —the good of Industry and the \ pood of the Nation—on which Labor and Management can meet if selfish interests are for gotten and wild, radical leaders —In both Labor and Manage ment—are told “Shut up, you've run the show long enough. N:w let us have a chance." The conference in Washing ton will either result in real settlement of differences or will be a whooping failure.
