problems confronting the “boss”
in our competitive enterprise
system, and when each appre
ciates the viewpoint of the other,
then we have a foundation upon
which to build labor-manage
ment trust and achieve greater
productivity and a better living
standard for all.
Freedom Forum XVII at Hard
ing College went a long way to
ward getting at the problems of
mutual misunderstanding and
mistrust between. these vital
groups . who hold the future
progress of America in their
hands. Among our conferees were
representatives of organized
labor, the church, _education, big
business and little business from
26 states, Since every American
citizen has a stake in the man
agement — labor problem, I'm
devoting the next few columns
to the lessons we studied at the
Forum. :
Good Citizen
Keith Claxton is a labor lead
er. He's 30, a native of Boone
County, Mo., a high school grad
uate. In December, 1942, he be
gan work at the A, B. Chance
Company plant at Centralia, Mo.
But a month later he was in the
U. 8. Army. Keith saw combat
service on three fronts, Twice
he was wounded. At war’s end,
he returned to A. B. Chance
and, in time, became an appren
tice machinist. He is now a
journeyman machinist in the
plant. Keith is president of Local
821 IUS-CIO. He’s a member of
the local VFW post, the Junior
Chamber of ommerce, the Bap
tist Church, and is chairman of
the local seout committee of the
Boy Scouts of America. He has
three youngsters —two boys
and a girl.
Speaking to the ecross-section
Forum audience, containing
preachers, teachers, manage
ment and labor represeniatives,
he said: “You probably wonder
what are the ambitions of a
THE COVINGTON NEWS
man like me..l suppose I'm not|
much different from you. Us
ually we fellows in the plant
want to better ourselves, make
more money, have a higher
standard of living for ourselves
and our families.
No. 1 — Job Security
“The first thing the average
employee wants is job security.
When a man feels *his job is
secure, not subject to someone
else’s whim, he’s going to be a
more loyal employee and take
more interest in -his- job, the
quality of work he does. Most of
the men I know who work in
factory jobs today naturally want
a good standard of living; they
want a job which enables them
to make payments on a home, to
have an automobile, to lay aside
a little for vacation, recreations,
and the education of their chil
dren. After security in import
ance are good living wages and
opportunities for advancement.
Progress or promotion, or rec
ognition of a job well done, us
‘ually helps a man’s morale. All
of us like to feel that what we're
doing is worth while.
~ “Retirement security is an
Parent Problems
SOME mothers dress the school
child too well. Witness the Yol
lowing letter:
| “Dear Dr. Myers: My son is in
|the fifth grade and his teacher
asked me to come over to-see her.
She says he doesn't seem happy
or interested in school. The
trouble is the children won't play
with him. They have found .out
he is afraid of them. He told me
ke is afraid of them, and they all
can whip him.
“He is a handsome boy and
when he walks into the room they
lsay‘ ‘Here comes the big shot.
I asked him why, and then he says
}it’s because he wears a tie and his
hair is combed and his shoes
'shined. He is a very nervous and
|sensitive child. When he comes
Ihome irom school he stays in with
'me and listens to the radio. He
|is happy at home.”
; Check on Other Children
| In answering this mother, I en
|closed my bulletins, “The Nervous
|Child” and “Your Child and His
| Playmates,” and wrote her about
|as follows: You might do most
for your boy if you would send
‘him to school without a tie, with
hair poorly combed and shoes un
!shined. Find out how the children
at school are dressed and don't
dress him better than the aver
age of his class.
Were you to let him prepare
himself for school, I'm sure he
would appear more acceptable to
the other children. Certainly his
tie would be missing, his hair
would not be too well combed nor
lhis shoes always shined, To be
(the best groomed child in a class
(of 10-year-olds is to be the most
miserable child there.
| Some mothers are just too fus
|sy. No doubt you have dressed
that child, even for his playtime
| home, as Little Lord Fauntleroy.
| Limit his listening to the radio,
especially to exciting programs.
| Help him attract other children
|of his age to your home, when
|you should have him dressed no
| better than the guests.
| Encourage him to get into the
rough-and-tumble of the neigh
borhood. Let him learn to settle
his own quarrels and fight his
‘own battles. Dad might show him |
how to use his bare fists in self
rdefense. or a boxing teacher
Imight do better. He needs to learn
'skills at play and with tools that
lother boys will admire.
l Babyish Action ’
| No-doubt he cries easily or calls ‘
‘the other boys ugly names when
‘he feels unable to cope with them. |
lAt some quiet times, help this lad |

Party On Birthday
PORTERDALE -~ The home
£ Mrs. Clyde Dodd, at 23 Pop
llar Street, was the scene of a
b'rthday party honoring Linda
I Dalton on her fifth birthday.
| The party was held Saturday,
| January 24. Due to illness of
her grandmother in Moultrie,
Linda was not able to be present,
but her friends celebrated for
her.
The friends who met to honor
Linda were: Katrina Stone
Sheilah Graham, Kathy God
dard, Janey Bowen, Linda and
| Carolyn Christian, Sherrill and
| Mat Crowell, Danny Johnson,
| Judy Davis, Ronnie House, Car
|roll Hawk, and Carolyn - Maloy.
“’ Delicious refreshments of cake,
| candy, and ice cream were serv
'ed. Each child received a bal
[loon and a basket of nuts as
| tavors.
Mrs. Dodd was assisted im
entertaining by Mrs H. V. John
son Jr, Mrs, Herman Goddard,
Mrs. F. A. Goddard, Donna
Dodd, and Richard Dodd.
Fertilize fish ponds and keep
| them reasonably free from large
water plants such as water lilies
water mosses and pond weeds.
other important consideration inl
every worker’'s mind. None of‘
us can go on working forever.
We like to think that while our
youth is slipping away we are
ihelping to build financial security
for our old age. People want to
be financially independent of
worry in their old age, and ac
tually most of them would like
to be building that security while
they are able to work, so they
can be independent in their old
age, through their own efforts,
and not have to depend on some
government agency or some other
form of government aid.
Responsibilities Too :
“Likewise it would be diffi
cult for me to rest easy if I
had to worry about my hospital
bills, medical bills and medicine,
plus the fact that, with such bills,
I might not have the money to
pay for groceries and the other
necessities of living. I honestly
feel that industry today could
‘make a worthy contribution by
taking the lead in this field of
insurance coverage, helping to
find and establish an insurance
program that is good for them
to see that when he cries or calls
lother children ugly names, he is
Lacting like a baby, which only
makes them tease him more..
Lead him to understand why he
should not let them see him cry;
that when he must cry he should
hide behind the garage, tree, post
or even stoop down and pretend
he is tying his shoe till the tears
dry up.
At best, his gains will be only
gradual, but so long as he feels
|and acts as he does toward the
other boys, he will continue to be
very unhappy. (My bulletin,
[“Your Child and His Playmates,”
imay be had in a stamped envg
lope sent me in care of this
newspaper.)
