The Wheeling Experiment
Nothing is more demoralizing to an able-
bodied and self-respecting man than to be out of
work. Regular employment is the life blood of well-
ordered human existence. No matter how adequate
the support in the emergency may be, nothing can
take the place of productive daily work.
An interesting example of this observation is
reported from Wheeling, West Virginia. In that city
1,400 former steel workers, who were laid off when
the steel mills were forced to close, have organized
under the initiative of one of their number, Thomas
E. Elliott. Their object is to get other industries to
come in. They offer certain definite inducements:
An abundance of skilled labor, a lower wage level,
and hard work with no strikes. They will undertake
to cooperate to the utmost with the management.
In return for their willingness to accept lower
wages, they would ask some share in the profits,
if any, at the end of the year.
Mr. Elliott makes some frank comments on the
present situation. The union, he says, has gotten
wages up too far. The rate of $3 per hour is more
than the traffic will bear, and the result is that the
steel mills and the workers are priced out of the
market. Unemployed steel workers, he continues,
will have “to get used to working for lower wages
in other types of industry,” say for $1.85 to $2
per hour.
The predicament of these and many more work-
ers involves a far reaching sociological problem.
One of the greatest chamions of labor was John L.
Lewis of the United Mine Workers. He pushed
wages and benefits but at the same time he ex-
pressly favored every new technical improvement
designed to increase production. He saw thousands
of men thrown out of work as a consequence but
he did not consider it to be the business of the
union to provide for them. He looked to the indus-
try of the country to absorb them.
The labor unions may not welcome the Wheel-
ing effort, as it involves lower wages for many
workers. But if it is the preference of these men
and if it succeeds in establishing a productive rela-
tion between management and labor in its own
area, it is preferable to the general demoralization
of idle workers and closed plants.

The Washington
Merry-Go-Round
By Drew Pearson
WASHINGTON — Inside The
White House: The Kennedys have
just begun to explore the cavern-
ous interior of the White House
... On the two floors that make
up their private quarters, they
have counted 19 bathrooms . . .
Ike’s private bathroom, they
discovered, has a, presidential
seal on the sliding, glass door
. . . This bathroom adjoined his
bedroom, a great buff-colored
room between his oval study and
Mamie’s bedroom . . .Mamie
slept in the southwest comer
suite, done in pale green with
floral print drapes. Her bed-
spread and dressing table were
trimmed with a feminine fringe
. . . she is fond of pink. Even
the White House mops were cov
ered with pink flannel bags . . .
the Eisenhowers spent most of
their time in the west sitting
room, an ivory-colored room with
floral, draw drapes over the
large west window. On the north
side, a TV set is installed in the
wall . . . the room was dom-
inated by a large oil painting of
Mamie. Other family pictures
were scattered around the lamp
tables . . . the Eisenhowers had
traditional furniture. The Ken-
nedys are bringing in French
provincial furniture, all white
with gold trimming . . . even
three-year-old Caroline’s room will
be furnished in the same style
with miniatures. Her little bed
is covered with a white, lace-
fringed canopy . . . Mamie’s
mother, the late Elvira Doud,
stayed in the northwest corner
room when visiting the White
House. It is. still painted in her
favorite lavender . . . the cen-
tral hall in the family quarters is
so wide that the Eisenhowers
lined it with bookshelves, chairs',
and paintings, including another
oil painting of Mamie . . . Ike’s
favorite room was the rooftop
solarium, a polygonal metal room
with a great expanse of glass
overlooking the sweeping White
House lawn and the Potomac in
the distance. Ike used to grill
steaks and whip up pancakes in
an adjoining, tiny kitchen . . .
the Kennedy’s may turn the run-
room into a nursery for the chil-
dren . . . this is where Presi-
dent Teddy Roosevelt staged his
boxing bouts, also where Calvin
Coolidge kept his mechanical
horse.
Mr. Eisenhower Reflects
In a thoughtfully quite mood,
Dwight D. Eisenhower spoke to a
friend the other day about the
burdens which suddenly have been
lifted from his shoulders.
He complained about the awk-
ward “bigness” of government.
It was almost too big, he said,
for one man to grasp all the prob-
lems and guide the policies.
He had so many policymakers
that he couldn’t keep close
enough to them. Often he couldn’t
properly evaluate the memos that
were handed up to him because
he didn’t know the people who
wrote them.
To understand a memo com-
pletely, he explained, it’s neces-
sary to consider the personality
and prejudices of the writer.
Ike suggested wistfully that
President Kennedy would discover
for himself how difficult it is tc
turn the cumbersome machinery
of government around and change
directions.
The retired President acknow-
ledged that Kennedy had made a
good start by surrounding him-
self with competent subordinates.
“However wise and however
competent you lay out plans,”
commented Ike, “tire distillation
of those plans into action is a
matter of people.”
The man who may be brilliant
in his private field, Ike added,
may not necessarily be able to
run a government department.
However, he expressed confi-
dence in the capacity of the
country to weather difficulties.
“We are a country that ab-
sorbs change,” he said.
He suggested that the new pres-
ident must learn how to relax.
The thing that wears a president
out, Eisenhower said, is the con-
stant .“shifting of mental gears”
from one great problem to an-
other.
Ike always kept after his sub-
ordinates to relax. Once he told
his secretary of the treasury, Ro-
bert Anderson: “I want you to
take some time oft.”
Anderson went into a discourse
about all the pressing problems
that had to be solved.
“I don’t see how I can take
time off,” he concluded.
“You can if I instruct you to,”
tthe President replied.

Life Begins at Forty
Life Abroad Beak Retirement
By ROBERT PETERSON
Q. “We’ve made a lot of plans
for my retirement next March
when I hit 65. But now my boss
has offered me a two year con-
tract to go with my wife to Ja-
pan for two years and set up a
new branch. It appeals to me but
our two children are opposed and
tell us we should proceed with
our plan of moving South and
raising Boxer pups as a hobby.
They tell us we’ve earned a good
rest. What should I do?”
A. Grab the offer. YTou can; al-
ways retire, but this is probably
your last chance to accept an
assignment abroad where you’ll
not only enjoy a change of scene
but also a continued feeling of
usefulness and competence.
Youngsters always drool at the
prospect of retiring. But as one
grows older and wiser he comes
to realize that purposeful work
is infinitely more satisfying.
Q. “All this talk about expen-
sive medical care for the aged is
a laugh. I’ve got a flock of home
remedies handed down from my
ancestors in Sicily and haven’t
been to a doctor in half a cen-
tury. I think most of the people
who run to doctors could cure
themselves if they’d study natu-
ral remedies and not be so fear-
ful every time they feel an ache.”
A. Maybe so. But it could be
you haven’t needed a doctor all
these years because you’re bless-
ed with unusually healthy con-
stitution. I realize there are a
couple of books on the market by
physicians who say there’s more
to folk medicine than meets the
eye. But, personally, if I were to
get seriously sick I don’t think
I’d, care to rely on dandelion pel-
lets and seaweed poultices.
Q; “I’m a widow, 75, living-
alone and in poor health. My
son suggests I sign over my pro-
perty to him, which is worth
about $50,000, and then move
in with him and his family and
they’ll take care of me for the
rest of my life. What do you
think?”
A. Your son may have the best
intentions in the world, but I
think you’ll fare better if you
live independently and keep your
property in your name. Unless
you and your son’s family have
an unusually close and affec
donate relationship I think you’ll
be happier in a home for older
people which offers nursing faci-
lities, and where your son and
his family can visit you occas
ionally.
Q. “You seem to write mostly
about retirement problems among
the poor. But I’m here to tell you
many of us in high income brae
kets have problems, too. I was
a corporation president for
years and built my firm into one
of the great oil companies of the
world. Now that I’ve been forced
to retire at 65 I can find nothing
to do that begins to compare with
the excitement of executive man
agement. What can you suggest?
A. Buy yourself another cor
poration presidency. A number
of top executives who have been
given the gate at 65 have bought
controlling interests in smaller
companies or have launched new
businesses of their own. No' man
with brains and money need re
main idle.

publisher and general manager of
the weekly and its affiliate, the
Item Stationers, since 1945.
Don Reid Jr., noted for his cov-
erage of executions at the' Texas
penitentiary here and his fight
against capital punishment, is the
editor and has been associated

Mr. Merchant: Your Taylor
Daily Press ad man has your
master plan for more results from
advertising. *,
There is no doubt about it! Per-
sonal appearance is a “top draw-
er” subject if you are in your
teens or have a teen-age daugh-
ter. In fact it is pretty much top
i drawer at any age. However, teen-
agers are so apt to be especially
and painfully self-conscious about
any real or imagined' defect in
good looks. The tried and practi-
cal tips in this book are present-
ed in a light, sympathetic style.
One of Glynne Hiller’s capsule
prescriptions for acquiring femi-
and grooming routines, carrot
sticks and cleanliness.” In other
words, exercise, good grooming,
lots of vitamins and soap and
water!
As a matter of fact that theme
of cleanliness runs all through
the book. Mrs, Hiller comments,
“If your skin has a honey-smooth
glow—you’ve struck diamonds.
But don’t sit back too comfort-
ably. You’ll still need to abide
by a basic skin program to pre-
serve its delicate texture.”
As I have emphasized in this
column, it is essential that the
teen-age boy or girl use soap
and water generously because the
little oil gland's are more active
at this age. Oil and perspiration
and dead cells and dirt must
not be allowed to plug the pores
Otherwise, blackheads are certain
to appear and pimples may also
be in the offing.
Don’t tempt fate and wait for
blackheads to appear. If your
skin is at all oily, wash it with
soap and water several times a
day. Prevention is easier than
cure. .
Many young girls (and older
ones, too) wonder how often to
shampoo their hair. This depends
on the type hair you have. If
it is oily, you will need more fre-
quent champoos. According to
Glynne Hiler “The time is ripe
for washing when your hair
starts to lose its sheen.” Teen-
agers are much more likely to
have oily hair than dry hair.

ed, self-addressed envelope with

IT OCCURS TO ME
WORK WOULD COST
$700 TO $800
By LIN MILLS
Taylor Press News Editor
CITIZENS AND citizen-sold-
iers will eat barbecue together
Monday. The citizens will be the
hosts, showing their apprecia-
tion to the Guardsmen for their
voluntary work with the Christ-
mas decorations.
“This is about the least we
can do to show our apprecia-
tion,” said Ray Lewis, one of
the businessmen promoting the
event. “All we’re doing is buy-
ing a meal for the boys.”
He went on to comment on
what their work saves the town
in terms of dollars and cents.
“If they didn’t put up and
take down the lights, the work
could cost the merchants be-
tween $700 and $800, and I
doubt if they’d want to put up
that kind of money.
He got his figures from
Kenneth Mann, our C of C
president who is also an elec-
trical contractor. Lewis quoted
Mann as saying the work would
cost $700 to $800 if you hired
37 or 38 men (the number of
Guardsmen who helped) to do
the work in one night or one
day. If the job were strung out
over a longer period it would
cost more than that . . .
EVER NOTICE how some
bosses train their secretaries to
answer the phone so as not to
let the caller know they’re out
drinking coffee?
Like the other day when I
was calling an out-of-town
wheel.
“Taylor calling Mr. Blank,”
the operator said.
“Mr. Blank is not in right
now,” replied the boss’ secre-
tary.
“When do you expect him
back?” asked the operator.
“Oh, just a little while,” re-
plied the secretary.
“Can he be reached at an-
other number?” asks the opera-
tor.
“Well, not right now,” re-
plies tire secretary. “May I
take a message?”
ONE OF THE gol-durndest
things I ever saw on TV was
Vice President Lyndon Johnson
wearing that silk' stovepipe hat
at the inauguration.
I couldn’t have been more
shocked to see Roy Rogers
wearing a similar “lid” while
galloping across the screen on
his trusty hoss.
Lyndon’s “trademark” is his
western-type hat. I hope he
never has to wear that stove-
pipe job again, or if he does
I hope I don’t see him in it. . .
IN LOOKING THROUGH
some of last January’s news-
papers, I ran across this story
I thought was interesting:
“A special corporation court
for Taylor is expected to get
out of the talking stage and in-
to the actual planning stage
when the city commission holds
its first regular meeting of the
year Tuesday at 7 p.m. at City
Hall.
“A report is expected on ways
and means of setting up the
special court divorcing this
judgship from the duties of
City Manager F. R. Cromwell.
An investigating committee
was appointed two months ago.”
Of course, this is something
that has been talked for years,
and perhaps one day it will yet
come to pass . . .
I’VE HEARD MORE people
ask, “When is it coming? We
haven’t had any real winter
weather yet? These nice sun-
shiny days are deceiving us.
Spring is still a long way off.
We’re bound to get a lot of
nasty weather before this win-
ter is over.”
Do you suppose that’s true?
Or could we just for once get
by without a layer of ice or a
whole lot of slush?

FINDING THE WAY
We Need Extra Power
BY RALPH W. X.OEW, P.D. ~
Written for Newspaper Enterprise Assn.1
Mark Twain once wrote a
delightful yarn about a steam-
boat that had enough steam to
move or enough steam to blow
its whistle. But there was not
enough steam to do both of
those things at the same time.
. There are two youngsters
who walk past our home on
the way to school. When they
become involved in lively chat-
ter, they stop to talk. Then
they walk. They don’t seem to
have enough steam for both
activities at the same time.
In this world of computers
and mathematical propositions
no one has correctly estimated
the amount of “steam” in an
individual. Our real problem is
that we think that we have
enough steam of our own and
enough moral resourcefulness
for any problem. What differ-
ence does it make if we be-
lieve in God or not? Why
should we express any depend-
ence upon God? We can make
it on our own. Or so we think.
Yet in the tight places, there
is the knowledge deep within
us that none of us possesses
enough steam to handle those
enormous situations.
A Russian wrote a bit of
verse (perhaps it was more
poetic in its original than in
translation):
“And here we have our Sput
niks
“No secret this newborn planet
“But this symbol of intellect
and light
“Is made by us
“And not by the God of the
Old Testament.”
There’s just enough showing
between those lines to reveal
a troubled conscience.
He is right, too. There is so
much here that not been made
by the God of the Old $nd the
New Testaments. The scheming
of clever people trying to do
things on their own is not of
God’s making. Nor is the dis-
tortion of language by diaboli-
cal minds, making our world
into a devilish Babel.
The enslavement of minds
and the tyrannizing of peoples
is no handiwork of God. The
decimation of nations and the
imprisonment of men because
of their faith is no act of God.
But then, these are not “sym-
bols of light” either. In our
time we have learned again
how evil evil can be.
The other day I went to the
hospital to make a call. I
pressed the elevator button be-
fore I noticed the little sign
announcing that the elevator
was out of commission. Along
with other visitors I trudged
to the fourth floor.
We are so quickly lifted by
our gadgets that we forget that
we might ever need some
steam of our own to climb. We
live in a time when even the
phrase, “under your own
steam,” is antiquated.
Only that man who has
enough reverence to be hum-
ble, enough openness of mind
to receive the guidance of God
beyond him, enough courage to
know his own limitations, and
enough faith to see the possi-
ble goal, only such a man will
find the empowerment for his
dreams.
When a man stands alone—
trying it under his own steam^P
—he is indeed alone. i
When he stands in the knowl*
edge of the presence of God,
he is not indulging in a mental
trick. There, he knows that “of
myself I can do nothing; with
. Him l can do allthings,”
