THANKSGIVING With only Tennessee and Arkansas observing Thanksgiving Day November 29 this year, instead of a week-earlier as the other states will, it appears that peace is practically assured on this forgotten front. The dissenters, who numbered five last year, now seem hardly enough to keep the controversy alive. Six years ago Thanksgiving was the subject of a nationwide controversy. In mid-August 1939 President Rooseve!t announced that in order to extend the holiday shopping period between Thanksgiving and Christmas he would proclaim the former a week earlier. Legally his authority was limited to the District of Columbia consegenntly the governors of the state reacted in various ways. There were protests from the public and football coaches too. Colleges objected because of interefence with vacation and scheduled games. Historians pointed out that. Thanksgiving had been observed on a variety of days. Senator Norris of Nebraska proposed to combine it with Armistice Day. The result was ‘that 23 states complied with the presidential request; 25 others—including Massachusetts—did not.—Contributed. OUR DILAPIDATED HIGHWAYS The swelling flood of protests throughout the state over éxasperating travel conditions on dilapidated and over crowd-. ed highways indicates a current traffic problem more serious than any faced in California since the automobile first made good roads a prime necessity of every day life. Accidents mount. State Highway Patrol Chief Cato asks for additional patrolmen in order to prevent snarls and stops on the San Fr&ncisco, Oakland bridge. Traffic bottlenecks are équally serious in heavily populated Southern California, where the lack of freeways is acutely felt and motorists are held for miles on end to the slow pace of heavy trucks on highways that should be several lanes wider. In rural California téo many of the main farm to market highways are in deplorable condition. ' Basically the problem is three fold: Abnormal war time traffic caused serious highway deterioration. The increase in bus and truck transportation has made many existing highways and bridges inadequate for all motor traffic.°“And California has lagged behind other states in highway planning, to lose her once proud leadership in good roads. The joint legislative committee now planning a state wide overhaul! appears wise in estimatig the job at its full magnitude —a 10 year undertaking that must be well balanced, soundly financed and soundly engineered. New conditions require a revamping of the tax program so that commercial truck lines and all who use the highways will carry their fair share of building and maintenance costs. And conditions call for the best in construction engineering for faster, heavier traffic in coming years. Complete overhaul and extension may take years—but a beneficial beginning might be the speediest possible repair -of war battered surfaces and the development of an equitable and sound financia! base for the long term program. Dilapidated highways are a for invitation to tourists, a poor advertisement of this state and a constant vexation to our own motorists.—Contributed. WORLD. PEACE ; On two continents American: leadership continues to ~svoice appeals for world cooperation in the building of-a lastinfg and durable peace. Far off in occupied Germany General Eisenhower in a speech accepting the Freedom Home award declared that the liberal of the peoples of the world cannot “thrive under conditions of perpetual or frequent global conflict." Here in American President Truman reiterated the statement when he told an audience: “We cannot stand another global war. We can’t ever have another war unless it is a totafkwar and that means the end of our civilization as we know it. We are not going to do that. And we are going forward to meet our destiny which . think Almighty God intended for us to do.” In spite of the failure of the foreign ministers meeting in London in spite of the growing truculence so obvious in the attitude of our war allies and in spite of the mounting unrest in many parts of the world, America must point the way to world amity. We have a great stake in this future world. The hopes of our citizens and the sacrifices made by our fighting men on battlefields of World War II demand it. Civilization must not fail in this great task ahead and America cannot fail in her leadership—Salt Lake Tribune. A MAN’S OPPORTUNITY CAN NOT BE SAVED . Some years ago an anonymous writer in Harper's Magazine laid down a rule “for success’’ which has been quoted extensively because the more you think about it, the more true it becomes. The writer said: “The solution of the personal money question lies neither in saving nor in not saving: the true solution is to forget money utterly and concentrate all one’s thought and energy upon the wise spending of time up-on that chosen work which seems interesting and important regardless of reward. If the spending of time is handled with common sense, the smaller problem—the ‘money question— which is inescapably involved in it will be settled at the same moment. “Any simpleton can save up his dollars, but the wisest of men cannot save up opportunities. They must be used as they come.’’—Contributed. THE LAST ARMISTICE DAY? In proclaiming Armistice Day on November . . , 1919, Woodrow Wilson spoke as if, prophetically, he were addressing the veterans and public of World War II as well as the victorious nation of a quarter century ago. “The war showed us the strength of great “nations acting together for high purpose,’ Piston Wilson said, “‘and the victory of arms foretells the enduring.conquests which can be made in peace when nations act justly and in furtherance of the common interests of men. To us in America the reflections of Armistice Day will be filled with solemn pride in the heroism of those who died in the country’s service and with eratitude for the victory, both because of the thing from which it has freed us and because of the opportunity it has given America to show her sympathy. with peace and justice in the councils of the nations.” Veterans of both world wars fought in the hope their victory would lead.to eternal banishment of war. that The heroes of 1917-18 were mocked when their Armistice Dav! eventnally signified the precise meaning of armistice—‘‘a temporary suspension of hostilities.’’ Heroes of the war just won will be mocked if their costly triumph comes in time to mean another mere period of armistice in a world where nations and races cannot—or will. not—live in peace with each other. All of these veterans have so much in common that it seems probable they will decide together when peace is officially declared, upon a new annual holiday for mutual observance and comradship. If they do the date of the holiday or its title, will not be of first importance. It will be of first importance that the day connote and inspire the determination of all Americans that there shall never be another war—never, for ourselves or for posterity another armistice day—Contributed. 2 MORE LEISURE—OR MORE MONEY? The basic answer to the national storm of disputes and strikes over hours and wages appears to be this: How much should a man work to hit the happy mean of getting the most out of life—the maximum standard of living with the minimum of work that will: make that standard possible. Many labor leaders offer this answer: The only way to provide plenty of jobs, and at the same time sustain takehom pay levels, is to hike hourly wages skyward—as high as 30 per cent and set the work week at 40 hours, or 35 or even 30 \\ hours. An experienced major employer, C. E. Wilson, president of General Motors, goes part way with that thesis. He’s for pay raises to maintain take home levels, but against a shortened week. For his own industry he proposes higher pay through making more autos to sell to bring in more money to pay wagegs. He’s for a 48 hour week, with 45 hours at a raise of 5 to 8 per cent, and three hours of overtime pay. He emphatically declares that this program with its high takehome pay, could not be sustained on a 40 hour week, and adds: “If we should go on down to a 20 hour week, we would all starve— and that is independent of how much you pay and how you juggle the money.’ Or as Harold Boeschenstein, glass manufacturer and WPB official states this view: ““You can have an abundance of leisure right now or you can have an abundant life. But you can't have both.” Every man, some one has said is as lazy as he dares to be. But it appears that all Americans—butcher, baker, candlestick maker and all their employes—have one choice in this factual world.
