The work to be done calls for
removal and relocation ‘of a portion of two shop buildings and
rehabilitation of the remaining
portions, removal and relocation
of two other shop buildings and
construction of new administrative offices in the relocated buildings. The work also requires construction of pavings, utilities and

‘organization’s ea ectitanaed
that the bill set up procedure
“heavily slanted to enhance the
position of a union, rather than
the protection of the rights of
employees, employers, or the
general public.”
A second bill on labor union
reform, introduced by Senator
Stephen P. Teale, West Point
edly as having “nothing to do
with ‘union reform’,”The analysis noted that the
Taft-Hartley Act has been in
operation now for over 11 years,
has been tested in action and in
some areas amended to fit existing conditions.”
“It therefore offers a‘ convenient measuring device against
which this proposed California
legislation can be compared,’ the
report said.
After a critical review of the
precise language of the “labor-.
reform’ proposals, the report concluded: :
“It might be noted that where
the Taft-Hartley Act provides for
a representation election procedure it also provides detailed and
fair protections of the rights of
workers, unions, and employers.
It is fair to say that those protective provisions, or anything
similar to them, have been omitted from this proposed act. . .
“In most, if not all instances,
it is also fair to say that each
change is heavily slanted to enhance the position of a union,
rather than the protection of employee, employer, or the general
public.”

Among the Normans, the word
“galantin” referred to a lover of
the fair sex—probably a wolf, according to present day terminol. ogy. But the word often was writ. ten and pronounced “valentin.”
By a natural confusion of
names, the Christian martyr was
established as the patron saint
of sweethearts, and his name
given to the Roman festival at
which young men and women
chose partners for the coming
year.
Some historians argue, however, that there is another explanation for giving the name St.
Valentine’s Day to the Roman
holiday.
The eatty Christian fathers often had difficulty wiping out pagan’ festivals. Sometimes they
simply appropriated the festivals
and gave them a Christian meaning. The church fathers may have
taken over the Roman holiday,
which was celebrated on February 15, and named it after three
saints named Valentine, whose
feast day fell on February 14,
