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.” NUHS. GRADUATE LEADS COLLEGE CLASS
A communication from Notre Dame College, Nelson, British eates that Hugh Montgomery, one of last year’s graduates’ here, leads the class for freshmen at that institution with a grade point of 3.52. ‘He is the seg ‘ef Mr. and Mrs. challenged historians to. -explain{ how a. Christian’ s ~ ‘became identified with a ‘pagan custom of Pe sige 0 tokens: of: ae The research department of The World Book Encyclopedia points out that at one time the letters “‘v” and “g” frequently were interchangeable in popular speech, 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, Banker Scholarships Are Now Available Scholarships in the amount of $200 are now available from the California Bankers Association, reports Doug Hamilton, Nevada County farm advisor.
