Labor Day —1962
We pay tribute to the working man on Mon la7 Sept 3. when
we observe Labor Day Virtually everybody is * working soar whether
or uo? he carries the tag of being ar industrialist or a capitalist
Organized labor has made great zams during the first half of
the century in the L" mi ted States The wage earner zii sever
fared better than he has for the par. two decades In so other coun
try is the world does the working mas or his family enjoy more
necessities and more comforts is his everyday mode of livirz That
is true m industries ranging from mining to fishing
He has had the benefit of friendly administrations on both the
national and local levels and in mor cases 3 cooperative spin; on
os the part of the employer
Sometimes orzarized labor has come perilously close to losing
all its gams by beisz excessive in its demarns To ere is a saturatios
point and whe*e there are so longer profits for the employer thre
is no longer a seed for the working mas or unions either
We believe it is time for organized labor to solidify its gains,
sot push them to z point of diminishing returns
It' a serious thought for organized labor in this year 1962 —

.1 takes 2 sensitive ear to reel
nine that a child is uttering a pro

She cites the comment of a ->
year-old who had discovered a map
of the United States “It's so hard
to imagine the world never ends
This is the moment to take ad
vantage of the child's awareness
with a follow-through conversa
tion. She suggests finding places on
the map whose names he's heard,
explaining that this is only the
map of his country, and enlarging
on his awareness of space
This way. he's learning geogra

Mrs Winsor says
Strategy use of the question

expose the kind of reasoning his
youngster is doing, and keeps the
parent abreast of the child. An au
thoritarian parent who knows bet

this communication, and conse

Teachers too are prone to tell
the child what to do. rather than
letting his comments open up a dis

unnerved if the remark can’t be
