In line with its earlier contention that it | not | is the responsibility of management, unions, to handle such Motors was not able to zovernment nor matters, General accept the recommendation. Distribution of earnings has been a function of management in America un- der the system that has been sucessful in making this country great. The union’s persistent attempts to bring ability to pay into the discussions, prior to and in the period of the Fact-Finding Board’s acti- vity, have been especially noticeable. It has been an endeavor to bring into the negotiations a factor that would give the union a definite priority in the sharing of earnings of industry, at the ultimate ex- pense of the purchasing public as well as the investor or owner of the business. As both the union and the company have pointed out, the basic issue in this particular dispute is more than wages. It is who is going to run the business, whether the union’s rights include a hand in in- dustrial planning, and whether America is going to make a change in its free com- stem through gov- petitive enterprise s) ernment direction. ABOUT MAGNA CHARTA During the war, the Library of Con- gress kept for safe-keeping a copy of the Magna Charta which was wrested from King John at Runymede in 1250. Now that hostilities have and no unusual danger exists England, the famous parchment has been returned to the Brit- ish. When the famous document was de- livered to the British representative, he, called attention to the fact that this is the “fore-father” of the British and American Bills of Rights, the American Habeas Cor- pus Act and the Declaration of Independ- He pointed out that the Constitution the United States contains many of its provisions and of its actual words and that our Constitution, in turn, has been the model for other constitutions in other ands.

Forty-two days have passed since the bonds were approved on December 11, and the first papers, with a view to vali- dation, have not yet been filed in circuit court. After those papers are filed, the state attorney’s office must be given what the court will deem to be adequate time to file an answer, contesting the proceed- ings. “Nothing has been done yet,” Clem C. Price, chairman of the central beach committee, said yesterday, and added that he and other members of the committee will appear at the next meeting of the county commission, requesting that action be started to determine the ‘validation of the bonds. Mol s in winter time moves faster than legal proceedings in some instances. Dickens’ 25-year-old case of Jaundyce versus Jaundyce is emulated at times in courts in our country, even though quarter-century mark may not be reached. Instances are many of simple cases that haye been drawn out for years, but the blame should be placed where it be- longs, not on the courts but on attorneys with their interminable delays. Far be it from us to intimate that all lawyers are slowpokes. We know several in Key West who are up-and-doing, and one who is a livewire, so much so we have advised him that it would be wise for him to slow up his pace if he does not wish to run the risk of collapsing. But, generally speaking, law, in its manifold ramifications, moves exasperat- ingly slow to the layman. Religion, which should be a bond of peace, is often one of the most dangerous of topics to discuss, You can more readily comprehend the difficulties of international agreements when you comtemplate the wide differ- ences of opinion expressed in this country during a political campaign. AMERICA SHOULD RULE THE WAVES Our Merchant Marine now has 4,422 ships, and an official statement indicates that we*have 2,710 Liberty ships. Admiral Land, retiring chairman of American shipping affairs, says that the Liberty ships must be kept ready for use in case some foreign nation should get to acting up in Mussolini-Hitler style, even though it might cost seven to ten million dollars a year. ‘“That’s chicken feed considering they are worth five billion dollars; it’s an insurance policy against another war,” declared Land. From another interested source comes the following: “Why sell any of our ships to outside It’s like breaking a fellow in a crap game and then lending him $10.” At one time England had ships on every sea. Germany crept up on the ians and threatened to out- smart tl competition: “The United weakling ‘tntil after World Out ‘country needs new blood in American shipping—men who understand that the United States should be the World leader in merchant shipping. Much of the nation’s economic trouble can be explained by one word—selfish- nes In the dispatches during recent weeks appeared the word “Jehol”, capital city of Jehol province. There is nothing un- usual about this statement except the pro- nunciation of the name, which is “Rayho”’. Lowell Thomas pronounces it correctly, but none of the other news commentators the writer has heard. OUR FUTURE AT STAKE “The future ef our country now is as much at.stake as it was in the days of the war,” declares President Truman in con- nection with his assertion that demobiliza- tion is proceeding as rapidly as a critical, inescapable need for troops overseas will permit. - What the Chief Executive has in mind, no doubt, is the development of the mob spirit in the ranks of the Army. | There have been several instances where troops have demonstrated against officers and leaders and Congress itself accelerat- ed the discontent by permitting a dis- gruntled soldier to sound off before one of its committees. j Chapter 11 PARBARA was standing at the foot of the stairs, waiting for Edith. She had several garments thrown over her arm. “Whit left: word,for you sto come to the barns immediately,” she smiled. “He' says it’s very important! I imagine he may be wanting to give you that riding lesson he promised you, So ’'m wondering if you’d be willing to wear something of mine—you said you hadn't brought riding togs.” Edith put her hand impulsive- ly on Barbara's arm, touched by the kindness of her tone. “That's awfully sweet of you, Barbara. But why don’t you come along with me? You can help pick me up when I fall off!” “Td like to, really, but there are some things here at the house I must attend to. Perhaps j some day we’ll have a good ride together.” “Oh, I hope so!” Barbara smiled again and went on her way and Edith took the clothes to her room to try them on. A short time later when she joined Whit at the barn office she was wearing Barbara’s gray jodhpurs and a scarlet silk shirt. Whit was talking to his train- er, Clay Elliott when Edith came in. “Hello!” Whit ¢alled, surveying her delightedly. “Clay, here, has picked out a horse he thinks you may have to ride, and I’m all set to show you how it’s done. How do you feel about it?” “A little scared,” Edith ad- mitted. “This may be a little dif- ferent from the brand of riding taught at Rene’s Select Riding Academy!” A shadow crossed Whit’s face. “You mean to tell me you al- ready know how to ride?” Clay Elliott laughed. “You're breaking his heart, Miss Lacey. He’s been looking forward to moment for weeks!” I imagine there were a great many things I didn’t learn!” Edith smiled. “But I want to go around the stables again. How’s Gallant Lady? You know, since you told me she is in foal to Theo, the Great, I've decided on a name for the baby, Whit!” Whit’s black eyes sparkled. “You don’t mean to tell me!” “Yes. If it’s a boy we'll call him ‘Great Theo,’ and if it should be a girl, we could name her }‘Theodora.. How does that sound?” ’ Whit and Clay were convulsed with laughter. “If it’s a boy or a girl!” Clay chortled. “And of course you’d have to get the Jockey Club’s approval——” “You mean, we can’t name the baby anything we want to?” “Oh, we can name it all right, but then——” Whit interrupted. “Skip it, Clay. In Edith’s state of ignorance there would be no use in going into detail about_the duties of the Jockey Club. Come on, Edith, let's take a look at your horse. You can see Gallant Lady later on.” Edith fell in love at once with the little chestnut mare, Nancy, they had chosen for her to ride Whit said, “She shies sometimes at unexpected things, but if you’re careful she won’t cause you any trouble. Come on, now, show us what you learned at that swank academy!” Edith swung easily into the saddle and smiled down at them. They rode off with Whit in the Jead on his big black horse, down the lane between ifs white fences, and out onto the black ribbon of turnpike. “T’ve got to see one of the ten- ants a couple of miles down the road. We might as well go there,” Whit said. Whit turned into a lane leading to his tenant’s house. Edith fol- lowed on Nancy, the mare’s fat sides soft and cushiony between her legs. She waited outside while Whit talked to Mrs. John- son about some business he had with her husband. When he came out he was scowling angrily. “Johnson’s drunk again and un to no-telling what devilment! I've got to find him. Sorry, but I guess this ends our ride for today. Think you can find your way back alone?” “Of course. We came straight down the road, didn’t we?” “Right. And I guess you're safe enough with Nancy.” His teeth “T still think it was a x, though. Not letting now you already knew how to ride.” “Please forgive me. I thought it would be fun to surprise you!” “Well, run along—and take i easy. Tell Barbara I can’t tell when I'll be back.” DITH turned back the way she had come while Whit rode off across the fields. How strange it was to be in this quiet, peace- ful country! It was almost as if she had literally been picked up | and transported to another world. She rode leisurely along the road, marveling at the scarcity of travel. She knew this was not a main highway, but remembered that they had not encountered a single car or truck since they had left Roselands. She did not know when she | first began to notice that her saddle was not secure, but after | a time she realized it was | beginning to slip Dismounting she discovered t the buckle on the crupper had broken and the strap that pa: under Nancy’s tail, holding saddle firm, was dangling. Well, there was nothing to do but wait until someone came along. “Tl wait a while and.if no one comes I guess I'll just have to walk and lead' Nancy back to Roselands,” sha, reflected. | She began. to. grow drowsy and slipped to the: ground, leaning her back as t the stone wall. Then in the the sound of a c and a truck came top. As it drew nearer she hat it was a truck filled with the man When he drew up oppo: he stopped the truck, got down from his driver’s seat and came toward her. For some unaccount- able reason she felt a little pulse of tement beating in her throat. To be continued Your Horoscope JANUARY 23, 1946—This is a degree of perseverance under tri- al.
