Two Lessons From Two Faces Elsewhere in this edition of The Star is printed, in connection with a Chicago special dispatch, the picture of Peter Budoff, aged 70. Also that of Alfred Carlson, not quite so old, but now a helpless invalid.» Study these pictures. For 38 years Budoff toiled in the damp cellars of one of the Morris & Co, packing plants, but he says he did not mind his work nor his surroundings, because he counted upon his payments into the company pension fund to insure him at least a comfortable living in his old age. Carlson worked over the Morris & Co. lard vats for al- most 30 years. Then an accident incapacitated him, and his payments into the company fund enabled him to quit work on a pension. But both Budoff and Carlson and several score others in their same fix were happy. They lived useful lives, worked hard, and earned their rest toward the end of their days. But all that is gone. Budoff wonders what is to come of him after next year. Carlson’s serenity has given way to a nervous fear of the future. The cause of it all was the decision of the financial powers behind the Armour-Morris merger that the Mor- ris pension fund was to be liquidated and discontinued as soon as present funds are exhausted, some time next year. Some 500 faithful Morris employes who paid regu- larly into the fund, expecting old-age insurance, are to be cast adrift, too old to work or to make a new start. That is—unless the courts overrule these same cold financial powers. There are these lessons to be learned from the study of these two faces and of the facts behind their sorrows. — First, company pension funds offer no real security against old age unless the funds paid in by the workers are placed with reliable insurance concerns under govern- ment supervision which guarantees that the money will not be misplaced, as was this Morris fund money. Second, company unions and company benefit plans are no real protection to the workers unless the workers themselves control and manage them. A “third genera- tion” of company owners can overthrow the good inten- tions and accumulations of the two previous generations with a flourish of the pen—witness this present Morris generation. os Reproach hath brokert my heart; and I am full of heaviness; and I locked for some to taka pity, but there was none; and for comforters, but I found none.—Ps, brix.:20. Hitting the ground is much easter than hitting a golf ball because the ground is so much larger. Many a father can't be stylish because his grown son doesn’t wear out his clothes quick enough. What this country needs {s an alarm clock that warms the room when it rings for you to get up. Shaving every morning Is bad, but not too bad. Count the money you save by doing it yourself.

You were a team of midgets, And you were darn good little midgets, Tam told, But, as Gil. mour Doble used to say when he coached football at the Unt versity of Washington, a good little man is never so good as a wood big man, So the other teams had you handicapped at the start, You played six gamos tn the elty championship series, And were beaten all wix of them, It perhaps wasn't so much fua to bo always beaten, But every Weok you reported the score at home with cheerful promptness And you didn't “allbi,"" You didn't complain because every other team wos made up of older, stronger boys, ‘That showed a good aptrit, son, Take what defeats you have to take with a smile, Furthermore, 1 while you were game you wero beaten tn the firnt matches by 71 and 6.0 scores, but in the final games by only 4-1 and 8.0 scores, ‘That shows me that while you didn't whimper over the early defeats, neither did you young: stera “Iny down’ or get discour- aged.

Rev Hawkins calls him cheap and unedu cated, and I suppose Hawkins never heard him (Kellogg) speak. I have, and enjoyed his sermons, and one reason why Is because ho under. stands the Scriptures and does not Rev. add to or take from, but accepts the ‘J whole, Does Rey, Hawkins think hin education will take him to heaven? Iam sure he hay committed a great ain in casting a stumbling block in the path of a young and anincere Chrintian, God has given Brother Kellogg the gift of healing and ho is using It, giving God the glory, and that Is according to holy Scriptures— he has the right Let Hawking read in First Corin. thians, 12 and 28, If he is thinking tt superstitious or a heathen prac: tice I hope he Is as good @ man as c.
