Of all the great nations on this troubled earth America enjoys to the fullest extent the freedom for which our forefathers fought, bled and died. We have the right to think what we please, to say what we please ln decency and to publish what we please. It is a far cry from i America to European. dictatorships where even the expression of an opinion has been ,, made a crime. This freedom of ours was dearly won, and it must be religiously fostered and All the guarded if it is to be maintained. advocates of dictatorships do not live in foreign lands. We must not forget that some of. ks against true freethe dom have been made in the name of de- mocracy,. There are those ln this nation who would attempt in Ihe name of "emer- gency" to place shackels upon the American people. They work by devious means, and clear thinking and true patriotism are nevesnary to keep America in the right path. The call to keep the American way of life was never more important thanit is today. Patrick Henry once said: "No free government, or the blessings of liberty, can be preserved to any people hut by a firm adherence to )ustice, temperance, frugality and virtue, and by a frequent recurrence to fundamental principles." i 1 I . ea ..

Only 12 bad a record of going through a red light, while a much greateenumber of those with normal vision had tickets for this offense. Of three persons who could not distinguish between the position of lights, two were found to be suffering from a severe degree of and the third from dementia and paralysis of the insane l It Is explained that eyesight means that the person so affected does not have a wide angle of vision, but out of the 716 subjects Doctor Selling examined there were only five who had a vision angle of less than 110 degreesa sufficient range for safe driving. ' Drivers of cars can usually determine for themselves if they have any eye defects or other disabilities which render them unfit to driye a car, but notwithstanding, it seems to us that every driver of a motor vehicle should be required-t- o undergo a physical examination every 12 months. In spite of all that is being done, the auto death and accident rate Is still so appalling that greater precautions should be taken for the protection of life and . property.

Thus to a visitor to the lithe school did the teacher characterize a little boy who at dull and listless in a far corner of the room. The visitor SMIINI, but said nothing. After a brief talk to the class, hemade his -way down the aisle to the desk of the dull' boy, laid .his hand upon the youngster's head. and said in a kindly voice, -- Don't be troubled, my boy, by what people say. Some day you may be a great scholar. Try hard. and keep On trying. Don't be discouraged." This gingle word of encouragement, corning out of a barrage of accusations of 'stuacted pid," "dullard," upon the spirit of the lad like drops of rain upon a fading flower. Suddenly his ambitions were aflame, his heart was stirred with a new hope. "I 1011 show them! I w ill show them!" he told himself again and again. -- I will show them there is something in me!" Inspired by the kindly encouragement of one who' now is nameless, the boy became the famous Dr. Adam Clark, author of the great;Commentary on the Bible and other important works.

But it tiedsion just rendered by the National Labor Relatione Board has raised the question of whether workers really have freedom , of action in making their collective bargaining contract. or whether the will of a goyernment board in 'Washington may be itnposed upon them to tell them what they can do. Twenty years ago, the employes of the Weetern Union Telegraph Company formed a union. The Labor Board says It Is a "corn- panv union" in the sense that the employer is alleged to dominate It or help 'Mance it. The law prohibits that type of company union, but does not forbid a unioh of employes wholly independent of the employer as well as of national unions. The only requirement is that the employer shall not interfere with the freedom of choice by the employee. Then ,there arises a minority group of employes who want to form another union, usually to be affiliated or integrated with the AFL or the CIO. The first line of attack is to break down the independent union. The Wagner Labor Law furnishes a ready weapon. If proof can be offered that the independent union at one timeperhaps as far back as 20 years ago, long before the law was passedwas formed with the aid of the employer, it becomes tainted in the eyes of the board and is ordered to be "disestablished." For three years now, the Labor Board has been ordering "company UniOnR" in various businesses to be disestablished. But now, in a case just decided, the board has ordered the employer to refund all the dues collected on behalf of the independent union through the company's deductions from payroll each week since 1935. No consideration is given to the fact that the money may have been legitimately spent for the carrying on of the independent union's affairs The wukers have nothing to say about the labor Board order and thus a relationship which grew up long before the Wagner Act was passed is now held to be unlawful. The penalty or remedy in this instance need not have been the one selected by the labor board. It could have selected another means-o- f accomplishing the same end. That it had the right to impose a penalty of its own selection is conceded because the Congress gave broad disci:etionary powers to the board to fix almost any economic punishment it pleases, subject to court review. But Congress also has the right to amend th'e labor law and state specifically just what the , p'enalties are to be. .. In this and other instances, the question will arise why the labor board did not merely '' put the matter up to the workers by a secret ballot. If the employees felt that the existing independent union served their needs, they could say so in a ballot and give legal ratification to the existing union. If the workers wished to let the dues payitients stand and declare a new slate from a fixed future date,' when an election would be held, they likewise could have been permitted to express that wish in a secret ballot or referendum. The labor board, however, does not consult the wishes of the workers in that manner. It merely orders the union disestablished and dues refunded and requires that the company accord recognition to a. new union if one is created representing a majority, or to .withhold- recognition from any .group until a uniOn is forined. ,TAis ,ustially Coincides e". with the afortsof union organizers from the - 1111811P ''' '. 7: vv....L.i,- , '' 2-'-'---1- ., BY DAVID LAWRENCE ' --t ' War-Onty,- oth,ttif-Tr- - ., WHAT READERS Editor Deseret News: it isa pity to see how little in. terest is shown in this State toward the Townsend Plan. whim in,consequence is so little under, i rfii,,!' . the present Regrets Indif ferenee To Townsend Plan Here '' '41i - atm - ..,... st -- -- 'N., ,,,,,,,,,,,,,...,..
