Each time we do less than our best or use the union protection as a cover for complacency or mediocrity, we are taking our own digs at the cow that feeds us. Our management is asking only for fair competition, not a protection for poor productivity. Now, when the governmentis telling the plant whoto hire and fire and crippling activity with countless restrictions while abetting foreign competition, we must dedicate ourselves more than everto strengthen the cow that feeds us .

Trick-Treat Bag Feared Hazardous Editor Herald: This evening I took my family to a local hot dog G 3 restaurant for dinner, where a Halloween promotion for young children was being offered — a cartooncovered trick-or-treat bag. A near tragedy occurred when our notquite-three-year-old immediately tried to put the bag overher head to wear as a hat — the bag was made of thin plastic! The tears and hurt when we took the bag away from her were nothing compared to the prospect of losing our child because of a moment’s carelessness. It seems inconceivable to me that an item such as this could not be made of somesafe material such as paper.
