In chess I have found happiness” Those words were spoken 35 years ago by Emmanuel Lasher of Berlin who had reigned as world chess champion for 24 years They were quoted by the Hon Samuel B Pettengill this week in an article entitled “Don’t Rob Your Children of Struggle: Our Youth Must Be Trained to Face Tomorrow’s Challenge” The following are some of Mr Pettengill’s observation: The instinct of fathers and mothers is to take struggle out of their children's lives —to make life easier “for my ' boy th" it was for me” It is interesting to note that youth is sounder in tins matter than age Youth revels" m competitive sport whether to do something better -tfcjjaltfaeUows or to beat some previous record Even sir)u children when they invent games of their own always put struggle into them Struggle is a blessing to be sought for not an evil to be avoided In recent years (this is still Pettengill talking) i society “has gone nuts” on the pusillanimous cult of “security” guaranteed by the government In short a nation of parasites The illusion of the age is that people can vote themselves rich It is a suppers tilion that "social security” depends on the promises of politicians not on the character competence and 'courage of men It is a fable and a fraud that the output of society can be greater than the input Of individuals It is a universal complaint that nobody wants to work ainy more— or only enough to get by Employers are frantic for 'dependable employes ‘ When some young people apply for their first jobs they ask: “When will I begin to draw a pension? How many coffee breaks in a day? Row many paid holidays? How long and frequent are the paid vacations? And if I work more than 40 hours a week do I get time and a half or double time?” The young men who ask none of these questions are sure to get and hold jobs Mr Pettengill believes They will have less competition than their kind of men ever ' had— and greater rewards - - THEODORE ROOSEVELT attracted national attention when he said: “I wish to preach not the doctrine of ignoble ease but the doctrine of the strenuous life Let me wear out not rust out” He told young men to hit the line hard At a time when any woman who had more than two children was considered a little indecent he told women not'to shrink their prime function to bear children A century ago Giuseppe Garibaldi appealed to the strong side of men with these words: “Young men of Italy I offer you nothing but the water of the streams1 as your drink I offer you nothing but block bread as your food and nothing but the blue canopy of heaven and the lights of the eternal stars as your covering at night But if you follow me young men of Itily you and I will be free!” They followed him and Italy became a united country -- But today Mr Pettengill fears the general appeal is to the soft side of men— envy self-pit-y covetousness class hatied Avoid struggle and life becomes sterile vapid and meaningless Our mental hospitals are being filled with thousands of neuroticsr many of whom feel inadequate to meet life because they were protected from taking the bumps in childhood No man was ever greater than the difficulties he over- -' came From struggle comes strength and physical and mental health ff ' 11 I West Germany Readies Great Welcome For Ike Wednesday BONN Germany (UPI) — West German leaders today were preparing a tumultuous welcome for President Eisenhower when he arrives here Wednesday on a visit they hailed as a demonstration of U S determination to defdhed West Germany's interests in his talks with --the Soviet Union ' Government officiate said the President who arrives for a slay would receive a welcome exceeding the commander of the great Allied force that gave Germany Its most disastrous military defeat 14 yean ago but ha returns Wednesday as the protector of freedom from Communism In the Western half of the nation Eisenhower- and West German Chancellor Konrad Adenauer will discuss the problem of dealing with Communism for 8H hours ’ - i at -- ai -- 1 a peace treaty with Germany In 1924 divers located 35 million dollars of the treasure aboard ” the sunken British warship signed -- “Leu-rentlc- In 1939 bomb shelters were installed to the grounds of Buckingham Palace In 1944 American troops captured Paris !
