WORD AGAINST OURS," Raise Salaries Not Buildings In all of the discussions lately regarding increased taxes and-- bond issues for the schools there has-bee- no mention of increases in the salaries for teachers. A school is a place to acquire an education and a teacher is the person that gives the education. It is as simple as that. Fine new buildings are wonderful.. Beautiful tile floors, huge gymnasiums, large and spacious auditoriums, mordern and up to date offices and the very latest in all types of furniture and fixtures are all elements of schools that we should be proud of. But none of this is necessary to an education. Adequate fire protection, adequate heating facilities and good lighting with comfortable furniture and other more simple construction methods would save hundreds of thousands of dollars that could be applied on teachers salaries. It is with pride that we point out our beautiful school buildings and grounds but how often do we relate the wonderful educational advantages we give our children because of the highest paid and most efficient teachers? We don't because we can't. A person that learns from an exceptional teacher will have an exceptional advantage in life even though school may have been held in'a barn. Lets worry more about what we are teaching our children rather than if they are surrounded by the most luxurious buildings and furnishings. T.N. The Case of the Lost Secret Ballots MERLE RICHE The smoldering class resent-ment which builds up during strikes is perhaps the most negative and damaging aspect of such a dispute. Folks can manage to go along with one an-other all right as long as conditions are not critical. But when situations are ag-gravated by pro- - Tf . ) ft --W; longed labor trouble the worst in everybody's nature comes to the fore. Husbands, wives, children, relatives and neighbors get in the battle. Opinions are fixed, tongues fly, emotions get tattered, patience falters, hate grows and destruc-tion both physical and mental follows. After all, does not a woman owe her loyalty to her man? We know of wives who have volun-teered to wash walls and do house cleaning and even be willing to take on the work of weeding and cleaning up a large plot of ground- - jusi iv mane a inue money iu keep things going. And if she is willing to do this does she not also have the right to express her opinion regardless of what it may be? We know of men who have gone about accepting any kind of work, some of it far removed from that to which they, had been ac-customed but they felt the respon-sibility to make both ends meet. But what of the following? Here is an area that should be thorough-ly investigated and now. Just the other day a man came in and wanted some work. He said that he needed it. He also added during the conversation that there was hardly anybody who voted for the strike here in Utah and that when workers asked to see the votes they were told the votes had been lost. Have the votes been lost? Why not make public the results of the strike vote in both the large plants that are now on strike here in Utah? minimum wage. A great many people honestly believe that this was a good and necessary act, and that anything which betters the lot of the lowest paid workers deserves support. Yet, there is another side to the coin. The publication Economic Intelligence puts the problem in these words: "A worker is hired to make an economic contribution to the enterprise. If he is unable to produce additional service worth at least $1.25, he simply will not be hired." In other words, artifical jacking j up of the minimum wage produces I unemployment among the unskilled s workers whose productivity does ; not justify the higher rate. Then, at the same time, it deprives these workers of opportunities to learn skills that will qualify them for better paying jobs. Precisely the same thing will happen if the campaign to extend coverage of the minimum wage law to groups of workers who always have been exempt--suc- h as those in retailing--i- s suc-cessful. The employers affected will have no choice save to pare marginal employment to the limit. All the laws on earth can't change a worker's value to an enterprise. They can simply make it more difficult for him to find a job. Who Wont Be Hired Last July, the Senate Labor Subcommittee voted for an in-crease of 25 cents an hour from $1.00 to $1.25 in the federal Stout Jubilee Roundup "Now therefore, I George D. Clyde, Governor of Utah, do here-by proclaim the period of Sept-ember 10 to October 10 as Scout -- ing's Jubilee Round-U- p in Utah, and call upon all churches, insti-turion- s, service clubs, labor groups, chambers of commerce, and women's organizations to ac-tively participate in this recruit-ment program and to lend all possible energy, time, and effort toward the fulfillment of this goal for the benefit of our boys, our state, and our nation." (Signed) George D. Clyde, Governor of Utah. Scouting is making an appeal to the organizations enumerated in the Governor's message. "We need them to roll up their sleeves and lend actual assistance in rounding up boys, and in providing facilities and leadership. Frankly, FOUR BOYS out of NINE are not en-rolled in the Scout program. It's hich time cnrnmnniti.s anrl spon-soring institutions got a little bit alarmed and try to do something to assist these 'Lost Sheep'."

Boy Scouting has come a long way since its birthday in May, 1910, when the first annual meeting of the National Council was held at the Willard Hotel and the White House in Washington and was able to report a total membership of 61,495 boys and men. Today there are 27 million boys and nearly 9 million leaders enrolled in the Scouting movement. The Boy Scout Handbook has a circulation second only to the Holy Bible. In 50 years the group has brought untold advancement to the youth of the world, performing their daily good deed, saving lives, and serving their nation and their God. Scouting needs the determined effort of all potential sponsoring institutions; not just the churches, but our labor groups, our women's organizations, Veterans' Posts, Service Clubs, and every group that is working for better youth fitness and a stronger nation. Keep in Step With The Times "There's no point in worrying. All my life I cried when it was time to cry, I laughed when it was time to laugh, and I sang when it was time to sing." So said 101 year old Mrs. Marie Renier. Reminiscent she is of the an-cient ecclesiast whose words have lived for thousands of years: "To every thing there is a season, a a time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted; a time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up; a time to weep, and a time to laugh, a time to mourn, and a time to dance a time to embrace, and a time to re-frain from embracing; a time to get, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away; a time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace;" In other words "NOW" is the time to live. Those who live in the past are dead. Those who live in the future are inpractical. The present is all we have. As Henry Longfellow said in his "Psalm of Life"-- - "Act, act in the living present. Heart within, God o'erhead." South East Independent The South East Independent is entered as Second Class Matter, March 1, 1946, in Salt Lake City Post Office under the act of March 3, 1879.
