The third feature insures that no employe who participates fully in the plan through January 1, 1961. will receive less than he would have under present committments.” Auer pointed out that in only a few isolated instances for certain income levels would that last feature be important, but that the company intends to make certain that in every instance if an employe participates fully in the new program, he will be at least as well off under the new program as he would -have been under previous committments. 1 GE Rejects UE Proposal General Electric has also announced that it has rejected a proposal of the United Electrical, Radio and Machine Workers of America to forego each of the committed pay increases for both this year and next year if the company would agree to a shorter work week with no commensurate reduction in pay. A company spokesman pointed out, "UE’s proposal — which amounts to an offer to sacrifice roughly a 7% pay increase in order to get roughly a 14% pay increase—is one that obviously would increase the company's costs beyond present committments and thus would be injurious to al) concerned, including UE represented General Electric employes.” The company spokesman said, “We have explained to the UE representatives. as we have many times before to the UE, to other unions, to our employes, and to the general public, that anything which further increases costs beycnd our

Any such course of action clearly would be gravely injurious to those General Electric employes on the job who want to stay working as well as to those who are on layoff and want to start working again on the jobs created by the sales that result frorp offering attractive values. / Negotiations to Continue Negotiations between General Electric and the UE are scheduled to continue in New York. As previously announced, an agreement has been reached between GE and the UE whereby the increases scheduled for September 15 under the terms of the present contract were deferred until September 30. This agreement was reached in order to permit additional time for discussions and negotiation's.

The food tent did a “land office” business, serving more than 120 pounds of fish and 50 pounds of ham in sandwiches, and countless hotdogs. Home-madp pies were also a popular feature, Mrs. Orval Neuenschwander, chairman, said. The cake walk netted more than SIOO on home-made cakes donated by wives of the volunteer firemen, rural firemen, and Lions club members. Thirty women are working in the food stand, in the town hall and fire department building, each day. helping serve the food oh different shifts. A dozen rides, including those for adults like the Roll-o-plane, fer- ! ris wheel, octopus, and Others, in addition to the children’s rides, are ! at the fair this year.

TRUMAN SCORES (Continued from pa Ke one >_ of war and awful means of destruction.” He said it was too bad “we have not made much progress in developing ways by which men and nations can live together in peace.” To meet the “cold, hard realities of the world situation today,” Truman said, “we must marshal our total national strength—all of our resources.” . “This requires that we use our resources to the utmost—no idle men and factories: that we build and build our defenses and our economic base. This kind of mobilization requires leadership —it requires leadership that you won't get from the Republicans. You can only get it from the Democrats.” Lauds Hartke Truman praised Hartke for “campaigning the way it ought to be done, and it looks to me as if he’s going to win.” Indiana, said the ex-President should be a Democratic state. “The Democrats have done more for the people of this state than the Republicans have ever thought of doing,” he said. ' “The Republicans have done things to the people of Indiana, not for them.” Truman lauded Hartke’s “excellent record as mayor of Evansville.” He also spoke highly of the Democratic nominees for Congress. especcally' incumbents Bay Madden and Winfield Denton. “They are fine and able Congressmen," said Truman. Hartke introduced Truman to the big dinner and rally crowd. He said that Hoosiers will take a cue this year from the life of the former president. "IJarry Truman always has been a man of high principle.” Hartke said. “Harry Truman always is a man who tells people where he stands and why. And Harry Truman is a fighter,” he said. “Like Harry Truman was in 1948,” he continued, “we in Indiana this year are underdogs. "But, like the Truman of 1948, we will tell the truth. We will fight hard. And we will win by doing this,” he said. The average Amcricdh family owned $8,300 worth of life insurance in 1957.

WHERE can we find God? In church, yes; in the great out-of-doors, yes. In prayer in the quiet •oom, or under the mighty far-off stars. God is everywhere. But is God in business ? We don’t mean,.is God doing business? He always is, of course. We mean, is

Dr. Foreman

God in the business life of our time? la he on the stock exchange, is he in attendance at board meetings of great corporations, fs he in the little country stores, is he in horse trades or

on used-car lots? “The Economy” is a phrase used so often nowadays that even teen-agers must know in general what it means. “The Economy” is today’s jargon for all the financial doings that keep our industrial and agricultural wheels going, the word includes those four pillars of all business anywhere any time: production, marketing, accounting and finance. Is God in the economy of America? Simple Honesty Now it might be that not a reader of this column is a “business man." For all that, every reader is engaged in business some way or other part of the time. “Money isn’t everything, but money's into everything." If we live, breathe and eat groceries, we are connected, more or less, with the vast web of buying, selling, owning, renting, earning, spending (yea and wasting, which is economics gone mad), all of which we lump together under the head of “The Economy" or just "economic life." Let us think not of something big, something a congressman might plan for. Let us think of economics on Main Street, at the supermarket, on the bus, maybe our few dollars at the bank. Let’s forget about the hundreddollar bills and think about small change. C , Are we honest about all these things ? Does our religion affect the way we price what we have to sell (if only a few eggs or bales of hay) ? Do we make honest statements about what we buy and sell ? The command of God is: “Thou shall not steak" Nothing said about “Thou shalt not steal a whole lot,” or “Thou shalt not steal unless thou canst get by with it”! Taking any kind of advantage of any other person (or corporation, for that matter) so that they are the poorer for what you did, is stealing. Is H a tin te be rich? \ There are so many condemnations of rich people in the Bible, that some readers of it have the impression that God condemns rich people just because they are rich. This is not true. A more careful reading shows that whenever a wealthy person is denounced in the name of God, is isn’t because of his wealth, by itself. There are too many highly-praised persons of wealth in the Bible to allow us to believe that wealth is a sin, period. The point irnoU How much do you have? or, What is the amount, in dollars, which is the limit a good Christian can have? The point is: How did you get what you have? Jesus’ brother James calls down doom on certain rich farmers, not because they had money but because their wealth was gained by underpaying their hired men. Making money by making men poor is stealing, and sin. Is this spirit possible? Saint Peter gives us what is better than a rule: he tells us the right kind of spirit that a Christian ought to have. Our gifts, he writes, are to be employed “for one another;" service is to be rendered in such as to glorify God. We all feel that this is the right spirit for “church work.” But is it practicable to take this same spirit into business, into our economic life ? Is it possible, in business transactions, to serve one another for the glory of God? This is a vital question. If we have to say No, it is not practicable, then we are saying that we can be Christian only in our leisure time, not our workingtime. If we want to live as Christians around the dock,' throughout the week, then we shall have to think out ways in which we can carry this spirit of devotion to God and man into the doHars-and-cents world. Can it be done? Bach reader is challenged to aoaka the exporiiMat,

idea, and cooperate with it if we will join our work with our thought. Frequently people will say “Why doesn't the church do this?” or “Why doesn’t the church do that?" not stopping to reflect that they themselves are part of the church, and that they are really talking about themselves when they talk about the church. If they really think a thing ought to be done, they have a responsibility to swing into action, and not just take it out in talk. It is easy enough to think of things which we would like for other people to do; the real test of our concern is whether we ourselves will give our work, along with our thoughts, and so make our ideas into deeds. We should be willing to work as well as suggest.
