Summer Accomplishments Fifty years ago the ten or twelve children in a family didn’t have to worry "About what they were going to do during the hot summer months. The boys knew only too well that they would be expected to help with the ' regular farming or business chores; the girls helped in the kitchen and garden, long before automatic washers and dryers, or insecticides and rototillers were heard of. Today the program has been different. Occupations, from business or farming to that of being a housewife have become so specialized and mechanized that children play an insignificant part, almost relegated to clearing the table at dinner time, or guiding the power mower around the yard. Instead, youth take part in a number of other activities, building their character, and teaching them to adapt to the changing mood of civilization. Boys may have a 4-H project or two, take part in scouting campouts and hikes, play on a Little League or Pony League team, swim at the city pool, or enjoy the youth center. I Girls are also active in 4-H and girl scouting, and have many home ec facilities available during the summer months. Both may take summer high school courses, or attend church camps. Most attend a Bible school at one time or another, usually in June. In the evenings they meet their friends at the youth center, drive-ins or drive-in movies. This month will see the completion of summer school school for a large number of scholars who are intent on getting extra education which they might have to skip in a crowded regular semester. Few people realize that this education is not costing through the regular county school levy—it is wholly state-supported, and if we did not have it, some other city would take advantage of the program for their children. This month will also see the annual county 4-H fair, at which the young people of the county exhibit their prize accomplishments. A good time for three days culminates their annual achievement program. During June, July, and August, groups of Boy Scouts under their own scoutmastesr attend Big Island camp at Rome City. This year Troop 65 sent 20 boys ; last week. All the troops camp out at Decatur’s own • Camp Quinn in Hanna-Nuttman park once dr twice, also. Next month will see the completion of the Little League program, with league championships and all the glory of a regular world series. It is important that parents and all local citizens realize that a completely balanced outdoor-indoor program exists for young people, a program in which the young people themselves, under a minimum of supervision, may guide themselves to citizenship and adjust to modern-day life. This program exists around the year, and is vitally important for all of us, not just for the children—it means the future security of our country. •• ' I, UMI , ,11, Ml I. !■■■! f— Illi ■ ' HI. — —' I——

Steel Walkout Is Sixth In History

PITTSBURGH (UPI) — The strike of United Steelworkers is the sixth industry-wide walkout in the 23-year hittory of the union, all after World War 11. The previous walkouts and the settlements: 1956—34 days. A three-year contract which resulted in benefits estimated at 45.6 cents per hour per worker during the life of the agreement. 1955—12 hours. Wage increases averaging slightly more than 15 cents per hour. 1952—68 days. Wage increases averaging 16 cents per hour; a modified union shop and elimination of geographical differentials at a cost of about 5 cents per hour. 1949— 30 to 42 days. Companyfinanced pension and insurance programs, but no wage increase. 1946—29 days. A wage increase of 18% cents per hour. The steel industry estimated that these walkouts cost the nation 55 million tons of steel production. The current walkout will mean the loss of about 2% million tons for each week it continues. The first major strike called by the USW, then the Steelworkers Organizing Committee, was against Jones and Laughlin Steel Corp, in May, 1937. The newlyfounded union already had won contracts with 110 companies, including giant U.S. Steel Corp., without a walkout. The strike ended after 36 hours when J&L agreed to sign a contract if its employes voted for the union in a National Labor Relations Board election. The union won 17,028 to 7,207. But other large independent firms refused to deal with the union. Within a week, the late Philip Murray, then president of the steel union, had called walkouts against Bethlehem, Republic. Inland and Youngstown Sheet & Tube. At its peak, the walkout idled 90,000 workers. The violence marked strike continued into the fall, but eventually most of the men went back to work and the union had failed to win contracts. But in 1941, after strikes flared at a half-dozen Bethlehem mills, the company agreed to NLRB elections. Again the union won, and the four companies of’ so-called “little steel” came to terms in August. Other major strikes in the steel industry occurred in 1889, 1892, 1909 and 1919, but they involved predecessor unions of the United Steelworkers. The most noted walkout of the past was the 189? strike against steel king Andrew Carnegie's Homestead, Pa., mill. On July 6 of that year strikers and compa-ny-h 1r e d Pinkerton detectives clashed in a pitched battle. Seyen strikers and three Pinkertons were killed in a gun battle on the bank of the Monongahela River as the detectives sought to enter the mill from barges. Slight Damage Done As Auto Hits Tree City police investigated an onecar accident this morning at 704 High street when a woman driver ran into a tree, causing 375 damage to the car.
