IH MORALITY
Declares Breakdown
Of People Requires
Stronger Integrity.
Washington.—The recent revela-
ations of dishonesty, corruption and
malfeasance of character have
shocked the American people. They
provide dramatic proof that, in
many areas of contemporary so
ciety, the integrity of this great na
tion is being undermined.
During the first six months of
1951, for example, crime jumped
5.1 per cent in cities and 4 per cent
in rural areas, compared with the
same period last year.
Distorted, abused, cynically dis
regarded — the standards of con
duct, once regarded as sacred and
inviolate, stand tattered, torn and
forgotten by those who disregard
our laws. The time for positive ac
tion has come — the flag of honor,
now being lowered to half mast by
the criminal and the occasionally
corrupt, must be pulled on high by
all right-thinking citizens, to re
main there, unsullied, clean and
proud, the symbol of the home of
the free and the land of the brave.
The disclosure of dishonesty,
though perhaps differing ^n origin,,
method of operation, or individ
uals involved, are, in fact, parts
of the over-all picture of the break
down of morals. A basketball play
er accepting a bribe, an embezzler
“borrowing” some ‘‘spending mon
ey.” a gambler “buying protection”
—these are the ingredients of the
fog of immorality kvhich, unfor
tunately, has blanketed so many
consciences today.
The blossoms of crime may vary
—murder, burglary, larceny, bri
bery, corruption—but the roots
stem, in the final analysis, from
the same trunk, the ripping asund
er of the moral code of man.
Modern-day society, with its con
centrated economic w r ealth, high-
tension problems, and technical
unification, calls for the very peak
of moral integrity. The slightest
tang of dishonesty, misplaced con
fidence or corrupt endeavors, may
adversely affect thousands, even
millions of lives.
Morality, in this mid tw’entieth-
century world, is a highly im
portant factor, almost seismograph-
jc in delicacy. The slightest quiv
er of the moral needle off the
range fo honesty and personal vir
tue may literally speaking be felt
around the world. Men and w-omen
of the most profound moral reso
luteness, unequivocal in their ad
vocacy of personal virtue, are need
ed to hold steady the affairs of
men.
Unfortunately, at the very time
when the temptations^ef everyday
living are increasing; the moral
stamina and resilience needed to
counteract this evil often are lack
ing. The American home, for ex
ample, in years past the center ot
a cohesive family life, is, in many
places, only a place to sleep or eat.
The child fails to receive the
parental instruction and attention
needed to chart a pathway of good
citizenship. Juvenile delinquency
has increased—during * the first

six months of 1951, for instance,
15.2 per cent of all individuals ar
rested and fingerprinted in the
United States were under the age
of 21. This is a shocking commen
tary, all the more so at a time
when their talents are so urgently
needed.
"NMoreover, a withering material
istic philosoiphy, which denies the
transcended power of God, and |
encourages man to glorify him
self, has imbued many phases of
■American life. Unless we, as citi
zens in a democratic society, sud
denly wake up and take stock, w’e
may find the well-springs of mor
ality running dry.
America needs a commitment—
by every citizen, wherever he may
be—to help restore belief in the
bsaic virtues of personal dignity
and clean living. I have seen, time
after time, w'hat an enlightened,
aggressive and sincere public opin
ion can do.
Criminals, today basking in the
shadow’s of civic apathy, suddenly
found themselves shivering, like
cringing coyotes, in the glare of
community attention. The practice
of integrity in our own lives, busi
nesses and organizations, creates
confidence.
Good example is a mighty tonic,
The thousands of juvenile delin
quents who today justify their mis
deeds with a shrug of the shoulder
saying, “Well, I saw Mr. So and
So do the same,” will be deeply
affected.
- They will-realize that morality
is a positive virtue—it is not rela
tive, something that can be twist
ed, to meet any given situation. If
only our youngsters breathed more
of the air of good citizenship, I am
confident there w’ould be less crime
in the United States. The head
lines may paint a bleak story, but
the road ahead is not impassable,
or permanently out of order. It is
only temporarily blocked.

Penney Workers
To Share Profit
For Full Year
The board of directors of the J-
C. Penney Company have author
ized a special year-end payment
of an amount equal to two weeks’
pay for all full-time associates who
have been employed for the full
year 1951, and proportionate
amounts for extra and*part-time
associates and those employed
less than a year.
All Penney associates except
management staff members will
share in the payment. It will be
paid on December 15 at each as
sociate’s December 15th pay rate.
John B. Jordan, manager of the
local Penney store, said yesterday
that more than 50,000 Penney asso
ciates throughout the United States
would benefit by the payment, in
cluding 15 of the Clinton store.
He said the company president,
A/'W'.” Hughes*: m a letter to store
associates, pointed out that pay
ment was "based upon the results
attained for 1951. An extra pay
ment of this sort for a company of
our size represents a very large
amount. The possibility of similar
payments in future years will con
tinue to depend upon the results
attained in those years.” Mr.
Hughes added
‘ We are happy that the company
is able to recognize associates’ ef
forts in this special, substantial
manner in addition to the regular
company provisions for associates’
Benefit plan, the Gratuitous Death
benefit, which include the Sick
and Dismemberment Benefit Plan,
the Thrift and Profit-Sharing Re
tirement Plan and others.”
HOME
Start making your presents at
home so that you’ll have enough f6r
holiday giving. 1 Here are things from
the kitchen and the sewing room
which will receive a warm and
hearty welcome!
Make a half apron in a pretty style
with enough material for a wnde
hem, two or three inches. Fold this
i over to the right side. Tack at the
sides, and then sew dawn six or eight
times to form pockets. Fill the pock
ets with napkins the hostess can pass
out while entertaining.
Buy or make some small hand
towels out of terry cloth or Turkish
toweling. Personalize them with the
last name of the receiver, and ma
chine or hand-stitoh the name in
script, in a contrasting color.
Giving presents for several chil
dren? Make some Christmas stock
ings out of red felt. Cut letters to
form the child’s name from white
felt and stitch on the shocking. Dec
orate with small Christmas balls and
sequins.
Do you like to paint? Make or buy
plastic bibs for youngsters or buy
small toothbrushes with matching
plastic cups and paint their names
on these.
Make plum puddings in large pot
tery bowls or in individual custard
cups. Let them mellow for a time,
then wrap gaily in celophane and
ribbons for gifts.
Peanut brittle and hard candies
such as taffy and caramel may be
made in advance. Properly wrapped
in tins and placed between waxed i
S'
paper or aluminum foil, they will
keep without getting sticky.
