The Community Chest
-A Fine Job!
Up to yesterday afternoon the Community
Chest lacked only $493 to put the campaign
across.
That is a relatively small sum, and we
again urge those who have not made a con
tribution to do so today, in order to com
plete the effort as quickly as possible.
The campaign got off to a slow start in
seeking to raise $14,079, but picked up mo
mentum as it went along. Yesterday total
cash and pledges amounted to $13,586.
What a fine job has been done!
We know officials of the Community Chest
feel gopd about it, and are sure residents of
the community will too when they read to
day’s report.
Those who led the campaign and those
who got out and made the solicitations are
due a vote of thanks for a task well done, to
say nothing of the people who so generously
supported the drive with their funds,
reports. Fortunately, no one was blinded, but
Fireworks-
Take It Easy!
The community is again plagued with the
shooting of fireworks—we are sorry to say.
And some of those who fire them off have
been none too careful.
The explosives are dangerous—no matter
how small they are. And when thrown into a
crowd (as was done the other night at a foot
ball game), they can (and did) injure peo
ple. Several victims were injured about the
face, and ear-drums damaged, according to
reports. Fortunately ,no one was blinded, but
it could easily happen.
The Chronicle appeals to all who would set
off fireworks—don’t do it. In the first place,
it’s dangerous to anyone who may be near;
and it’s unlawful. State law prohibits the
selling of any but the very smallest explo
sives. And we think most people of the com
munity would like to see them all confiscated.
Drastic police action may be necessary to
curb the practice.
of opportunity in the field of retailing are
still wide open.”
What Mr. Lebhar s$ys applies s with equal
force to retailing other than chain. In re
tailing no one has a monopoly on intelligence,
innovation, advertising and promotional
ideas, the willingness to work, or anything
else. The wise old adage that “nothing is
constant but change” fits retailing to a T.
Great frontiers of progress remain to be
opened and explored.

One More Energy Source
The head of a large power company, who
has been studying the possibilities of atomic
energy as a source of electricity, recently
spoke before a coal operators association. He
said that coal will be challenged by atomic
-power, and challenged more seriously than it
ever was by oil or gas. But, he went on, that
doesn’t mean that coal will be conquered or
even seriously hurt. He believes that coal
can emerge far stronger than it is today.
He supported this view with some impres
sive statistics. It is estimated that by 1975
our electric output will reach the astronomi
cal figure of two trillion (2,000,000,000,000!) qq^qq” 1 Dials Townshi P' for
kilowatts. After making allowances for the
proportion that will be generated by hydro
power, oil and gas, it will take 940,000,000
tons of coal (about double the present total
coal production) to produce the balance, not
counting whatever part comes from atomic
energy. If the coal industry lives up to its
potentialities and promises, he then said, the
power to be generated atomic-wise will rep
resent the equivalent of only 52,000,000 tons
of coal. Therefore, around 900,000,000 tons
of coal will be needed for power generation
alone—in a year which is only 20 years
away.
In many minds the potentialities of the
atom have been exaggerated. They have
come to believe that it soon will make all oth
er forms of energy obsolete. No authority be
lieves that. They believe, instead, that it will
be just an additional energy source—in a na
tion and a world whose energy requirements
are increasing at an incredible rate.
No Place For Compulsion
It is easy to understand how the members
of a Democratic club for the election of Dem
ocratic candidates for a public office, or the
members of a Republican club seeking the
election of their candidates, might be as
sessed to raise a fund for political action. It
is hard to understand, however, how a labor
union can use the funds collected from all its
members, who belong to various political
parties, to promote a particular party candi
date.
What would happen if a corporation as
sessed its employes or its stockholders to
raise a special fund to promote a special can
didate? It would be in legal difficulties at
once. What is the difference between that
and compulsory union assesment for polit
ical'purposes? If union Members or corpora
tion stockholders or employes wish to volun
tarily put up their money to help a candidate
carry on his campaign, they have the priv
ilege of doing so, but to be compelled to put
up their money for a candidate is a different
story, whether they favor such candidate or
not.
Compulsion should be wiped out of the
American picture where a man’s political be
liefs or the right to work are concerned.
Mr. Penney Could Repeat!
A short time ago J. C. Penney, founder of
the chain store system which operates some
1,650 outlets in all 48 states, celebrated his
80th birthday. Mr. Penney opened his first
little store half a century ago, with a mini
mum of financial resources.
The anniversary caused Godfrey M. Leb
har, editor-in-chief of Chain Store Age, to
ask and answer this question: “Could Mr.
Penney Repeat?” Mr. Lebhar said, in part:
“Certainly retailing has made great strides
physically in the past 50 years. When we
look at the great stores we are putting up
today, we may well wonder how they could
be much improved. But we still don’t have
enough of them, in the first place, and cer
tainly the last word has not yet been said on
how to design stores to meet the public need
most effectively. Of far greater significance,
however, is the fact that we still have far to
go in reducing the costs of retail distribution
through more efficient merchandising meth
ods and further operating economies.
“Could Mr. Penney repeat his success to
day ? We haven’t any doubt about it. .. many
young men, now coming up in various chains,
will demonstrate, we feel sure, that the gates

PRIDE OF RACE
One who has pride of race in no way belittles
others who are proud of their race. In fact, there
is something wrong with a man who has no pride
of race—just as there would be something wrong
with him if he had no pride of country or church
or family. In all cases, we could apply the poet’s
deserpition that “his soul is dead.”
This is assuming, of course, that the race, the
country, the church, the family, are something
to be proud of; if they are not, then there is some
thing wrong with the race, the country, the
church, the family.
This is a point that seems to be generally ov
erlooked in most discussions of the question of in
tegration in this country.
When the Supreme Court handed down its
“separate but equal” ruling better than half a
eenturv ago, that should, have been all that any
one in either race should ask. Pride of race
should have made anyone in either race rebel
at anything else. ,
Let us suppose for a moment that the popula
tion situation in this country were reversed—
that there were 15 million white people and 150
million colored people.
In that case would the 15 million people, en
joying “equal but separate” facilities, be demand
ing integration with the 150 million colored peo
ple? It is to be believed the question answers it
self.
POLITICS—AND THE RIGHT TO WORK
It is to be belived that the political 'party
which would come out strongly with a stand that
the individual in this country must have the right
to work and make a living for himself and fam
ily—^without compulsion and without being forced
to pay dues for the privilege of doing so—would
find much greater support among the people
generally than either party realizes right now.
The American people can be pushed just so
far—and there is every indication now that the
rank and file of the people in this country be
lieve the unions have carried their force tactics
too far. They have displayed a complete disre
gard for law and order in entirely too many strike
cases in recent months. Two of the most flagrant
examples have been the Kohler and Perfect Cir-
cile Corporation strikes in Wisconsin and Indi
ana, and it is most heartening to all those who be
lieve in law and order that these two companies
are winning their fight against the arrogance of
the union leaders.
The center of contention in both cases has
been compulsory unionism. The two companies
have refused to enslave their workers in any such
manner. It is a shame that other and stronger
companies in this country in recent months have
not had the same courage and have not been
guided by the same principles. \
The voters of America would support these
time-honored principles of freedom at the polls
if given the opportunity to do so. And this in
cludes the rank and file of union members them
selves! Plenty of them are opposed to compul
sion. All of them would like to have the oppor
tunity to vote on the question of whether they
want to work or want to strike. The rank and file
of union members are no different than the rest
of the people of the country. The do not like
intimidation, they do hot like coercion, they do
not like to have their ballots marked by • union
leader or one of his goons.
