Mrs. J. S. stover of Eureka Babson Urges Less Gripe, More Grip By ROGER W. BABSON BABSON PARK, May Compared with other land on earth, -we, the people of North America, now are sitting on top of the world.

Relative to any former period, we today have the greatest opportunity, both as to current conditions and future prospects. When you tune out radio croaking, long enough to attend to solid facts and figures, you sense the speed of recent reconversion. The outlook Is much brighter than some of the out-lookers. I.ess Gripe and More Grip During the recent big strikes there was an interval when a little by me and others was. perhaps, excusable.

It was a kind of low Monday morning, a natural let-down after the victories of 1945. That period of indulgence, however, has gone; and I recommend that the time has come for ali of us to cut out the crabbing and resume business. Despite the actions of lobor leaders here at home and of Russian leaders abroad, the situation, fundamentally, is cheerful. Today, the chief cause for complaint Is the chronic complaining. The time for growling and grumbling is when the goose hangs high, with everybody feeling smug, self- satisfied, a over-complacent.

Then crepe-draping and fnult-flnd- ing may do some good. Crabbing can help to restore balance. Today calls for pressure on the opposite side: for assurance, cheerfulness, good nature. The very disputes we deplore arise in part as a reaction of the widespread mood of dissatisfaction and lament. It is time to reverse these negative trends.

World Looks to V. S. This need for a more constructive spirit is doubly true in view of the new role of the U. S. in world affairs.

becomes known throughout the world as Uncle Squawk Instead of Uncle Sam. No' Devastation Here Particularly impressive are the reports of technical observers who have been surveying the economic ruins of Europe. One of these experts set down a cold-blooded appraisal of the wreckage. Then his. feelings got better of him and he summed up his engineering data: "Blessed is the land that has known no bombs, where everyone has plenty to eat and where people are not worn down by years of deprivation." America took full share of combat, but we led the world hi.pro- duction.

We h'ave come to possess industrial facilities beyond anything heretofore Our research and technique in a few years scored advances that normally might have taken a quarter century. America has cause for great thankfulnes. Yes, I am still bullish on the U. S. New Highs Ahead After the V-Days, Washington prophets forecast dire unemployment.

They were wrong. Furthermore, instead of sagging, retail trade has soared, brisk even in strikebound areas. 'Over-riding the shortage of goods and stoppage of output, business vitality has defied the grief mongers. Ample buying power points to still further expansion. Besides the stricken nations of the world, there are key groups of our own people right here at home who should let up their gloomy forebodings.

A reconversion to confidence will aid wage workers to raise output and aid fanners to raise crops. A holiday on crabbing will put fresh heart into postwar plans of executives and returning veterans, extra pep into campaigns of salesmen. Blackout Those Blues This county has been chosen tis the site of the future UN World Capital. In the light of this honor, 11 Is particularly Important that America should regain its ancestral fortitude. In some misguided moments, it may have appeared that America had switched its national emblem from the eagle to the; crab.

This dour mood must lift. Instead, we should make the most of the unprecedented opportunities. To capitalize to the full our abounding material and spiritual resources. we need the positive formula: Rather than crabbing about yesterday, let us count our manifold blessings for tomorrow. CIO, AFL Seek Texas White Collar Members .0 DAL1AS, May campaigns to organise labor, in Texas were announced Thursday by both Ihc CIO and AFL.

Robert Oliver, state director of Hie CIO, said a Texas goal of 50.000 industrial worker members will be sought by the CIO after a "kickoff" meeting of state workers In Houston, May 25. C. A.
