A man who has never fallen in love with a red-haired girl can only know the bliss that goes with ignorance.

Editor's note: We hasten to assure our blonde and brunette lady readers any blue-haired girls in our town? -that Boyle's remarks about women are always strictly his own, and rarely, reflect, coincide with, or even come close to the views of this newspaper.) Wliy does every generation of man piclTbn the one that succeeds it? The reason probably is just the absent-mindedness of age. Folks who say this crop of teenagers 's the worst in history are simply forgetting themselves. The way many grownups act today you can't help but wonder if the two greatest differences between adults and adolescents aren't just time and pimples, A man who showers catsup on a restaurant hamburger before he even takes his first bite isn't necessarily either a good or bad judge of cooking. He may be just a fine judge of horseflesh. New York (tP) Curbstone opinions of a pavement Plato: Marilyn Monroe is the only girl I ever met who could shrug without moving her shoulders.

There is nothing wrong with the average college graduate that couldn't be cured by a good education. The surest sign of inflation I know of is that the kid in my old neighborhood who used to swallow grasshoppers for a penny now has a son who won't even look at a worm for lass than a dime. The greatest freedom in the life of a middle-aged woman Ls the feeling she gets the second she takes off her girdle. With a middle-aged man, it's the moment after a belch. There is always some kind of difference between the sexes.

Money can never buy love, and alimony is the price most men pay for finding this out. A wise man learns early not to wear himself out by repeating his pleasures too often. What Ls more enjoyable than a fsingle sneeze, or more exhausting than hay fever? I feel sorry for a color blind man because he has been robbed of the three most glorious sights in nature a rainbow, the splendor of an autumn landscape, and the Alton Smalley Open Season For J54 Candidates Its duck, huntingtime. But, the hunting isn't confined to ducks. Minnesota's two major political parties also are doing some hunting.

The Democratic Farmer Labor party is hunting for candidates for state offices and as opponents for the state's five representatives in congress should they seek re-election as is expected. On the other hand, the Republicans are scanning the Held for candidates to go gunning for the one senate and four representative seats held in congress by the DFL. 1 i .1 ji Bloody Roads: Lesson Six We talked Monday your auto drivers license and the requirements to secure it. It is an important document. It can also be taken away from you.

The law says it may be suspended or revolved. The two term are often eon-fused and confusing. Presumably suspension is for given period, like days or one year, following- a traffic violation. Presumably, too, revocation ineans the license is taken from you for Jceeps and if you want another one, you have to apply for it all oer again, and the etate may or may not see. fit to frrant it.

So far all of this is iooI, lut in practise it is only a sham and folly. Suppose you are arrested and convicted of drunken driving; and the judge fines you $100 and suspends your drivers license for one year. There is really nothing to prevent you from driving-again, perhaps that very day, and you probably will encounter no trouble unless jou are into an accident or get arrested again. Then the judge can fine you an additional $100 for driving after your license has been suspended or revoked, and you can go out and get into your car and start driving all over again. Some folks are concerned jilxmt this dangerous legal loophole.

They have suggested when a drivers license is revoked or suspended, that lie be required to turn in the auto license plates. A car traveling without license plates on our streets or highways would be quickly detected by any police officer, or by any civilian for that matter. But what happened to that certainly sane idea? A handful of noisy opjwn-ents wept about it in public. Why, just think of it, they said. If Johnny took the family ear to the dance Saturday night and got plastered and arrested, the same family car might be taken out of circulation for 90 days or a year.

That would be sinful. What the noisy opponents did not have the brains to understand was that if Johnny knew of those dire consequences to his folly, he would think twice and maybe three or four times before lie tried to wobble his way down a public highway. We'll move in the direction of solving our hideous traffic slaughter wjien we begin to think straight or when some folks begin to think at all. 1 James Marlow It Says Here By Chuck Rathe Republicans Launch Broad Social Security Study program and start off again on a new one. Both Curtis and Eisenhower administration spokesmen say they resent any intimation that they are out to wreck or destroy social security.

They say they just want to make sure, if they can, that the system for protecting the aged is sound, adequate, and fair. Critic Enchanted By Age Old Love Story Bv W. G. Kogers THE ENCHANTED CUP, by Dorothy James Roberts (Appleton- Century-Crofts; $3.75) In Tintagel on the forbidding Cornwall coast, King Mark gives his lovely sister Elizabeth as a bride to his liege King Melodias of Lyonesse. Afraid to go but, once she does, happy to be in the rougher court with her brawny consort, the young queen loses her life in having her first son, Tristram.

Thus begins this touching retelling of the great love story of Tristram and Isoud or Tristan and Isolde as you perhaps know them better. Gouvernail is Tristram's tutor and friend. Dispatched to the realm of King Hoel of Brittany to be brought up a polished and accomplished knight, Tristram arouses the love of pretty Princess Yseut. But he longs again for Lyonesse. and returns strong, brave and almost at man's estate.

His first man's job is to stand as champion for Uncle Mark against The Marhaus. Though he kills his man. he suffers a wound he fears is poisoned and goes across to Ireland for the only medicines that may cure it. There at last his fate is sealed: He lays eyes on Isoud, King Anguissh's incomparably beautiful daughter, anr' niece to The Marhaus, There is the love potion which Bragwain was assigned to guard. There are the villain Andret.

the ever loyal Dinadan, the mad Saracen Palamides, and Arthur himself, and Guenivere, and Launcelot. The lovely old story becomes a lovely new story. Miss Roberts tells it simply and movingly, and you'll find your copy either in your favorite bookstore or in the mails coming from the Book-of-the-Month club. AS YOU ARK probably aware this is National Newspaper week. It ha.s teen in pro-gre.

several days and come Lo an end Thursday. We hate commented before about the un-poiunce of your newspapers and an Amencen tree press so today let's look at some other aspects of the biwnc.s. There re 1,786 daily new lite United State and goodness kuos how many weeklies (more than 400 in Minnesota alonei. Four tunes as many dailies, are published in the afternoons as in the mornings, but the total morning circulation is almost 50 percent as great a that of the evening editions. Due to the high cost of production, there are fewer dailies now than in 1930.

The ratio then wa one daily to every Americans; now- It is one lor every 90,000. At the same time the circulation is at an all-time high, despite the impact of radio and television. You still can't line the kitchen shelves with radio programs. For newspapers as a whole about 70 cents ot each revenue dollar comes from advertising, and somewhat less than 30 cents from circulation. More than one-fourth the total cast are for paper (newsprint) and ink.

a THIS IS ALSO tire prevention week, a good time to look at those piles of rubbish hi your bH.sement and garage, tho overloaded electric circuits, th cans of inf unliable cleaning fluids. Each year more than 10,000 Americana perish in flames and property lasses soar into the billion of dollars. This Is also the time to be extra careful in the woods, sloughs and fields, a timely reminder with the hunting season upon us. Most of the woods art tinder dry. A spark might well bet off devastating blast that could co.st lives and wipe out whole towns and villages.

Be thoughtful. The lighted cigaret you toss away can be a lethal as an incendiary bomb. FOLKS in the state had a full measure of football over the weekend, with the Minnesota -Michigan state game Saturday afternoon, and the St. Johns-St. Thomas battle Saturday night.

It is a grand thing to see home teams in action and we hope there will be more of these TV shows in the remainder of the season. A PEW duck hunters came home with then- birds over the weekend but in general the shooting was pretty disappointing. Alter the opening broadside Saturday noon you needed anti-aircraft weapons to reach the wily fowl. Of course what always spoils the local hunting are the poachers who "open" their own seasons a week or no before the real sportsmen get to the slouglis Mui potholes. WE ARE WELL aware of the dll'ticuities and costs Involved, bin it always makes us a little Indignant to see where other Minnesota cities are getting dial telephone service.

Faribault is the most recent. It cost money and required additional equipment to install dial phones in Faribault, too, just as it would cost money and require equipment in St. Cloud. We don't like to keep harping on tills theme, but we also will resent very keenly being among the last cities in the state to get dial phones. Blame for the situation, of course, does not lit with the local phone employes.

Decisions for cliange are made much higher up. Maybe We should let our voices be raised much higher up if we hope to get results. HARDLY A DAY goes by but that we aie oilered a syndicated column to print. Some of the dailies we look over have several such column, and we have yet to find one that continues to retain an objective approach. After a couple of inontluj the writers become "national figures" and "personalities'' and forget they are essentially reporters.

You may not like this column, but at leal ii purports to talk about things of local interest, tso do the excellent columns by Frank Harrington, news editor, and King Grundman, sport editor, and that blight, fresh feature dally on this page by Chuck Rathe, wire and makeup editor. We wouldn't trade these tor all the lug-name writers in the country. HEADLINE ill Water bury iCoun.) American: "Threaten To Keep Pupils Home From S-hixl After Death." Today's Birthday I II C'ORIll SIF.R, born October 1KH7, at La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland, as Charles-Edouard Jean- By rharle f.

The Democrats created It and had been pushing it along for 18 years.

Now the Republicans have taken over and Secretary of Welfare Hob-has called in 12 consultants to take a new look. On Capitol Hill, Rep Carl Curtis who has been openly dubious about tire program for years, is heading- a broad study by a special house ways and means subcommittee. Few (rovemmeut programs mean much to so many. More than 65 million workers already are in the program. They expect retirement, benefits when they reach 65, or payments to their families If they dip before 65.

Eventually, in the year 2030. estimates are that the program would cover a minimum of 113 million persons or a maximum of 162 million. The new inspection is designed lo show whether the present program is sound. The inspectors want to know if they should dismantle the present Harold Stassen is being considered for the past of secretary ol labor. Stassen is described as a moderate.

Maybe It Will Stick This Time Taft-Hartley Labor Law To Get First Major Test Gustav Jahoda is the bravest man in England, lie is a Imdon university psychologist who has been venturesome enough to state that, according to his survey, girls are more conceited than boys. Girls, he says, consistently overrate their ability and their chances of climbing the social ladder.

They are apt to rate their families higher in the social scale than is actually the case. Boys, on the other hand, err on the side of underestimating themselves, and are less interested in social status. Americans are brave people, but few would venture to say out loud that they agree with Jahoda. Only the most reckless of males would attack the entire female sex. Naturally enough, the Democrats are hoping the state's GOP will center early on an outstanding candidate to battle it out with Hubert Humphrey, the state's junior senator.

And in the hope they can heckle Republicans into premature action on a candidate, the Dem party line has been that the Republicans are dragging their feet. However, the Republicans don't intend to concentrate too early on a candidate and thus give the Dems a sitting duck on which to sight, their weapons. Also, the Republicans believe that Humphrey can be beaten by an able candidate. They expect to have this able candidate in good time. They won't be stampeded into unwise action because they regard the defeat of Humphrey as a very important duty and a public service.

Apparently unworned about being a sitting duck for both Republicans and Democrats Ls Richard S. Wilcox of St. Paul, who indicated he may seek the Republican nomination for senator. Shots could come from Republicans because Wilcox deserted the Republican party last year to vote for Adlai Stevenson. Wilcox was an active worker for Dewey, the Republican presidential nominee in 1948.

He has said "It is probable I will be a candidate." Top objective of the DFL hunting continued to be selection of a good candidate for governor. With such a candidate as a running-mate for Humphrey, the Dems hope to have a double-barreled shotgun of the 1944 election campaigns; It is reported that tht Dem leadership is seeking a gubernatorial candidate i characteristics opposite from those of Humphrey. For example, instead of being glib and fast-talking the candidate would be a quiet-spoken individual, giving an impression of complete sincerity. The candidate would have an appeal for the rural voter instead of a bit? city background such as that, of the former Minneapolis mayor The candidate would not be an avid New Dealer such as the junior senator. With this type of candidate ioi chief executive of the state, the nartv would hope to counter some of the repercussions from tactics that could prove unpopular with the electorate.

bove all. the candidate would ha've to be a person who has not tacked President Eisenhowet. Humphrey's opposition to Slower is regarded as adding to the difficulties he faces in his re-eiecuon Uonalpohsshow that President Eisenhower's popularity is at an time high.

To the disabled veteran who must face it for the fir-st time it can be a serious shock To clear up some popular misconceptions surrounding the deaf per-sn. the Red Cross offers some guides a booklet, "Helping Disabled Veterans." Some veterans will use mechanical hearing aids and others will learn read lips, depending upon the tpe of hearing disability.

16-18 Sixth Avenu North. 1868 Fred Schllplln 1949 Injunction provisions of the law do not come into play until the fact-finding board has reported. (The law specifies that the report "shall not contain any recommendations" for settlement, a provision that Truman consistently opposed, i The attorney general then may petition a federal court to enjoin an actual or threatened strike or lockout. After an injunction is granted, the parties are under statutory obligation to make every effort to settle. At the end of the first 60 days, the fact-finding board again stating the current positions of the parties and citing the employer's "last offer of settlement." Within 15 days of the report, the national labor relations board takes a secret ballot of the employees on that offer.

If after five days the dispute remains unsettled, the injunction must be vacated, fhere-upon a strike becomes legal. The votes on the employer's offer have uniformly rejected it in fact, have amounted to nothing more than a vote of confidence in the union leadership. So it is agreed on all sides that the provisions for these votes might well be taken out of the law. The AFL, which has revoked the charter of the racket -ridden ILA. h's chartered a new union under the same name.

The new union has announced that will soon the national labor relations board for a new election on what union the majority of the workers. Taft-Hartley makes replaced strikers ineligible to vote in any such election. This 'union-busting'' provision of Taft-Hartley was one of two specifically condemned by Gen. Eisenhower in his campaign for the Presidency. But not the President, the AFL.

nor organized labor general could have predicted that the provision could be used to "bust" what has by now become an outlaw union. The new administration's first use of the emergency provisions of the Taft-Hartley law could to some extent provide a new yardstick of the effectiveness of that measure in healing industry-wide labor-management disputes. This is the first test of the law 'under an administration favorable to it in general. President Eisenhower wants it only amended, President Truman wanted it repealed. Truman invoked the Taft-Hartley emergency provisions on 10 occasions utter the law went into effect in June 1947 in seven cases in 1948, and in one eah in 1950,1951.

and 1952. In three of the disputes, all in 1948, no injunctions were issued. In two of these three, a settlement was reached without any strike and before the fact-finding board had made its initial reixn t. In cases in 1950 and 1951 settlements were reached less than a month after temporary injunctions had been issued. In five cases "80-day" injunctions were issued.

In only two cases -both in 1948, one involving east and west coast maritime workers, the other the East Coast International longshoremen's association now- on strikedid strikes follow dismissals of the injunctions. President Tinman's general reluctance to invoke the Taft-Hartley emergency ma-ctnery, and particularly his refusal to do so in the steel strike of 1952, even after congress had so requested of him, have made it possible to say that the law has not yet had a fair trial. The en.ergeny provisions of Tatt-Hartley survived a federal court test in the' last case in which President Truman resorted to them, a CIO st eel workers strike agata-4 a single American Locomotive plant in Dunkirk.
