So far the excavators hare across no skeletons, no buried treasure or burled boats, but in the center of W. Main they did dig up some old street car track ties in which rusted spikes and rail clamps were sun emoeaaea The ties were badly sollntered and In an advanced stage of decay, indicating that they may have" been put down long ago when the first street railway unking the twin cities was laid. The first-cars were horse-drawn, crossed Morrison channel on a low bridge, then followed the channel bank west) to State street hill in St Joseph. When the electric street railway was discontinued, tracks and ties were torn up. This leads to the supposition that the ties uncovered this week were originally at a lower level, in the early days west Main waa.unpaved, marshy and a morass of mud in wet seasons.

The old ties probably settled gradually into the soft muck. There's a legend of long-standing that there once was a settlement in the "Devil's Hole" area adjacent to the new Benton Harbor water plant at the south end of Jean Klock park, but if the story Is true, exca vations for the new buucluwc and filter tanks revealed no relics or evidence.

It's an egg within, an egg a perfect specimen right inside another perfect but outsize over "slnree inches egg.

Mrs. Sayers, flanked by her sister, Mrs. E. C. Jerue, was photographed holding the -unusual egg.

She baa broken the outer shell, not suspecting that. Inside would be not only yolk and white but also another egg. Mrs. Sayers entered the poultry business this year on account of arthritis. She has it in her foot, and she had to leave the restaurant business as a result.

Poultry doesn't keep her on her feet so much, she explains. She and her sister, who lives next door to Mykoloma where Mrs. Sayers has an apartment, operate the poultry business together. They have 850 laying pullets and 1,800 fryers. The hen that laid the double egg was a New Hampshire Keo.

Introduced by her maiden name, Vritta Vjorklund, the Swedish impersonator and local Sterne Brunson kindergarten teacher kept the Barrington Young Women's group in chuckles as she gave her highly humorous original skit in a charm school in which she discusses the neckline, fashions, and home made jewelry in Swedish dialect, modeling the while Innumerable hale of her own. creation, jewelry, such as bracelets made from kitch en chore boys, and using bow ties fashioned from dollar bills.

One hat is made from a pancake, which Mrs. Wooley always eats during her style discourse. Mrs. Wooley also finds obvious relish in an apple cor sage which she describes as practical "since it is not only good to look at but also excellent eating." She also modeled for the Chica go crowd a real live flower hat specialty of a local florist's shop, which she presented to the mistress of ceremonies as surprise feature.

8trikes signify what work ers want and how they hope to get it. I am reminded of the old story about a Gompers, one time head of the A. F. of L. Once when someone asked him what labor really wanted, he replied, "More." The question is: More what? Many labor economists, as well as news paper columnists BABSON ana psychologists, seem to think most strikes are for only one rea.

son: More pay for less work. As a matter of fact, the May 1948 is sue of Monthly Labor Review re ported taht only 74 per cent of all our strikes Involved the issue of higher wages and shorter working hours. It is a mistake to say that siriKers want only more monev. Strikes have cost not only the employer but the employes huee sums; it will take years for many employes to maice up the monev they lost through strikes. If money were tne sole underlying motive, wny, men, ao sio.000 per year work ers, sucn as script writers, airnlane pilots and locomotive engineers, sirixer in many instances workers get angry because they are not re ceiving'the "psychic" satisfactions necessary to wholesome manhood.

They flare-up, go on strike, then iook around ior something to de mand. More wages and shorter working hours usually is a simple iormuia. But, lundamentally. in adequate "psychic" compensation is the root of most of our Industrial conflict Psychic compensation is the inner satisfaction and feeling of well-be-1 lng derived from individual recog. nition, praise for work well done, fair and a steady job.

This soul-satlsfylng compensation does not, of course, supplant an adequate wage, but it is very import ant in keeping workers contented. Interestingly enough, the business executive's inner wants closely par allel those of the worker. He wants power, independence 01 action, a free hand to carry out ideas, recog nition by associates and community, Psychologists, economists, and college professors have all been wrong with their notion' that economic factors are the sole motivators of men. Except in economic depres sions. neither labor nor manage.

ment is motivated primarily by dol lars and cents. Both groups want certain "psychic" satisfaction, re spect for the individual, reasonable personal power and prestige. It Is the Inadequate satisfaction of these wants and needs that drives men irito conflict. SATISFYING PSYCHIC NEEDS We live in a highly competitive society which stresses and rewards individual achievement, prestige and poker. Executives and workers are all moulded from the same ciay, They have attended the same schools; They have the same physi cal make up.

There is no reason to believe that the economic and chic' motives of one group differ markedly from those 01 another group. It would be pretty difficult for union leaders to. develop activity if the workers "psychic' wants, as well as. economic, were satisfied. The" trouble Is, most executives know so little about human relations that they don't know where to be.

sin. If the average executive would sit down and analyze his own oasis "psychic" Job needs, recognize that his workers crave tne same -psy chic" satisfaction, and develop ways to share these satisfactions, I believe he would be on the road to resolving his industrial strife, pro vided labor leaders would zairiy co-operate. We Just Jack up the "psychic salaries" of our workers. WHAT ABOUT INVESTORS? The unfortunate fact la that in nocent investors are the real suffer ers because of this psychic conflict. therefore, as coming to the conclusion that they from their in- denendent position must soon wake up and take an active hand in settling this prooiem.

News, May 13, there appeared a strong editorial headed, "The 'Worst' President," At the end of same column, in hold face, appeared the blurb, "Buy bonds today for security tomorrow." At first, you might think that the mention of savings bonds would be a part of the indictment of the "worst President" whose administration is so largely responsible for the vast public debt of which these "bonds" are a part But this isn't true. So today I Will auote from a enM eriitArinl enri will show the inconsistency of fol lowing waa sucn a piea to "Buy bonds."

to change the picture; SEVERAL YEARS AGO the old Roosevelt gave unmistakeable signs 01 senility. Her Doners finally had to be condemned and the cost of re placement was too great She be gan her dreary vigil, moored in the ship canal, against the day of doom. once gleaming white paint became stained and worn by the weather. Tarnisn crept over exposed brass work and her hull was streaked with rust. The "Teddy" was a fast and seaworthy ship in her day.

She carried a "bone in her teeth" and left a smooth wake. Her life-span was 44 years, which is quite a long time for a ship. She was built in Toledo, 0 la 1908 and designed purely as an excursion vessel. She carried bo freight and had only a few staterooms. For one reason or another, the Roosevelt never remained long under one "house flag." Various lines and Interests bought and sold the ship.

For a time she was operated under charter by the O. but was never owned by that line. She knew and was known in many lake ports, including the twin cities, Chicago, Milwaukee, Put-In-Bay, Toledo, Cleveland' and Buffalo. THE ROOSEVELT registered gross tonnage was her net tonnage 1330 tons. She is 3764 feet long at the waterllne and has a beam of 40 feet Her power was a triple-expansion steam engine driving a single propeUorr The end of the Theodore Roosevelt may well mean, also, the final curtain on passenger steamship days here.

The decision of the C. ft ine to operate the Grand.

But they offer small consolation to the old-timers who re call not only gay days, and nights, on the lake, but that simple, tranquil era when the old side-wheeler May Graham steamed up and down the Old St Joe river between St Joe and Berrien Springs. Down the corridors of memory echo the May: Graham's melodious whistle and the! cheery shouts of Capt.

Fikes as he hailed folks along the river banks and at the many Jandings where the May Graham took on wood for her fires and, in season, -fragrant cases of fruit for trans-shipment to lake steamers at the old Graham dock, 1 CAPT. FIKES COULD KEEP up a running flow of banter and conversation as be piloted the May Graham around treacherous river shoals and He knew every twist and turn and be was as much a part of the river scene as the forests, orchards, clay banks and flocks of swallows. The May Graham has long been only a memory a vague memory to most but startlingly clear to the older generatloa. For years the May Graham was a major cargo and passenger link between this port and places ap-river. Then came interurban lines, the power dam at Berrien Springs that lowered be known to history, as the "worst" President for here would lie Russia's great opportunity." 4 THEN COMES THE "buy bonds' stuff We are told, parrot-like, to buy the bonds of an administration that has made "gigantic errors in fiscal policy." We are urged to buy for security (I) the evidence of debt issued by a government committed by its President to "appalling waste," and which la so Insolvent that it can truly be said that it has a "terrifying and a mounting deficit." And what a mockery to call this debt "security for tomorrow." The debt is nothing but the paper dollars that you set aside.

The politician spend them. At the end of a number of years they print some more paper dollars and give back to. you the same number you saved. But each day that passes brings a lower value for the dollar. Thus when tomorrow comes, your savings will have melted away as surely as ice in the summer.

Remember, a dollar now buys ony half as many telephone calls and streetcar rides as it did a few years ago. PERHAPS WORST of all, is the effrontery with which the politicians in power tell us to buy their debt "ior independence." The surest way to wreck our great republic is to ruin it financially. Every time you "buy a bond," you encourage the politicians to spend another billion dollars. The word, "bonds," is right. They have become the sign and symbol of our loss of individual freedom, They are the bonds of debr and dls-tatorship.

the river level, and the age when speed was a rod. The May small replica or the luxurious and famous river steamers that traversed the sissippi and Ohio rivers in Civil War and post-civil War days- carried folks into an enchanted realm of summer beauty and down the Old St Joe until she finally went the way of all old boats and people. THE MAY GRAHAM was staunchly built of timbers hewn from the forests that lined the river in an earlier day. She was fashioned and fabricated by workmen proud of their skill in the year 1879. Ninety.

five feet long and 16 feet wide, -she was propelled by two side-wheels driven by a steam engine. She' was originally a wood-burner, later using coal. Firewood was kept to replenish her bunkers at Twin Springs landing, Berrien Springs and St. Joe, bub- stops for passengers and iruit were maae aunost anywnere up and down the river. There were numerous summer resorts, including the famous glass blowers' camp near Napier bridge.

Another river steamer was the Tourist a stern-wheeler. The tour 1st was a popular boat, but never achieved the aura of river romance that surrounded the May Graham.
