Labor is taking a prolonged holiday in its strike against General Motors with serious effects upon allied
Industries. Typical of the paralytical results of the UAW-CIO’s walkout, which the union ordered despite Gen
eral Motors’ offer of increased wages, are these photos showing: (Left above) Hundreds of railroad cars destined
lor the Buick Motor Division plants in Flint, including some with unprotected cargoes of sheet steel and other
perishable materials; (Right above) construction work on a new Chevrolet plant completely halted; (Left be

Body Division’s plant in Flint at a standstill after only a few weeks operation since V-J Day.
Most High School Youths Aim For
Happiness—Not Fame or Fortune
wnat does American youth want
^om life? Nearly half of 93,000
nigh school boys and girls polled
prefer a simple, secure and happy
life to prominence or a lot of
money, Reporting on the Scholas
tic Magazines’ survey, Margaret
Hauser, Director, Institute of
Student Opinion, writes in Red
book Magazine for February:
“Our young people are facing
the uncertainties of the future
with courage and realism -— and
^ope. Recently, more than 93,000
■nigh school boys and girls ex
pressed their views in a nation
wide survey made by the Insti
tute of Student Opinion. These
youngsters were asked:1
“Which of the following comes
closest to being your ultimate aim
in life:
(a) to make a lot of money.
(b) to be a prominent and re
spected member of my communi
,%v
(c) to reach the top in some
field of work, and become fa
mous.
(d) to live a simple but se
cure and happy life without mak
ing a lot of money or becoming
famous.
(e) to serve society and help
improve the welfare of my fel
lowmen.
(f) don’t know.
“Almost half —- forty-four per
cent—of both boys and girls choose
as their ultimate aim ’ a simple
but secure and happy life.’ Only
four per cent say that their life
goal is “to make a lot of money.’
“Why do nearly one half of
the students who participated in
the poll perfer the simple life?
They believe tnat only those who
are happy are truly successful in
life; they feel that disappoint
ment and frustration too often re
suit from efforts to achieve fame
and recognition. They observe
that frequently the wealthy and
famous are unhappy. They recog
nize that the backbone of our
nation is simple, obscure but rela
tively secure middle-class life.
“Second on the students’ list of
ultimate aims — representing
twenty per cent of the group
polled—is "to reach the top in
some field of work.’ Here again, in
their reasons, they disregard fame
and fortune. They want to reach
the top in order to gain the per
sonal satisfaction of a job well
done. The percentage of high
school boys who aspire ‘to reach
the top in some field of work’ is
slightly higher—twenty-three per
cent—than that of girls—eighteen
per cent.
“To be respected as prominent
citizens of the communities, ranks
third in the list of ultimate aims
of high school youth. Fifteen per
cent of the students say, in effect:
“All of us can’t be rich or famous
but we can all be better citi
zens.’ Fourth on the list of ulti
mate aims is a life of service to
others. Ten per cent of the stu
dents choose ‘to serve society and
help improve the health or wel
fare’ of their fellow men. Seven
per cent of the students are as
yet undecided about their ulti
mate aim in life. Among the four
per cent who would like ‘to make
a lot of money’ the chief reason
is an honest admission that they
want a life of luxury. They be
lieve that ‘money talks.”
“Although they admit that ob
stacles will have to foe overcome
in attaining their ultimate goals
in life, the students indicate that
they intend to cross these bridges
when they come to them. Thirty
nine per cern oi the students—
nearly one in four—^ay frankly
that they do not know what ob
stacles they will meet.
“Others, tota’ing thirty-nine per
cent, name such obstacles as lack
of money, lack of training or
education, lack of influence with
the right people or poor health
-But a surprisingly large number
of these young people apparently
are prepared to blame themselves,
it they fail to attain their aims.
Nine per cent state candidly that
they lack the necessary talent;
and, even more surprising, thir
teen per cent say simply that
they will be ‘unwilling to make
the personal sacrifices necessary’
to reach their goals. They realize
that it is difficult to confine de
sires and to discipline self.
“Plainly, these young people
are realistic in their approach to
life. They do not dream of the
impossible; they admit their
weaknesses; they face the uncer
tainties of the future without
fear. They hope to build a better
world. With their simple, honest
realistic approach to life — the
chances are, they will.”
