WUTtNiD '-**>^11 MM TO SCRVFff AT YOUR DEALERS ★ We, the Women BY RUTH MILLETT We haven’t done kids or parents ■»ny good by popularizing and dramatizing the words “juvenile delinquency’’ and considering it a national problem, like the housing shortage. Whether Johnny and Susie are well-behaved kids who can be de pended on isn’t fundamentally a national or even a community problem. And all the talk we’ve been in dulging in that the schools should do this, the courts should do that, the communities should do some thing else is just putting off the day of reckoning. That day is when we put the proolem right back where it be longs--in the laps of the parents. Parents aren’t going to like it, of course. Because if they once again assume complete responsi - bility for the behavior of their children, it is going to mean a lot of changes in many families. Parents will have to go back to the old-fasnioned practice of wait ing up fcr their kids when they go out on dates. That is the only way they can be sure that they get in at a reasonable hour. What will be even tougher on a good many modem parents is that they’ll have to get a little more dignity into their own social lives. Some day we’ll realize that the talking gets us no place and that this so-called national problem of “juvenile delinqueny’’ is really a family problem.

We do not believe that any other basis of wage arbitration is fair to our customers who, in the fma analysis, pay us the money we pay to our em ployees in wages. Eighty percent of the revenues in the nine southeastern states in which we operate is from business transacted within each state. Ou employees work and live in these local communities, and pay the prices which prevail m them. The rates which we charge our customers for both local and long distance telephone service wi in the state are regulated by State authorities and are established on the basis of local conditions, varying in accordance with local factors. Wages, loo, must be fixed on a southern basis if they are to be fair to employees telephone users alike. Telephone employee wages that above the level of other wages paid in the com munity are not fair to other employees who must compete with these higher wages in order to recruit and maintain an adequate employee force. Unrea sonably high telephone employee wages must also inevitably result in proportionately higher rates for telephone service. In order to avoid a strike with its inevitable harm to all concerned we offered before the strike started to arbitrate our wage rates on the basis of comparing them with other wages paid in the south. We proposed that an impartial panel of citizens representing the public’s interest, along with a rep resentative of the Union and one from the Com pany, compose the board of arbitration. The Union rejected this proposal and insisted upon a determi nation of wage levels on a national industry-wide basis. We have repeated our offer since the strike started. We repeat it again now, and urge the Union once again to accept it. Our Otter Is Fair To The Union, Fair To The Company, And Fair To The Public. If the Union would arbitrate on a fair basis the strike could be ended im mediately.
