PAGE 6 I BRUCE I I BARTON || I Says: |' * . . I Admire the Cops As we drove along beside the Hudson River we noticed a crowd at one of the piers. A discouraged gentleman had attempted to drown himseir. Dripping and dejected, he sat on an empty barrel, while the cop who had pulled him out of the water talked to him like a big brother Presenty the patrol wagon arrived to take them away, the cop still uttering words of friendly encouragement. At a busy corner stood a woman with a baby in her arms and a youngster tugging at her skirt, anxiously viewing the torrent of traffic, afraid to plunge in. The cop in the middle of the street sighted her, and raised his arm with a knightly gesture. The city stopped while the timid little mother crossed overIt was late at night. On the steps of a residence, the window's of which were shuttered, a man was slouched in an obvious state of intoxication. A cop touched him on the shoylder They held a brief conversation. Presently the cop hailed a taxi, loaded the inebriated citizen in it. gave instructions to the taxi driver, and the taxi drove away. These incidents, occurring within my own sight and close together, reminded me that I have long intended to write a little something about Cops. I admire most of all their selfpossession and the sound commonsense way in which they go about their work. Adlai E. Stevenson, once vice-president of the United States, used to quote a friend's remark that "the Constitution of Illinois is an almost perfect document, but it should have one additional paragraph. It should provide for an appeal from the Supreme Court to any two justices of the peace." The idea was that when all the high-priced lawyers and judges had finished their legal wrangling then a couple of country chaps should render a final decision on the basis of simple common sense ? ? . Hard Work the Test You run across all sorts of sur prises in the course of a business week. For instance, the vice-president of a big chain store organization was telling me a business story. And what do you suppose he based it on? The Bible He has charge of the company's personnel. It is a job to sort over a hundred young fellows in order to find the one who will start at small wages, work long hours, and fight his way up to the top. The prizes are big, but the battle is hard, and only the toughest sur vlve. The part of the Bible to which the vice-president referred was the Feeding of the Five Thousand. Five thousand tired and hungry peopleThe Lord said, "Feed them." His disciples, who were practical men, were aghast- "We can't do it," they protested. "It would take too much money." Finally a boy was discovered in the crowd with five small loaves and two fishes. Said my friend: All they had to work with was what the boy had. "So with our company," he continued. "It's one of the leaders, yet there isn't a reallv brilliant man in it. We've all come up from the ranks"We can get money to do anything that we need; but money alone won't do it. "But all we really have to work with is what our four thousand boys have. They are going to decide what this business will be in the years to come " Union county farmers are going to more expense to earn their soil building allowances than they will receive in payments yet they feel the final results will more than justify the expenseKUJcjfl!
