I thanked him at the same time holding out a tip. -"O, no. Ma'm," said the boy cheer fully, "I'm a Scout, and I must do my daily deeds of kindness to others." No wonder that the Scouts were bus all over the. tent engaged in helpful ness, to others: No wonder . their faces shone and they were nanny in j their tasks. It is noble training. bince .that day many of these boys have gone out into life, but what ever they are, they are gallant knights, doing acts bf kindness and I helpfulness ' without a thought of re ward. What a difference in character such early training makes. Selfish and self-seeking people are utterly disgusting to others. They are so obsessed with themselves that they have no thought of others, un less it concerns their own advance ment or gratification in some way. Selfish people are not aware of what they are doing to themselves and to their own faces. Do you remember Oscar Wilde's story of Dorian Gray, end what happened to him finally, when the whole story of his evil life marred and ruined Us once beautiful coun tenance? . s. - - . Attention, you who have been frit tering ' away your time, absorbing yourselves in the frivolous things of me, seeing which one could' outdress the others, spending time uselessly on your clothes and make up. Wake up! Don't you know . that the world is on fire? Get to work and do use ful things that will help somebody besides yourself. v s; Stop, grumbling. What does it matter if you can't ride everywhere? Walking is good for your health and will develop your body. : ''; Our men died in the stink holes of the far Pacific for us, and how dare any one here grumble about our deprivations. Do you want real beauty? Then it must come from within, from gen- uine goodness, kindness and unselfish ness. Life will etch what you are on your face. . Do you want to attract people to you 7 Then get interested in people, look for their virtues, for their good points. You can learn from most of them something worth while. The best cosmetic in the world comes from within, from kind and noble thoughts. Which lead tn bind and helpful deeds. That is the beauty that grows with the years. i SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON flCon tinned From Pair a Savant the drunkenness seen in biblical days ' was the result of drinltino- cause the process of distilling alcohol and building up a higher alcoholic content was not discovered until hun dreds of years later.

Although they know this, leaders of 16 rail road unions are demanding a five-day, Mon day through Friday, week for one million railroad employes. They want 48 hours pay for 40 hours work ' in itself a 20 wage increase. They also demand a minimum bf 12 hours pay for any work performed on Saturdays, and 16 hours pay for Any work performed on Sundays and holidays. . On top of all this they want an additional increase of 25c an hour for, every employe! ; , You'd Pay theBffl! Summing up these demands, they mean that these union leaders seek to force the railroads to give one million employes an annual rats , which would average $150Q per mployel ; , The total cost of this would be no less than 1H billiop dollars per year, which ia more ; than twice th expected net income of the ' railroads this year, . , , i . i ' ' i (' ' ' You'd pay the bill, because if these in creased costs are forced On t )t railroads, ' ,r" V e '-'t "'f ' "' "' they must have still further rate and fare 'increases. , Demands Unreasonable , ' These employes have had substantial raises' during and since the war. Their average week- ly earnings are higher than the a v1prage weekly earnings of workers in manufacturing indue-. tries. They have more job security than the average worker in American industry. They also enjoy paid vacations, a retirement sys tem and other advantages more generous than the average worker receives. . " In contrast with the demands of t'jtse 16 , unions, which add up to the equivalent of 48c a hour, the Conductors and Trainmen "recently settled their wage request for an increase of 10c an hour. ; ' - . Railroads Ron for Everybody- not lanpioyes Alone ' -.-. The railroad industry must serve not one but many groups producers, businessmen, shippers,- passengers and the general public- night and day, every day of the year. These unions are proceeding in utter disregard of. this important difference between railroads and other industries. Industrial plants can be shut down over weekends and holidays, but freight, mail, express and passengers must continue to move. Everybody who enters rail road employment know thit. .', . ; ' i , Strike Threat ' " On September 18, 1948, the leaders of these 16 unions began taking a strike vote. But the' threat ofr a strike wiU not alter the opposition of the railroads to such unreasonable demands! We are publishing this and other advertisements to talk with you at first hand about matters which are important to everybody.
