Real 'Way To Peace?
Phillips Petroleum Ca. employ -
Ns announced last week that
their Thrift Plan corporation
lead become owner of the largest
eingie block of company stock.
Vlore than 15,000 of the firm's
141,500 workers are shareholders.
Incidental news in the sale of
the Oklahoma Tire Lk Supply Co,
a day or two later revealed that
S0% of the stock of that firm is
Owned by present and former
employes under a similar work-
er -company savings plan,
These two firms along with a
number of other leaders in their
categories with such stock own-
ership formulas have been no-
tably free of management -work-
er disputes for years, Perhaps
they have found the real way to
peace 25 years after the Wagner
Act filet became law, giving
union labor leaders special pri-
vileges to invade the field of
management....
One gets the feeling from such
facts as these that the kind of
unionism which is more con-
cerned with the progress of the
union as such than with the real
progress of employes as part of
the business system is on the
way out,,,,
We shall fail if we continue to
encourage the idea of the unions
that they are the natural ene-
mies of the employers and that
both sides must have second par-
ties, business agents and indus-
trial relations experts, to nego-
tiate for them, meanwhile keep-
ing those really concerned most
apart. There is too much com-
mon interest today between man-
agement and other employes to
let our still -free society founder
ever their seeming inability to
resolve differences.
American business manage-
ment and workers must proceed
to redevelop communication be-
tween each other without too
much counsel from the expert
third or fourth parties, Perhaps
Phillips, Otasca and the others
have found the best way for the
big companies. It not only seems
to succeed in instilling a proper
regard for the interests of each
other; it presents a common,
pleasant front to that all -import -

For Deadliness
The ancient sport of crossbow
shooting is back in popularity
ernong archers. In Preston, re-
mently, twenty - five marksmen
arrived with crossbows to cele-
brate the 5th Northern Flight

ship.
These bows conform to varied
designs, and despite their great
age retain astonishing lethal
power.
One weapon, probably used by
ancient terrorists, is a German
windlass bow. Generating an
000 -lb. thrust, it fires a bolt -head
three-quarters of an inch long,
which will pierce any suit of me-

Mr. G. P. Jenkinson, of Pres-

5o Nice Ta Him
He Can't Afford it I
They used to say that goad
things come done up in small
packages, but that was before
the packaging revolution. Now-
adays, just about everything
comes done up — not necessar-
ily in small packages, but cert-
ainly in neat ones. There are.
some packages designed to keep
things crisp, others limp, still
others moist or dry. But all are
designed, so it seems, to make
me want to buy and to rush
home and enjoy the contents.
I sometimes wish business
would stop being so nice to me.
1 can barely afford it, When I
go to the supermarket to buy,
say, a couple of pears (we have
a small family and don't care
too much for pears), I am con-
fronted by a wondrous array of
fruits and vegetables all neatly
packaged in papier macho trays
and covered with crinkly plastic
that says "Don't touch — buy."
The pears look nice. I can see
that the packages are designed
Tor people who like to eat a
lot of pears. I cannot buy two,
at least not without making an
enemy of the fruit and vegetable
manager.
It's the same with candy, I
can save a nickel by buying a
"six-pack" of five -cent candy
bars for a quarter. But all I
want is one and I don't want to
save a nickel; I want to spend
it. So I am forced to save a quar-
,x,ter by not buying the six-pack.
The packaging revolution, you
see, makes it easy for me to buy
more than I want or need. What's
more, it has made it easier for
me to use what I buy. Practically
every box or bar of soap has
a new, easy -to -open top or wrap-
per. I pull gently on a little
string or I press lightly on a
tab or I use the new improved
easy -pouring spout and living's
e lark.
Today there are crackers that
come in neat stacks like so many
circular dominoes. This 1S cer-
tainly the last word (I hope) in
the packaging of crackers. The
company that thought this up
deserves a lot of credit. In fact,
by charging two cents more for
this convenience, they appear 10
agree with me.
In today's package deal every-
thing seems to be six of one and
half a dozen of the other. Tins
is largely because of what is
called the cluster pack. This en-

ally taking over the food depart-
ment, One use for the disposable
bag is to package the disposable
bag that has replaced the old-
fashioned dust bag in vacuum
cleaners. The point of the dis-
posable bag in a vacuum cleaner
is to keep your hands front get-
ting dirty. Any housewife can
tell you this invention misses
the pellet. What is really needed
is a disposable vacuum cleaner.
The packaging revolution has
broadened that ancient merchan-
dising device known as the one -
cent saie.-As'developed by some
zealot in the cracker barrel age
of storekeeping, the one -cent
sale was simple in concept, You
bought one item at the regular
,price, then -received another for
a penny more. That was before
the cluster pack. With modern
packaging, you get ail item for
one cent more when you buy
Iwo, three, 'four, or sometimes
five of its mates. This is akin to
buying a piano because someone
has given you a bench.
A variant is the combination
offer. You can buy dental cream
with a roll of aluminum foil
riding piggyback. This intriguing
example of what the trade calls
"related selling" is one where the
relation eludes me, Apparently
an aluminum -foil man and a
dental -cream man fell to talk-
ing one day with a packaging
engineer whose business was
' slow at the time,
I remember an ad run by a
company that makes packaging
materials, It showed a picture
of an egg and called. it "the per-
fect package." Some restless pio-
neer of packaging eppat'ently
disagreed because now I learn
that this pereet, package has
been improved, In some fields,
they shell eggs and pour them,
yokes and all, into little square
plastic pillows which, it may be
presumed, have sn east'-ireopen
lab.
The thought of square eggs
unnerves roe. If my supermarket
attempts to foist this ultimate
triumph of technology lett Ine,
1'11 be tempted to start a nun -
ter -revolution. I might just set
up as an old-fashioned grocer
with a cracker barrel right
smack in the middle of my store
and perhaps a chicken coop out
beck.

too far, ,you know.

A Soviet Dream Of
Warming The iceCcip
About a year ago a Soviet
scientist -engineer, i', M. Borisov
(no other identification given),
writing in the "Literaturnaya
Gazeta,' proposed a grandiose
project: A 55 -mile dam across
the Bering Strait combined with
"pumps of tremendous power"
that would pump cold water out
of the Arctic Ocean and bring
an influx of warm Atlantic
waters from the Gulf Stream
that would melt the Arctic ice-
cap and turn the area into a
habitable region.
This dream obviously made
pikers of those who only want to
dam the Nile, harness the Yang-
tze, or water the Sahara Desert.
Comrade Borisov did not go into
the cost of the project, the time
it would take to make the Arctic
comparable to the Mediterran-
ean for climate, flora, fauna, etc.
But he slid get a respectful
hearing not only in the Soviet
press, but in American scientific
circles and government offices as
well. For the United States has
an interest In the Bering Strait
and in any climatic changes that
alight occur from damming it
and eliminating the Arctic ice-
cap.
lie also stirred up a number
of Soviet scientists and fellow
engineers, who have now con-
cluded that brother Borisov's
dream is as dangerous as it is
grandiose, Their kindest com-
ments are that the effects of a
dam across the Bering Strait
would be "catastrophic," would
"inflict irreparable harm to the
earth's environment."
Another Soviet scientist -engi-
neer, D. A. Drogaytsev (no other
identification given), has now
torn into Comrade Borisov in a
point -by -point rebuttal in eight
pages in a recent issue of "Pri-
rode."
First, asks critic Drogaytsev,
would the warm waters from the
Atlantic Gulf Stream (assuming
they would replace the cold Arc-
tic waters as these were being
pumped out in the Pacific) melt
the Arctic icecap?
Not at all, Rather, says Com-
rade Drogaytsev, "the creation of
a current moving southward to-
ward the Bering Sea and Strait
as a result of the powerful
pumping operation would not
only draw vast amounts of water
southwards, it would also bring
incalculable volumes of ice
southward which, in an exceed-
ingly short time, would totally
block the narrow strait from the
surface of the sea to the very
bottom of the strait"!
What the scheme would actu-
ally do then, argues Comrade
Drogaytsev, is take the Arctic ice-
cap off the Arctic Circle and dis-
tribute it around the entire
northern coast of Eurasia and
North America, "blocking the
coast and the mouths of the great
rivers all year round"! This
might make it better living at
the North Pole (where no one
lives), but it would make- it
dangerous if not impossible for
the many who do live on the
edge of the, Arctic basin, driving
then out of their homes.
In Comrade Borisov's article
there were visions of the Soviet's
Siberian shores on the Arctic
rivaling its Black Sea coasts for
vacationlands and summer re-
sorts, writes Neal Standford in
the Christian Science Monitor.
Unadulterated fantasy, says
Comrade Drogaytsev, Before
talking about "any striking ame-
lioration of climate in the north-
ern lands," declares D. A. Dro-
gaytsev, let's look at what would
actually happen with the northern
coast of Asia "blockaded by ice":
"The region would become cold-
er 111 the summer. and the win-
ters even more severe. lee con-
ditions in far eastern water's
would worsen. And there would
be catastrophic results for other
parts of the Soviet Union, with
winters colder and summers hot-
ter and precipitation dropping
ot£. The arid zone of subtropical
deserts of Nofth Africa, Central
Asia, and the Gobi would more
to the north." Is that what. you
want, Comrade Borisov? suggests
Comrade Drogaytsev rhetorically
in his peroration,
There has not been time, y('1,
for Comrade Borisov to reply to
this denunciation of his pet pro-
ject for remaking the Arctic.
Perhaps in another six months
he willreturn t0 the battle. R11f_
