The Brussels Post, 1949-6-29, Page 6With Power Gages Responsibility There's always a lot of }aorta- l/Mit-1g in wage talks between man- agement and unions. But not by any exaggeration could the term bargaining be applied to the de- mands some unions are currently snaking. Take the ease of Ford of Canada. fie far the union is vague in its d'emande for an increase in hourly wage rates. The emphasis up to now is on Me so-called fringe benefits: pen- sions, the union's idea of a modest social -welfare program, a mors generous scheme of paid vacations, etc, According to D, B. (rreig, presi- dent of Ford of Canaos, the extra cost merely of these "fringe bene- fits" would be $13 millions a year, pr equal to a raise of 46y cents an hour, Wi3en union leaders formulate their demands don't they ever stop to ask where the money will come from? Are they never going 10 acquire some intelligent realism? asks the Financial Post. It take only a glance at Ford fig- ures to see that this union demand would promptly Put Ford out of business. "Pay it out of profits": In the ease of Ford, never in ite history has it made a net of anything close to $13 millions in a single year. The 20 -year average (1929-4V was net profit of $2.5 millions. For the three post-war years it was $4.6 millions. "Take it out of surplus": But only a small part of the surplus is ix cash, just enough to meet pay- rolls and bills month by month. And even If it were all in cash, the surplus would support these "fringe demands" for only three years. "Take it out of the consumer": Today the consumer is in no mood for price increases, whether on care or cabbages. Not only can he awiteh his order to a Ford competitor, but every raise in ear prices squeezes customers out of the market, re- duces jobs for the auto workers. As Mr. Greig very properly says: "There is more at stake than the aecurity of the company—the jobs of 14,000." Unionism has come a long way in the past decade. Its leaders have acquired enormous economic and politica) power. When are they going to learn that with power goes responsibility; that the fruits of their folly will harm more than anybody else the very people they are supposed to serve?

To- day the big question is: What Is the future of those who look at televlefon, and how will it ehange their lives and habits? Princeton and Rutgers Universi- ties have been conducting surveys regarding these matters, and al- though they are somewhat limited in scope, some of the conclusions reached are highly interesting, FAMILY UNITY: Television bee brought the family together in one room ae nothing had been able to do in the past. Even after a year or more of use the set in the aver- age household ij "on" for a �o 5 hours it day, and to maintain ss degree of household harmony strange compromises are often essential. Thee tete televielon wife may And herself speaking it casual authority regarding the punching ability of Rooky Graziano, and father may be wondering if there is no end to the puppet glove that intrigue the younger generation. The kids, of eouree, look at almost anything. But although the family is brought much more closely together than before, if all membere cit in abject silence hour after hour, there may be actually less real family socia- bility than formerly. RADIO LISTENING. There isn't any doubt that radio listening le being drastically affected by tele- vision. An overwhelming majority of television owners report that they now listen less to the radio. In the evening when the best tele- vision programs are on, most of their radios are not operated at all. In the daytime, when household's chores prevent motionless concen- tration in front of the television screen, radio is no. noticeably af- fected, Maw still listens to the "soap operas". But it's increasingly clear that the broadcaster who trice 10 operate both radio and television is pretty much in competition with himself. READING: While tlfe younger generation seems able to do home- work and listen to the radio at the same time, television does not allow for reading a book while watching the screen. But apparently reading is one habit which is at first rather strongly affected by television and then gradually tends to return to its old level. Among those who read books the decline in reading may run as high as 30 per cent or more during the first six months after a set is bought, but after a year or so the decline is hardly noticeable, CONVERSATION: Whether the art of conversation is to be killed by television is a subject of much keen debate. One writer says that, with television demanding silent concentration on the part of view- ers, Americans tend to become a "chair -bound, myopic and speech- less race", The lack of speech is most noticeable during the first days of set ownership, however, and experienced viewers report that, at a later date, conversation niay be stimulated by video programs, INFLUENCE ON CHILDREN: This is of prime importance be- cause the habits of children may be decisively influenced by ;he Intent- continuous show emeIng alto the borne. Television introduces even the very young to iitc sort of enter- tainment which, ordenrily, they would not be seriatg until much older, On week -ends there have been cases of children looking as much as 8 or 9 hours a day — al- most half their staking harm's; and it is a rsre IIMISPbail l which, at our lime or other, has not found tele L armcari.Blair vision a problem in the matter of eompleting home lessons, The decision es to the "right" time for supper may also. result in a discipline problem, what with video programa for youngsters run- ning uninterruptedly from 5 to 8:30 p.m. For the parent, television ie a mixed blessing., It aan keep a child occupied if the adult wants relief from youthful noise and energy; but it can also keep the child occupied far too much for hie own good. Possibly, for a column of this kind, I have eonlinented at too (great a length on such a subject. Still, 1 don't think iso. There is a real possibility that television may rove 1p heye as great an effect as the American—and, later, the Canadian way of -life —as did the invention of the automobile ISRAEL Jerusalem is gradually returning to normal, Tank -traps and barb - wire are being removed except in a few places and buses are begin- ning to true again on old routes instead of the roundabout ways occasioned by road -blocks. Many modern shops are springing up on the rubble of bombed buildings. Most of the requisitioned holy places are being returned, except such as Notre Dante, which is on the front line and will probably be the last ..gip regain its complete sanctity. In the old walled city life goes on in the sante ancient Oriental fashion that has not changed over the centuries. There is little water and no electricity. ' At many points along the Jeru- ealenl-Palestine border there is the problem of "illegal" immigration. Arabs are trying to come in at any cost. They had established a black market and smuggling operations which would have reached large proportions except for Israeli vigil- ance, The only thing which stopped such maneuvers were clashes over prices or deliberate anurder. Some- times bodies with contraband goods still intact were in evidence. Cigarettes were one of the main items of this illicit commerce. Where they cost 75 cents a package in Israel, they can be bought in the old city for 27 cents. There was also smuggling of human beings. That wholesale "illegal" immigra- tion has now been stopped. Arabs no longer try to infiltrate in any large numbers as it means death or long prison terns; and the Jews are not eager about it for the same reason, Now it seems to be a mat- ter of ordinary police action to maintain the status quo of present Population distribution. StORT SmiTClc For,the first time in Lol these many years a traveller through Ontario finds the people In the small towns and villages actually taking an interest in—of all things —the doings of the Toronto Base- ball Club. * 4 P This is somewhat surprising as— with the exception, of course, of the hockey Leafs—Toronto teams and anything connected with the Queen City are not particularly popular throughout the balance of our fair Province. * k But the team which Joe Ziegler and Del Bissonette got together seems to have caught the fancy of one and all. It didn't do so well at the start due largely to an inexperi- enced catching staff. But the con- ing of Mr, Wagner to do the re- ceiving made all the difference, and the Leafs recently performed the rare feat of coming out of the depths and climbing right to the top of the, heap, largely while per. forming on foreign fields. q V M It's only the game fish, the say- ing goes,. which swims against the aurrent—although the truth of this,' like that of a lot of other hoary adages is open to question, as we seem to recall seeing several vari- eties of fish battling upstream that were never classed as particularly game. M * t2 But there's no doubt that it taloa a ball team with plenty of viscera to play better on alien soil than they had been doing right on their own home pastures. So it would not be surprising to see, before the season is over crowds flocking Tor- ontowards not because the, races are on at beautiful Woodbine or gorge- ous Dufferin, but to see some base- ball of better than fair calibre, a * ,s It can happen again, just as it used to happen back in the days when the Maple Leafs were win- ning pennants — something they have done' just eight times out of sixty-four starts. But lest you think this is a pretty feeble percentage of wins, we might add that. only Rochester with ten, and Baltimore with nine have topped the Toronto mark. We don't imagine very many of our readers will recall the first time the name of Toronto—like that of Abu ten Adhem who used to bore' us so much in Public School—led all the rest to the payoff station. For that was way back in 1887— gee, we can hardly remember it ourself—and the club that year was managed by Charlie Cushman. All we can tell you about that team, aside from the manager's name, was that a gent named Slattery stole 112 bases that season, which leads to the thought (that either pitchers didn't pay much attention to the base -runners in those clays, or else that it was a good job the saliva test had not yet been invent- ed. Burleigh Grimes' winning of the pennant in 1943 is too recent to re- quire comment—although it doesn't seem too fearfully recent for Maple Leaf Stadium regulars who have sat and suffered ever since. And as it looks as if apace is fast running out on us, well only add that al- though Del Biasonette's 1949 ath- letes may not bring Toronto its ninth pennant, right now they look like an outfit that will be fighting right down to the wire. Greek Remover An exchange says that alcohol will remove grass stains from sum- mer clothes. The exchange is right, It will also remove the summer clothes, spring clothes, autumn and winter clothes, not only from the one who drinks it but also from his wife and family. It will also re- move the furniture from the house, the eatables from the pantry, the smiles from the face of his wife and the happiness from the home. As a remover of things, alcohol has few equals. —Moravia, N.Y., Re- publican -Register, September 16, 1898.
