THIS CURIOUS WORLD

MAYBE LIFE REALLY
BEGINS AT 40
“It's a young mail's country," we
carelessly say. “Youth will be served
But Is It?
Not if the National Association of
Manufacturers is right. There has
been no decline in the percentage
of industrial employment at the age
of 40 since 1923. a survey by the N.
A. M. indicated.
Not only that, but the association
found that industry rates its older
workers “very highly."
In 1938, the percentage of workers
between 40 and 49 actually showed
a gain. Of total employes reported
20.43 per cent were in that age
group. Even between 50 and 59, the
older workers were still accounting
for 10.43 per cent of total employ-
ment.
Is it possible to get a new job af-
ter 409 The same survey had returns
from 750 companies indicating that
workers of 40 and over added to the
payrolls in 1937 accounted for 8.4
per cent of their total employment.
“Steadier," "more regular in at-
tendance." “more pride and great-
er interest in their work,” were some
of the bouquets tossed at older work-
ers by the companies reporting.
Any insurance company will verify
that people live longer, on the aver-
age, than they used to live. Any so-
cial statistics will show that a great-
er proportion of the population each
year is made up of older people.
Nothing could be more natural
than to find great numbers of these
people between 40 and 00 still en-
gaged at productive work. But in
the meantime what is happening to
the multitudes jjf young people who
leave school every year?
Many of them are finding it hard
to get their first job. Some young
men reach the age of 23 or 24 with-
out ever having had a regular job or
learned any trade.
The end of school, a couple of
years of loafing, a year at a CCC
camp, two or three or half a dozen

' spent a few days here last week in
the home of Mr. and Mrs. A. F.
Stowall.
Mr. and Mrs. George S. Gandy
spent the week-end at Hereford with
friends and relatives.
The Methodist W. M. S. met Mon-

Horrified by War,
He Founded Red Cross
A QUIET Swiss youth stood on
I the battlefield of Soifcrino in
| Lombardy on a hot June day in
185,0. He saw the Austrians clash
1 with the troops under Napoleon
; III and his Italian ally, King Vic-
I tor Emmanuel. The carnage was
staggering: the Austrians lost 20,-
! 000 men, the allies 18,000. Thou-
I sands were wounded.
Touched by the bloody scene,
Dunant helped gather the wound-
ed, ministered to their aid. It
was an experience he was never
to forget. He vowed then that
something ought to be done for the
victims of war. '
Three years later Dunant told
his story to the world in a small
but weighty book, “A Souvenir of
Solferino." It won instantaneous
notice and out of it developed the
humanitarian Red Cross. In a
few years activities of this organ-
ization were to spread around the
world.
But ironically enough Dunant
was to experience mucli suffering
himself. At the height of his
work, he passed into 20 years of
oblivion. He was repotted dead.
Then a writer found the old man
living on three francs a day, se-
cluded in a barren room. He had
spent his fortune on humanity and
humanity had forgotten him.
The name of Dunant was hailed
again. He was given the ribbons
and prizes, a pension, and he
shared in the Nobel Peace Prize.
He died finally in 1910, after turn-
ing his last cent over to the Red
Cross. The humanitarian is shown
here on a 1928 Swiss stamp, hon-
oring the 100th anniversary of his
birth.

DALLAS (UP) —The United
States, because of its so-called "neu-

Mussolini. Hitler, and the Insurgents
in the war in Spain, according to
George O. Pershing, field secretary
of the Medical Bureau and North
John J. Pershing.
“The Loyalists are suflering se-
verely from lack of food and war
supplies, and perhaps could win the
war if they could purchase goods
from the United States," he said.
On account of its neutrality laws,
however, the United States will not
sell to the Loyalists.
"But,” Pershing said, "we are sell-
