when this union officer, along- with
Texas delegates and other state
officials from over the nation were
called to Washington, D.C. by our
National Organization, an attempt
was made to settle this pay dis-
pute. The delegates visited their
various congressmen and senators
and sought and were promised sup-
port on the pay issue. Before we
arrived in Washington the seven
exclusive postal unions had been
meeting to draw up plans for the
support of postal reform which
included some pay adjustment.
There was also support of a pay
see POSTAL WALKOUT, p. 8
The Nations postal employees
walkout and wildcat strike which
now grips the country can be
blamed on several factors, but the
real responsibility must be fixed
upon the present Administration
and Postmaster General Winton
Blount Many of the unpleasant-
ness and hard feeling could have
been avoided if the administration
and the PMG had been willing to
listen to reason. Promises that
were made by President Nixon in
relation to the postal legislation
and salary have not been kept.
The Postal Corporation, which
would put the post office under pri-
vate business, has been used to
stall meaningful and justified pay
raises for postal employees. In an
earlier message the president made
promises of pay comparability, but
later when Congress attempted to
pass said legislation, Nixon threat-
ened veto if the bill was not tied
with the corporation. Time and
again Congress had to knuckle
under to pressure from the White
House or stand to lose support for
their own committees and legisla-
tive plans.

Don McFee, International Typo-
graphical Union Representative,
from Raleigh, North Carolina, was
present representing the ITU Ex-
ecutive Council and Walter Bieber-
stein also an ITU Representative

guest.
"We are always glad to have
these gentlemen with us,” stated
Robert L. Campbell, upon his re-
turn from Waco.
Mr. Campbell stated a very in-
formative and constructive busi-
ness session was held.

• O heavenly Father, make me 1
a better parent. Teach me to un- J
derstand my children, to listen pa-
tiently to what they have to say,
and to answer all their questions
kindly. Keep me from interrupt-
ing them or contradicting them.
Make me as courteous to them as
I would have them be to me. For-
bid that I should ever laugh at
their mistakes, or resort to shame
or ridicule when they displease
me. May I never punish them
for my own selfish satisfaction
or to show my power.
Let me not tempt my child to
lie or steal. And guide me hour

•According to a Federal edu-
ction official, some 30,000 high
School graduates in the United
States are known to be “func-
tional illiterates,” reading at less
than fifth-grade level.
One reason for this appalling
finding is that no state yet de-
mands a reading-proficiency test
as a requirement for graduation.
California, for one, is starting
to grapple with the problem. Next
fall a new law will demand an
eighth-grade level for performance
in reading and math before high
school graduates can claim their
sheepskins.
The rest of the states, North
Carolina among them, will con-
tinue to turn out functional illit-
erates armed with high school
diplomas and very little else in the
way of education.
Chapel Hill, which has always
prided itself on the quality of its
public school system, is an ex-
ample of what is happening.
• We turn out high school
graduates who can’t figure the
change of a dollar, who don’t know
whether Montana is a city or state,
whose reading comprehension is at
the elementary school level, who
can’t spell or write grammatical
English, who, in short, are unedu-
cated.
Some of this undoubtedly is due
to the "social promotions” that
push along an unprepared student
from grade to grade and eventual-
ly to commencement And some
of the fault is undoubtedly due to
the lack of emphasis on such fun-
damentals as the three R‘s.
Whatever the causes, we are
cheating the student and making
a farce of our public school edu-
cation when we hand him a di-
ploma attesting to an education
that he just doesn’t have.
There ought to be a law.

Our regular monthly meeting
was held March 13, 1970 at the
home of Estelle Reinle, 231 Mur-
deaux Lane. We had a fine at-
tendance, although several mem-
bers were absent on account of ill-
ness. These members were remem-
bered with “Get-Well” cards,
signed by all members present
Our next meeting will be at the
home of Mrs. Ruth Moen, 5624
Miller, TA 3-6324, with a covered-
dish luncheon, April 10, 1970. Do
plan to attend. A report on the
Texas Typographical Conference
will be made by the delegates that
attended.
A nominating committee was
elected and if you are called on to
hold an office, do so WILLINGLY,
let us all accept any responsibility
that will add to our activities, and
to our Typographical Union 173.
We now have address labels—
300 for $1.50—send your order (3
lines) with check to: Anna Raicoff,
935 Zeb Street, Dallas 75211. As
you know, this project is promot-
ing the Allied Printing Trades
label, which is the MAIN objec-
tive of our Auxiliary.

Ne
by hour that I may demonstrate
by all I say and do that honesty
produces happiness.
Reduce, I pray, the meanness
in me. And when I am out of
sorts, help me, O Lord, to hold
my tongue.
May I ever be mindful that my
children are children and I should
not expect of them the judgment
of adults.
Let me not rob them of the
opportunity to wait on themselves
and to make decisions.
Bless me with the bigness to
grant them all their reasonable
requests, and the courage to deny
them privileges I know will do
them harm.
Make me fair and just and kind.
And fit me, O Lord, to be loved
and respected and imitated by my
children. Amen.
