THE SUPER JACKPOT QUESTION
Little Hero Loses
In Fairy Tales
By John Whitmore
Occasionally there are some facts in a story that just can’t
be backed up very well. When this happens a newspaper man has
two choices. He can either print rumors or he can keep quiet.
Since I had a story and the facts couldn’t be backed up, I would
like to tell you a little fairy tale. For all practical purposes it is
all fiction.
Once upon a time—that’s the way all fairy tales start
out and it isn’t well to pin one of them down to a definite
date—there lived a little boy. This little boy was a good na-
tured fellow—in a fairy tale the hero has to be a good little
boy or girl. The only trouble with this little lad was that
he did not belong to the right caste.
He was in the second from the bottom strata and was
to be ignored by all of the other castes above him. But one
day the grand ruler of the country decided to move some of
the princes out of their places.
With these palaces without leaders there was a little
discussion among the various members of the castes. They
hjad a mild interest in who would take over as ruler of the
castles.
The sub-grand ruler decided there must be some way
of finding who would look after the little princess and take
over as ruler of this castle.
But being a student of government he decided the best
way to make the selection was to have an election.
Heralds were sent out all over the countryside announc
ing the coming election for prince of the castle. When the
heralds made the announcement and our hero—the little fair
haired lad—heard about it he decided he would make applica
tion for the job.
All of this was well and good—when the hero does some
thing, it has to be good.
The Chancellor - Of-The-Castle-Taking-Over-Department
looked at the hero’s application; he said it was good.
After all the hero had killed the right number of dragons
to become a candidate and he was not in the lowest caste.

He said “although the opportun

stage adequately for their work,
but usually must apply themselves
quickly and intensely to the prob

sold along with a few other old
houses on the campus through seal

It is the last one of the houses
to be removed from the campus.
The houses were used as resi

various other ways as necessity
prevailed.
The Moore House recently was

old Campus Corner Post Office

“Industry must protect and pro
mote the welfare of a community.”
George Smith, president, St. Louis
chamber of commerce, Said in an
address on community factors in
fluencing worker satisfaction,
Wednesday afternoon.
“It—and not the community—
should concern itself about its own
nuisances such as smoke, noise,
water, and air pollution and the
like. It should consider prevailing
wind directions, effective anti
smoke devices, waste disposal and
the impact its location will have
on traffic jams around opening
and closing time.
“If it does these things and
does them well,” Smith said, “then
industry has a right, in rettirn for
the basic dollars it will pour into
the commercial blood stream of a
city, to expect that the community
will do its part to insure condi
tions conducive to health, con
tentment and culture, for its em
ployees and its officers.”
“Understand Sybject”
D’Alton Myers, Bureau Labor
Statics, USDA, Washington, an
other speaker offered a word to
those still in college either as un
dergraduate or as graduate stu
dents. “There is nothing more im
portant to the future of our coun
try than thorough understanding
of this subject of how men can
best live and work with their fel
low men.
Forms of organization, manage
ment policies and the type of lead
ership available in all fields of our
national life will do much to deter
mine the quality of life we arc
going to lead as well as our pro
duction efficiency.”

Out of formality the hero’s name was put on a ballot and

it was issued to the people living - in the castle for final ap- LOFOS

(Continued from Page 1)
This is getting too tame, so lets put in a villian or so.
A group of top caste persons got together and decided
it would not be right for a member of the next-to-the-bottom
caste to take over the castle and become ruler. So they had
a little meeting. Top caste persons who were eligible, got
together and decided the only way to keep the hero from be
coming ruler was to write in a top caste name on the ballot.
To find out who should get his name written in on the
ballot and become the ruler of the castle, they flipped coins.
The winner was selected by fate and the other caste men said
they would support him in the election.
When the time came to vote for the ruler of the castle
the top caste men got together and told members of the
next to the lowest caste, second from the top caste and other
interested parties they should vote for the man in the top
caste. Now since the men in the top caste have a direct
phone connection to heaven they could do no wrong.
The election was carried out—one of the members of the
top caste checked the votes from the voters to see that they
did not make the mistake and vote for the second from the
bottom man.
Low and behold the voting was over and to the amaze
ment of all, the top caste man won the election with 92 votes.
The little fair haired hero only got 24 votes. The names of
the top caste man and the second from the bottom caste man
were the only names voted on by the people who lived in the
castle.
The little hero walked slowly away.
MORAL: It isn’t well for the men in the low caste to
forget their position in life. Or: Don’t believe in fairy tales
.... They don’t always have a happy ending.
