A casual note recalls a social or business appointment that was canceled just before Christmas. The author frames the layoff as a fortunate turn, turning an awkward setback into a heartwarming holiday anecdote about grace and humor.
The author argues against critics who call executives soulless and ruthless. He recounts waiting hours for a top executive, then learning a grieving widow received time and pay for a departed employee. The story, repeated by others, suggests many leaders show humanity and loyalty, undermining the charge of universal greed. A note that a copy goes to the Daily Worker ends the piece.
A University of Idaho wildlife study shows coyotes eat a wide range from porcupines to cloth. Researchers collected coyote scat in the Salmon River mountains and analyzed it with help from students George Lea and Seymour Levy, noting foods from grouse and birds to plant matter and even red cloth.
Two Idaho extension service youths will compete for a national $1200 4-H fellowship and nine months of study in Washington D C. The award supports a young man and a young woman to pursue extensive study and experience in leadership and agricultural programs.
The program offers annually to outstanding men and women with four years of 4-H club work, funded by the national committees on boys and girls club work. From Sept 20, 1951, to June 30, 1952, fellows will study agricultural extension under the U.S. Department of Agriculture with half time on agricultural government activities and half on academic coursework. Idaho nominations will be reviewed by the national director of extension. applicants must have an agriculture or home economics degree and four years of club work prior to college.

A U S Chamber of Commerce report shows employers paid about 29 percent more in nonwage benefits to workers than two years earlier. Paid vacations pensions and similar benefits totaled 16 percent of payroll in 1949, equaling 23.7 cents per hour or roughly $477 per year per employee. The study analyzes nearly 700 business types and highlights the growing importance of these benefits.
A government wage data report argues current figures misstate true labor income and cost. Key items include pension and private insurance plans at 4.4 percent, Social Security 2.9 percent, paid vacations 3.3 percent, rest and lunch 1.4 percent, and bonuses 1 percent. The study titled The Hidden Payroll is available through local chambers of commerce.
