4. In thankfulness for the opportunity given me by my admission to a learned profession and as a humble human being to take any oppor-
tunity that offers of doing good by service to the community and my fellow men. A code for the factory boss, by Michael Drucquer: The vast majority of jobs in this society involve the taking of orders from a higher authority, whether it be the company, or the government or the local county council. Thus an ethical code for a hole-digger turns out to be vague, more like the Ten Commandments, which can be interpreted on a personal level. One ethical code cannot be very different from another—it is more a question of stress on certain items. I chose a job that morally is sometimes made out to be part of an evil machine— the factory boss. I have no particular intention of becoming a factory boss—making say, furniture. A specialised factory has, apart from what it makes, a very important duty. For it provides work for possibly thousands of people who depend on the factory. It is in the management's power to control to a certain extent the lives of those people. His aims should be broad; that his employees are given a chance to raise a family in decent conditions, with a safe house and good food, that his employees are well enough supported to be able to live in an environment which aids, and does not hinder, human beings living together. That the factory should not be viewed simply as a profit-making enterprise, but as the centre of life for its employees. He should encourage a situation where the most unskilled worker is not totally separated from the workings of the machine of which he is an important part. The factory can be a centre for people of all races and can therefore be a vital part in the establishing of harmonious race relations. The factory is a specialist place and there is a danger of it becoming inward instead of outward looking. The employees should not have to turn to the factory as a base for their own political feelings, for once it has aligned itself with a political programme, the natural differences between themselves causes inevitable conflict. If men of all beliefs and colour are to live together, then the ideals of a factory must be high; that the people in the factory organise themselves not to attack other institutions but to live together. The emphasis must be humanist, not political or profitgaining, and the primary concern the mental health of the employees. The position of the factory boss in the above can depend on your political beliefs. But I attempted to take a point of view that starts in the present; and there are factory bosses now. Perhaps one day, a communist interpretation of the problem will be justified, but until then, the people at the top must think of how to achieve a balance between the basic ideals I have listed and the present situation of conflict.
MUSIC CHOIR This has definitely been the year of the Choir Stalls—so long awaited, and so excellently fulfilling their purpose. The Concert given in Chapel brought the stalls into use and demonstrated their versatility. Palestrina's Tu es Petrus was sung with the stalls in their orthodox position, then, 15
