Red Cross Roll
Call Endorsed

Il heartily endorse the work of
the Red Cross" says Mrs. B. M.
Gruwell, president of the Women's
Ten Thousand club" and hope the
present drive to aid in unemploy-
ment relief will be a most success
full one.
"To my mind the most important
factor in any relief work is that
stressed by the Red Cross, perma-
nency. Rehabilitation work Of the
Red Cross assures us that the chill
dren of families receiving help to-
day shall be self-supporting and
self -sustaining citizens of tomor-
row.
Work of the Red Cross in this
community will be particularly hard
this year and citizens should help
all they can"

HARD WORK URGED

ONE of the best ideas we have seen vet
" with reference to overcoming the
present lethargy in business. popularity
known as depression. though newspa-
per publishers frowned upon use of this
word at their meeting in Los Angeles
last week, comes from a nationally known
business leader, head of an industry man.
ufacturing an essential household COM
modify.
In a letter to all statesmen of his or
ganization, he advocates an intensive 10
days sales campaign. During this per-
iod all statesmen would put their Shout
ders to the wheel more energetically than
ever, in order TO increase their sales.
The salesman accustomed to calling on
eight prospects in a day, for instance,
would make every effort to see Is, even
if he had to work after hours in order
to do it.
This executive suggests that the plan
be adopted by other organizations besides
his own, and believes all branches of in
dustry will find it a means for stimulat-
ing sales.
He proposes to contact other business
leaders and if they approve of the plan.
January Of next year would be set aside
as an intensive sales month. Statesmen
would be provided with buttons designed
to show the prospect on whom they are
calling that they are out to make every
sale they can, not only for the immediate
financial return accruing to them but to
increase business in general, thereby
making more work for factories, sales
forces, producers of raw materials, trans
portation companies and so on down the
line.
1t sounds somewhat fantastic, Of
course, but when the plan is analysed, one
finds that all the executive is doing is
proposing that his statesmen work harder.
He has taken sort Of sugar coating and
put it around those two words work hard
err, in order to make them more palat-
able.
Like the statesmen, all of US get into ruts
and become afflicted with the "shirks",
particularly when things are coming easy.
Things came so easy prior to October,
q 1929, that anything savoring Of an effort
was to be lodged. Why work hard when
the money would roll in anyhow?
The past two years have been long
enough to moan over the good old days.
which were not such good days after all.
We have spent enough time wailing about
it, and the advice Of the executive men
toned herein is something that all of us
can stand whether we take it with or
without the sugar coating.
