Personal Relations

One important phase of moderI
business science consists in wha
are called personnel relations. Il
is an important subject for study
by ambitious young folks looking
for business success.
It used to be said that the three
requirements in business were to
buy economically, to sell profit
ably, and to manufacture or distri-
butte goods efficiently. Now there
is fourth requirement, consisting
of maintaining team work and har-
monious relations between employ
er and employee.
Many people are obtaining excel
lent jobs in what is called person
mel work, in selecting the people
to be employed and in dealing with
them after they are employed. 1t
is a great art to decide which ap-
plicants are fitted to do certain
work and which ones lack such fit
ness. Also it takes a gift of lead
ership to secure the cooperation
and enthusiasm of employees.
Personnel problems touch not
merely the men and women who
have the responsible job of hiring
and managing. employees in large
concerns, but any person who has
the direction over a group Of work
ers, no matter how small. Discon-
tent is often said to exist in
working force, because the en-
ployes have friction with the fore
man or boss who is directly over
them.
The old saying is that in order
to command, one needs to learn to
obey. The worker who is promoted
from some simple job, should have
4 clear idea of how the people |
under him are feeling. He should
put himself in their place. He can
lot tolerate poor work or loafing,
,ut he needs to recognize when a
worker has genuine grievance.
He should show his workers how
hey can fit themselves to do better
work and obtain promotion. If
hat spirit runs through the oper-
ltions of a company, It will get an
lctive and energetic force of work
,rs, and the personnel pproblems
will be easily settled.

Small Business Needs Help


A new division has been Gre
ated at Washington, the purpose
of which is partly to speed up the
production of munitions, and part
ly to see that small business con-
Germs get a good share of defense
orders. 1t has been feared by some
that as many as 100000 people
would be thrown out of work by
the inability to get necessary ma
terials.
1t is a kind of industrial tragedy,
when some small business con-
cern, which does faithful worg
and employs a small group of men
or women, has to stop or slow
down, because the defense program
has taken the materials on which
it works. The American people
hate to see any silent wheels and
idle chimneys, particularly if such
plants could be used in creating
the war materials which the coun-
try so urgently needs.

Homo -Buildine Checkedl

Home Building Checked
Some difficulties are being felt
in the home building industry in
getting materials needed for house
construction. The defense indus
tries are taking such vast quanti-
ties of materials, that the needs Of
people for quiet and peaceful
homes may have to be adjourned
in many cases.
The world will seem a strange
contradiction of sense and reason,
If people can't build homes owing
to shortages of materials, while
these goods have to be used on ma
chimes of death and destruction.
The American people are not going
to quit their present policies for
any such reason. They would pre-
fer to live in garrets and base
ments, rather than see justice and
freedom trampled down to the
dust.

German Power

Many of our people had hoped
that the Russians, who have been
fighting bravely, would be able to
stop the German advance so that
the proud Nazis would be stuck in
the SHOWS of Russia for the win
ter. But the Nazis keep pushing
ahead, and have captured Kiev, one
of Russia's key cities, and have
also overrun the rich province
called the Ukraine.
Some people argue that the Ger
mans are invincible. The Germans
were getting ready for war with all
the energy, skill, and science they
possess for six years before the
rest of the world paid any great at
tention to it. When smart nation
gets a six years start on its rivals,
it takes some time to catch up.
That does not mean that it can
keep fighting indefinitely.
Milford chronicle., 1941-10-03
Which Motive?

If you want a boy to be honest
is it more effective to tell him
that honesty pays in money re-
suits, or that it is the only way
that will give him a clean con-
science? If you want people to go
to church, should you talk about
the valuable friends they will
make there, the nice suppers to be
enjoyed, etc? Or should you ask
them to come and help on the
cause of good conduct and reli-
gion?
If men and women were all an
gels, only the niger motives
would have to be used. Consider
ing the fascinations of the broad
and narrow way that leads to de-
the Lord will probably
forgive us if we point out that
people who do the right thing us
ually prosper and have a good
time.

Are You Full of Pep?

The end of the summer vacation
should find us all full of energy,
vigor, and pep, in promoting the
enterprises of our home town.
There are plenty of things to be
done by all interested in the pro-
gress of Milford. Its organiza-
tions should be handsomely sup
ported. People should attend
meetings called to promote pro-
gressive ideas, and should submit
ideas of their own.
When people are asked to serve
on committees to promote some
worthy end, they should be slow
to refuse. Unwillingness to help
means that you are failing to pull
your share of the load. Town pro-
gress depends on the willingness
of the people to give time, effort,
and money for the general welfare
of the community.

OUTLAW RECKLESS SPENDING

At the present time, government
is in the banking and financing
business on a tremendous scale.
And government must get out Of
that business if this country is to
avoid financial disaster.
If all the money so far appropri-
ated for defense-to say nothing of
additional appropriations that will
probably be made-is spent on
schedule, the deficit for the calen-
dar year of 1912 alone will be $780,

purposes only will total $500, 0,000,-
900 monthly. The proposed new

This defense spending cannot be
avoided. But economists agree
that very heavy cuts can be made
in non-defense spending without
sacrificing any really essential
government activity. On top OF
that, private credit, supplied by
banks and other sources, is ready
