to think of it, perhaps it was
for the protection of this I'M
profitable gentleman and his
progeny that the New Deal has
built up protective agencies and
promulgated the S c h o o of
thought which teaches that
communal enterprise rather than
personal enterprise is the route
to Utopian Way of Life.
However, we are inclined to
believe that there are some
wise" and some foolish" people
among us. The former shall
profit by the experience of an
other group who made the head
lines in another day. This story
of ten women: five wise and
five foolish. Those who We're
foolish took their lamps and took,
no OIL with them when they set
forth to meet the bridegroom.
The wise took oil in extra con-
tainers. The bridegroom was de-
layed, as usual, and when he
finally showed up around mid
night the women arose and
trimmed their lamps, and the
foolish said unto the wise, Give
us some oil; our lamps have
gone out. )"
Naturally, the wise ones told
the foolish sisters to go buy
their own oil and in the mean
time the bridegroom came and
those who were ready went in
with him to the marriage and
the door was shut. And when the
foolish wedding guests came
dashing up, they could not get
past the doorman And so they
missed the wedding feast.
We are not thinking in terms
of a feast" in the postwar
period. We are thinking in terms
of survival We believe that the
man who has converted his
wartime money into property
will be rated among the wise. "
The wisest of these will be those
who have converted their war
time money into potential oil
lands or the ownership of oil in

Can We Get Ahead?

The true, meaning of the
American Way of Life-as COM
pared with European systems
is the opportunity of the indi-
vidual to make money by the in
vestment of his savings in profit
able enterprise.
World history proves that no
man can acquire wealth by the
earnings of his hands alone. Saw
ings from wages or salary viii
not give financial independence
nor Injuries 1t is expected of
man that he will INVEST his
savings and his investments may
earn more than the wages or
salaries which created his saw
ings and resultant investments.
Nor is it a crime to strive
for success. We recall the famous
story of the man travelling into
far country who called in his
servants and gave each of them
sum of money. Here in the
West we would say that he
''grubstaked" them. To one he
gave five gold pieces; to another
two and to the third he gave one
gold piece. The one who re-
ceived the five went and traded
with the same and doubled his
money; the one who received
two also gained another two. But
the man who received one went
and buried his money in the
earth, figuring that his old age
pension and social security
would take care of him.
After long time the boss re-
turned and checked up with his
former employees. The one who
had doubled his five pieces of
gold was rewarded with man.
agership-at any rate, ruler
over many things" The one
who had doubled his two was
likewise rewarded with a good
Job. The third, who had received
the one piece of gold was of the
New Deal school of thought. He
justified his failure to capitalize
his opportunity by calling his
former boss a chiseler and CAPT
talist, or TO quote him more ac-
curately: 81 knew thee that thou
art hard man, reaping where
thou hast not sown and gather
ing where thou hast not strawed:
and | was afraid and went and
hid my gold piece (talent) in
the earth: 10 there thou hast that
which is thine"
The boss was not pleased with
that speech and he laid down
some rules which have shown

tervening 2,00O-plus years. Call.

gold piece, giving it to the man

upon he ordered the ''unprofit.
