Soldiers Giving Big Thought to Small Business

hington-Planning for the day when neither first sergeants nor civilian bosses will get in their hair, GIs are writing scores of let ters every day to the Small Busi' ness Division of the Department of Commerce.
 The standard opening line, 'I in tend to start small business after the war" is followed by request for information about starting an enterprise.
 No one, including the Depart .nlent of Commerce, has sure-fire formula for success, but one au- thority offers this advice to the estimated 3,o00,o00 soldiers who may try the business field during the postwar period:
 l. Have a knowledge of the line you're going into. 2. Have suffi- cient financing to start the venture. 3. Realize the competitive and other hazards in your field. 4. Have the wits to overcome difficult ties.
 These are not airy generalities but the result, of a study of the causes of past business failures, which include poor location" !" "over-buying," competition" and Tack of funds"
 In tracing case histories it was found that often the man who failed in business had started with funds that came from some kind of a "windfall." There were fewer cases of failure among men who had conscientiously saved to start a venture. Both government and business authorities urge system atic deposits in some form of Army savings now for the soldier who is serious about going into business later.

Art was kinda reticent about this interview, so forgive us if we sound bit incoherent
 Seems as we heard it through a mouthful of the General Mess best, he served for some months with the 18th Air Force in Italy. It also seems (chew- -chew) that he flew as the nose gunner in B-24 that was in a raid on the famed Polesti oil fields. IT also seems (chew-chew) that he forced to bail out over Rumania and was only re-
 gently released from that country when the Russians captured the prison where he was held. (Swallow) Before his adventures as a GI, Art was a clerk with the Atlas Pow
 der Company; his post plans are in- definite. His present job (the pie is deli cious) is as an athletic instructor at the gym. He likes to dance write letters-and eat.

By way of relaxation she likes to dance, swim, read romantic stories and just day-dream. At present she is on duty as a clerk at the Mess Officers office and, being so near food all day. has to watch her calories.
