Improved Selling

In a recent address, DR.. Paul H. Nys-
from, Professor of Marketing at Column
bia University, dealt with selling problems
that confront manufacturers and retailers.
Modern selling, he observed, makes
more and better use of advertising and Of
display. Marked advances have been made
in visualizing and demonstrating the worth
of products. On the other hand, he con-
tinued, there has been a''serious decline
in efficiency in personal selling" BY and
large, statesmen for manufacturers, whole
sale houses and retail stores now do less
selling, perform fewer services for their
customers know less about their goods,
and cost more than in prewar days. This
is due in part to reduced hours of work,
coupled with higher pay. 1t is also true,
however, that too many salespeople lack
drive, and tend to lean more and more
heavily for results upon the aids of adver-
Using, display and packaging
The remedy, DR.. Nystrom believes, is
long-range training to build up the know
ledge, habits, attitudes and enthusiasms
WhlCn are necessary 10 successful human
contact work That training will require
years in many cases, and campaigns which
are limited to few days or weeks, Of the
six easy lessons variety' will not work.
The born salesman who can sell any
thing, is rare bird, and there Will never
be enough Of him; to meet the needs Of
American business. The average salesman.
who is the backbone Of any sales or8ani-
cation, learns relatively slowly, and he
must be carefully guided and trained.
DR.. Nystrom has pointed to one more
way in which all kinds of retail business,
chain and independent, can make further
achievements in holding down its over
head costs as a means Of controlling the
cost of goods to the consumer. In the days
ahead, stores with the most efficient sales
staffs will have a substantial competitive
edge over those where sales personnel lack
knowledge and drive.

At the same time, the health authorities
and food experts point out that much of
the pleasant taste of many of our foods
come from fats. Fatty foods add a great
deal of zest to many dishes.
And it has been proved without ques-
ton of doubt by research chemists and
food experts that fats are highly dgestible.
Recent tests on meat fats particularly have
shown a digestibility ranging up to $780,.
Development of special meat fat pro-
ducts with high shortening power and
their ability to retain their freshness even
though not kept under refrigeration, means
that adequate supplies of nigh grade short
ening can be kept on hand throughout
the summer-ready for use in providing
the energy supplying foods to replace the
calories burned out in summertime play.

Sell Beans In West jefferson


Farmers throughout this area are urged
to sell their beans in West Jefferson. Local
auction markets, not only offer prices and
service comparable or better to those found
elsewhere these, local markets also offer
growers an opportunity to sell their beans
at home and eliminate travel expense and
time
Then too these markets, home owned
and home-operated, take personal inter-
est in the growers. Every effort is made
to secure the best possible service and
price for the growers. Growers, who have
sold on these marketSFnow this, those, who
have not, will find this to be true, when
they bring their beans in for sale.
West jefferson merchants and other
institutions also offer many advantages to
growers, by supplying shopping needs. AS
the season opens we urge that you sell
YOUR beans in West jefferson and while
YOU are here supply your other needs at
the establishments of West Jefferson Aler-
chants. They are ready to serve you at
all times.

Energy For Summer

The good old summertime is here and
the opportunity for youngsters to burn up
an even greater supply of energy is now
with u.s. Baseball games, bicycles, swimm-
ing, roller skating, and the thousands and
one other things in" which boys and girls
find opportunity for strenuous exercise,
mean even greater care in menu planning
If the children seem to have greater
than usual liking for pies, pastries, or var
ious other foods which contain fats, it pro-
badly is simply wise old Mother Nature
urging them to eat such foods. For dletl-
tians and nutritionists tell us, fats are ca
pable of furnishing more than twice as
much energy as the same amounts OF
carbohydrates.
Fats yield nine calories per gram, with
carbohydrates yielding four to the gram.

Fifty-two congressman have
signed a petition to force some
action of the joint house-senate
economic committee on the Pres
idents economic report to the
congress, as provided by the full
employment act of 1916. The
Presidents report was filed with
the congress by the President
last January but no action has
been taken although the law
requires is.
That the power of the house
appropriations committee could
wreck the foreign policy of the
nation is seen in the fact that
although both houses of congress
have passed, and the president
has signed, the 400 million dol
lar loan to Greece and Turkey
which is now national policy,
no appropriation has been made
to provide the money. Congress-
man Taber of New York, chair
man of the house appropriations
committee says he's going to have
a good look at the 400 million
dollars to see if it is really need
ed before the house makes the
appropriation. Sen. Carl Hatch of
New Mexico recently questioned
the right of a house committee
to "veto" or nullify an action
approved by both houses and
the President. At any rate, the
Taber committee is assuming the
right.

ublic Responsibility

In May. the Presidents Conference on
Fire Prevention adopted an Action Pro-
gram which should be put into effect in
every state without delay. One Of its es-
sential proposals is that governors ap-
point statewide fire safety committees
and that each state hold fire prevention
conference to establish a practical line
of action tailored to its own particular
needs.
The Action Program is all-inclusive. 1t
contains recommendations, framed by the
leading fire prevention experts OF the ma
ton, on such vital matters as law enforce
ment, building construction, fire-fighting
services, public education, and research.
But it will be of no avail if states and
communities fail to put it into effect. It Of
fers the nation an ppOrtunity-and it is
up to the people to accept it.
No one can doubt that the magnitude
of our fire loss constitutes a real nation
al emergency. More than 10000 lives
and 1851 ,OO0000 worth Of property were
destroyed last year. The total, unless it is
checked, will be higher this year. Month
after month, the figures have been rising.
In opening the Conference, President
Truman said: Fire Prevention is a year
round public responsibility. l believe the
highest state and municipal officials must
assume greater responsibility for leader
ship in this field" The time to act is now.

The agricultural appropriation
bill will likely be the last such
bill approved by both houses Of
the congress. In the meantime, in
farm circles here there is talk
of farm revolt from the tradi-
tional ranks of the COP. Fact is
that the house vote on the apprO-
priation was the closest in this
session and at one time only six
COP votes kept the bill from be-
ing sent back to the committee.
Of the ia votes for re-commit-
ment only IL were republican
and five of those were from the
Iowa delegation. So the vote, 1870
to ia against recommitment, was
decided almost entirely on party
lines.
The only real republican OPP
position made to the farm cuts
was voiced by Representative
Clifford Hope of Kansas, chair
man of the house agricultural
committee. He declared that the
appropriations committee by it's
Slashes of some 341 millions of
dollars in the department funds
was taking away the initiative
of his committee" and partly
through Hopes efforts, 40 mil
lion dollars was returned to the
agricultural program. 1t is ex-
pected that the senate, as a re-
suit of the vigorous opposition
of the farm leadership will re-
store at least partially some of
the funds eliminated by the house,
particularly the soil conservation
and school lunch appropriations
and likely some of the cuts from
the rural electrical administra-
ton.
AS a result of the conference
of farm leaders, bankers and
others interested in the farm land
credit field, held at the instance
of President Truman early in
June, 1t is expected that pro-
gram, probably voluntary in ma
ture and intended to curb the
further increase of farm land
prices. will be adopted by lend
ers. This program is expected to
advise customers to hold on to
their savings; provide for higher
cash payments on sales involving
a farm mortgage; hold down CT
investments to prevent asSumpt-

up. On the bill to outlaw the
communist party, the proponents
declare the communist party is
subversive,- that is promotes the
overthrow of our form of govern
ment and our way of life and
that its primary allegiance is
to a foreign power. Those against
the bill declare that the Amer
lean concept Of democracy is to
allow free choice in the election
of officials from any political
party and that the best way to
outlaw communism is to make
democracy work better, here and
abroad.

Cleanliness

During war years when soap was a
mong the many shortages there were some
peSSimistS who believed that the people
of the United States would forget some Of
their habits of cleanliness Present indi-
cations reveal that this year will show
greatly increased facilities for cleanliness,
however,
Builders and home planners believe
we shall have more bathrooms, more bath
tubs, more hot water, more washing mach
ines, more Of almost everything that fac
ilitates cleanliness. At present, less than
half of the 81 million dwelling units in
the United States have bathtubs or show
ers. During the war, most of the manu-
facturers Of plumbing supplies devoted
their factories to making war materials.
Now practically all of them have recOnXer-
ted to civilian production. The Federal
Housing EXpeditor has helped by remov-
ing the control on the number of bath
rooms in new houses It is no longer neces-
sary for home builder to limit his
bathrooms to one for each 1900 square
feet of floor space.
Emergency production during the war
has taught employers the Importance of
providing adequate cleanup facilities.
We find on every hand desire to install
better Mushrooms, toilets and locker
rooms. In the food trades especially plant
sanitation and employee cleanliness have
made striking advance
On account of the shortage Of mater
ials and manpower during the war years,
we were obliged to let our public build
ings, our schools, our railroad stations, our
factories, and in many cases even our
homes get dirty; but that emergency has
passed and one of the most significant
signs of peace is the nationwide desire to
get clean again.
