BABSON Discusses What To Save

ned in a napkin" which some day
may have very much less purchas-
ing power.
Many good common stocks sell
for a few dollars per share. After
the child saves this amount in the
TOW bank he may we'll be taught to
buv an interest (real ownership
in some company making product
with which the child is acquainted.
Then, when he eats or wears or uses
the nroduct he can honestly tell his
playmates that he is one of the part
owners of the concern! After the
child saves ten dollars, it might be
well for the parent to add some
thing so the child can buy share
of stock in a local bank, or the
local public utility, or one of the
local chain, variety or grocery
stores.
If you wish to teach your chill

only little money, instead of put
ting it all into one factory, one
store, or one railroad, you can buy
stock in mutual or cooperative"
company which hold stocks in per-
haps one hundred different COM
panies, in all of which you could
have an indirect interest.
TRAINING IN INVESTING
My main appeal is that parents
start early to teach children not
only to save, but to wisely invest
in: % small bank account; (2)
little life insurance; 60 some fur
niture which will be worth more
100 years hence; and ca surely
some stock in good local compan-
les. Begin with one share selling
at few dollars. Such a program
should be good for your children,
for the parents, and for the nation
as whole.
( No home or business owners ever
1 become communists! Besides, the
trouble with the Truman plan to
! re-distribute the wealth is that he
does not tell the people in what to
put their increased wages. Hence
too much of this increase now goes
into gambling, liquor, entertain
ment, and other harmful or waste
full things, To make a re-distribu-
ton of wealth stick, and be useful
we should be taught when children
! in what to safely invest.

National Board of Fire Underwriters, points
out that sin many cities, the adoption of
suitable building codes has been delayed too
long because of the time, engineering talent,
research and money needed to prepare a
code, have it approved and published" That
barrier to code adoption has now been elm
mated. The National Board is offering its
new National Building Code to interested
persons. 1t is the result of intensive work
by fire protection experts, public officials,
authorities on building, and others. In adj
dition, the board has prepared an abbre-
waited edition of the code for municipalities
which feel that their needs can be met by
briefer and simpler law This short version
is especially suited to smaller towns, which
do not have so complex fire prevention
problem as the great cities. Both the new
codes proved the same safety standards. They
permit the use of any material, type of as
sembly, or style of architecture that meets
the required standards of strength, stability
and fire resistance. In other words, they have
been prepared to fit conditions in any COM
munity in any section of the country. This
is an important step forward in, the war
against fire. Fire traps, inferior building,
the use of Substandard appliances and mate
rails, lack of suitable fire fighting equipment
in places of business-theSe and related
causes contribute to much of our annual death
and property destruction by fire. Fire pre-
vention is one of the primary community
duties. A modern code, properly enforced,
is an essential weapon.

taught to take it all to local Saw
ings Bank or to wisely invest part
of it in "good furniture. good books
and good common stocks?" For an
adult, l also recommend properly
located fertile land as the best in
vestment of all. l believe in a rea-
sonable amount of the cheapest
life insurance, bought for insurance
only and known as TERN Renew
able" I believe that children should
be taught to buy good furniture in
their teens and not wait until they
are married. 1 believe that practi-
cal, higher education which will
teach young people to become ex-
perts in some profession, in secre-
tarial work, in merchandising, or
in general business is a very prof
liable investment for ones savings.
WHAT ABOUT COMMON STOCKS?
Most of my critics object to my
recommendation that children be
taught to buy good common
stocks" Let me earnestly defend
this advice. I see very little diff
erence in buying good land or in
buying good stocks. In either case
you get only piece of paper for
your money. With the land pur-
chase this paper is called a deed,
while with the stock. purchase it is
called a certificate" In both cases
the price fiuctuates and the income
is uncertain; but both should av-
erage out better than money wrap

Rural Renters Menacsd

There is every indication that
the folks who rent property in the
smaller towns and rural commune
ties are due for substantial rent
increases under the new rent con-
troll law recently passed by con-
gress lifting the bulk OF respon-
Sibility from the shoulders of con-
gress to local officials in the cities
and towns and the governors of the
several states. This is another in
dication of the passing of that
party and personal responsibility
in this congress about which we
wrote last week.
Results win be certain abOIi-
ton Of rent control in rural
areas, particularly in the South,
and the southern sOlOns could
go along on this premise, since
relatively few renters in the
South are voters. But In north
ern states and the larger cities
there likely will be no decOntrOI
because it would be political
suicide for local officials to lift
controls.
So with rent controls in the Nortl
and no rent control in the South
just one more artificial barrier il
created between the two sections
of the nation.

THAT ISOLATIONISM is not dead.

Sen. william E. Jenner eR-Ind.) in
a three-hour speech on the senate
floor called for repeal of the Mar
shall plan; urged the senate to re-
fuse to approve further appropria-
tions for it; refused to adhere to
any bipartisan foreign policy:
praised the action Of Senators
Lodge. Borah, Hi Johnson and other
isolationists of the 1920 era in keep
ing this country out Of the League
of Nations; declares this country
is ''hated around the world be-
cause Of our material possessions
and our humanitarian attempts to
relieve suffering and our out-pcur-
ing Of money to stay other Demo-
cratic governments; declared that
World War II was not the result OF
our failure to join the League Of Ma
tons, but that it was deliberately
planned; castigated our foreign
policy and charged that ''secret
diplomacy is the rule and not the
exception; charged that this ma
ton "our own country and our own
leaders have been party to con
spiracy which has permitted Rus
STA to gain the place she holds to
day in world AFFAIRS
He charged that this country
has directly violated the Allan
tic charter; that the signing Of
the Atlantic pact is what Rus
STA wants and will enable Rus
STA TO win the cold war without
firing a shot; and the HoOsier
senator predicted that the very
countries we are helping to-
day will automatically become

Martin Policy Sound

This reporter recently had a long
talk with Congressman Joe Martin
of Massachusetts. Although he has
moved out of the speakers office
which he occupied during the Both

minority leader, he still rates
pretentious private office in the
Capitol.
It's to be reached down a mar
row corridor which sIants off
from the Hall of Statues. First
on his program is a campaign
to sell the American people on
the record of the Republican
party in both the SOth and the

black eyes snap when he talks
about it, for he believes If the
people once ''knOw the facts,
the results will be different In

The canny New Highlander has
a down-to-earth philosophy with
which few can disagree at least
while he's talking, using frequent
gestures with a paper knife to
punctuate his remarks. And apropos
the position Of Senator Jenner on
