Meeting with small gros.ps o,

this month will have brought this
message personally 10 Sharp 4
Oohmes approximately 1900
workers. Through the use Of
charts and simple anaiogies. he IS
demonstrating the vital role Of
profits and earnings in assuring
workers at all levels OF steady EN-
ployment At good pay
Owners Problems Cited.
lnoustr!aiists and businessmen
acutely aware OF the difrSculty cur
rently OF raising equity capital,
may be interested 10 learn that
Mr.. ZinnSer is bringing out the
need OF Offering the owners O..
business, the stockholders. q fair
return on their money. II he can
register this point ne also may
cause labor 70 be more sympa
thetic toward the problems OF
management.
Sharp d Dohme employees are
being acquainted with the COM
petitlre side OF business. Mr.
Ztnnser explains; "Earnings also
make 1t possible for our manage
ment TO take the necessary steps
TO keep our firm in a good COM
petitive position in a highly COM
petitive industry. they enable us
to expand our products. our mar
kets and our facilities"
Mr.. Zinnser then goes on TO ex-
plain how a good earnings picture
in l948 enabled the company 10
sell some 20s 900 additional shares
OF common stock and thereby ac-
auire funds with which IL expects
to pay for its proposed new med
ical research laboratories.
Good Earnings Stressed.
He also reminds his audiences
that earnings not distributed In
dividends 10 stockholders are
plowed back in the form OF re-
search and increased production
and sales facilities. He concludes:
1T is clear that the security of
our jobs depends upon the main
tenance OF a good earnings or
profit picture.
A year ago, such q message
probably would have been received
with cynicism. II not hostility. To-
day. there Is more understanding
OF the real significance Of profits
and earnings. This slowly ripen-
ing understanding may eneender
better labor management rela-
tions and defeat those whose real
purpose Is to destroy free enter

CONTROL OF o

1 NOTE AN article in your Feb.
Is issue on school organization, by
Dewitt Clark, in which he wonders
who is really behind the scheme to
take control of III school system.
In my estimation it does not mat
ter so much who or what is the
niger in the wood pile as it does
what are we going to do about it.
The place for control of
schools is in the hands of the parents
and voters. Any radical change in
our school system should be voted
on at a general election. This idea
of placing our schools under a dicta-
tor is, to say the least, un-American
and should not be allowed. They
who control our school system today,
will control our country tomorrow.

BELIEVES IN SET PARITY

MY OPINION is we should have
a set parity. No doubt, now as in
the past, farmers will receive the
lowest point, so percent. I'm sure
we all feel that unless we have con-
tinued good yields we cannot oper-
ate at a profit with labor and repairs
80 high and another increase in our
gas.
I also feel we will need a set acre
age to maintain a good farming
method. Low prices will encourage
shotgun farming of large acreages.
This Swear period of computing
acreage seems a little unfair too.
The farmer that owned his own land
and fallowed part to keep it in good
condition is penalized, while the
man that planted it all every year
and made a cleaning on present
prices is still going to clean up. These
things seem TO contradict the cause
Of the AGA program altogether
