A Thought For The Week
One of the hardest things today
is to get a man to stop and think.
If people would only stop to think,
when they try to mix gasoline and
alcohol, there would be fewer
deaths on our highways. Most cars
today will climb very quickly to
100 miles an hour, yet we know of
several who have carried the
"heads" of their engines to a
machine shop to have them cut
down, to get more pep and speed
Is it any wonder we have an in
crease of deaths on the highway
with ''soUped up cars" and indi-
viduals behind the wheel who ney-

sense of responsibility. 1t is less
likely to begin major lay-offs
and wage reductions in the
face of a little adversely. Less
likely to panic. It is far more
likely to look around for new
ways to maintain production
than to sit back and do moth
ing.
This isn't speculation either.
During recent years several in
dividual industries have gone
through a kind of recession and
are starting to pull out. Textiles
is one. Paper is another. The
jewelry business was in trouble
in 1916 and 1947 and made the
necessary adjustments h
time.
Another example of forward
looking management is the au-
to industry's campaign to pro-
mote good roads. You might
think that auto makers would
prefer bad roads which ruin
autos so that new cars could be
sold more readily. But the auto
mobile and allied industries be-
lieve that the money motorists
would save because of better
driving conditions would go in
to new fields, new industries.
Thus new markets are created.
Finally, there are new devel-

some who argue the boom can't
last. That we're in for another

u. S. Chamber of Commerce
economists take a different view.
They believe that depressions
are not inevitable; that both
business and government have
learned a lot since the thirties
about licking the boom and
bust fiascos. They have learned
counter-measures. They are less
likely to be caught mapping if
business EeginS to drop.
Government, naturally, is a
major force in resisting depreS-
sions. BY purchasing it's own
bonds from the public it can
pour money into circulation.
Through loans, or the guaran-
tee of loans, government can
make it easier for business to
borrow money for working cap
ital or investment in new plants
and equipment. Or, by means
of its controls over banks, gov
eminent can reduce reserve re-
quirementS SO that banks can
loan with more freedom. Exper-
fence during the last depreS-
sion has shown how these con-
trolls can be used more effective
ly.
New factors are the Securities
and Exchange Commission and
the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation. With its tight con-
trolls over market speculation,
SEC can prevent one of the
evils leading to the last depreS-
sion. And citizens bank savings
now are insured up to $4,000
by FDIC.
Also new since the early thir-
ties are the government old
age and unemployment insur-
ance systems, providing a back
log of security against loss of
income due to age or unem-
ployment. And of course, many
business and industrial firms
have begun pension plans since
the thirtieS, providing addition
al insurance against hard
times.
Finally, there is a brighter
outlook for trade, another i'm
portant item in the prosperity
picture.
For it's part, business is bet
ter prepared for a depression
than it was back in 80. It has
learned. much about manage
ment. And it has a far bigger,
more versatile research plant
for the creation of new pro-
ducts when the sale of products
already on the market begins
to drop. Products which meet
basic needs resist depression.
This is not speculation. Refrig-
orator, electric washing ma
chine and radio sales, for eX-
ample, held up well during the
bleakeSt days of the thirties.
Today, many, many new pro-
ducts are on the drawing
boards or ready for market. A
refrigerator which makes up to
300 ice cubes per day without
trays is on its way to the GUS
toners. A big chocolate firm
has just introduced a versatile
cookie mix which can be used
for dozens of different cookies.
A st. Paul firm is developing
magnetic tape which will re-
cord televiSion programs the
way radio programs now are
recorded. TAPPED television would
be clearer than filmed and
much cheaper since tape can be
erased and reused.
These new products mean
new jobs, and new jobs mean
continued prosperity.
Further, business has a new
