In Union House Blaze

Firemen saved some $500 in cash
but the residence Of Charles Gere
an old landmark opposite Union
Church, near Milford, was practical
ly destroyed by fire about 10 a. M,
last Saturday.
Mr.. Gere had placed a pot of tar
on the kitchen stove to melt, in or-
der to patch a leak in the roof He
went into the yard to obtain more
wood, and while he was out the tar
boiled over, and set the dwelling
on fire.
Fire companies from Milford.
Glendale, and Houston responded.
but the fire had gained such head
way that little of the building re-
mains.
After the fire was under control
the firemen recovered about $500 in
bills in an upper room. The money
was found intact. Most of the con-
tents Of the dwelling were ruined
The back part of the house was
entirely burned, and the front part
destroyed. Mr.. Gere
lived alone.

They never learned that really to
sell you have to get close to a
prospect, get his confidence and
give him real service. But men of
this type are also found in Con-
gress, in labor unions, and, YES.
even in medicine So let's not nut
a blanket condemnation on the en-
tire selling profession.
What my reader did not fully
understand is the importance of
the salesman to our economy. She
did not quite seem to grasp the
idea that our country has learned
how to produce, not only all the
tremendous amount of military ma
terial we need, but also all the
consumer goods we can use. And
that the major fear of business
right now is the fear of Over-pro-
ductiOn. She does not realize that
the salesman is the king-pin in our
free economy, and that, by Great
lSg and satisfying enough new
wants, only he and those who sell
advertising can keep our economy
in high gear. The salesman is a
important person.
Job CeiiinS Unlimited
Sales work has a special appeal
to ambitious young men because
earnings are in direct proportion
to hard work and ability. The
salesman gets a terrific bang out
Of his job because he knows his
efforts cause people to raise their
standard-of-living. He knows. too.
that If only a thousand people buy
an article without salesmansbip. II
may cost $1,000, but with good
selling and resultant mass Droduc- /
ion, the consumer may set the
same article for as low as $500.

A good, creative salesman has
the spirit of the missionary-a lot
OF courage, honesty, unboundeC
energy, persistence, tirmness and
unusual adaptability. The good
salesman must be able to with
stand extreme Illustration, be able
to organize his own work under
pressure. The good salesman is
not clock watcher. He always
wishes the work day were Just a
little longer.
Good Statesmen Make Good
Incomes
Whether a young fellow starts
out as a manufacturers represen-
tatlVe, wholesale salesman, special
" salesman, sales engineer or re-
tail merchandiser, his opportuni-
ties are what he makes them. If
he's a good salesman he will want
TO work on commission. Then it's
strictly up to him whether he makes
$25 or $3.50 per week.
Starting guarantees for college
seniors wanting to sell range from
about $3.50 to $500. The aver
age after five years, is about $4,000;
the average ceiling in sales man
agement ranges between $4,000
$4,000 in medium-sized corpora
tlons, with some earnings going
much higher. Statesmen are the one
group who need no labor unions.
Ihey are the men who work up to
the top executive positions. AS I
look ahead 10 years, the way for a
young person to get ahead fastest.
ana at the same time make a real
contribution to our economy, is to
enter the sales field. To succeed.
however, he has to have the in
-erest, aptitude, persistence and
personal qualifications.

BABS0N Discusses Statesmen

BABSON PARK, Florida, Marcf
19-One of my readers has asked
me if we all would not be better
off without bOthersome statesmen
who get a foot in the door and
sell things people don't want. This
reader, a mother, said she hoped
that her son wouldn't grow up TO
be just a salesman. She had high
er aspirations for him.
The SaleSman's Reputation
Why do so many people TODAY
look down upon the salesman? To
get a clue to this, tried a parlor
test on a number of people, a test
which, by the way, is standard
psychological procedure used by
many advertising agencies in pre-
pairing copy. I asked a number of
people to write down, as rapidly as
possible, the words that came to
them when I mentioned the word
salesman"
Try this experiment. You will
get responses like this life

ems, books, magazines, etc. Yet.
those who call at your house to sell
these things represent only about
go of the total sales force of this
country. The $3.50 are selling to
the nations millions of retailers
and corporations.

probably always will have with
us, a few get-rich-quick pboys who

power to preserve the friend
ship and good will of our allies.
Hence, # what the Kren1lin
chooses to exhibit as an indi-
cation of honest intentions"
is accepted as such by France
and Britain but is questioned
by us we may have to readjust
our views to make them COIN
eide with those of our allies.
We have done so throughout
the war in Korea for the sake
of maintaining allied harmony.
The same principle may have
to. be adopted again for the
same purpose.
A factual analysis of the
political conditions in France
and Britain indicates that the
detectives at Bermuda have
changed since the parley was
first proposed by Prime Minis
ter Churchill last summer.
At that time London and
Washington were seriously
concerned over the rift be-
tween the United States and
it's Western European allies.
A conference was suggested
and was eagerly accepted by
Gen. Eisenhower for the pur-
pose of Strengthening out
major inter-allied difficulties
by direct talks with the British
and French Premiers.
Conditions in Europe have
not improved since last sum-
mer. The reluctance to step
up the NATO defenses has in
creased among the peoples of
that continent. The Kremlin
has displayed a skillful diplo-
macy toward our European
allies. They have now reached
the conclusion that an agree
ment with the Muscovites,
rather than increased arma-
ments, can be their salvation.
This sentiment is predominant
not only among the political
leaders in Western Europe but
among the masses on whom
these leaders depend to main
tain themselves in office.

pected to play "obbligato" to
Churchill at the Bermuda
meeting is now Premier of
Evening star., 1953-12-04
Constantine Brown

Advisers and friends of
President Eisenhower are
urging him, if conditions at
and after the Bermuda con-
ference make ineScapable a
meeting of the heads of state
of the Big Four, to insist that
such a conference be held in
the West, preferably in the
United States.
The President is being re-
minded that American public
opinion is now conditioned
against any further political
gatherings in or close to the
U. S S. r.
The conferences at Teheran
in 1943, at Yalta in 1945 and
at Potsdam a few months
later the same year have
marked important victories
for the U. S. S. r. and had
disastrous consequences for
the free world. Yalta in par
ticular has become synony-
nous in the American mind
with an American diplomatic
disaster. Hence for the sake
of his own and his party's
prestige Gen. Eisenhower
must not yield to Russia on
the site of another interna-
tional parley.
For the official record the
White House and the State
Department deny any idea
that the Bermuda talks could
end in any kind of an agree
ment to pave the way for a
meeting with the Communists.
The President and Secretary
of State Dulles insist that they
have not the slightest inten-
ton of changing the basic
terms for such an encounter:
That the MuScoviteS give con-
crete proof of their honesty
of purpose to have a real peace
after they have agreed to
settle the peace terms for Ger
many and Austria.
But concrete proof" is an
elastic expression. The Presi-
dent and Mr.. Dulles reiterated
the fundamental principles of
their foreign policies when
they said this week that we
must make every effort in our
