WHERE TO GET A JOB

One eVer-present problem to young peo-
pie when they finish schools and colleges and
start out into the larger world is where to
get job.
Today there is a tremendous opportunity
IN the field of marketing, according to au-
tnorltles. Young people in growing num-
Defs are turning to retailing as a career. It
has been observed that marketers need "the
best youth in the country to become sales
men,"
Retailing, like all other branches of mar
ketlng, is as competitive an enterprise as
anyone can imagine. The day when all that
was necessary was to put goods on display
and then wait for the eager customers to
come locking in has long since passed. Sue
cesstul stores are putting more and more
stress on better selling, better advertising
oetter inducements and promotions of every
kind. Young people with the right aptitudes
and a Willingness to work and learn can earn
good incomes to start with, and Opportuni-
ties for future progress are virtually un-
limited.
Retailing has always been a business
which has brought its leaders up from the
ranks. AS an example, the top men in the
big chains systems began, for the most part
at or near the bOttOm-as clerks, warehouse
attendants, and so on. That's also true of
other kinds of stores. And TODAY the field
IS bigger and more promising than ever.
PORK ON THE HOOP
Did you ever think, rather wistfully. that
1t would be a good idea to buy prime hog
on the hoof and so get yourself some fine
center cut pork chops at bargain price?
II you actually succumbed to the dream,
ana bought pig from farmer, the expert
ence would be disillusiOning one.

z4O pounds. After it is dressed, the weight
drops to 18O pounds. There's a further Ioss
IN the cutting-up process-Only 1876 pounds
are meat cuts. And, believe it or not. of
tnat mere 10 pounds are the highly desired
center cut pork chops.
You'd have on your hands large ouanti-
ties OF pork products for which you'd have
relatively small use, such as lard and salt
pork. All in all, by the time you wound up
your experiment in buying pig on the hoof.
you'd have gone to a lot of trouble. YOU
wouldn't have the expected results, and
probably you'd have suffered a financial loss
as WE'LL
The packing industry performs the big
JoD OF seeing to it that the cuts of meat we
want are available when we want them. It'll
does that job at a profit which is so small
that consumers could hardly notice the diff
erence II 1t was eliminated. So there's Moth
ing to be gained and much to lose in buying
any meat animal on the hOOf

THE TRUTH ABOUT UNEMPLOYMENT
The argument that we must have vir-
tually unbTidled government spending in or
der to keep the economy going and to main
tain employment simply doesn't jibe with
the facts.
According to the New York Times. IN
employment at the end Of October amounted
to AZ per cent of the civilian labor force
This marked a substantial decline from the
Fe0ruary-Alarch percentage. Yet, the paper
says, the reduction in the number of un-
employed has been achieved in the face of a
cut6ack in Government spending in the same
period equal to an annual rate of S13.OOO.- |
OOO,OOO. 1t has been achieved, moreover.
without any depreciation in the purchasing
power of the dollar"
The Times points to a still more striking
LacC. save for l947 and 1913, both years. of
violent lntiation there is not a single peace
time year in the entire span of 1933-52
which shows an annual rate of unemplov-
ment as low as that prevailing at the pres
ent time"
Economical government is in the interest
oI amor as well as everyone else.
