In June many young men and
women will graduate from high
school and college. Most of these
young people will be looking for
jobs. All of them will be anxious

Ihose individuals who feel that the
world owes them living are go

not, in my opinion, what they

Whereas, the employee who

day business is being done on a
very large volume, at very low
/ rates of profit. Taxes take a high
percentage of net proflts.
Let's look at it from the farm
ers' point of view For the past
three or four years farmers have
been in the price squeeze between
the high costs of materials they
have to buy and the price they get
for the products they sell. There is
nlenty of competition in this busi-
ness of farming. Farmers can tell
YOU that they are not suffering
from the lack of competition but
are having to watch their costs of
production very carefully less they
get ont of hand Like the avearge
business man farmers are increas-
ing their volume of business. Pres
ent day agriculture surpluses are
an indication that the farmer is be-
ing hard-pressed on all sides.
Ask the merchant does he feel
there is competition and the ans
wer will be yes, he has plenty OF
competition 1t is stlff.
don't believe competition is
harmful unless it becomes destruc-
tive. 1t has made our nation what
il is today-the best place to live.
There are people who do not like
cur system of doing business but
until something better comes along,
I'm sure the majority of people
would prefer to do business the
american way"
am not criticiZing our high
schools. our teachers or boards OF
education. | am merely trying to
point out the fact that there is
good. stiff competition in any bus
mess sooner or later. am sure
most of our high school students
throughout our land do not be-
lieve that it is wrong to conduct a
business enterprise for profit
motive | am also confident that
many of our citizens fail to appre-
cjate the actual situation as it ex-
lists. | believe we have got to get
awav from the idea of keeping up
with the Joneses." We have got
to be practical and learn to save
systematically Personally, / be-
lieve, the profit motive is the best
way of preserving our free eco
nomic system. | believe, too, that
there are many people VINO never
accomplish as much as they could.
They lust don't develop their abil-
tiles nor do they use them to their
best advantages. Each of us have
different desires, needs and wants.
Most of us are willing to work in
order to be able to buy the things
we need and want.
Workers who do not produce all
they can are expensive employees
. to any organization. In times of
depression, these people are the
first ones discharged and when
times get better they are the last
oaes to be hired. Certainly this
type Of thinking is not conducive
to good citizenship.

Diploma Day HairdOs
Go On To The Dance
BY VIVIAN BROWN
HP Newsfeufures Beauty Editor

Be feminine looking on your
graduation day. If you want to look
like a sweet girl graduate in cap
and gown, you'll need to show some
hair at your ears. Otherwise,
says hairdresser James Caesar OF
New York, 1T may be hard to tell
from the back whether ii is a he OF
she under the mortar board"
Caesar doubts that hair will GO
down, down, down to the shoulders
and below as in the wild and woolly
long-hair era during the war. But
the coiffure is little longer this
year. A blessing, he says. because
SO many variations of basic hair
cut may be achieved. He explains !:
'sIf the hair is kept about one inch
below the hairline you can still do
interesting coiffures. A simple soft
page-boy type Golf for daytime may
be brushed into a lovely classical
line for evening wear"
Avoid kinkly all-oVer permanent
wave, the type that is given for
poodle hairdo effects, he says. He
recommends a soft-curl technique
with smooth waves close to the head
and slight curls at the ends for
softneSS.
Caesar says the average woman
is SO accustomed to the freedom
of shorter hair that she will rebel
as long as possible against fashion
dictates that try to sell her on
longer hair fashions. Says he:
colder women know that shorter
hair makes them look more youth
full, an effect they surely seek.
Younger girls like the shorter colt
fure because ii is easy to care for,
they can look the schoolgirl part
by day and the sophisticated charm
er by night, switch that couldn't
be achieved, however, with the
jagged hairdos of last year"
Caesar believes in booster curl
service for tired old permanents.
His customers get one about two
and a half months after the origin
al permanent wave. He gives fresh
curls from the temples down,
beauty thought for your own salon
operator.
The hair grooming pointer for the
graduate to observe is that sleek
shining look, Caesar says. Even if
you do your hair at home, this may
be achieved with good shampoo
and few pin curls at hair ends.
When the hair is combed out it
should look smooth and youthful.
Then when you go off to the school
dance and graduation parties, you
can pin up your ends or swirl them
around to your liking.

Memorial Day
Deaths Predicted

Speeding, driving on the wrong
side of the road. and recklessness
will cause 319 deaths of a predicted
nationwide total of 425 highway
accident fatalities during the three
day Memorial Day weekend start
ing Friday night, the Association OF
Casualty and Surety Companies
announced here today.
Excessive speed is expected TO
be the number one killer" taking
a toll of 10 lives. Eighty-fve more
persons will meet death as result
of driving on the wrong side of the
road, and another 64 will die be-
cause of recklessness.
Other major factors contributing
to the grim score of 425 victims
are: failure to yeild the right OF
way, which will account for 43 lives
and sleeping at the wheel, which
will take 25. Miscellaneous causes
will kill the final 38 of the pre-
dicted total
Approximately II of drivers who
are involved in fatal accidents, or
DeUeSLTldUS WHO are hiticu, Will
have been drinking. Most smash
ups will take place on straight,
dry roads, and almost half of all
fatalities will occur in broad day
light
"This needless waste of life could
easily be avoided" said Thomas
N. Boate. manager of the AssOci-
atoms accident prevention depart
ment, ''if drivers would follow a
few basic rules of safety and
practice courtesy behind the wheel.
Driving at a safe speed, alone, can
cut the toll almost two-thirds, for
in a 65-mile-an-hour accident death
comes to one out of every six per-
sons while in DO mile-an hour
accident the ratio is reduced to
one out of every Is. If you are TAX
ing trip on the Memorial Dav
weekend, drive at safe speed
and get there alive"

suppose you might call this public
relations.
1t is interesting to find out just
how the public feels toward GER
tain problems. For instance over
the weekend l had a chance to
read the Milford Chronicle, a news
paper printed here on the Eastern
Shore. | have been reading this
paper for thirty years. My dad and
mother read it before me.
This paper has carried a news
item on page 4, the editorial page,
entitled, Good News for the Com
munists." 1t really caught my at
tention. 1t got me to thinking why
do people feel that way?
With the permission of the Mil
ford Chronicle, | would like to
quote verbatim this article from
the Friday, May 20, 1866, edition ::
GOOD NEWS FOR COMMUN-
ISTS"-If survey made by the
Opinion Research Corporation
among seniors in sc high schools
scattered across the country is cor
rect there is something alarmingly
wrong with American education.
According to the results 82% of
the students lin sc high schools)
do not believe we have competitor
in business; 600 feels owners get
too large share of profits; 61%
reject the profit motive is neceS-
sary to the survival of our free
system; $50 accept the classic
communistic doctrine, for from
each according to ability, to each
according to needs; 600 think
workers should not produce all he
can. This should make the men in
the Kremlin and our other ideo-
logical enemies happy for if such
views are widely held and acted
upon by our citizens of tomorrow.
we will destroy our nation from
within-which is what communists
want beyond anything else"
Let's take this idea of lack of
competition in business or is there
a lack of competition in business? ?
To make sure just what cOmpeti-
tion is in Caroline County, | called
Mr.. George Beck of the Beck Chew
rolet Sales and this is what he
said, Competition. there is plenty
of it and little profit. In fact, pro-
fits are way off. In 1854 only 1870
of all the dealers showed a profit
Predictions are that this number
will be less in 1855 than ir 1854"
Then | called the NTtLIe Lumber
Company and talked with Mr.. Elias
Nuttle. This is the picture in the
lumber business--"CompetitiOn is
very keen; the profit margin is
small and taxes are high. Amy con-
tractor can tell you that competi-
tion is plenty rough these days.
Local, county, state and federal
taxes take more than 52% of all
net profits"
| called the Willis & Covell Feed
Company and talked with Mr.. Ed
ward Covell, Jr., and he said,
There is good, competitive com
petition in the feed business. 1t
has brought the conversion of feed
per pound of broilers raised from
four pounds to 21a to 8 pounds of
