On Living It Up

Babson Park, Mass, Jan. II.
Young people who entered college
last fall will have a tendency to
major in what looks good now.
This may he a mistake. l suggest,
instead, .that they look ahead four
years to 1860. and plan according
ly.
Make Use OF Your Abilities, But s.
The difference between a college
graduate who gets promoted on a
lob. and one who just gets a job,
is that the successful climber looks
ahead. The student who takes what
appears to be a good job now may
be sorry later. The careful career
planner, on the other hand, finds
out where he is going. The first
step in career planning is an ap-
praisal Of ones interests. abilities,
personality, and value goals. There
/ is little success or happiness if one
does not like the job he is doing.
A fellow is just butting his head
against the wall if he tries to com
pete in a job for which he has
neither the aptitude nor the per-
sonality.
The desire to make money, serve
mankind, or lose oneself in re-
search will usually determine sue
4 cess or failure. The successful per-
son is one who develops his assets
and does week for which he Is
fitted. at a Job which gives him
happiness. Yet. while these staDs

Counting The Pennies

The perennial procedure prob /
lem of the hen and the egg is
second only, in its regular recur-
renee. to the question of who poe
kets the difference between what
the farmer gets for his milk and
what the consumer pays for 1t,
which is usually twice as much
or more. Right now, for instance,
the question is up again in New
York, Michigan and California.
Because this difference goes into
SO many pockets, the answer IS
not easy to come by. But certainly
the most authorative information
available comes from the detailed
study-covering the whole D. s.

since 1941 under the sponsorship OF
the Milk Foundation. The report
for 1854, recently released by Pro-

shows that an average of 47.l5

STIRRING Up TROUBLE

Great Britain is the latest target OF So
Wet Foreign Minister Moltov. In q speech
made to the inhabitants OF the Medlterfan-
can island of Malta. he told them that the
Maltese are Italian by race and should be
allowed to attain their wish Of union with
Italy. ,.-,,-
The Maltese, however, are not Italians
and do not claim to be. They were origlnS1liy
. Semitic peOple. speaking a language akin
to Arabic and Hebrew They like to think
of themselves as descendants OF the seatar-
ing Phoenicians, the worlds first great COM
mercial people. Furthermore they feel no
kinship with Italy, and show no desire u
abandon their present status as a crown
colony of Great Britain.
Molotov's aim is to stir up unrest against
the British. Also he would like the Italians
to develop desire for adding Malta 70 their
possessions. The argument of racial rela-
tionship is used to this end. Apparently II
makes no difference to MolOtov whether II
be true or false.

DEDUCTIBLE BUSINESS

In case you've been wondering how to
report last summers safari expenses when
you do get around to filing out your income
tax return, worry no longer. It's all de-
ductible. A United States tax court decision
says it may be considered a business trip,
provided that you can prove you had any
business going on such a trip in the first
place.
Owners of a dairy in Pennsylvania went
on an African safari. They bagged some big
game took movies recording the trip, cap
tured a few animals for the local zoo and
when they got back, they entertained Gus
toners with dinners featuring choice cuts
of wild game. There is no doubt the purpose
of this mp was legitimate
But remember it must be a safari. Don't
try to deduct that camping trip. The rab-
bits YOU shot, those awful snap shots, the
turtles YOU brought back foE the kids mem

ison were not for business reasons. You had
fun. but with your guests as judge and jury
YOU had no business bringing your trip hoins

THE GRANGE ENDORSES $3.50

What is popularity known as the 5000
law has long been an integral part OF our
national maritime policy. 1t simply PROVIDES
that half of gOvernment-fnaEced cargos
must travel abroad on Annef1can-hag nlef-
chant ships-with the important qualltlca-
tions that the law applies only when these
ships are available, and the rates they offer
are reasonable.
There has. been considerable opposition
to the law, on the grounds that 1t imposes z
burden on American producers Of exported
commodities. In particular, the claim has
been made that it is doing serious damage
to farmers.
Happilv. that claim has been conclusive
" refuted by an organization which speaks
for the farmer with an authoritative voice
the National Grange. 1t has passed res
olution which saws: "The National Grange
considers the American merchant marine an
indispensable link to foreign markets as we'll
as an important auxiliary to our national
defense. Agriculture and our maritime IN
dustry have a mutual interest in building and
developing expanded foreign export markets
for United States farm products. We, there
fore, support the policies previously adopted
bv our government to place American ships
serving essential trade routes on a basis OF
competitive equality with foreign merchant
fleets and assure u. S. merchant ships falr
and equitable share, which the law now es-
tablishes as at least One-ha1, OF Unlted
States financed cargOs.
The Grange is not alone. Last November,
for instance, the Pacific Supply Cooperative,
an organization representing 10000 farm
ers in Oregon, Washington, Idaho and Nor
thern California, also passed resolution IN
favor of retaining the $3.50 law Other
groups taking similar action include the Ma
fional Industrial Traffic League and the Ma
tional Foreign Trade Council.
ANY reasonable measure which strength
ems our merchant marine is in the direct
dollars-and-cents interest of farmers, work
ers, and producers in every reach OF this
country.

ROOM APLENTY

AS is generally known, the farm pOpula-
ton has been declining while the size of the.
average farm mas been increasing. The ag-
ricultural economists seem virtually unani-
nous in believing that this trend will con-
! tinue, with fewer farmers and bigger farms.
The reason for it, of course, is the tech
biological revolutions that has resulted from
mechanizatiOn, electrifcatiOn, and other gil
gantic forward steps that farming has taken
in a comparatively short period Of time.
Some people, however, fear that all this
progress involves a serious danger dang
er that the family farm may be on the way
out, and that the future of farming lies in
huge, corporation-type enterprises.
The weight of evidence is against that

chanized equipment, starting with the trac
tor and going all the way down the long list
is an example. 1t makes it possible for the

PAYMENT FOR SERVICE

Congress has a high and rocky mountain
of issues to climb during the next few
months. It must deal with the tax question,
foreign aid, farm policy revision and many
other mOmentOUs subjects.
In concentrating on these vital matters,
however, it should not ignore some OF the
smaller but nevertheless important questions.
One of these that needs to be handled at
this session is the proposal that the govern
ment boost various fees and charges for
services to limited segments of the public
This is by no means a new idea, but the
program begun in 1851 has begged down
somewhat.
At present, the government performs
hundreds of special services at bargain rates
Many licenses and permits are issued fol
nominal fees, or even without charge Var
ious publications and documents may be ob
tanned at less than COST
Probably it would not be wise to insls
that all special federal services be paid TO
on a no-loss basis. The governments busi
ness is to serve the people, and we shOul,
be careful lest we erect barriers to effectiv
service. The basic philosophy behind var
ious fees and charges must be kept In minc
But surely many individuals and group
can well afford to pay charges more in lin
with the costs of special service they re
ceive Judicious increases could yield much
needed additional revenue. 1t is pOssibilit
that Congress should study thoroughly.
