prove permanently profitable
Those roads which stick to doing
what they can do best, and with
the greatest profit, will win out
IN the long run. Management
success will best be demonstrated
by how well it controls total labor
and material costs.
The faster growth of the South
ern area of the United States has
been the principal factor in the
impressive gain shown by the
roads operating in that region.
There is nothing in sight to in
dicate an end to this superior
growth factor. The Eastern
gravity" coal roads also have
had an impressive year.
I forecast that in the light of
world conditions. the outstand-
ing rail group will be the trans
continental roads, especially those
with major operations in the
South, Southwest. West, and
Northwest. Their freight traffic
is heavy and well diversified. Their
finances are strong, their prior
liens well protected. Manage
ment. in most cases, is improving.
I forecast that some transcon-
tinental rails. especially those with
substantial holdings OF land,
mineral rights. and securities.
Will prove to be sound invest
ments. They are in position to
benefit from any sharp expan-
sion in business activity. At the
same time. good management
should enable them to ride out
any temporary interruption in
the longer-term growth trends.

the fish are, and waste time on
long retrieves.
AS for spinning rods, a good
majority of anglers seem to pre-
fer them of seven feet, or at least
y feet. 1t isn't just a matter OF
notion, for the same rule applies
here as for casting rods: the
lighter the lure to be cast, the
longer and more flexible the rod
should be. Therefore, since nearly
all spinning lures are very light,
most users will find that long
rods suit them best
Glass or bamboo? In cheaper
rods, glass by far is the best, since
good bamboo rods simply cannot
be made by quantity production
methods. In medium priced
grades, glass is the better bet
All this applies to hollow glass
or the type with a wood core
Solid glass makes a very good
casting rod up to six feet, but
longer rods Of any type made
from it are SO logy in action, and
top heavy that few Will find them
satisfactory

1856 Graduates

ITO ALL those students graduating from
either high school or college. The Her
aid extends its congratulation and best
wishes for successful future life
To these young people, we say, without
qualification, that the United States is
still the land of opportunity 1t is true that
taxes are higher than they were a few de-
cades ago, but it is also true that jobs are
more plentiful, and earning power much
greater.
Those leaving high school and college and
entering the business world and therefore
completing their educations are reminded
that the United States today is the worlds
greatest power. Their fathers and mothers
entered upon their business experiences
under different circumstances, for the
United States has only become the greatest
power of the world since the end of World
War H.
This means that opportunities are I'M
limited for the American with will to
succeed, and with willingness to work
hard His quest may take him to foreign
countries, and to remote areas of the world,
but the United States, what it stands for,
and its monetary unit, are known all over
the world.
We hopefully feel that the student who
leaves his studies behind in 1856 is enter
ing world which will enjoy peace for
some years to come. We realize that the
Communist menace is perhaps the great
est we have ever faced but there is also
reason to Justify the hope that perhaps
the struggle in the foreseeable future will
be an economic one. and that those enter
ing the world Of business today will be al
lowed to make their start marry and raise

Vacation Coming

WITH 1866 VACATION TIME rapidly
approaching, we have a few points for
you to consider before making final plans
for it.
First, the psychologists say that workers
do better job when they are given
several vacations year. eve can not help
but recall the grade school youngster who
wants two six-month vacations per year,
However, it seems that the government is
the only organization that can afford to
give its employees plenty of vacation. For
instance those in the military service are
given thirty days "leave" or vacation each
year, with pay too. Of course that is i'm
possible in smaller business.
Second your vacation should be taken
in a spot where you can enjoy both. peace
of mind and physical relaxation. The
psychologists say that some people choose
such gay spots for their vacations that
they actually are in need of rest when
they return home. In addition, if they at
tempt to go too far with the time they
The Farmville herald and farmer-leader. (Farmville, Va.) 1934-1957, 1956-05-29

families, in a world which IS at least not
in total war.
This, then, is time of opportunity in
an atomic age, and the world still has
many unexplored possibilities, and nature
many undiscovered secrets, for the younger
generation to look into. With business
generally good, and jobs available for those
who want to work, the 1856 graduating
class has much to be thankful for
The Farmville herald and farmer-leader. (Farmville, Va.) 1934-1957, 1956-05-29

have or attempt to go there and back too
fast they are likely to wear themselves
out, or suffer a serious accident.
The experts warn against attempting
vacations which actually consume more
money than the vacationer can afford to
spend on his annual, or semiannual, outing.
If this is done, worry over the excessive
money spent and the task of having to earn
the money spent on a vacation after one
returns to his job, makes for a cumulative
unpleasantness that nullifies the JOY of
a vacation.
Lastly, remember that your vacation
need not be taken in some far-away spot
Often, even if one has to disconnect his
telephone, he can enjoy more comfort and
get better rest, staying close to home
than in getting in his automobile and tear
ing out over the countryside, to some
crowded resort, over packed highways.
And, preferably, take it early, if con-
ditions will allow it., since things may
change in the next few weeks or months
in ways you cannot fOretell at the moment

Vocotioners to Overflow
State Park Facilities

This summer, even more than
last. Americas state park Sys-
TENS will be bursting at their
seams. Reports from all States
to the National Association of
Travel Organizations indicate
that camping sites especially are
going to be scarce. In some East
ern States. you already would be
too late to reserve a spot on
which to pitch a tent.
The increased popularity of
camping is one of the vacation
phenomena of the mid-20th
Century, says the association.
Tent and trailer camping in
State parks grew go per cent in
popularity from 1852 to 1854.
Preliminary reports to the Ma
t!Onal Park Service indicate
there were an additional Is per
cent camping in the State parks
during 1855.
1000 State Parks
The United States has more
than 1000 State parks. ranging
from small picnic areas to ire
mendous acreages with million
dollar lodges and complete res
ort facilities.

orderly expansion at least equal

cording to the National Confer
ence on State Parks.
