way that will make the people
eager for more of them, like chill

New York's Gov. Averell Harri-

Pay More Money To Fewer
Employees
Mr. Manager you would do well
to screen employees thoroughly.
The question "Caa you use a cash
register?" should not be sufficient
Make sure at, the beginning, that
he or she will use it honestly, or
you may find a small percent of
your profit trickling out through
the register. IL you will observe
your new employees closely, you
will learn they are really interested
in the work or whether the job is
merely stop gap for them. Watch
if they use your storesto kill time
by reading or talking to friends
while waiting for pay day.
When you have thoroughly
screened the applicants and found
honest and efficient help. you will
be able to pay such employees more
money because you will need fewer
clerks. Your well-paid employee is
an asset to your business. From the
customers viewpoint, nothing is
more irritating than to be given a
discourteous or unintelligent an

Suez Quicksands
Acceptance by Israel of the de-
mands of the UN, the U. S. and the
Arab summit" conference at Cairo,
for immediate troop withdrawal
from Aqaba and the GAIA Strip
(as confidently predicted at this
writing) seems unlikely to pour the
anticipated oil on Suez waters.
Presumably the Israeli acquie-
scence was purchased by U. S.
promises to defend freedom of nav
igation in the Gulf of Aqaba and to
protect Israel against Egyptian
raids from the GAIA Strip. At the
same time, the four Arab leaders,
King Saud Of Saudi, Arabia, King
Hussein of Jordan, President Ku-
Watly of Syria and President Mas
ser of Egypt, concluded their con-
ference by signing a joint state
ment of neutrality which demanded
the immediate and unconditional
withdrawal of Israel from GAIA
and the Aqaba straits and pledged
mutual support of ''the sovereign
ty of Arabs over the lands and
territorial waters. The joint COM
munique emphasized the sovereign
ty of Egypt over the canal, while
Egypt maintains that the Gulf of
Aqaba, lying between Egypt and
Saudi Arabia, belongs to the two
Arab nations
These developments would ap-
pear to leave the Middle East just
as tense as it has been since the
Franco o-British-Israeli invasion -
and place the U. S. in a position OF
deeper involvement and greater
confusion, officially and unofficial
ly.

nies of self-denial (ani nickels and
dimes, too) that the four million
parochial school youn gsters of A
mercia would normally spend for
candy and cones and chewing gum
will flow in a steady million-dollar
stream into the Golfers of the 1857
Catholic Bishops Relief Fund APP
peal.
Together with their elders, they
will, by Laetare Sunday, March 81,
have contributed five million dol
lars to aid the needy, the hungry
and the homeless in forty free
countries, and to extend relief pro-
grams still farther into areas where
none exists.
This work of the Catholic Re
lief Services, National Catholic We'll
fare Conference, has been COM
pared by Francis Cardinal SPELL
man, Archbishop of New York and
Military Vicar for the Armed Forces
of the u. s., with the miracle of the
loaves and the fishes. In 1885,, for
instance, every dollar contributed
was translated into forty times its
value in relief goods and services.
Conducting the largest private pro-
gram of person-to-person overseas
relief aid in history, Catholic Relief
Services distributed 855,000, 138
pounds of food. clothing and medici-
nails valued at $128,254, ,921.87 a.
mong an estimated .43,600,00a des-
partely needy men, women and chill
dren.
In its eleventh year the Bishops
Fund must underwrite an increas-
ing refugee problem to care for
those whose emigration has been
stopped by expiration of the Refu-
gee Relief Act of 1858 as well as
meeting the problems of the Hun
garians given asylum here through
the Presidents Emergency Com
mittee. And as ever, "the lava-like
approach of this monster which
now Overshadows and oppresses
such a great portion of the world"
as Cardinal Spellman describes the
Communist menace, drives these
dedicated workers on to do more
and more in restoring tortured
minds and dying spirits as well as
emaciated bodies.
Archbishop Francis P. Keough
of Baltimore, chairman of the 1857
Appeal credits the amazing eff
ciencv of this worldwide relief
operation "to the priests, nuns, lay
and voluntary workers upon whose
shoulders this great undertaking

Retailers nowadays. seem to have
two questions-where and why? II
they would look at the stores where
customers are going in and out
all day, or follow the customers
down the highways and see them
going to other towns and cities,
they would know where" Then if
they would take a good look at their
own business establishment, they
would find the answer to why. In
these days of clever advertising
together with easy transportation,
a customer thinks nothing of trav-
cling miles for a good bargain.
Examine your store, your stock,
your employees, and your advertis-
ing. Is your store neat and at
tractive? Can your merchandise be
easily seen or is it so jumbled up
that even you 10 not know where
a specified item is? How we'll did
you screen your employees before
you hired them? Are you getting
the most out of your advertising?
Retailing today is very competitive;
it is destined to be more so. Most
retailers should wake up or go
to work for some other concern.
Condition OF Store
Walk into the store where the
manager is too busy to stand around
complaining about poor business.
Notice his neatly displayed mer-
chandise; he keeps his stock under
control bv periodic inventory. He
knows what is not selling and
therefore does not recorder blindly.
Slow-selling items are displayed so
as to attract attention.
This man uses his "know-how"
to make room for popular merchan-
disc. He or his well-tralEed help
Milford chronicle., 1957-03-08

Advertising is very important be-
cause it has so many facets. A clean,
well-arranged store with attractive
window displays is good advertis-
ing,-as is anything at all that
causes people to mention your place
favorably, such as friendly, cour-
teous, efficient help. Material is
frequently furnished with national
ly advertised merchandise. but is
too often ignored and put in a cor
ner. Actually, such signs, placed to
advantage, catch the eye and bring
customers inside.
Do not resent the man in your
line of business who is using every
means of advertising. He realizes
advertising is most important. Many
of the ads have clever and unique
ideas. You will find they have not
used trickery. nor is there any
''gimmick''. but honest, clever
''know-how." A new highway which
may bypass many cities need not
be a menace. 1t may be booster.
The retailer needs to WAKE UP.
Selecting A Location
Often the highest rent is the
cheapest rent. The brightest re-
tailers will get located as near as
possible to an off-street parking
lot. 1t also helps a small retailer
to be a big store with lot of GUS
toners. The best location for al
most any retailer is adjoining a
supermarket; the important thing
is to get traffic into your store. It
often pays to buy out some sleepy
retailer who has a good location.
If you have a good location. make
long lease; but if you have a
poor location, lease only by the

IF OUR MERCHANT MARINE HAD
BEEN SCUTTLED

The Suez Canal situation was the inspir-
alton for an interesting and important little
editorial in the Marine Engineering Log. 1t
points out that in the past, various members
of the State Department have been far from
friendly toward the American-hag merchant
marine. 1t then says: "We hope that some
of the powers that be in that department
realize the position the free world would
be in if our Merchant Marine had been scutt-
led.
Zone has to wonder how United States
without merchant marine would have far
ed when the Suez Canal closing accentuated
the shortage of ships. Would foreign-fag
vessels have been available to us-and if so,
at what rates? Can the growing military and
foreign-aid commitments of this country be
guaranteed without American ships?
"If the growing number of problems that
face our government are formidable, visual
ize United States without a means to carry
out its commitments and support military
bases overseas"
The Suez Canal matter, along with other
troubles in the Middle East, has served to
underline a big fact. We need U. S.-flag
merchant marine to handle our huge and ex-
panding volume of international trade. We
also need it to meet the demands imposed by
emergencies-in world which new emer-
gencies can be expected at any time.
