BABSON DISCUSSES SELLING

BABSON PARK, Mass, July g.
Now that graduates from high
schools and colleges are looking for
jobs, may | devote this weeks col
umn to a discussion thereof? Let
me start by saying that the first
step is to analyze oneself and as
certain the line of work for which
one is best fitted.
FIVE DIFFERENT PATHWAYS
Most of today's graduates have
come to parting of the roads
and are faced with five different
paths which they may follow. IL
The professions. If you feel you
are best suited to be doctor. dem
tist, lawyer, teacher, or minister,
You must go back to a college
which specializes in one of these
professions. Il sometimes think
there are enough lawyers in the
country, but certainly the other
groups are rendering a needed
service and are being amply re-
warded.
(2) Engineering and Building.
There are many opportunities in
this line provided you work in a
progressive and growing commun-
ity. CD Manufacturing. This is the
line of work which will probably
confine you to spending your life
with one or more large companies.
If you like people and are not am
bilious to be your own boss, 1t is
well to get connected with large
manufacturing company. You, how
ever, must be willing to go where
you are sent and to obey orders.
(4) Agriculture. AT one time this

Safety Council News

Safe boating is common sense
plus knowledge of the sport, an of
fetal of the Delaware Safety Coun-
Gil declared yesterday.
This week is National Safe Boat
ing Week, proclaimed by the Pres
ident.
Boating has vastly increased in
popularity as a sport in recent
years, and the rate of boating ac-
cidents has declined, it was report
ed by ]. H. Tyler Mcconnell, Pres
ident of the Council. "This is an
excellent record. but to hold the
accidents down in the future will
require full cooperation of boat
owners and operators in promoting
water safety" he said.
He suggested these points to re-
member for safe boating:
l. Check the condition of your
boat before leaving shore, and
make sure the standard safety
equipment is aboard, including a
life preserver for every person
aboard.
2. Make sure the boat is not
overloaded, considering the amount
of freeboard left when the people
and equipment are aboard, and the
conditions on the body of water you
are using. Ask yourself, "If it
gets, rough, can we take it?"
8. Outlaw standing up or horse
play in small boats.
4. If there are any non-swimmers
aboard, make them wear life jack
cts.
S. Does everyone have emergency
instructions to stay with the boat
if it capsizes?
6. Observe the rules of the wa
ter in operating your boat, with
the same courtesy to other boat
men you would like to have them
show you.
Z. If your boat is used for water
skiing, carry on that activity safe
ly away from swimmers.
Mr.. Mcconnell pointed out that
the Safety Council has a good
water safety film available free for
showing to clubs and other groups.
The film, part of the Councils film
library, is called Safety Every
where All The Time" 1t is a sound
movie in color, running % min
utes. 1t does not preach or lecture,
he said. It tells the story of an
industrial worker. his wife and
their teen-age son and daughter
who have a near-tragic accident in
volving the boy, motor boat, and
a pretty girl on water skis. The
film shows that safety is a family
affair to be practiced everywhere
all the time.

we were in communication he in
turn told me. He is well, but miss
ing his family. He was especially
glad to have good connection
last night since the Fourth Of July
is our middle daughters birthday.
There was a neighborhood old
fashion picnic yesterday and 1t was
about four miles out in the country
in lovely meadow. Lots of open
space for sack races, baseball
games and other like games. Rib
hons were awarded for the best In
the various fetes and many young,
young athletes sported a chest fun
of satin streamers. Chicken and
covered dish brought by all those
attending made a sumptuous ban
quet table and the platters seemed
to be all licked" clean! I secured
the city over for sitter for Les
lie, to no avail and she had more
fun at the affair than anyone, and
was no trouble. This shocked our
daddy beyond words. There was
so much activity, so many children
and since this was a children's af-
fair she received her share OF the
attention.
'Tis time now for swimming les
sons for Dawn. I'm meeting my
house guest at the pool Wilma and
Ed L0ngman are doing errands
downtown right now. They have
been with me the past five days
and will leave in the morning for
their assignment in Puerto Rica.
It's been lovely having them here
to keep me company. They have
been our closest friends here In
Topeka for their tenure at Forbes.

Until next week.

meant working on farm, but it is
not so any longer. The reason is
that raising both crops and live
stock has become an intricate bus
mess. Those loving such work
could take an additional course at
an agricultural college. Every state
has such a college with low tut
ton.
(5) Selling and Advertising. If
you want to sit in an Office and die
tate to a blonde, you should not
take up seIling-not even selling
advertising. If. however. you are
willing to wear out shoe leather,
ring door bells, and fight for busi-
ness, selling offers you a great
opportunity.

Dear Friends:
You can't say we received the
news with apathy. and yet perhaps
we did too, because there is GER
tain feeling of numbness when an
Air Force wife is told there's a
plane missing" Air Force wives
whose husbands fly have a very
definite bond between them during
such an emotional time and the
husbands are equally sensitive to
the news. There is a feeling of
complete helplessness, one is
abounding in sympathy and yet
we're human enough to say a silent
prayer of gratitude for the we'll
being of our own.
The loss of Forbes plane last
Friday brought cruel news to six
Air Force wives and their young
children. Chaplains, doctors,
friends, neighbors and even strang-
ers quickly offered their help to
the unbelieving wives. The hardest
part of all for those six girls is
really the unknown. They, at this
minute, have not heard definite
word about their husbands and
their plane. It's an endless time
until news arrive. And we silently
wait with them.
Other lives continue to revolve
around those whose living must
seem to be in suspension. It's Won
derful to have instant word from
Hayes every evening through his
amateur radio station, especially at
times like these. In fact it was
through Hayes that learned about
the missing plane from Forbes. The
radio operator here had given him
the news before / was called to

WHICH WAY Isl uP2

Politicians hopeful of obtaining public
money for their pet projects now are unani-
mously claiming that more government
spending means more economic growth.
Economic growth is something we all
want and need. But government projects
are dependents of the economy, and do moth
ing to spur growth. When they become too
expensive they actually stunt it.
Americans never had to worry about
long-term growth until recent years 1t is
no coincidence that those are the very years
in which government was increasing its tax
receipts eight times as fast as Americans
were increasing their national income
This tax load has made it harder for in
dividuals and businesses to save money. Eco
nomic growth always has come from the
savings that people invest in new and ex-
panded business And that is the only way
that economic growth can occur.
Many of the things that government
spends money for are desirable and neces-
sary. All Of them are at the expense of eco
nonic growth or at the expense of private
consumption by American families.
The American people are willing to make
these sacrifices for worthwhile and neces-
sary governmental services. But they will
not long be fooled into confusing government
spending with economic growth.
And they will do well to suspect the hon.
esty or the sanity of any politician who tries
to fool them in this way.
Milford chronicle., 1960-07-08
VACATION TIME

In the United States just about every
worker gets vacation. That is not true in
some countries of the world, and it was not
always true in the United States.
This year Americans will spend some
$4,000 100000 on vacations. Tens of mil
lions will head for the oceans, the mountains
or lakes and other vacation areas. Most of
them will have a week or two weeks off, but
many will have longer.
And while many will travel by air or
train or bus, most of these millions will trav-
ell by car. And every day during the sum-
mer a hundred Americans will die on the
highways. Several hundred will be injured,
lose legs or arms or eyes and be SCARED for
life, etc.
Vacations are of great Importance. Psy-
biologists agree they are necessary-in most
cases-for proper mental and physical
health, and variety in living. Studies have
proven that workers perform more efficient
ly throughout the year if they get away on
good vacations.
This is the time to plan your 1860 vaca-
tion, if you haven't already done so. The
experts suggest you take your time, in COM
ing and going and relax and go STOW and
easy while vacationing The way some peo-
pie "take" vacation they are worn out at
the finish line.
Avoid this. But plan wonderful vaca-
ton for 1860.

THE TREND is UP

The Consumer Price index, winch mas
been on a relatively even keel for some
months, showed surprising upsurge during
April, the most recent month reported. The
economy as whole was not functioning at a
particularly brisk clip; the steel industry
was operating considerably below capacity.
Yet the price index nonetheless seemed to
swim upstream against the tide.
The recent increase could be laid pri-
marily to rising food costs. This represents
a modification of the pattern prevailing for
year or more. Heretofore decline in food
prices has been acting as a compensation to
keep the price index unchanged while other
factors would have forced it upward.
The factor which has played the chief
role of "the heavy" in pushing prices up
turns out to be the cost of services. These
costs keep on rising at an astounding rate.
The cost of medical care, for example, has
jumped 3.9 per cent in one year. In passing
it is worth noting that were the cost of medi-
cal care to continue upward at this rapid
rate, the middle income group now compris-
ing the largest per cent of population would
be hit hardest.
Were both these two components flood
and services) to continue the upward trend,
the consumer could look forward to a rough
time. That may not happen, but there is no
guarantee against continuance of this trend.
Only confirmed optimist would be willing
to predict that the cost of living is going to
decline in the foreseeable future.

ROCKEFELLER'S MOVE

Governor Rockefeller has finally taken
the bit between his teeth. To the dismay of
many. fellow Republicans, he has sounded
off almost like an opposition candidate. For
mer President Harry Truman has suggested
that this approach violates cardinal prin-
ciple in politics: never criticize the admin
istration in power if you are of the same
party and hope to succeed it.
But for Rockefeller it is, certainly so far
as his immediate prospects are concerned,
do or die. He is under heavy pressure to ac-
cept the second place on COP ticket headed
by Vice President Nixon, an obligation he
would find difficult to refuse unless he had
made is known publicly that he and Nixon
were politically incompatible. This he has
now done, and the Nixon-RockefelIer dream
ticket" seems to have evaporated into thin
air.
But this is not the most important aspect
of the New York governors action. In effect
he has now offered himself to the convention
as an alternative to man who in Rookie
feller's opinion, cannot win the presidency
This is theme which, though played before,
may have considerable appeal to some ele-
ments in the party.
Certainly the stakes are high Were
Nixon to gain nomination and election, he
would have a good chance of continuing in
Office for eight years. BY that time, oppor-
tunity might have passed Rockefeller by. His
chances of wrestling the nomination from
Nixon do not seem very strong at this writ
ing. The Willkie surge in 1910 is a reminder
that things could change. At any rate, it
now appears that in the brief time remain
ing before the convention there will be lively
doings in the COP camp.

Dear Friends:
Well. tomorrow is the day, and
I'm trying not to think about it on
our last full day home. Surely you
all know how / dearly love my
home state and home town and it
is always hard for me to leave it.
There is a prospect that we will
be back this summer and / am
keeping this in mind so our good
byes will be softened somewhat
tomorrow when we leave at noon.
Thanksgiving Eve we were in
vited to Lucy and Jimmy Ham
monds for the evening. Lucy had
said she'd invite few of our
friends.
1t is so hard to see every one
when we only have just a very
few days home. But Tuesday even
ing we caught up on lots of our
friends and what they've been do
ing in the past fifteen months
while we've been in Topeka. We
visited with the William Wells,
the William Adkins, the Joe Nc
Faults, Sam Marshalls, Mack War
rens, Bob Fishers, the Craig Ro-
bertsons and their guests from
Michigan, Ann (Craig's sister, and
Hutch Miller. The Joe Calls were
there, so were the Dolphus Wiki
ins, the Penn Isaacs, and down
from Wilmington for the weekend
were the Bob Baechlers. 1t was
just the incest evening spent with
good friends, in Lucy and Jimmy's
lovely home. Other than children /
think politics dominated the
evenings conversations.
Thursday morning we went to our
third football game this year and
all of these games we've attended
since we've been in Delaware. The
annual Milford High game happen
ed to take place at home this year
and 1t was fun to see many former
class mates. Two that / hadn't
seen in some time were Claud Tease
and Bruce Alden. Hayes and spent
most of the game yelling at Peggy
and Palmer Anstine, Horace Will
ley, Gene Murphy, the Frank
Griers, Pat and Bill and other good
friends.
At two that afternoon the clan
gathered here. We had nineteen
for dinner and ate buffet style
which enabled us to watch the
football games on television. You
know there are eight granddaugh-
ters on our side of the family and
lone, handsome grandson-seven
year old Jimmy Townsend.

SAINT half hour with a lovely Mil

will be ninety years old and a

you won't find. We laughed to
gether about the experiences Hay
es and | have had in our ten years
together in the Air Force. We were

her wasn't too long, but one shall
