The center Of good agricultural
or mineral land always offers
opportunities for young people.
Big discount houses, shopping
certers, and even chain super
markets may be temporary
"fads".
There will always be OPP
portunities for young people Of
good character who are anxious
to work. My experience teaches
that poor young people often
rise to the top while the well
TODD" boys often sink to the
bottom. Another favorite saying
Of my fathers is: "Only three
generations from shirt sleeves
back to shirt sleeves. The wheel
Of opportunity keeps slowly re-
volving. The great national fl
nance corporations tell me that
the so-called "poor boys" are
the best financial risks, if they
have good wives. "A woman US
ually makes a man or breaks
man."
About Boys
If your boy intelligently decid-
es that he should move to some
other state, do not hold him
back after you have visited the
territory. But if he decides to
move, be sure he takes a good
character reference from a To-
cal banker, teacher, librarian,
minister, priest, or rabbi. Have
him start right with the right
people.
A big business employer once
said to me: when l want a
young man to enter nv bust
ness. l visit a public library
and get acquainted with the girls
at the desk. They know who the
most promising young men are.
These librarians have found the
young men who have become my
junior partners.

The Business Cycle OF Your City

BABSON PARK, MASS. Aug.
23-Every community has its
own cycle of business activities.
These usually include:
ID Some basic industry of
the city, such as the manufact-
ure of textiles, steel, or shoes.
(2) The building industry
which depends largely on popu-
lation growth.
80 The money distributed
by the State to the unemployed,
which is constantly increasing.
"a The automobile and gaso-
line businesses, which are con
stantly draining money out of
the city to support Detroit or
Texas.
90 The liquor business.
which does the city no good and
perhaps much harm.
Take a moment to apalyze
your community and decide how
your city or town stacks up with
neighboring communities.
Ahead Or Behind?
The answer to this question de-
Ponds largely upon the percent
age of unemployment over the
entire year. If your town needs
little unemployment insurance
money to depend upon, and if
most everyone works, your city
is a good one to live in. If, on
the other hand, the reverse is
true, then you should think of
moving elsewhere with your chill
dren. Hence the question arises,
Are you living in the best
state?"
The state which has probably
the best record is Utah. The
Mormon religion teaches every
one to work. During the last
World War Utah was the only
state which asked no Federal
Aid. The Mormons believe that
if a person cannot get regular
employment at some given town,
The Farmville herald. (Farmville, Va.) 1957-current, 1962-08-31

he should go out and work with
out pay to make a better Utah.
I have written many books. but
the one which had the largest
circulation is Fundamentals Of
Prosperity. Actually, 80 per-
cent of these books were pur-
chased by Mormons.
Mutual Funds
Just now many families are
moving to California, which is
greatly profiting from the de-
Tense industry, including the
manufacture of missiles, air.
planes, submarines, and cleo
tronics. Of course, we will never
see full disarmament. AS a last
resort, people would fight with
spears and rocks. Yet do ex-
pect that nuclear warfare will
be strictly limited.
California could temporarily
suffer from such a movement,
Notwithstanding the fact that it
would be good for the nation
as a whole.
Fortunate are you readers who
live in a city with activities
which are fully diversified
That is not dependent too much
on any one industry. The safety
of your employment depends
largely upon diversification, as
does the safety of your invest
ments. One should not put too
much money in Mutual Funds.
though they surely provide pro-
lection through sound diversi-
fication. No one ever got rich
buying Mutual Funds. There is
an old saying: eve cannot eat
cake and have it too"
NATURAL Resources
After graduating from high
school or college, settle in a
section which has great natural
resources. This may be a fine
harbor, either on the seacoast or
on some large river or lake.

LIES STRUGGLE

LIES STRUGGLE
Life is constant turmoil
A fight between good and bad;
Learn to distinguish between the two
Or your outcome will be so sad!
Right is right-wrong is wrong
How often I've heard it said
do to others as you'd have them do to you"
Has been pounded into my hard little head
Yet, we keep going our merry old way
We all do just as we please;
Live for today-have lots of fun
For tomorrow-we don't give sneeze;
But, listen moment. my dear friend,
Have ears for what say;
Where would you be tomorrow,
If your life should end today?
Would your soul be safe in heaven?
Would you wear a Star-filled crown?
Or would you in payment for all you We done
Go straight on down and down?
So that is why say to you
Be kind, be quiet be true;
Then you shouldn't have single fear
OF what will become of YOU

gubernatorial opponent, Frank

fatty he will not appear on the

fore the Nov. 6 election.

debate between the two candi-

many days as news reporters

make a commitment.
Tawes was scheduled to APP

in Bethesda before a meeting
of the Bethesda Chevy Chase

minutes before the scheduled
engagement, the governor
suddenly flew back to Anna
polls. He said pressing state

The nature of the pressing

little more than a flat refusal
to debate with Small. Tawes
said he had been misinformed
about the formal of the cham
ber's gathering and that he was
not told it was to be debate.
This provided some political
hay for SmallS baler and ap-
parently brought the wrath of
