average rate and the lowest average rate for the
entire country were being charged in cities only
about so miles apart.
In shopping around check on whether there is
a Credit Union from which you are eligible to
borrow. This dOit-yourself sort of lending estab-
lshment, financed by the employees where it
operates, makes loans at relatively low rates.
Also, don't be frightened away by an imposing
bank building facade. By daring to go inside these
marble monuments of high finance you stand to
borrow on much better terms than you do by going
into some cozy hole in the wall, exuding an atmos-
phere Of easy welcome. Recognizing this fact some
banks have created comfortable and inviting con-
sumner credit departments, but too many haven't.
If, like most of US, you'd be embarrassed to
shop around in person, I'm informed most lenders
will be glad to tell you their terms over the phone
4. Find out the full cost Of the loan.
First, establish the true rate of interest -
which may work out quite differently from the
quoted rate. For example, if you borrow $500 for
a year at quoted rate of per cent and agree to
pay it back in IL monthly instaIlments, the true
rate of interest comes out at 1873 per cent because
you have the full $500 for only fraction of the
year, but pay interest as though you actually had
it all year.
Second, check whether the loan is loaded with
other costs for credit investigation, filing and
handling fees.
5. Read the contract carefully.
As literature it's fOrbidding document, but
knowing what is in it can save you a lot of woe.
For example, does the fine print reveal excessively
heavy penalties for tardy payments? Could you
save interest by paying off the loan earlier than
scheduled, if you we're lucky enough to come into
some cash?

went, had wonderful (and expensive) time, and
as paid off the loan never doubted that it was
well worthwhile.
This experience in formative period of my
life may explain why am unable to wiring my
hands in anguish over borrowing to finance joyful
trips and holidays, as opposed to borrowing to
acquire material possessions, or as opposed to no
borrowing at all.
All Ofus borrow money at one time or another,
and here are FIVE points to check to make sure you
are borrowing wisely and well:
1. Carefully calculate your capacity
to repay.
Akey element that made my Vassar party-loan
such an eminently satisfactory transaction was
that | had every reason to be confident that
would be able to pay it back when AOated it. Also,
correctly gauged how quickly could repay it,
thus keeping interest payments to a minimum.
This is, of course, one of the crucial elements of
borrowing money successfully.
2. Use your assets to lower the
cost Of the loan.
Your credit assets include:
Possessions such as real estate Paid+uP Ualue
ofEte-iHsw0noe policies, and securities.
The income from your job.
Your reputation for paying bills promptly.
WelheeIed friends and relatives.
Borrowing from friends and relatives is widely
regarded as q sure way to make enemies Of them.
But this need not be the case If the arrangements
are handled in businesslike way. am sure that
friends and relatives are, in fact, major source of
IOw-cost credit in many families.

loan secured by some of your negotiable
possessions to be forfeited if you fail to pay, will
cost less than an unsecured loan to any except the
most superlatively solvent and influential.
Even if you don't have security you can still
get loan at much lower cost if you establish the
fact that you have good capacity to meet the
repayment terms, and have good reputation for
meeting your financial obligations promptly.
If you can establish a credit rating which
makes you an acceptable risk to bank, you can
often borrow money at around half the cost you
must pay to borrow it from most small loan com.
Panies 1t is not because the small loan companies
are charging extOrtiOnate rates. It's because their
costs of making loans are higher because of heavy
expenses for making credit investigations and
taking on more relatively poor risks.

Graduate School Of Business of the University of

You will fare much better

$4,000 and $4,000 a year,
which is about average.
This is not generally known,
and one might judge from the
wailing often heard over the
matter that it is not true.
But there are some profit

APPLAUSE: When Frans
Lehar's operetta "Friederike"
was presented in Vienna, he
personally conducted the first
hundred performances. He did
this because he loved to take
curtain calls, relates Walter
Slezak in What Times the
Next Swamp.
AT the end of the show,
the moment the last chord
had faded, he dropped the
baton and ran through the
crowded orchestra pit. Up the
stairs he leaped, three steps
at a time, and landed breath
less in the wings.
He stretched out his hand
and whispered:
Pull me out!'
Resisting physically. he
allowed himself to be dragged
on stage. There he stood, in
helpless wonder, overawed
and moved by the slowly
growing realization that all
that applause was meant for
him.
"One night for fun, we
made him wait we ignored
his outstretched hand and
his whispers. But he didn't
wait long. UnassiSted he ca
tapulted on, pretending that
he had been showed and wav-
ing a naughty, naughty fin
ger at some imaginary per-
son in the wings"

DEAR ABBY: Our son has
been in the Army for a year.
At first he saved almost all
his pay. He'd bank 1t where
he was stationed and send
home his bank book to prove
it. Lately he hasn't been
sending home his bank book.
We are afraid he is spending
his money on his buddies to
become popular, and in no
time he will be bled dry. He
is very immature and has no
sense of responsibility. Can
we get the Government to
send us his pay so we can
save 1t for him? We will, in
turn, send him an allowance
to live on. He doesn't need
much as the Army is hous-

Chekhov has said, II am of
the opinion that inner happi-

it is with anxiety and stress
- he would underline that
statement and perhaps end
it with an exclamation point.
Stress is the common her.
itage of modern man who Is
in a constant struggle to sur
vive. But the trouble is that
if we are not careful we will
live our lives on a treadmill
of continuous exertions-un-
relieved by periods of relaxa-
ton and lessened strain.
Somehow we become con-
science-stricken when we are
caught relaxing. Come upon
a man lying in q hammock
or sitting in a rocking chair
and you are likely to hear
the unaSked-for excuse: I've
only been here a few minutes.
Just taking a rest because
I've been working pretty
hard"
Why the excuse? Why is it
necessary to give a reason for
idleness? AS Chekhov said,
you've got to take time off
to rest and contemplate be-
fore you can really be happy.
One of the reasons for so
much unnecessary stress in
jobs today is the belief that
to get ahead you must keep
at work incessantly.
The owners and bosses and
Job managers I have talked
to tell me that the best work
is done by those who know
how to take short intervals
of time out for relaxation.
(I'm sure that employers
would long ago have elm
mated the coffee break If
they did not realize that 1t
increased work efficiency
Even machines have pc
RODS Of overhaul and rest
from constant work. Make 1t
a habit to take time off oc-
casionally; to take idlepeSs in
stride without feeling con-
science-stricken. There is an
art in relaxation. The basis
of 1t is to realize that just
as the heart muscle rests be-
tween beats, the mind of man
must idle along between pc
riods of stress.
Chekhov makes good sense
in saying that inner happi-
ness is impossible without
idleness. He must have made
that observation in the front
lines Of medical practice.
where he not only learned
about human nature "a basic
necessity for his writing) but
about the needs of the physi-
cal and emotional machine Of
the human being.
