Thursday, April 10, 1947 Soles Institute Should Be Valuable The Sales Institute to be conducted here under auspices of the Wilkes Cham ber of Commerce should prove of value to the sales personnel who attend the ses sions, to their employers and to the gen eral public. The profit motive may be the basic rea son for a retail establishment, but if the motive for profit is the only reason for running the business, and if it serves no higher purpose than to make money, it is destined for dismal failure. With the return of a buyer's market, courtesy is expected to return in dealing with the public. From the layman's viewpoint, it ap pears that the person in a retail establish ment should have a sound and earnest de sire to serve customers, and to supply them with what they need and want. A shoe salesman who deliberately sells a customer a misfit, or a pair of shoes which will not give any reasonable a mount of service, can expect to lose that customer's future business. There have been numerous instances of making a sale under false pretenses and losing a cus tomer's business for many ye#rs in the future. The same will apply in any line of merchandise. * Often a customer will express his opin ion of a place of business. If it is favorable they usually mention that the people there make every reasonable effort to serve them with the kind of merchandise they need, and there are also comments as to the consistency of values received for jnuiiey paiu. ~ ; The Sales Institute is one of the major projects sponsored by the Trade Promo tion committee of the Wilkes Chamber of Commerce and should pay dividends in increased business for merchants of the community and a greater measure of cus tomer satisfaction throughout this trading area. Rural Library Stations Indication of Progress The Wilkes Public Library's program of expansion by establishing book stations in central rural communities is a move which should ultimately result in better condi tions throughout the county. Reading is not only a tonic for the mind, but reading serves to occupy minds which could get into wrong channels and ulti mately result in wrongdoing. Reading is educational? Books acquaint the reader with conditions, real or simu lated, throughout the world. Books open the reader's mind to broader Conceptions of living. Books inspire better living. Books cultivate tolerance and democracy. Books broaden minds. The program of the Wilkes Public Li brary, which has rendered excellent ser vice for the past few years with direly in adequate funds,.will place its facilities within reach of all the people in Wilkes county. The public is asked to cooperate with the books stations by taking care of the books, and by returning them prompt ly. If the people realize the true facts, they will find that money spent for books, for clean recreation, for education, for the better things of life will in the long run reduce expenditures for courts, jails, pris ons and the great public cost of every kind of crime an<\ wrongdoing. A manager of a large city government in North Carolina said here recently that . ______ i experience has shown that for eve T paid for directing recreation one police man could be dispensed with. Books have a recreational and educa tional value that had long been ignored until the public spirited people found that there are too many uneducated, criminal ly inclined people with inferiority com plex dangerous to society. When you raise the standard of living and the Ieyel of intelligence of a citizen ship, you destroy their inferiority com plex, which so often results in crime and all griefs affiliated with crime. THE CAT LET OUT (Charlotte Observer) If any doubt remained that Russia is behind all of the Yugoslav and Bulgarian machinations against the independence of Greece, it was removed when the Russian member of the United Nations Balkans commission became the official spokes man of Yugoslavia. Mark Ethridge had asked the Yugoslavs liaison officer if the Yugoslav govern ment approved the position of , certain newspapers in demanding the . detach ment of Greek Macedonia and incorporat ing it into the Yugoslav federation. At that moment the Russifcn member declared that Yugoslavia had no intention of answering that question. The commission is supposed to be an impartial investigating committee. The Russian member is supposed also to be as impartial as the commission as a whole. How, then, did he know what were the intentions of Yugoslavia about answering Mr. Ethridge's question? He knew it simply because the Yugo slav policy is the Russian policy. t Li r EVERYDAY COUNSELOR By Rev. Herbert Spaugh, D. D. Impulses can be highly dangerous. They should be carefully weighed, if possible before being acted upon. The nation wis recently shocked over "the impulse slay ing" in Albany, New York of eight-year old Robert Wahrman. He was murdered by fourteen-year-old Carl De Flumer, who confessed to District Attorney Julian B. Erway that he had strangled "Bobbie" with a clothesline by hanging. He said that he did it by reason of an "impulse." Much of our juvenile delinquency is done in obedience to a sudden impulse to do something exciting. A number of these young people with whose cases I have had connection, have admitted this to me. We adults, if we are honest, can recall having had these impulses in our youthful days, and have yielded to come of them much to our sorrow and regret. Unfor tunately, some of us have convenient memories, and fail to recall them. The modern diet of movie, radio and comic magazine thrillers has much to do with whipping up this desire for excite ment in our children. It challenges us to see that their time is occupied usefully and en joy ably, so that they do not fall victims to strange impulses. It also re minds us as parents to see that our homes are places to which our children like -to come with their friends, and that we are there to greet them. Many a boy or girl wanders about because the home is emp ty. Father and mother gone. Where? That's one for you to answer. Life is a struggle between good afnd evil. Impulses to do evil carry on over into maturity. We are all subject to them in every age. But every impulse should be examined in the light of reason and pos sible consequences. Usually we have /time to do this, if we take it. The ways of God are not usually hasty. God cannot be hurried in His plans. How we need to remember that in our impa tience. We v have all read the advertising slo gan, "Obey that impulse." Before we fol low it, we must be sure that the impulse is for good, will not violate the laws of God and man, will not injure ourselves nor others. From my own experience, I have made more errors in haste than from any other cause. Many of you have done like wise. Before we obey those impulses which so often come upon us with great sudden ness, it is the better part of wisdom to pause for thought and ask, what will be the consequences of this act? ABNORMAL 1 ABSURDITIES {/?*: By D WIGHT NICHOLS et al Y SPRING FEVER AGAIN? Young lady here went to the courthouse and asked for a licen se. She was in the wrong plate and the clerk said: "Hunting or fishing?". "Neither one," she laid, "I've been hunting long enough.
