First Responsibility Writing in Harper’s magazine, Peter F. Drucker makes this point; “I think that we can agree that the first responsibility of management is always to the business enter prise and that, since it is the pri mary job of any business enter prise to malce a profit, manage ment must see to it that it does . . .If an enterprise fails, it is not just the stockholders who take a loss; we all lose. Jobs are gone and wealth is wasted. It is the com munity that bears the brunt, and we are all part of the community.” Everyone’s livelihood depends upon profit. It makes the wheels go round. Carolyn Ann Sharpe, only a year old, is the granddaughter of Walter and Mary Wells of the Caromount Weaveshed. IIT’S STOP RUMORS BEFORE THEY START... In connection with the current poster program on RUMORS at Caromount and Wilson, President M. G. Jones furnishes the fol lowing message: DANGER—DYNAMITE When we look at a stick of dynamite, it doesn’t look danger ous—but we know it can explode in our faces. So we label it, DANGER—DYNAMITE. Rumors don’t appear danger ous, either. But we all know they ean be dynamite. A rumor can have a slow fuse or a fast one. We never know— until it explodes — and that’s when somebody always gets hurt .... maybe your team-mate, maybe you, maybe all of us. You may have seen it happen . . . one false rumor can ruin a good name. One vicious rumor can hurt a whole family. One senseless rumor can “kill” a com pany and destroy jobs for every one. Nobody wants that to hap pen. For our own peace of mind— for our own progress—for our own security—let’s stop rumors before they start . . . “CHANGES” (Continued from Page One) 9.
