Traditional Spirit 01 Enterprise Is Widespread And Flourishing The spirit of individual enter prise and will ngness to venture, distinctive American characteris tics since the nation’s earliest days, are still widespread and flourishing. A leading indicator of the strength and persistence of these traditional traits, and the oppor tuhities available to them, is pro vided by the vital statistics of the business population as compiled by the U. S. Department of Com merce. These fgures show*that the number at nonfarm business firms in operation reached a rec ord high of more than 4.3 million at ;the middle of 1957, up about 28,000 above the previous peak set/ the year before. The gains were primarily in areas like re tail trade and service industries frhfiTe the averaee business is small and where individual pro prietorship predominates. *•' * Data are not yet available to indicate whether the uptrend ir the business population in recent years has been affected by the current economic adjustment. TV record shows that the business population continued to grow ir the 1949 recess'on. There was ' minor setback in the 1953-54 eco nomic downturn, after which thf growth in the number of firms ir operation was resumed. Tops Grdwth of Population Looking back over the years the Commerce Department re ports that the business popula tion has shown a substantially greater growth than has Hie hu man population over the long term.- At the turn of the cen tury, the number of nonfarm bus iness firms in operation was esti mated at 1% million, or about 21 firms for each 1,000 persons. The 1957 total figures out to 25 non farm business firms in operation for every 1,000 persons in the population. Th : s rat ; o has shown no significant change over the last decade. Stimulus to the growth of the business population has come from a combination of factors, re volving largely around the un derlying expansion of real de mand and output, along with ris ing population and the big gains in the level of personal income.

'••‘HI . n**«KfO(rT.IC£HTUC*Y 4^ Mftp .An outstanding beneficiary ha i been the construction industry where the rise in the number o firms in operat : on has outdis tanced other major classifications in rate of growth both in the pe riod since World War II and ove the longer term. The. boom ii home ownership over the last decade has been a contributing factor in this respect. The Commerce Department’s business population figures do not include agriculture and the professional services, two strong holds of individual ownership and operation. Nor do they include other fields of activity, involving millions of persons where the in itvidual is essentially on his own; and where the rewards and ac complishments are primarily de oendent on a person’s efforts and 'apacity. The 200,000 life- insur ance- agents are an example of ‘his group. Thus the American economy still remains its strongly individu alists characteristics in many lines of endeavor. While there has been a growth in large firms, mch as in areas where tremen dous capital investments are in lispensable for successful opera ion, the Department of Gom nerce figures show that three out f every four nonfarm business "iritis have fewer than four em iloyees and that only around 2 ter cent of all firms employ 50 or more. The Factor of Savings A number of factors outside of an individual’s own personal characteristics and qualifications are involved in establishing a bus iness of one’s own. A basic one, of course, is the need of capital. Here personal savings are essen tial. Studies made by the Com merce Department in the past show that two out of every three dollars of capital required to launch new business ventures came directly from the personal savings of the entrepeneurs them selves. The days when an enter orise could ba' launched on a shoestring are gone. Another fundamental require ment is the willingness to take risks, an inherent part of a com petitive society like ours.

British authorities say that the plane, capable of delivering nuclear weapons, represents a three-year lead “over every other country.” Its makers say the twin-jet craft is suitable for land or ship-based operations. As part of the Mutual Weapons Development Program, the plane had substantial financial and technical backing from the United States. mortality and turnover rates in the business population are large and affect the older f.rms as well as the newer ones. The figures show that a total of 3.9 million j new firms were organized in the I period from 1947 through the! •h ddle of 1957. However, 3.2 million firms discontinued opera- 1 tions in this period, while an ditional 4.2 million changed hands. As a result, the net increase in the number of nonfarm business firms in operation in the period from 1947 through the middle of last year came to 700,000, or less than 20 per cent of all new enter- I prises formed in those years.

FRE PARK3NG By Ted Kett/i/g j Catfish, with the exception of channel cats are not usually call ed game fish, but there are great : numbers who thoroughly enjoy fishing for them, states Jason Lu cas, Angling Editor of Sports Afield Magazine. Indeed, some men who are experts at catching I bass prefer to spend most of their ! fishing time seeking cats. Should these anglers be con- I demned as having poor sporting tastes? Are you wrong if you feel; 1 that way about it? No! After a'l, you fish purely! j for pleasure, and if you get more j fun from catching cats than from j catching bass, why, catfish are certainly the better game fish for you. You’re as entitled to your | opinions on fishing as he is to his. Catfish are quite widely distri , buted throughout the world and , vary greatly in size. There’s a : European species, found in the Danube, that sometimes exceeds |l3 feet in length. Then, there’s | a little brindled madtom of this | country which doesn’t grow long i er than three inches or so. In North America, there are said to be about 35 species. Odd- I ly. none are native to the Pacific | slope, though some have been in . trqfluced there, thrived mightily, I and now afford excellent fishing. However, there are only five spe cies of general interest to fisher men in this country. These are | blue catfish, yellow catfish, white | catfish, channel cat and brown bullhead. All types of tackle are used for the cats. A hand line wil] get as many as anything else—unless you’re where you may hook a big , one. There you will need a reel and plenty of line.

CALE BROTHERS ENJOYING REUNION AT WINGFIELD Five Cale brothers are enjoy ing this week at the Cale cottage along the Chowan River at Wing field. In the group are Dr. Ed ward G. Cale, American Embassy in Buenos Aires, Argentina; Paul H. Cale of Crozet, Va.; the Rev. Franklin Cale of South Boston. Va.; Janies H. Cale of Warwick. Va., and Montgomery G. Cale. also of Warwick. Here’s a short list of catfish baits to get you started: frozert shrimp, chicken entrails, worms, liver, beef, doughballs and, of all things, soap. If you catch one on the last, be sure to clean him right away or the soap will spoil his taste.
