The Plight of Widows
Most of us have seen, in some
individual instance, the tragic
problem of men grown old with
out financial resources, and to
subsist on the bounty relatives or
public charity.
The plight of thousands of
widows is equally grave. Ac
cording to the U. S. Census Be
reau, 32 per cent, of all the wid
ows in this country must work
for a living.
Many of the women once had
fine homes. Their husbands
earned good salaries, or owne.l
prosperous businesses. But no
bulwark was established against
the future, and when death came
to the wage-earner, there was
little or nothing left for depend
ents.
It is an encouraging thing, go
ing by the records of life insur
ance sales, that more and more
men are making sure their wid
owss may never be in that unhap
py position.
A serious shortage of burley
tobacco plants has been reported
in Mitchell county, some of tha
larger growers having enough
plants to set only 20 per cent, of
their novmal crop.
The Youth in Business
By C. E. Johnston
Dean, Schools of Business
International Correspondence
Schools
KNS of thousands of young men
id women graduate from educa
tional institutions every year. The
majority of these persons seek em
ployment in business. Unemploy
ment among those who have been
workers in the past is great It be
hooves the youth who expect* to
find a position to plan well ahead.
He should start thinking of his
future work long before he leaves
school. He should get some idea not
only of one Held but of several fields
of endeavor. The best assurance of
being able to obtain a Job in the fu
ture is to be able to fill a number
Of positions acceptably.
• • •
Personality is a great asset in
business, but too much has been
spoken and written about person
ality. The youth who gets the im
pression that there is some special
quality, termed personality, that
will take the place of hard work,
sincerity of purpose and determina
tion, will likely come a cropper in
the business race. Personal magnet
ism is a valuable quality, but few
men possess this quality naturally.
Alertness, patience, and eagerness tt>
learn and to serve are qualities re
quired of beginners in business. Do
your immediate job well and forget
about your personality is good ad
vice. The super-Ealesman does not
have a super-personality. He is usu
ally merely a hard worker.
The Youth in Business
By C. E. Johnston
Dean, Schools of Business
International Correspondence
Schooh
MANY young persons enter the
business world each year poorly
equipped to face the keen competi
tion which they find on every side.
It Is easy to give these youngsters
general advice. In fact moat of
those seeking positions in the busi
ness world for the first time get too
much advice but not enough real aid
in overcoming particular difficulties.
Any Intelligent youth knows that he
must have some specific training be
fore he can expect to obtain a Job
In an office. Few executives today
have the time or inclination to teach
beginners the elementary facta of
business. Any concern rightly an
ticipates that applicants for em
ployment will come to It at least
partially trained.
• • •
We will take It for granted that
the applicant for a Job has some
knowledge of business principles be
fore he seeks a position. What else
must he possess to obtain success In
the business world? Perhaps the
moat important thing Is the right
mental attitude. Many young men
are ambitious and full of enthusi
asm. They want to go places In a
harry. But their ambition Is purely
selfish and personal, and takes the
form of desiring a wage Increase
every few months and frequent ad
vances In rank. They are working
for themselves, not for the company.
Such men must real lie tbat they
cannot go far until thdlr viewpoint
Is changed. They must Item that
the good of the company must be
their first consideration and most
come to find satisfaction in contrib
uting to its progress rather than In
i their own private advascsmmt
Protect Summer Homes
and Camps From Fire
The pleasure and profit to be
gained from summer homes and 1
camps can be transformed easily
into tragedy and loss by fire.
These temporary homes, by their
very nature, call for greater
. vigilance during week-end and
vacation occupancy.
The use of kersosene for lamps
and stoves is a common source
of fire. But if a few simple rules
( are observed, the danger can be
greatly reduced. Fill lamps and
i
( stoves in the daylight so you can
see what you are doing. Store
>
kerosene and all other flamable
liquids outside the house. Use a
tank or drum that has a drip
i
proof faucet and keep a drip pan
under the faucet. Never start or
hasten a fire with kerosene or any
i
• | other flamable liquid. If a port
■ | able kerosene heater is to -be used,
' make sure it is one listed by the
• Underwriters' Laboratories.
Don't make improper alterna
tions or extensions of electric
wiring. Guard against over
heating of stoves which are near
woodwork; the usual sheet of
metal attached to the woodwork
i s of little value in protecting
against ignition. Smokepipes
should not pass through walls or
partitions of wood or with wood
lath.
Burn accumulations of rubbish
and litter in a metal incincerator.
When fires are started outdoors
never leave them unattended.
Because summer homes and
camps usually are remote from
fire departments, and since water
Is not always readily available,
keep fire pails and pump tanks
or fire extinguishers on hand and
know how to use them. If there
i 8 an extinguisher in your car,
that too affords valuable fire pr.v
tion to the sumtr>i r h>v.e as well
as one the road or in the garage.
And speaking of automobiles, if
you value your life, don't bum
up the road g and don't burn up
the countryside. Throwing light
ed cigarettes and cigars out of
the windows of your car as you
pas s along the road, may cause
great loss of life and property.
Use the ashtrays provided by the
car manufacturer for disposing s
of stubs and ashes. And be sure
you have plenty of ashtrays
around that summer camp or
cottage.
Do your part to protect your
life, your property, and the great
outdoors against fire.
Hints for Homemakers
By Jane Rogers
HERB'S a toothsome Idea for
those persons who have given
up candy for the Lenten season.
When your swe«t tooth demands a
piece of candy satisfy it instead
with one or two delicious canned
Hawaiian pineapple gems. These
spoon-size pieces o( luscious fruit
are also ideal in-between meal bites
for school children because they
will satisfy hunger but will not ruin
tbe appetite for the next meal.
' If you have given up desserts as
well as candy during Lent try drink
ing a glass of canned unsweetened
Hawaiian pineapple 'juice at the end
1 of your meal and you'll find that
' you woh't miss dessert Its deli
cious gun-ripened flavor will ap
pease the appetite and bring the
meal to a happy end. ' ... ...
