COL. FRED A. OI.DS
ADDRESSES ROTARIANS
Col. Fred A. Olds, of the North
Carolina Historical Commission, Kal
cigh, speaking before tflic Rotary
Club of Sylva, at its weekly luncheon
meeting, at the Potluek Tea House,
Tuesday, called attention the fact
that all ree.mLs are being broken by
voung white men, under the age of
24 going to the i>enil|entiary and boys
and girls going to Samarkand and
Stonewall Jackson Training School,
and of the duty of the-|>eople to see
what can be done aboutj tj^ alarming
sit nation.
Col. Olds laid the trouble -largely
to the fact that; most of the men
and boys entering the ]>enal institu
tions are illiterate or have rarely
reached j>ast the third grade in school,
and to the laxity of home training.
Col. Olds said thatj we used to sing
about 44 Where is my wandering boy
tonight; but that now "Where is the
Wandering Mother." He said tlhat
a large majority of the boys and
girls would be better off and receive
better training if they were jrakei^
from their parents, and sent to an
orphanage. |
Col. Olds stressed tjfie beauty ofi
this section of North Carolina, an.l j
stated that we should advertise it, j
by placing markers calling attention 1
to tjie points of interest, by showing j
the things that we are raising, and
by keeping premises along the high
ways neat and attractive.
Col. Olds expressed his gratifies- j
tion at the ortlio|>edic work that, is
being s|?oiisored by the club iimong;
the crippled children of the country
and told of several instances that lie
has known of crippled boys and
girls, being changed from objects of
pity to strong, happy, useful children
by the surgeons at the orthojtedic
hospital in (Jasionia.
A representative of the state board
of health will he in Sylva next Tues
day to explain tj'ie work to the Ko
tarian?) who are enthusiastic over
the project they are sponsoring for
the crippled children of Jackson
County. ? - |

BIG MEN FROM SMALL TOWNS
? I *
JOHN J. RASKOB . j
i ' f J
One of the biggest, most success- 1
j ful business leaders of the country
hails from a small town in New
'^ork State. His name is John J
j Kaskoh, and the town is Lock]?ort.
j His enterprises are varied, liis fame
world-wide. Now he is Very much in
the lime-light as Che Chairman of
the Democratic National Committee
| He was 'horn in 187!) and educat
ed in public schools and a business
college. In 1900 he was stenographer
to tjhe chief engineer of a subsidiary
of the Worthington Pump Company,'
:it a salary of $7.50 a week, which !
helped his widowed mother and fam-j
ily. He asked for a raise, didn't pet
it, and then moved fo Lorain, Ohio,
to become the secretary of a man
named I'. S. du Pont. He asked for
the miitiifieient salary of $1,000 a:
year ? and got it!
When Pierre du Pontl and his two
cousins acquired the great K. I. du!
Pont re Xcipours Co., Kaskoh camel
with du Pont to Wilmington, Dele- 1
ware, as his secretary. When du Pontj
became president of ^hc gigantic con
cern, Kaskoh was elevated to the post I
,of treasurer. Still later the former:
stenographer was elected vice-presi
dent in charge of finance.
He brgj.ii buying stock in (leneml
Motors and convinced du Pont to do
the same, and soon du Pont and lie,
were surprised to learn thrtj through j
a |H'eiiliar combination of eircumi
stances they held tin* balance of pow
er in (Scncral Motors. The two big
stockholders ' holdings were so evenly
balanced t liat| Kaskoh and du Pont
could tip the scale.
Kaskoh and du Pont became di
rectors of (leneral Motors. In a later
reorganization Kaskoh became vice
president, and he has b^en chairman ?
of the Finance CoinmitAcc since 1918.
The story of Kaskoh 's rise is one
of the most sensational success stories j
in the history of America. Today hcj
[is financial head of a billion dollur
coi|H)iatioii, and a bigger financierl
than all but; a handful of the country,
bankers,
Il<' married in 190H, and the crown |
ing glories of his life are his children. |
There are twelve of them.
His optimism, his enthuiasm, and
his ability to work hard arc the truoj
i secrets of his astounding success. He
j is a great organizer and administra
| tor. His career, like the careers of
so many of our national leaders,
graphically illustrates the vast oppor
tunities America offers to the small'
town boy.
