But these tools must have cost you plenty.” | “Yes, I've put over SBOO into them, but soon my hobby will be paying me a good profit. “I guess those machines we have at the plant cost a lot of money, too. “Plight. I’ve read that it costs a manufacturer about $12,000 per worker for tools and equipment to provide jobs like ours.’ “That s quite an investment, isn’t it? ’ “You bet it is! But these modern machines help us turn out our product at less cost per piece that means our company can sell at lower prices and more people can buy from us.” “And when the company does more business and makes a profit, our jobs are more secure, aren’t they? “Right again, Joe. It takes sales and profits to provide new machinery, higher wages for us, and more jobs for other people. The better we produce the more all of us benefit —and modern machinery helps us to increase our output.

ECONOMY DRUG SIORK tion of National Employ the Physically Handicapped Week, a week set aside annually since 1945; by the Congress in a truly Ameri can manner and given Presidential endorsement through an appro- j priate Proclamation. As good citizens we are generally ! agreed that employment of the Handicapped is a good thing. But. as busy men and women, we use modern promotional and educa tional means to dramatize the cause for which we all work the year-round, hence the "Week" and the existence of Governors’ and community committees. As with most noble objectives, being in favor of hiring the handicapped is not sufficient; we must also do something about it. This Program Guide suggests certain ways in which indivi duals and groups ran do some thing about rehabilitation and employment of the physically handicapped. Unfortunately, these 10 years have added heavily to the ranks of the handicapped. Modern man. who has increased our life span through medical science and the control or cure of diseases and disabilities once considered fatal, has not been able to prevent the wounds of World War II and Ko rea or the industrial, highway and home accidents of a 60 mile-an hour civilization. As our popula tion increases, so, too. does the total number of handicapped men. women and children in our coun try. These men. women and child ren are our most priceless assets, and, should a major armed con flict be forced upon us. our citizen-power will become even more vital. The handicapped might well mean the difference between survival or defeat In a conflict with a foe numerically far superior to us and our allies. To a communists, the individual means nothing. To a free man. the individual is possessed of dignity and an eternal destiny. For this reason, aside from the economic and social realities in volved. it is incumbent upon all good citizens to strive to increase employment opportunities for those qualified handicapped men and women among us who seek only work and a chance to play their part in the drama of life.
