THE CLOTHMAKER Our Future Today's world is bursting with change, with growth, with new ideas. But there are some things, fashioned long ago that we should never ignore, should never push aside as old fashioned ? such as the words of James Madison at the Constitutional Convention: "We have staked the future of all our political institutions upon the capacity of mankind for self-government; upon the p D n onif \r r\f onoK om/J r* I 1 ^ f ? * - v/i anu an ui ub to govern ourselves; to control ourselves according to the Ten Commandments of God." In today's hurried race toward the new, we should never forget that survival of our way of life depends upon the faith the Founding Fathers had in themselves; their faith in the ability of future generations of Americans to be responsible individuals. Are we, each in our individual way, shouldering the responsibility? Or have we, little by little, been cheating future generations of this heritage by allowing a growing central government to take us away from that faith. Attitudes Are What are attitudes? Someone has said, "An attitude is an unseen ingredient." Attitudes are hard to understand and explain, but they are very important 10 us and to others. We influence others more by our attitudes than by what we say or what we do. Where do our attitudes come from? We were not born with ready - made attitudes. Children are born with a capacity to develop likes and dislikes. By the time a child goes to school the foundations have been laid for general attitudes toward others and toward particular individuals and groups. These foundations have been built from the feelings and conduct of parents, grandparents, relatives, friends, teachers, ministers, and neighbors. We are all constantlv beinti influenced bv v ' %/ the attitudes of those whom we respect and admire.

In other industries, such as leather products and furniture the figure may be as low as $7,000 to $9,000. Q. What is the average cost? A. The average cost of providing an industrial job is $22,000. Q. How is the cost arrived it? A. Before an employee can STOP POLIO SUNDAY December 8 January 12 ! Important far-reacmng their thoughtless comments may be. Wrong attitudes are dangerous! Riaht Attitudes How can right attitudes be developed? The first step that each person can take in developing right attitudes is to examine his own behavior. Prejudice does not easily develop in the hearts and minds of people who feel secure and worthwhile, who have learned to trust others. A happy home climate inoculates children against fears and worries, and helps them develop courage and constructive attitudes toward life. The best rule for developing right attitudes is found in the Golden Rule, "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you." Won't you check on your attitudes and help your children develop constructive attitudes? ? Key to Progress / group of the better look to more than its earn a profit? stified share ?

When payday comes, the employee must get his wages. The sum of all these costs is then divided by the number of jobs. Q. Where does the money to provide jobs come from? A. It comes from the savings of individuals and businesses that are invested? or re-invested ? in enterprises providing the jobs. Q. Are the demands for these investment funds heavy? A. The demands for investment funds (capital) are heavy and constant. Suppose, for example, that a nrmr nlnnt i?i to Pmtllnv v ? I 1,000 people. It would take an investment of $22 million to provide the jobs. This money would have to be made available by investors even though they would have no positive assurance that their investment will be profitable. Q. What is the number of new jobs that must be provided each year? A. The exact number cannot be established but more than 1 million persons seek to join the workforce each year. Al^ i i _ r it mougn some 01 me newcomers will replace workers who have retired, or died, new jobs have to be created for the majority. This makes crystal clear the tremendous and recurring demand for investment funds. and Security your company's ability to y government is the best ; social security when you must have a job to build security; besides, you and each pays half of the tax ial security possible, unemployment insurance ment, isn't it?
