Hubert Boyd Phone 6 Once upon a time—according to Harz mountain legend—a poor miner’s wife was gathering pine cones in the forest. It was just be fore Christmas, her husband was ill, and there was no money in the house for food. So, she gathered the cones and sold them to the villagers for kindling—obtaining enough for the day’s necessities. One morning while she was look ing for such cones, a little imp jumped out of a huge fir tree. "Here, here are the biggest, driest cones of all! Take these," he shrieked, jumping up and down excitedly. Suddenly, there was such a show er of cones that the poor woman was frightened. She tried to run away, but could not move until the little imp had filled her basket. And, hav ing started home, the basket grew heavier and heavier—she wished the elf hadn’t disappeared, he might have helped her. When she finally reached her hut, she called the children to help car ry the basket inside. Emptying the basket, they found that every cone was made of solid silver. Commemorating these legendary silver cones, gilded pine cones are sold in modern stores, to decorate our homes—to burn and crackle gaily in our Christmas fires. ! a river, a small waterpower is near-' by. It is not an investment any more than an insurance policy is an invest ment. Such a place would give a family Wholly dependent thereon on ly a meager existence. The same time and energy spent on a city job would pay four times as much as if expended on this farm; but for em-. ployes who work in a large city, it is an excellent investment. , Farms As Insurance This is not a recommendation that educated young or old people try to get a living on such a farm. The experiment would probably end in disappointment. Such farms are useful as summer homes for employ ers and executives within commut ing distance, or those who have saved or inherited a modest nestegg. This, ! however, is "an appeal that medium- ’ sized corporations provide not only for their owners and the business, but also for their key employes and families. I. I believe that more corporations should buy a few such farms with in 20 to 60 miles orf their plant. These farms should be fairly close together, they should be expected to pay only enough to compensate for maintenance and taxes. They should be furnished so each house could in an emergency take care of four fam ilies (with one central kitchen). I repeat: There some day will be a World War III; when it comes some of the above cities will be bombed. Old employes who do not have the money to buy and maintain such places of refuge, should be protected in this way. The time to buy sufch farms is now.

Probably every state has i i some similar safe, productive and at- I tractive sections. Readers who live in such places should be very thank- | ful. With the above introduction I will sail ahead. What I Have Done For some time our statistical de partment has been building a branch at New Boston, N. H. for use in case of World War III. We bought an old brick building which we could use for offices and several nearby homes in which we could house a limited number of executives. We believe that many more business con- 1 cerns in one of these vulnerable cit ies should do the same thing. They owe it to their customers. Most em ployers have summer places to which they personally could flee, but such y places do not provide an emergency 1 plant or emergency offices. We however have not been con- ! i tent to do only this. We have been . picking up some old farm houses I to which the families of our employ-| | es could move. These are from one 1 to three miles from our emergency ! plant at New Boston, a distance which | could easily be covered with a 1 horse and wagon if no gasoline is | available. Such farm houses are well- i built with all modern conveniences 1 and would cost $30,000 to build to- 1 day. What Old Farms Cost I "Old” Boston is a city of about 800,000, and with its close suburbs % | contains about 2,550,000. The autho- ' rities told us that to be absolutely | safe we must be about 60 miles away. $ Hence, for our emergency plant, we g went north to New Boston, N. H 6 where there is*a bountiful supply of g food and fuel which makes it inde- £ pendent of railroad transportation. g In addition to the emergency of- it fices and homes for executives, we g are taking another step to protect, in such an emergency, our loyal em- j-j ployes of long service. As an illus- ' tration, we last week bought for only $6,800 a farm of 183-acres with an oW farmhouse of 10 rooms, a good j barn, electric lights and telephone. It consists of 73 acres of woodland, ! 70 acres of pasture, and 40 acres of [ bottom tillage. The place borders' Wanted!
