Well, I know the answer to that one. If you make someone else happy, deliberately, you will enjoy the aftermath, as surely as the night follows the day. Carl P. West of Decatur, Ga., relates an inci dent that he says was truly tragic, though many might call it a minor happening. He tells of a stenographer with a record of 35 years of faithful service who asked her boss why she didn’t get a raise in salary. The younger girls were getting raises regularly with' very little effort on their part. She was producing twice the work of any one of them, yet, no increase for her. Why? Her boss took the easiest way out and said, “We can get anyone off the street at $35 per week to do your work; why pay you more!’’ Thirty-Ave yeass of faithful service and no one appre ciated her efforts, her knowledge of the work. Life for her seemed unbearable. Mr. West was a witness to this unfortunate incident and his sympathy was all for the woman. A few days later he had aa urgent job which would have to be done completely over and which it would seem would require a good two days’ of time. He went to the above mentioned stenographer with his problem and she suggested a way that would enable them to get the work out within a couple of hours. Upon completion of the work, he praised the stenag- rapher not only for what she had done but for her service to the company over the years. He pointed out that they would have been lost without her help on this job. He had no more than got back into his office, when she appeared. She said, “Mr. West, I wouldn’t take a thousand dol lars for what you said a few minutes ago.” Mr. West asked, .“Why?” Then added, “I didn’t say anything you didn’t de serve. -r : ‘.-v » “But,” she said, “you gave me all the credit and you praised me in front of my boss. I know after what you said, that he will not only think me worth more, but he will feel that I am more valuable than someone he could call in from the street. You have given me a new lease on life—and I am so happy.” Mr. West says that he was happier, too, for days after that. Is there someone whose life you can touch as easily, and be happier because you do? Try it. SURVEY SHOWS 4 MILLION REDS IN WEST EUROPE Paris, March 27—A survey show ed today that Moscow probably can count on unquestioning obedience from about 4.000,000 dyed-in-the-red Communists in the D Marshall Plan nations and areas of Western Eu rope. This appraisal indicated that pre sent anti-West threats by the Com munists are far out of proportion to their ability to back them up—that their bark is worse than their bite. Marshall Plan countries have a to tal population of 235.185.000. Still, in time of war the Commun ists, despite their numerical weak ness, would be able to hamper West ern armies and aid. the Russians by blowing up bridges and power sta tions and carrying out similar acts of sabotage. But they probably would have little opportunity to carry out ac tivities of that type. In the event of an East-West conflict, the chances are the governments of Western Eu rope would outlaw the Communist party and jail Communists leaders in a hurry. The survey of Communist power was made by Associated Press cor respondents. It was based on the Communists’ own n ports and on iovernmtnt estimates. A differentation is made between he party's voting strength in elec- ions and the number cf Cornmun- sts who could be expected blindly o follow orders from the Kremlin in peace and from an occupying So- iet army in time of war. Even the Communists do not say hat the 15,387,323 votes the party oceived in the last significant elec tions held in the 19 nations and reas-- represent their strength, lany leftist and workers who are not members of the party string dong at the ballot box with the Communists in the hope of swelling the size of their pay envelopes. Even assuming that the voting ;trength was an index of the party’s >ize, it still would mean that the IComiTufnists have the support of only six per cent of the people living in the Marshall Plan coun ties. Thus, the survey suggests there may be more holler than fight in the recent threats of Western Eu ropean Communist leaders to hwart the North Atlantic treaty and ;o side with Russia in the event of war. The Communists virtually are pow.rless in Western Europe’s legislative halls, the survey showed. They may create rowdy disturban ces and make fiery speeches from the floor but the party holds only 524 of the 5,189 seats m the com bined parliaments of the 19 nations and regions. The survey showed the Commu- * Vi nists are strongest in Italy, France, and Germany. In Italy, the Communists claim ,to have slightly more than 2,000,- 00 members. Militant strength of the party is represented mainly by the Communist partisans, estimated reliably to number 100.000 or more. The party polled 6,989,584 votes last year and has 141 of the 574 seats in the chamber of deputies and 75 of 334 seats in the senate. France’s Communist party has 800.000 members, the interior min istry says. Probably 100,000 of these are die hards. In the 1946 election the party received 5.351.926 votes of a total of 19,216.375. It holds 182 i of the 611 seats in the lower house of parliament and 20 of 320 in the I upper house. 1 Communists in the three Western zones of Germany have polled 1,- 304.941 votes recently. They have two of the 65 seats in the purlia- mentory council at Bonn. Fresh Shipment YOUNG MULES H. J. Pitts JOHN DEERE TRACTORS AND IMPLEMENTS THAT WORK Wire Tieing Pickup Hay Haler.
