(Probably not enough.) But, to be completely pro tected in the modern sense, your home needs a lot of other insurance protection today. There is now an America Fore COMBINED RESI DENCE POUCY which will protect a home owner against most of the losses that can happen to him as a home owner. Ask about this policy which covers damage by water, steam, oil or other fluids — cost of repairs and replace ments to plumbing and heat ing systems—automobile and aircraft property damage — explosion — replacement of fixed glass—windstorm—loss of rental value—public liabil ity and property damage — hold-dp and burglary — and theft on or away from premis es (“mysterious disappear- ance” is now deemed to be theft.) CLINTON REALTY & INSURANCE CO. B. Hubert Boyd, Agent Washington, D. C., March 2o.— Private ownership has lost the sup- gprt of millions of workers. Why? Because manage ment has never tak- 4he time — to bridge the gap be tween the front office and the shop with the romantic story of the Ameri can free enterprise system. We have assum ed that the ’schools E*r«r W. Babsoa h ave been giving our youth an unerersianding of var ious economic systems and then pointing out the advantages of Am erican free enterprise. The schools have not done the job. Ask a few Cotton Insect Control Program Listed for State I ton insects. !

Down with* all Stockholders! Talk about advertising—that is a foolish waste of money. If the company was really interested in the worker, it would give him the money it spends for advertising; In short, too many wageworkers honestly believe that stockholders rob them of a rightful living; they think that the government should take over and do away with profits. Managements Attitude Can responsible free business sur vive with an antagonistic working : force? The answer to this question is an emphatic “No”. Management has too often looked upon the work er as a “hired man”. With this at titude, management must defend its prerogatives, or “good-bye” to Am erican supremacy. I wonder how many businessmen have recognized the significance of what General Eisenhower said about i the “inseparability of all the free doms.” If you really believe that some of our freedoms cannot be kept while others are flung to the winds, then you believe that all our per sonal, political, and social freedoms; can survive ony with the survival > of our economic freedom—which in- - eludes freedom to yvork, to own, to; save, to sell to buy, to compete, and, to bargain honestly without the use | of force by either side. Sell America If you are really enthusiastic about the American way, a system that enables six per cent of the world’s population to out-produce the other 94 per cent, why have you kept it a secret? Why haven’t our employees learned that the American system provides more goods and services for the wageworkers themselves than any other system in the world —in spite of its imperfections. The time is now to sell America. Dig up the facts. Toss out some comparative statistics. Bring in D. P.s who have lived under Commun ism and Socialism to tell how they fared as workers. Use your PA system, house organ, posters, super visors to give the worker information he wants and needs. Let him know what it costs to own and maintain a factory, repair and replace equip ment, provide power, labor and ma terials, the cost of waste. . . and don’t forget taxes! What About Profits? There has been a lot of loose talk about profits. We should show the wageworkers how company reserves mean protection for their jobs, how they should encourage venture cap ital. A few Statistics, on advertising should be helpful reminding work ers that the fellow on the next ma chine got his job as a result of the company spending more on advertis ing. It won’t be hard to prove that the fellow who thinks it is OK to soak the employer with taxes is just soak ing himself in the long run'. Every employee should know how much capital it takes to provide him with his job.
