C. # Thursday, September 11, 1952 Number 37 A Regular Chronicle Feature THERE ARE PLENTY OF JOBS AVAILABLE, BABSON ASSERTS Paper Standard Permits Government To Create Inflation. By ROGER W. BABSON Gloucester, Mass., Sept. 5.—As this is Labor Day week, it is fit ting to write about “jobs.” This year jobs are plentiful for all who are willing to work. This, how ever, may not be rtue in 1953. Jobs and Politics This year it has been easy to get a job for three reasons: (1) because of the great military expenditures; (2) because there has been almost no curtailment of “peace summer goods”; and (3) because the pres- e n t Democratic ent Dem o c r a t i c Administration i s spending all the money it can toj keet> business! prosperous until' after the election. As I have e x - plained before, our country is no longer under the Boger W. Bsbsoa gojj standard, which prevented Washington from making jobs artificially. We now are under a “paper standard,” which enables Washington to ex pand the job balloon until it bursts. This does not mean nece ssarily that the “bust” will come next year. But I do feel that, whatever Party is elected on Nov. 4th—in trying to avoid a bust— will stop inflating the balloon and perhaps gradually let the air out. This would be the safe thing to do: but it might make fewer jobs. Watch Import* —It'may be r- that throtigh Increased advertising and better selling methods consum erdemands here at home can be built up to offset the natural decline in war orders. If labor leaders will be reasonable, this can be done. Savings have been increasing and wages ontinue high. But what about imports? Every store you enter is now offering for eign-made goods of all kinds. These are being made by people who work 10 to 12 hours a day to' keep their families from starvation. You say: “Put on more triffs to keep out these foreign goods.” This is possible; but it w f ould surely force these foreign workers into Com munism and lead to World War III. What Is The Remedy? The only sane way to prevent such a catastrophe within the next few years would be for our people to work harder and longer hours without asking for more wage in creases. This would reduce the prices of goods made in this coun try. If costs and prices here can be reduced, then our people will have enough money to buy both the goods made in the U. S. A and also the foreign goods. If you now'have a job, make the best of it. Be the first to arrive every morning and the last to leave at night. Subscribe to the Trade Magazine of the industry in which you are employed. Take a correspondence course to become more efficient. Be loyal to and speak well of your employer. He has more troubles than you have. He has the jbo of selling the goods or services which you are helping to make or render. His job will be especially hard in 1953. What About Labor Unions? Labor unions are here to stay, especially in large cities. Where big business exists, we must expect big unions to follow. This means steel strikes, coal strikes and tex tile strikes will continue. In these large cities where employees are more impersonal reasonable labor unions and collective bergaining are convenient and serve as a pro tection to both wageworkers anu employers. - There are, however, is no excuse for labor unions in small cities where all knqpr one another. Labor unions are unnecessary where an employer knows all his wagework ers by name and is acquainted with their hopes and troubles. Moral for manufacturers: Don’t al low your plant to get too big. Don’t Don’t try to be the; richest man in the cemetery. ARE YOU AN ALCOHOLIC? t—+1 MI D W A Y Drive-In Theatre NEWEST AND FINEST CLINTON — JOANNA £ :: % % ft ft ft ft ft ft ft ft THURSDAY SEPTEMBER II FLIGHT TO MARS Marguerite Chapman — Cameron Mitchell TWO COMEDIES — CARTOON FRIDAY-SATURDAY SEPT. 12-13 CAVALRY SCOUT Rod Cameron SHORT — CARTOON NOTICE—NEW PROGRAM IN EFFECT SUNDAY-MONDAY SEPT. 14-15 THE BABE RUTH STORY CARTOON TUESDAY-WEDNESDAY SEPT. 16-17 HIS KIND OF WOMAN Robert Mitchum — Jane Russell / CARTOON WAHOO DISCONTINUED ADMISSION 40c Children under 12 admitted FREE First Show Starts at Dusk—Second Show at 10 P.M. \ (Prepared by the staff of Fair- view Alcoholic Rehabilitation Cen ter, Ridgeway, S. C.) Many alcoholics stubbornly re fuse to admit that they are alcohol ics, claiming that they can stop whenever they want to. One of our patients. 67 years of age, who had been an out of control drinker for many years, said, “I am not an alcoholic. I never got drung. I just drink all the time—not much over a quart a day.” It is. essential that the alcoholic admit that he is out of control, and that his life has become unman ageable. -Until he takes this step and faces the necessity for doing something about his- drinking, it is impossible to help him stop drinking. The test we give at Fairview is a combination test. Take it and judge yourself. Answer each question yes or no. Be absolutely honest. 1. Do you drink at a regular time each day? 2. After drinking at night, do you need a drink next morning? 3. Do you drink to relieve ner vous tension? 4. Have you lost time from work due to drinking? 5. Do you drink to give yourself confidence? 6. Is drinking affecting the happiness of your family? 7. Has drinking caused you to get into financial trouble? 8. Have friends and family lost confidence in you due to drinking? 9. Has drinking made you care less of responsibilities? 10. Has drinking caused you to be less ambitious? 11. Do you prefer to drink alone? 12. Do you drink when yo uaro worried? 13. Do you need a drink after a disappoinemtnt? 14. Are you more suspicious of husband or wife? 15. Has drinking made you more irritable? 16. Do you feel remorse when you sober up? 17. Have you ever been hospit alized for alcoholism? ^ 18. Have you ever been jailed for drunkeiiness?-'' ' j- : 19. Have you ever been treated by a physician for drinking? 20. Has drinking injured your business? ’ 21., Do you associate with “low er” people while drinking? 22. Has drinking adversely af fected the marriage relationship? 22. Have you ever taken drugs to help you “get over” a drunk? 24. Has drinking made you more resentful of others? 25. Are you more critical of others? ■ 26. Do you Diame your drinking on conditions? On others? If you answer yes to six, you are ?n alcoholic. If you answered y s to less than 14, you will probably cendy you are an alcoholic. If you fall into this group, prove you are rot an alcoholic by stopping after one drink. Remember, alcoholism is progressive. If you answer yes to six questions and don’t stop now, it is only a question of time until you will have to answer yes to many more. Most of the things that happen to alcoholics will hap pen to you in due time, unless y >u stop now. Once you have crossed the lin£ into compulsion drinking, there is no return ever to normal drir.ung. Total abstinence for lu : is the only course open to the alco holic.
