BARSON DISCUSSES KOREA AND
YOUR JOB
By ROGER W. BABSON
New York City, April 9.—Read
ers will be interested in remember
ing that two weeks ago in this col
umn I stated: “Churchill could be
a great factor in bringing the Ko
rean war to an end. Therefore, I
still believe that 1953 will see a Ko
rean truce unless one of the satel
lites kicks over the apple cart.”
What A Truce Means
A truce merely means cesation of
fighting to ascertain if terms for
peace can be arranged, but chances
for peace are, of course, greatly en
hanced by an armistice. If peace
. should come in
Korea what would
it mean to the av-
e r a g e American?
Perhaps the most
immedia t e 1 y im-
portant ,eff ect
would be the loss
of overtime and
other extras which
have come to be

ially those with teen-age children,
who claim they will be “disgraced
if the car, or television, or fur coat
is taken away from them. During
a truce these people, at least, will
be cautious about future install
ment commitments.
Peace in Korea does not mean
that our rearmament program will
be cut down this year. Already
too many families are cutting down
on* meats, doctors, dentists and
other expenditures which the
neighbors do not know about^This
explains the record decline in the
sale of some commodities, due, in
part, to a fear of Korean peace.
Business Cycles

employment. But it is a mistake
to get frightened about his now.
Just as prosperity rolls up like a
snowball when employment is in
creasing, the snowball quickly
melts when unemployment gets
underway. We are now in the first
stages, with the cutting off of over
time and perhaps one shift. Defla
tion has already taken he place of
inflation. The 53 cent dollar which
I advised “buying” during 1952 is
already worth more.
Depressions Appear Necessary
I dread going through another
period of unemployment, but I real
ly believe that such may some day
be necessary to correct the evils of
waste, inefficiency and dishonesty
which develop during “good times.”
Unfortunately we learn only
through adversity.
Furthermore, the sooner such
corrections take place, the better
off we all should be. Those who
now give their best to their em
ployers will be the last to be laid
off, if ever. The first to be dis
charged are the lazy clock watchers
who, when applying for their jobs,
asked: “What’s the pay? How
many hours? Do I get Saturdays
off, and what about coffee?”
Better Chance For Youth
Young people claim that they
have not the opportunities which
their parents had. They talk about
the “big corporations” doing all the
business and supplying all the jobs,
affording little chance to small
businesses. I don’t admi tthis to be
true. There are more opportuni
ties now than ever before for young
men to go into business for them
selves if they will work ten hours
a day, for six days a week, and save
money, the same as I had to do.
Good salesmen are needed now
more than- ever: Good -salesmen
were purchased may buy fewer
electrical appliances, furniture and
K fur coats. If so, this may cause
manufacturers to reduce their em
ployees and hence cause some i*i-

Hence, for their hard work “pound
ing pavements and ringing door
bells” they need not ever fear be
ing caught by installment pur
chase or financial difficulties, un
der any conditions. In view of the
news from Korea, these salesmen
should now work harder than ever.
In short, I believe we may some
time suffer from unemployment,
but a Korean peace need not bring
this about. The Free Nations will
still be tfighting Russia’s determiaa-
tion for World Supremacy. There
fore, nc oae- should now get pan
icky over the prospects for a Ko
rean Peace. We should think of
our boys over there and thank God
for the hopes of peace.
For the information of all parents
whose children may have the mis
fortune to be exposed to polio this
season the office of defense mobiliza
tion has announced further de
tails for distribution of gamma glo
bulin.
The plan is this: Parents whose
children have been exposed to polio
are to contact their family physicians
who, after determining if the situa
tion warrants, will obtain the neces
sary supply of gamma globulin from
the state health officer and adminis
ter it to the child.
In making this announcement,
ODM stressed these factors: Gamma
globulin used under very special
circumstances will help minimize the
crippling effects of polio. One in- j
noculation of gamma globulin will
not last a child throughout the en
tire season, but will afford partial
immunity for about five weeks. The
polio season usually extends ten
weeks during June, July and Au
gust.
ODM h^s notified state health of-!
ficers that there will be an available 1
supply during the coming year of
approximately six to seven million
CCs (an average dose is lOCCs) of
gamma globulin for use in the fight
against polio. In addition to that
amount of gamma globulin needed
to combat measles and infectious
hepatitis.
The initial delivery of this alloca-l
tion will be made on or about May 1,
when each state will receive an
amount of the immune serum based
on 40 CCs times the average number
of cases reported in that state for the
five year period, 1947-51. The total
basic allotment will be on the basis
of 40 CCs times the number of re
ported clinically diagnosed cases.
In addition to this initial alloca
tion, further shipments will be made
from a national pool when the polio
rate in any one state reaches epi
demic or an emergency situation,
within the limits of available supply.
The state public health officers will
in turn distribute gamma globulin to
family physicians when there is a
need.

fects of James Wister Crawford.
These are, therefore, to cite and
admonish all and singular the kin
dred and creditors of the said James
Wister Crawford, deceased, that they
be and appear before me, in the
Court of Probate, to be held at Lau
rens Court House, Laurens, S. C., on
April 16, next, after publication
hereof, at 10 o’clock in the forenoon,
to show cause, if any they have, why
the said Administration should not
be granted.
