Signature - Household - Emergency LOANS To Consolidate Debts EXACT PAYMENTS ON NCC LOANS Babson Park. Mass., March 2b— With all this talk about defense- missiles, and preparation for war, I have been wondering if I should not have a little “stockpile".for myself and my family? I am writing this on the basis of my personal expe rience during World Wars I and II. In fact, during World War I, I was in Washington as Assistant Secreta- ry of Labor to President Woodrow Wilson and owned a house next door to the Rusian Embassy. WORLD WAR III CAN COME AS A SURPRISE Let us remember that no bomb was dropped on North America during either of the two world wars The first atomic bomb was practi cally the last bomb dropped during World War II; but some surprise wil take the place of “Pearl Har bor.’’ In the event of World War III, conditions will be vastly different in the United States. Your radio will announce some morning that one or more large U. S. cities were completely destroyed during the night, and that millions of our ci tizens were killed. This is the first warning we will get. With so much space given to discussing missiles and Russia, should they not tell those of us who might survive what we should do° Let me state what I personally would do if still alive. THINK FIRST OF FAMILY AND F.MPIAJYEES My firs tthought would be as to what had happened Tinny children, grandchildren, and friends through out the country. I surely would like wise seek knowledge of what had happened to my business and its employees, including clients, and to the newspapers carrying this col umn My few investments would be forgotten that fatal morning. Therefore. I beg readers—before deciding the following is fantastic— to ponder what they personally would do on receipt of such news The first change in my personal mode of life would be to give up shaving; and instead, to grow a beard’ I next would begin to con serve soap, I would fill all pails and bath tubs with drinking water; and I would shut all windows to protect against “fall out.” I would emmedi- ateiy try to collect old clothes, over coats, and Tong drawers" (discard ed years ago), and everything else which would keep us warm. The supply of coal. oil. gas. or even wood for the fireplace would soon come to an end. ) WHAT ABOUT FOOD? The great problem would be get ting food with which to keep alive. Fortunate will be those who then live on or near farms. The city food stores and super markets would be cleaned out the first day, rationing of the most primitive food would begin as soon as possible. Rich and poor would be treated absolutely alike Stealing and hoarding would be severely punished. We all would be allowed ony the simplest of foods, with little if any meat, sugar, tea, coffee, and per haps milk No liquor would be avail able Our diet would be confined to food prepared from the great stock piles of corn, wheat, and other prod ucts which the government now has You ask: "Cannot each family avoid this by stocking up now on food products?" my reply, is “Per haps; but I personally remember trying to be ^fyrestghtedi before World War I by purchasnig an eiftra set of auto tires and storing them in my attic. Officers, however, took them from me. without in any way paying me." j * WHAT ABOUT MONEY? Batiks would be closed. Farmers would not long accept paper money. They Would want either silver cur rency or silver spoons! Anticipating this time, some of my friends are now storing silver dollars and de positing many dozens of silver spoons in safe deposit boxes in small town banks. Many who lived abroad in those days as eviilians know from experience what happen ed to the banks and currencies of our allies during World Wars I and II.- But listen to this question: Will Khese people be given access to these safe deposit boxes without a “hoarding officer’’ accompanying them? I doubt it. Also, gasoline would be strictly rationed and very few autos would be seen. In short, we might be oblgied to live under a form of communism, or certainly live about as the first settlers of New England and Virginia lived 350 years ago. Consult a lawyer to make your will of more use in case of World War III. Have your insu rance policies amended to give your family more protection. Keep these papers in the vault of some small country bank. WHAT ABOUT CIVIL DEFENSE? This question will Tie asked by most readers, who will wonder why these suggestions and warnings are not now issued by the Civil Defense authorities at Washington. I may be wrong, but my belief is that these officials fear they would be unmer cifully persecuted by manufactu rers, merchants, and labor leaders if they did so broadcast. It would be feared that consumers would so change their buying habits as to bring on bankruptcies, mortgage foreclosures and unemployment. As I have often said, consumers’ atti tudes are a basic cause of business conditions and determinant of the employment situation. Read tonight the advertisements in your favorite magazine or listen to your radio or TV. Ask yourself how many of these advertised products would be bought if consumers really feared that one Russian missile might un expectedly be dropped on some large large U. S. city very soon. With all the brainy money, and newsaper space given to missiles, sputniks, and “flopniks,’ ’it seems cruel and wrong not to warn our 170,000,000 people of what MAY be ahead. Certainly such warnings should be an important work of our Department of Defense and receive as much attention as military teats are receiving. Either beih are Im portant, or neither. At least our Civil befense should spend millions OFFICE SUPPUES At CHRONICLE PUB. CO. Phone 74 J. R. Crawford SURVEYING CLINTON, S.

Words, sold door-to-door We hear that door-to-door salesmen are in the neighbor hood, selling “vitamin preparations” with apparentconcern about your health. These men are not likely to be phy sicians or pharmacists, and thus are neither professional^ qualified to talk about your health nor to prescribe vitamin products. This is your physician’s job, just as it is your phannadrt’s job to fill such prescriptions. Remember what the door-to-door salesman sells best is words.
