1 _ THE CLINTON CHRONICLE Thursday, July 2t, 1961 Farm Safety Week We Americans seem to need an official “week” each year to remind us of thing* we really should practice even- week of every year. There’s nothing wrong with the idea—the official reminder usually proves helpful—but too often too many people will substitute one week’s observance for a year's practice. National Farm Safety Week, now being celebrated (July 23-29), is a perfect exam ple of a “week” that should be considered a continual part of rural life. Co-sponsored by the National Safety Coun cil and the U. S. Department of Agricul ture, the 18th annual National Farm Safety Week has as its theme, “Safety Is a Family Affair.” Accidents in farm homes take about 2,- 700 lives a year, according to the National Safety Council, and 3,400 persons are killed each year doing farm work. Accident prevention, on the farm as any where else, involves positive action that makes sure a job is being properly done. Servicing a machine while it is moving is not only an unsafe practice, but is an ineffi cient way to do the job. Observing safe practices when driving ve hicles means operating the vehicles for peak performance—getting the most efficient op eration and saving wear and tear on the en gine. If we think of safe practices as a means of doing things, rather than as a set of do’s and don’t’*, accident prevention will pre serve the lives of farm families. It is up to each of us to see that we fol low safe practices in every farm activity— at work, at home, at play, and on the high ways. None of u« can afford the economic loss—to say nothing of the personal tragedy —wrought by farm accidents. Let’s make every week Farm Safety Week. A Word For Small Colleges Students who for one reason or another cannot attend the big, famous and often distant universities should not overlook the values and opportunities to be found in the small colleges which dot our land. In many respects the small are equal to the big. In a study of scientific manpower a while back. Dr. John R. Steelman found that in the same period Hope College, Monmouth Col lege, St. Olafs College and Oberlin College combined produced more candidates for the doctor’s degree in chemistry than did Johns Hopkins, Fordham, Columbia, Tulane and Syracuse all together. Prof. William S. Haldeman, a real-hfe “Mr. Chips,” was responsible for inspiring a fourth of all students who majored in chemistry under him in his thirty-four years at Monmouth College in Illinois to obtain ad vanced degrees. If they needed money to do so, he often loaned it to them from his own pocket. One of his graduate* had an important role in the commercial production of peni cillin. Others have helped in atomic research and many are in key position* in the chem ical industry. Still others are following in his footsteps as teachers and helping to train more scientists. Professor Haldeman has moved on to a well-earned retirement in San Diego. Cali fornia, but Monmouth and other small col lege* continue to have such inspiring and de voted teacher* on their faculties and they are among America’s greatest assets. South Carolina’s small colleges, including Clinton’s own Presbyterian College, have been offering such values and opportunities for years. gambling against the possibility of being crippled for life through their own negli gence. Whether or not the Sabin live-virus vac cine is a better vaccine than Dr. Salk’s is a hiatter for scientists and physicians to de cide—later. The National Foundation,‘which financed all the research leading to both vaccines with funds contributed to the March of Dimes, gives the only sound ad vice which parents can follow. It points out that, since no live-virus vac-cine has yet been licensed for distribution, since you cannot get live-virus vaccine from your phy sician, and since the present polio “season” will be over before mass 'production, li censing and distribution of the live-virus vaccines are completed, there is only one course of action for conscientious parents to pursue. Get your family started on a full series of Salk shots TODAY. Millions of pre-school children and young adults are still without protection. These are the age groups most open to attack. Don’t let technical controversy confuse vou. Vaccinate NOW. Don’t Be Confused When controversy lead* to public enlight enment, we’re all for it. But there are times when controversy results in public confu sion, with disastrous results. This is particu- lariy true when experts clash on technical points that cannot be grasped quickly by those of us without scientific background. We fervently hope the recent controversy over the relative merite of polio vaccines will not discourage parents from seeing that their families are given a full series of Salk shots immediately. This is the critical time of year when the unprotected are most ex posed to the polk) attack. The Salk vaccine is available now. It is more than 90 per cent effective in preventing paralytic polio. Those who have not been vaccinated are Hurricane News Of The Week Babson Discusses First-Half-1961 Developments a»r»r w. BahMS Mrs. Mac Going left Monday for Williamson.

Five Doy Week, Babson Park, Mass., July 27—The laymen whom 1 meet and talk with often express confu sion as to the true statue of business and financial conditions, having been bombarded with conflict ing reports from the optimists and the pessimists Therefore, 1 think it would be helpful to readers to have a brief survey of economic developments through mid-year 1801. SECURITIES MARKETS The outstanding feature of financial conditions over the first six months of 1901 was the sharp up spurt in stock market activity. The Dow-Jones Industrial Average rose from 010 at the beginning of the year to an all-time high of 706 in the middle of May, before trailing off to 684 at mid-year. Al though part of the increase in in vestment interest was in anticipa tion of some improvement in gen eral business later in the year, in flation psychology and specula tive enthusiasm heightened buy ing impationce. Bond prices were on the upside until late in this period as easy credit conditions in the banking system sustained demand for them. Tax-exempt bonds proved to be the exception, however, with prices depressed by the huge volume of new of ferings. GENERAL BUSINESS " Industrial production continued to decline dur ing January and February, then in March regain ed the ground lost in those two months. There after, output from the nation’s factories expanded sharply. The breadth and vigor of the business upturn were indications that the fourth economic recession since World War II had run its course. Notwithstanding pump-priming measures initiat ed by the Government, the business rebound was largely the result of natural curative forces It has been my experience that over-exertion, colds, and indigestion respond best to “rest and treat ment," usually without my having to resort to pills So, too, the recessionary period provided the needed rest for the economy to appear to cor rect such inbalances as excessive inventories and debt, and unduly high price and cost structures. The biggest source of disappointment during the first half of 1901 was the lethargic pace of con sumer spending for goods. Monthly retail sales figures dawdled along at rates below those for the year-earlier period This, however, may have been a blessing in disguise, since consumers were building up future buying potential by adding to their savings and paying off their installment debts. NEW BUILDING AND BEAL ESTATE New construction expenditures continued the generally sidewise trend of 1900. Commercial, in dustrial, and public utility outlays for new con struction were at record rates, but these were off set by the low levels of home building and high way construction. However, housing starts began to edge upward after the beginning of the year, and road building took an upward spurt in the spring. Real estate prices were generally steady dur ing this peiod Suburban porperty values held firm because of residential, commercial, and in dustrial developments in oulying areas made ac cessible by new highways. Urban real estate val ues, however, remained under the handicap of traffic and parking problems Farm land prices continued to rise, aided by prospects of increas ed usugr of agricultural products through foreign aid programs. EMPLOYMENT AND INCOMES Employment conditions presented a mixed pat tern. Unemployment rose sharply during the win ter. and improved only slightly in the spring. Em ployment in manufacturing, mining, and con struction suffered from the drop in business, and responded only grudgingly to the rebound in ac tivity during the spring. Factory work weeks, however, showed a steady improvement. Personal incomes edged downward early In the year lengthened factory work weeks and wage increases, however, restored the rising trend to| personal incomes, which hit n new record level by! mid-year. The foregoing study indicates to me that, on the whole, the economy weathered the “resting period” quite well, and has emergar on a healthier footing.
