Hi*
The refarih from the song “Love and
Marriage” that goes: “You can’t have one
without the other,” applies just as aptly
to the inseparability of federal funds and
federal control.
When the national government advances
money to a state or a community, for any
purpose, it unfailingly .marches in with
regulatory banners flying even though the
money actually comes out of taxpayers’
pocketa.>l w
Communities, states and individuals
should ponder over the inevitability of hav
ing to submit to regulation if they ac
cept federal grants before rushing to sup
port the Administration’s aid-to-education
plan.
The $8 billion that will be dispensed un
der the measure probably looks very en
ticing to school administrators who may be
experiencing difficulty because of low
budgets, but they should ask themselves
whether they are willing to accept not
one but two new boys hi their school—fed
eral gnmfs and regulation.

ing. But that very complexity should in
itself make each of us ever more zealous
in protecting the rights, duties and respon
sibilities which characterize a free nation.
The greater the problems, the greater mast
be our dstprmiaation to keep the individual
from being reduced to a statistic.
We hare gone a long way toward be
coming statistics. Plans and programs are
in the wind which would take us still far
ther. This nation grew gnat and strong
because it believed in the “Free Man.” Will
the “Indifferent Man” take his place?
Sweet And Low
President Johnson had said he hoped to
submit to the Congress a budget of less
than 8100 billion.
And what do you know? He did! At
888-7 billion, it was purer, even, than Ivory
soap. But, even at this modest figure, it
overbalanced 884.3 billion of estimatted tax
revenue by 85.4 billion.
. Old Washington hands, however, with
some experience at budget analysis, and
hence inclined to be cynical, are agreed that
the 889.7 billion figure is not one that
Congress can act on. One says the Presi
dent is actually asking for 8106.4 billion,
oofopared with the 8101.3 billion budget
enacted by Congress last year. And, even
by our own arithmetic, we can tell this is
86 billion more than last time—rather than
a little less. And another student of such
matters says the new budget will actually
run about 8110 billion.
As usual, it will be a long time before
we know what is really called for in public
expenditures for the next fiscal year. But,
if “forewarned is forearmed” as they used
to say in Grandpa’s time, the experts now
searching the budget for its booby-traps
should be able to throw some needed light
into the murky area of the anticipated cost
of government.
Or perhaps we should call it the down
payment on the “Great Society.”
Writing on the subject of urban renew
al, Waahington correepoedent Patrick Fox
says: “A Harvard Ph. D. studied the pro
gram and discovered that far more people
have lost homes than gained them through
urban renewal, because the program de
stroys far more dwellings than it creates.
He discovered that the claim that urban
renewal increases tax revenues certainly
hasn’t been borne out in the short run, be
cause urban renewal projects take ten or a
dozen years to complete, and no taxes at all
get paid ordinarily during that period.”

We Can Profit
The Christmas floods which caused
havoc in the Far West revealed that self-
reliant citizens who haven’t forgotten the
pioneering tradition still Hve in remote
Red Cross field men used helicopters to
conduct a thorough check of devastated re
gions. They found that victims of flood
and storm who were totally cut off from
the outside world were making the best of
things and using their wits, muscles and
own resources to meet the crisis. The As
sociated Press reported that a field man in
the Eureka, California, disaster area was
asked whet emergency aid was needed; a
typical reply was “We don’t have much,
but it’e enough.”
Those of us who almost automatically
turn helplessly to some outside agency
when trouble strikes can profit from ex
amples such as this. The old spirit of in
dependence and courage in the face of ad
versity still exists.
The '“Indifferent Man"
Are we approaching the age at the “In
different Man”?
President Carey of the Chamber of
Commerce of the United States fears ws
may he. The “Indifferent Man,” in his
view, is tbs sort of individual who finds it
safer to “withdraw into the crowd, to sur
render his identity, to yield to remote au
thority the individual responsibility which

Babson’t Point of View On:
Selling As A Career
Babson Parti, Mass., February 11—Why do so
many people reject salesmanship as a career?
When high school students and college under
graduates are asked what they plan to make
their life’s work, almost without fail only the
smallest percentage mention selling. Why does
this unthinking attitude on the part of the public
persist?
WHY THE UNPOPULAR IMAGE?
It seems that the old call, "There’s a sales
man at the door!” is what many pople think of
as the only thing selling represents. Of course
there are door-to-door salesmen doing an impor
tant job and doing it well. But these comprise
perhaps 2% of the total sales force in this coun
try. The other 08% are engaged in selling ma
terials, services, and advertising to the millions
of retailers and corporations that make up the*
backlog of the nation’s business.
As in any trade, there are occasional get-rich-
quick artists out to make a fast buck. They don’t
know that real—and lasting—salesmanship de
mands getting close to clients and giving them
better service than any rival is willifig to pro
vide. So, if sudfe high-pressure fellows are here
today, they are gone tomorrow. And they certain
ly do not reflect the true and great value of sales
manship. You will even find similar fly-by-^
nights in Congress, in labor unions, and yes, in
the professions! But you don’t "down” an entire
vocation because of these unhappy exceptions.
SALESMEN KEY TO OUR ECONOMY
4 Those who look dubiously at the’ selling pro
fession are obviously unaware of the enormous
importance of the salesman to our economic
complex. Our manufacturers have learned how
to-turn out not only all the military and aero
space material we need but also all the consum
er products that we can possibly use. Business
is always afraid of the bogey of overproduction,
especially with our efficient and automated
khow-hoir/ Here is where the salesmen collie
in, creating and satisfying new needs all along
the way, working hand in glove with both pro
duction and promotion officials.
How could anyone think that such a job is less
honorable, less inspiring, than other occupa
tions? Young men with clear vision and high
ambition should certainly consider selling as a
most desirable pursuit. There Is, In addition, a
special appeal in the fact that a salesman’s
earnings will be in direct proportion to his own
hard work and his real ability.
STRONG INCENTIVES IN SELLING
A genuine salesman gets a wallop out of his
job because he recognizes that his efforts result
in a higher standard of living. If only a thou
sand customers buy a product with no special
sales pressure or advertising the price of the ar
ticle may have to be set at 810 in order to en
sure a company profit. But with well-organized
sales and promotion programs, mass production
may be able to drop the price of the product to
as little as 82.
A lazy man would understandably seek a less
demanding job. A salesman must have a real
missionary spirit, with plenty of honesty, cou
rage, energy, Imagination, and firmness. He
must have strong but courteous persistence,
plus remarkable adaptability. He must realize
that he win often have to face frustrating dr.
cumstances. His work must be planned out, of
ten under great pressure. A succeeful salesman
cannot be a clock watcher; he will wish, in fact,
that Ms working day were even longer then it to.
OPPORTUNITIES UNLIMITED
Starter Jobe are numerous: Retail merchan
diser, manufacturer’s representative, wholesale
salesman, specialty salesman, marketing engin
eer, and product service man—these are a few
of them. A high-spirited young fellow will prefer
to work on commlsstoov thus leaving it up to him
self whether he makes $» a" week or $100. His
chances are what he makes them, and he will be
helping our economy.

Hearse —
The Romans called a triangular frame with spikes
which they used to break up plowed ground, “hir-
pex,” a harrow. The word entered Old French as
“herce.”
Theife was a triangular framework used to hold
candles at church services. Its shape and the project
ing candles gave the appearance of a harrow turned
upside down. Because of the resemblance, the can
dle-holding device was called a “herce.”
It became customary to erect a “herce” over the
coffin before funeral services. Eventually the spell
ing of the word was changed to “herse.” The frame
work became more elaborate, and was covered by a
canopy.
“Herse” passed into English without immediate
change. Later the spelling was changed to “hearse,”
and the name was applied to a vehicle that hauls the
dead.

There usually is not very much
said about the girto’ basketball
team each year, but we think it
is time to mention them.
As Coach Marian Ramage said
recently, "The girls are the only
ones who win, so why don’t you
say something about them?”
The girls’ team at CHS has
had a fairly good season this
year, having won 10 of their 14
games. The Devilettes hare tak
