Try looking about yon for respectful and respectable youngsters Who live in otrf ccmmurtTtv. We admit they’re not as easy to spot as that other kind, one reason being that they go quickly about their business without trying, as does the beatnik va riety, to draw attention to tfiemselves. Also, they usually aren’t in bunches: twos and threes, sometimes, but not big nofey Bunches. Most of them are prob- *Bly at home at any given time doing yardwork or school homework, tinker ing with » jalopy, entertaining a friend or attending church, school or club functions. But if you look, you’ll eventually spot one somewhere during those hours when it's proper to be out and about. Perhaps someone on an errand, or work- ing part time, at a store or lunch count er. With just a little practice you’ll find them quite easy to spot. THE AMERICA* IE A Y Why Spend Taxes This Way A group of rural electric coopera tives are planning to build a power plant in southern Indiana. If this were only a local matter, it would be of no concern to anyone outside of Indiana. But it n far from a local matter. The federal government, through the Rural ElecfTf- fication Administration plans to grant a 2 per cent I'll million loan to the In diana group. The interest rate is far below the rate the government must pay on borrowed’ funds. All the na tion’s taxpyaers wifi make up the dif ference. This is not all of the story. The co ops have been purchasing energy from a publicly-regulated, heavily-taxed, in vestor-owned company, for which they have paid 96,312,000 a year. It is estimated that the cost of en- Babson’s Point of View On "Moonlighting” »y In The Job Picture By ROGER BAUSON Babson Park, Mass.. Mary 12—According to government figures for the most recent year* of record, some 5 per cent of all em ployed workers hare been holding more than one job. This is known in labor cir cles as “moonlighting,” a word that may perhaps still hold unpleasant implications such as taking jobs on the sly at sub-union rates, robbing the needy jobless of a chance to work. ROONtlGHTlNG NOW MORE RESPECTABLE Today, however, multiple job-holding seems often more a necessity than a sign of greed. AlmosUhalf of the moonlighters are family men between the ages of 25 and 44 ia need of additional income to raise their living standards. There are clear in dications that the typical moonlighter either does not make enough money at his regular employment to take care of his family as he wishes, or else he has only a part-time job as his chief source of income. An ex tra position is sometimes the only way out. There is another interesting angle that shows up in the government figures. Very few of the dual job-holders do their moon lighting in their base-job field. They are society, at the Unlvdrslftr South Carolina.
