Roger Babson Says
Choose 'Good Stock'
(By Roger Habson)
Special to The Chronicle
Children As Investments
Charleston. May 1. ? As today Is
Child's Health Day, I should like
to write of children as au Investment
and insurance. First, let me say that
I believe la standard life Insurance
us sold by strong companies. Parents,
however, should not depend
wholly upon such policies or even
upon stocks, bonds, or real .estate.
Their only sure protection Is a family
of healthy, Intelligent, aud Godfearing
children. j
God's Children
Talk about intrudes! Are there any
comparable with the conception of u
little child? 1 have in mind not the
tiny eyebrows, the perfect Anger
nulls, and these obvious things which
appeal to mothers?but rather the
child's marvelous unseen digestive,
circulatory, nervous and other systems.
Consider the power to see and
to hear?to taste and to smell! The
mechanisms, of the eye and brain
alone far excel any invention by man.
Think of the possibilities1 of the
brain of a little child. Realize its
ability for analysis, leadership, and
happiness. How It can devise ways
for the health, prosperity and peace
of mankind! There is no reason why
there should not be thousands of EdIsons,
Marconis and Fords?thousands
of Shakospeares, Dickenses and Long-1
fellows; thousands of Darwlns, Pas-1
teura and Klnstelns.
Good Breeding Essential
Of course, we must use common
sense.in breeding children Just as we
would use in breeding animals, trees
or plants. We must have good stock.
8ome people are not Atted for parenthood.
Hence, young people should
take care with whom they mate.
There is, however, enough good stock
to breed a constantly growing and
better race if the value of children
could be appreciated. By value I do
not mean something dreamy and
idealistic in the future. I refer to a
deAnite and concrete value in dollars
and centB.
But?and here Is the difficulty?
children are like farms, factories,
stores and every other business; they
will not grow or succeed by themselves.
Children need constant
thought and care. Children usually
will not be assets if treated as luxuries
or even if merely "loved." Children
should be looked upon as Invest-1
ments.*^An account should be kept'
of every dollar spent upon them and
they should be trained to repay many J
fold. If, therefore, we will give time
and thought to the training of our
children?as we give to our business
and pleasures?they are sure to return
marvelous dividends.
Nature's Plan
The first command in the Bible,vis
to ' multiply and replenish the earth."
Cntll recent years large families have
been synonomous with Christian
homes. The morality of the world
depends basically upon the proportion
of children which the better families
bring into the world. Statistics
as fo school houses,, church buildings,
college endowments, missionary gifts
and the like are largely window dressing.
Raising-* family of good children
is the first duty of men and women.
A realization of the above facts is
the great need of America today.
Money, pensions and social legislation
may soon be of little value tender
present declining birth rate tendencies.
Remember what is happening
to France and is perhaps happening
to England! Besides, the cycle of
life indicates that we are gradually
returning to that period when land
and children will again be our main
assets. Wise are those young people
who know how to anticipate coming
events by investing in and developing
nature's really sound investments.
Looking Ahead
Many are wondering what will happen
after World War II?to our economic
system, to our political traditions,
and to the church. We assume
that those now In control will decide
these questions. We forget that we
oldsters are gradually passing out of
the picture and that an entirely new
group will have unlimited power. The
answer lies with our children. What
are we doing to train them for these
coming responsibilities?
Our present American way of life
exists because of a certain balance of
power made up in right proportions
of employers and wage workers, educators
and students, church members
and "outsiders." conservatives and
radicals. The success of America lias
been due largely to the diversification
of these grftbps in proper proportions.
But what if these proportions
are upset? Such a misfortune
will occur unless the spiritual. Intellectual
and conservative families continue
to propagate at least as rapidly
as they have in the past and train*
their children in Christian cltlsenshlp.
Let every community havo a
budget for new babies from good
stock.
TRUSTY AUTOMATIC? Still one of the Army's moHt effective
weapons is the Browning automatic rifle. Like the old Springfield,
it is the infantryman's standby. This rifle embodies features upon
which no improvements have been made.
EQUIPPED FOR A RAID?Reconnaissance missions call for alert
Minds and sharp eyes. Hundreds of infantrymen are receiving
special instruction in this type of work to attain self-reliance and
ssnfid?os. They sarry side-arms instead of riles.

Three Objectives
In USO Campaign
(Continued from first page)
man's family shall suffer hardship if
it can be prevented. The society
gives immediate financial aid when
necessary after a navy man dies from
any cause; gives help in emergency
operations and medical treatment in
the family; provides continued aid
to the navy man's dependents who
need .care and helps in the education
of dependent young, giving them tho
right start in life. The nation is now
engaged In the greatest naval war in
its history and in one day at Pearl
Harbor more naval casualties were
inflicted than were suffered by the
navy during the Spanish-American
war and the World war combined.
Faced with the emergency caused by
this terrific toll and convinced that
the needs will be large and urgent
in future months, a national appeal
for funds is being made for the first
time in the history of the Navy. The
goal is $5,000,000.
The China relief program is being
conducted in order that China's most
urgent needs be met by funds rather
than by goods. The primary purpose
of the fund is to support and to extend
the efforts which the Chinese
people are making. Funds can be
gotten into China quickly and safely
through the Bank of China and the
Central Bank of China.
Every part of the United States?
east to west, Tillage to metropolis?
is participating In this United China
Relief campaign. It is a united expression
of American sympathy and
appreciation to those brave men and
women of Asia whose struggle in this
war is linked with our own American
destiny. Americans are urged to give
to the extent of their ability, to help
relieve the terrible suffering of the
Chinese people, our gallant Alllee and
friends.
