Friday,^ Aufiut 11, 1044 Postwar Jobs In The United States rainbows A bluebird's note fell on my ear, As 1 sat on a step in the Spring of the year,. A bright wooden step at the top of the row. At my feet lay the doll I had cherished so. Broken to bits in its gay calico. And the break in my heart grew wide with woe. But, the bluebird’s note changed the “world for me. As I looked upward the better to see This beautiful bird singing to me. Millions of rainbows appeared in my tears, Circling and crossing these little wet spheres— Lihing the i^hadows, clearing the blears, Making the world lovely though seen through tears. A plane’s soft purr falls on my ear As I sit on a step in the cold of the year. The lone bottom step, the last in the row. On the ground lie the dreams I have fostered so. Fluttering like papers from a portfolio; While the silver plane sings as it severs the blue. Unaware of a heart that it’s cutting, into. So, again I look Upward the better to see, A beauty that’s there though obscured from me— Glazed by the vision such closeness enspheres, I ask of Him who calms our fears, To take the clear crystal out of my tears And put back the rainbows of yesteryears. - - Alba Miller Wahl.

One possible solution might be for the customer to be actively conscious of the fact that there is a war going on and that he can’t expect peacetime service. A little more understanding and fewer complaints about things that can’t be helped might go a long way toward banishing “Don’t you know there’s a War on?” to the limbo it deserves.—The Sums ter Daily Item. 1 The posse might pretend that the rope is a wash necktie and that they’re trying it on Uval for ^ze. ’ / The editor of The Community News of Merchantsville, N. J., recently wrote an editorial which was thought-provoking, to say the least. “Who Lives Next Door—Or Are You the Fellow?” There is something in^ that sentence which Appeals to the imagination. Each one who reads it will follow through according to his own line of thought. Here is what it meant to us. Who lives next door? Is it the Murphys, the Smiths, the Slezaks, the Antonios, the Cohens, the Kozwalskis, the Sanchezs?. This is America, and it may be any one of them. But really it is you, too—for you are part of America, and America means men and women of all faiths, races, religions and colors, working side by side to make of this a better and a greater nation. This is a big world. Likewise we are a big country. Th<l world is built upon competition. So is our country. But fortunately, our country is so large—both mentally and phy sically—^that there is room for all of us, provided our motives are sincere. We, as Americans, do not want dictation from any group. Therefore we must not dictate to any one. Equally so is the fact that we must not be indifferent to the needs of any one. It was George Bernard Bhaw who said: “The worst sin toward our fellow creatures is not to hate them, but to be indifferent to them, that is the essence of inhumanily.” Who lives next door? Whose job is it to make the best of America? Hir or yours—^fpr to someone else you are the fellow next door. We cannot have a superior without an inferior—so the insecure try to manufacture inferiors upon whom to look down. You can get a pain in the neck from looking down as much as from craning up. Free men should look at each other—^for they are neighbors. Who lives next door? It is- you and me and every last Americah of us. We are neighbors all—and until and unless we assume a neighborly spirit of cooperation, we are not living up to the best that is America. What we need to do is to look around at our fellow- Americans drawn from every rank of .life, from ever nation, from every religion, and say: “Thank God for America— where we can all work together, fight together—and win together! Let’s get to it! Together nobody can beat us!” The telephone companies have long given a high place employes. They have also done much subtle and tactful work in an effort to pass along to the public the doctrine that po- Balwon Park.

To theee men I make the following auggea- tiona: A prominent magaxine which was eapecially intereated in dereloping national adrertiaing once employed me. The pnbllahera were eapecially deairoua for me to discorer aome product not now profitably marketed. After three montha of intenaiTe atudy I was forced to report that I was unable to find a single industry in which some concern, somewhere, was not already making miilions. This included everything from cradles to coffins. This is even more true today than it was at the time of this story. It shows that auccess depends upon the man rather tha.n industry in which be is engaged or the locality where he works. This is especially import ant for young men to remember in this new age when they expect every thing to be planned for them and when they will temporarily be seeking security rather than freedom. Opportunities are found everywhere for those with integrity, industry and the pioneering spirit This wiU be truer after the war than ever before although the temptation to “let George do if* will also be tar greater. Although the small businessman has a harder row to hoe than the big cor porations, yet there may be more op portunity tor the Individual with the small business man. This is probably What tha Readers JMgaatbaa-fn. -naiad in offering $26,000 in prises in its August issue. Tlie published answers to this inquiry will be very Interest Ing. The big business corporation has a momentum 'which carries it along through the power of organisation and money together with the ability to use national advertising profitably It is not so dependent upon the energy and imagination of any one individual. The small husiness man, however, is absolutely dependent for success upon a few exceptional men. Although as an investor I prefer to put my money into a large corporation, yet as a returning service man I would iseek to help some small business man. I understand that it is difficult to send a book to a service man unless you have a letter from him asking that it be sent. If you think your boy is wondering what he la to 4i> when be gets back, have him ask y<ou to send him a classified telephone directory for your city. These direc tories may be little gold mines for those who are willing to atudy them. When someone asks for my idea as for what he is best fitted, I give him a classified telephone directory ana suggest that he read it through as to headings while waiting in my office. This very often solves hla prqblei^ so that he does not need help fro^i me. There will be a great temptation after the war for returning soldiers to get into politics or labor unions or farmers’ leagues or something of the kind to "secure jtatice for the service man.” Some of these organ! xations may have been useful in the past, but those men will get on best in this postwar era who depend more on their God and themselves and less - -upon politics tions. May I add one more 'suggestion without being misunderstood? Many prayers are said in vain. American and German boys cannot expect will answer the prayers of both grou when they pray for victory American and German boys, however, can logically pray for peace and for guidance as to what they should do after peace comes. Hence, my flnid advice regarding postwar Jobs is th^ the family should take God into their conftdernce mWiff. try to'decide this or any other important questi^ alone. . ■khti Brookl3m Dodger Bsueball School Here Was a Success (Continued from first page) )ably nowhere are courtesy and consideration of others more to be desired than on party lines, many of which still are in use. Life on the party line is much happier for all concerned when the rules of courtesy are applied, for people naturally are considerate of those who show them consideration. Thus, if it is made a rule that “first come, first serv^,” without any cutting in by others, and if those on the line would avoid long-drawn-out “visits” of trival talk, when some other person needs the line, the favor would probably be returned when they themselves face an emerg ency.—^The State. high school and Junior legion teams. These in turn would offer a wealth of material to select a team for an adult league. Sisler strongly urged that arrange ments be made to install lights at the ball park another season, declaring that it would be the greatest stimu lant for the sport and would also offer a fine healthy form of enter tainment to the public. ‘‘If you can get the lights, you can support a good semi-pro ball club in Camden," he stated. “Of course,” he added, "you cannot do much toward a league program until after the war is over, but that shouldn’t be so long now.” Sister’s appreciation of the cooper ation and couftesies he met while in jOuBideQ .may mean muck to the Xu.-, ture of baseball in this city. With the conclusion of hostilities overseas, and the restoration of norm al activities in this country, the ma jor leagues, also AA clubs of the American Association and Interna tional leagues, be casting eyes south ward again for spring training loca tions. Camden had Syracuse, Harris burg and Toronto and would have bad the pleasure of continued asso ciation with Manager Burleigh Grimes and the Toronto team but for the edict of Judge Landis in banning training in the south. Frank H. Heath, local newspaper writer and sports promoter, who was instrumental in ‘bringing the Brook lyn baseball school to ()amden, ad mitted that it wasn’t the four days of school operation that aroused his interest and enthusiasm, but that he was looking ahead to the time when the big teams will be costing eyes toward the south. He states that he felt that with men like George Sisler, Wid Matthews, Clyde Sukeforth, Rex Bowen and others on the Brooklyn school roster coming into the com munity, they would carry away pleas ant memories and a feeling of ap preciation, if they were extended co operation and courtesy. All this, aooordlng to Mr. Heath, ■was forthcoming, as Mayor r, N. Mc- Corkle, members of the City Council, Supt. of Public Works James Raley, Coaches Pierce ahd Robinson of the Junior Legion team, Wiley Sheom and many others all went “all-out” to co operate. Mr. Heath has received letters of appreciation from the Brooklyn office of the Dodgers over the cooperation extended the Dodger representatives Kma the publicity given to the B£h^. program nnd for the fine park facilities provided. “Some day when the war is over and Brooklyn looks around for a spring training site for one of his farm teams, theyll think of Camden " Mid Mr. Heath.
