Baldwin, President o f B A L D W IN S A N I T A T I O N i w r - i« .. x o r Mr ™ x : 'X . 'd ” M r. Baldwin’s ideas were based upon H O N E S T Y , S IM P L IC IT Y , and H A R D W O R K and on this base he built B A L D W IN ’S S A N IT A T IO N , IN C . The point I wish to make is that I believe that most young men and women living today have a better opportunity than those who were born during the time M r. Baldwin was born, and further, most young people living today have access to more money and freedom, than those back when M r. Baldwin was born. I dare to say that more young people were more constructive, back when M r. Baldwin was born; and today it seems that more young people are more destructive and disruptive than constructive. It also appears that more young people are less Honest and more complicated, confused and downright lazy, than they were about forty years ago. I think N E E D was a motivating factor back then, and now W A N T is the motivating factor. N E E D brings out H O N E S T Y , S IM P L IC IT Y and H A R D P R O D U C T IV E W O R K . W A N T is very superficial and only brings out S H U C K IN O A N D J IV IN G L Y IN G . S T O R IE S O F C O M P L IC A T IO N S .
