W elch) The question of em ploym ent w as m entioned a num ber of tim es in the O utlook's recent city b etterm en t cam paign. The m ere fact of noting these suggestions will probably not affect the em ploym ent situ atio n in the slig h test, nevertheless they are : in terestin g . The need is ap p aren t to all of an enlarged payroll in G resham . S tatistic s prove th a t localities w ith a good payroll flourish co rresp o n d ingly. T he in d u stries th a t a re now being ca rrie d on successfully here a re d istin ct assets to th e place. W ith th e increased shipping facili ties which have follow ed the devel opm ent of the au to tru ck and w ith tw o electric lines of freight railw ay located here, th e re is no reason why G resham cannot forge to th e front as an in d u stria l center. One person interview ed deplores the lack of em ploym ent for all in G re-ham . No doubt th is condition exists in every, subu rb an tow n as well as in th e large cities. A su g gestion given by a rep resen tativ e business m an of th e com m unity was “Aid the p roducer to get b et te r prices for farm p ro d u cts.” It would t(ike som ething m ore than p rin te r's ink and a feeble b rain to solve th e fa rm e r's problem . Gov ern m en tal pow ers have been busy for y ears p ast try in g to find a way out for the farm er. He m ay get good prices for his farm products, but high taxes, hired help and other overhead eat up th e profits. In th e hum ble opinion of the w riter the best solution would be th e re s to ra tion of the sta te income tax law. T his would help to equalize the burden now laid on th e farm er. G resham men should be given p referen ce in em ploym ent, says an o th er. From observation it would seem th a t th is condition prevails. As a rule, hom e men are given w ork before calling on th e outside. It w as a woman who told th e census en u m erato r th a t p references should be given single women over m arried ones in em ploying help. In o th e r w ords th e double wage e a rn er should not exist in the home as re la te s to husband and wife. To attack th is suggestion rem inds one of fools ru sh in g in w here angels fear to tread . Maybe one reason em ployers som etim es p refer m a r ried women is because they w ill not be as likely to leave them for some good looking chap via th e m a rriag e license bureau. The m a r ried woman in th e business w orld is w ith us and it looks as if she w ere h ere to stay. E lectrical a p p liances probably m ore th an oth er th in g s of equal value have m ade it possible for a w oman to atten d to th e du ties of th e home and a t the sam e tim e hold a position in th e in d u stria l world. Many circu m stan ces m ay ex ist w hich are not a p p a re n t to all why a w om an m u st become a w age earn er. R arely is it th e desire alone for em ploym ent. S ickness or o th er unforeseen events often m ake it n ecessary for th e wife to assist. Some em ployers prefer the service w hich m a tu re age or business ex perience bring. W hile it is tru e th a t o p p o rtu n ity alone will provide th e n ecessary experience, it Is equally tru e th a t th e re m ust be a co rn er in the w orld's g rea t w ork- shop for everybody and th a t real m erit never goes unrew arded. W hile the follow ing incident may be irre le v an t to the suggestion of fered, th e sto ry is told of a m an w alking the stree ts looking for work. He could find none and b it te rly b erated th e em ployer who had women engaged in a ce rtain de partm en t. The m a n u fa ctu re r took him a t his w ord and gave him a position. A fter trying in vain to qualify he w as forced to quit and also obliged to adm it th at he could not do th e w ork which w as being capably done by a woman. If G resham business houses can not give em ploym ent to all who w ish it, at least they can be frien d ly. Two of th e finest suggestions noted in th e recent survey w ere these, “ M utual cooperation in b u s iness and social life" and "F rie n d liness to stra n g e rs and a coo p era tive sp irit In business. C oopera tion is th e slogan of th e age. th e backbone of progress. C ooperative buying, and m ark etin g is th e aim of th e farm er and the m an u factu rer alike. If it w orks so well in the world of com m erce w here dollars are pitted a g a in st braw n, why will it not be equally effective in social circles?
