ON JOB EFFORTS President Truman officially opened National Business Wom en's Week today with a state ment to Miss Margaret A. Hickey of St. Louis, Mo., pres ident of the National Federation of Business and Professional Women's Clubs, Inc. "The theme 'Jobs Enough to Go Round' which will emphasize the group discussions this year in the annual observance of Na tional Business Women's Week is most timely, the president said. "I hope that the forthcom ing conferences will be fruitful of wise counsels and will de velop many suggestions to make full employment a reality. "Full employment means work opportunity for every man or woman who wants to work. This opportunity is necessary to the continued progress of our nation. Without work there is no wealth; for wealth is the result of ap plied labor. Work likewise is essential to the full development of our individual citizens. We can store machinery carefully away; we can leave untapped for future use vast stores of na tural resources. But we cannot store away or leave untapped the skills and talents of human beings. Every day lost in en forced idleness is an opportunity lost, a talent diminished, produc tion gone forever. "Our democratic system has succeeded because it is the best method yet devised for permit ting a man to develop fully his own individual talents. Its future progress will rest upon the degree to which we Amer icans continue to have the op portunity for profitable, produc tive employment." They chew some mighty big bites long had he loved to fish. Long had he known how other men love to fish. That's how it came about that a man whose business is selling paper for a paper house began sending fish ing kits to the South Pacific. You see, he wanted to make some personal contribution to the war. He figured his fellow anglers would appreciate hard-to-get fishing equipment none the less because they were in uniform and far from their fa vorite streams. Well, sir, he hit a jack pot. Soon his garage was a shop. He drafted his neighbors as a staff. His home life vanished be cause he was always out pro moting interest at lodge, be-1 fore service clubs, anywhere. When he should have been sleeping he was battling red tape to get wire for hooks and cord for line. Result: 32,000 fishing kits have gone their way. Similarly, a busy manufac turer's agent finds there are no longer enough hours in the day. All because he once thought he would gather up a few discard ed games and send them to hos pital and recreational units. At last reports he had forwarded some 20,000 games. These men are typical of patriotic Americans whose numbers run into thousands. You never hear of them. Even though the war is over, they still work constantly and anony mously in the interests of our service men. In many cases the popularity of an idea makes it seem they've bitten off more than they can possibly chew. Yet they simply do not stop. They keep on giving their time. They keen putting up their own money. Some manage single handed. Others wangle help. But they keep on doing a job, for the need is still great! To them we'd like to pay a tribute. We'd like to say "Good for you!" f ft. 4 lWld to Htmfi lafWr Mm Milii iiiitr 'x" OBITUARY NEMO E. B. TUCKER Nemo E. B.
