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!"

Demand for stocks was based
on i bright outlook for the post
