Babson Discusses Reserves
By Roger W. Babson
Babson Park, Fla., Feb. 15
(Special Correspondence) Too
many people are careless with
their money today, both In con
nection with Investing and
spending. Some "wise guys" are
even unnecessarily Borrowing
money with the idea of paying
up their mortgages with "phony
money when, as, and if inflation
becomes rampant. Such policies
are the biggest kind of gambling.
Small Businessmen
To Watch Reserres
Big business, which has had
experience in Germany, France
and other countries that have
really suffered from inflation,
will not get caught. It has learn
ed from sad experience the great
need of large reserves during an
Inflation period. In fact, as in
flation advances, every concern
should more than proportionally
Increase its reserves.
This especially applies to small
businessmen who have not ex
tensive credit facilities. They
now fail to realize that when
Inflation gets well under way it
will be very difficult to get
credit either from banks or from
wholesalers. As prices will then
be going up without notice, and
goods will be worth more than
money, wholesalers will give no
credits. All goods must be
bought on a strictly cash basis.
This means that everyone will
need more working capital than
at present.
Wage Workers Advised
To Lay Up Reserves
Wage workers also need to
lay up reserves during the next
two or three years as well as do
their employers. Systematically
aave a portion of your weekly
wages. Some day you will be
confronted with a lot of unem
ployment. Now Is the time for
you and your family to prepare
for It and lay a reserve aside In
bank accounts or Victory Bonds.
Don't be content to build up
only money reserves, when un
employment starts in again the
least efficient workers will be
let go first. Those who show the
most Interest In, and knowledge
of, their work will be kept and
promoted. Ask your bosrto rec
ommend iome trade paper to
which you can subscribe or some
correspondence course which
will help you. Store up knowl
edge In your head as well as
money in the bank.
More Capital For
Inventories Needed
serve. Non-perishable and stand
ard Inventories aye good reserves
to' have stored away.
During the troublesome years
that business will come day en
counter, other reserves than
money or merchandise 'will be
needed. Looking back over my
SO years In active business, I am
greatly impressed with the re
lationship between physical re
serves and business success. Un
known men who have the physl
cal reserves to take the gaff
rather than the "brilliant lead
ers" are the ones who survive
panics and depressions.
Spiritual Reserves
Are All-Important
I must say a word about all
important spiritual reserves,
There is an old saying: "Trou
bles never come singly." When
things are going well it is easy
to forget God and the Church
and Prayer. Then when troubles
come we complain because we
cannot quickly get that all-pow
erful help from Faith for which
we are so hungry. To enjoy
spiritual help in timo of trouble,
we must build it up In our daily
lives when things are going well
Before going to bed tonight read
in your Bible how Jesus ended
up His famous Sermon on the
Mount as told In Matthew, chap
ter 7, verses 24-29.
DELAY INCREASES
CANCER DEATHS
The average retailer now li
carrying only a portion of the
items normally carried. More
over, the supplies of these Items
re much less than normal. Put
ting these two factors together
It will be seen that much more
capital will be required to carry
normal Inventory as Inflation
progresses,
Certain big corporations now
have the reserves to weather the
Inflation storm; but this is not
so with the small merchant or
manufacturer. Many small stores
will some day be crowded out.
Thli will not be due to "bigness"
but because the large concerns
are now saving their profits and
are paying small dividends while
the little ones are pulling out all
their profits for their families to
spend foolishly.
Money In Bank
Is Oood Reserve
There are many ways for
small businessmen to store up
reserves. What I have said above
to wage workers applies also to
shopkeepers and little manufac
turers. Now is the time to spend
money and hours on study to
become more efficient In your
own line, Of course, money in
the bank Is always a good re-
Chicago, Feb. 15 (ll.R) Dr.
Morris Fishbeln, editor of the
American Medical association
Journal, said today that the num
ber of cancer deaths could be re
duced if people would overcome
their fear of the disease and seek
early medical treatment.
Writing in Hygela, AMA
health magazine, Fishbeln said
one of the greatest problems in
cancer control is the "difficulty
of getting the patient to seek
medical care soon enough to per
mit medicine to do for him all
that can be done."
'In many instances patients
frequently . delay because of
ignorance or fear in seeking
medical care," he said. "In some
Instances, of course, doctors fall
to carry out enough scientific
study to detect the presence of
cancer that la not easily detect
able.

"He said that after I had lived
with him for only six weeks,"
Mrs. Waters told Wlnant. "How
can I defend myself from 6,000

Mrs. William Miller broke
down and cried as she told the

The Junior group of the Jack
son County Public Health asso
ciation was reorganized as the
Medford Health unit Tuesday,
when the group met for lunch
eon at the Hotel Medford. Mrs,
Robert Sleeter was named chair
man of the unit and Mrs. Walter
Graff, secretary. Mrs. Sleeter
succeeds Mrs. John S. Day, re
tiring chairman of the Junior
group.
The first Friday in each month
was decided upon as regular
meeting day for the unit. Pre
ceding the election of officers
Mrs. Elwood Hedberg, president
of the Jackson County Public
Health association, thanked the
group for the outstanding work
done during the past year in the
chest X-ray project, for which
Mrs. Dwight Flndley was chair
man, and the annual seal sale
for which Mrs. Glenn A, Gib
bons was county chairman
Mrs. Day Chairman
Reappointment of Mrs. Day
as chairman of the cancer cam
paign, which will be carried on
in April, was also announced.
The group then voted to again
assist Mrs. Day in carrying on
the campaign throughout the
county.
A resume of the chest X-ray
project, conducted early in De
cember, was given by Mrs. Flnd
ley, who served as county chair
man of the drive through which
2800 residents of this county
were given free chest X-rays.
Six or seven early, active cases
of tuberculosis have been reveal
ed through these X-rays, Mrs.
Flndley stated. The survey is not
yet complete as all follow-up
pictures have not been reported
upon by the Portland readers,
These cases, she pointed out,
were previously unknown and
would probably not have been
discovered until in much more
advanced stages had the survey
not been conducted.
The enthusiastic reception giv
en the drive by Jackson county
citizens was praised by Mrs.
Flndley, who expressed the hope
that the mobile unit of the Ore
gon Tuberculosis association, will
return to Jackson county at an
earlier date this year than in
1945. Requests for the early re
turn of the unit with its efficient
staff of X-ray technicians have
come In from many sections of
the county, she stated.
