(UPI Telephoto) Old Image of Small Business Being Erased in Modern Times tBr HENRY J. BECHTOLD UPI Financial Editor New York (UPD - The old Image of small business as an bused doormat of Industrial giants is being erased thanks to national de- fense and space exploration. More than half of the funds Uncle Sam spends developing its ' BechtoM military strength ends up In the coffers "of firms employing less than 800 persons. And the National Aeronau tics and Space Administration has been allocating nearly nan of its project dollars to mall firms, including 16 per ,cent of Its prime contract ex penditures during the second half of 1960. jMore Than $7 Billion This trend toward more ex tensive utilization of . small business' capabilities was pointed up by the Department .of Defense revelation that a record $3,578,000,000 in sub contracts from large compa nies was awarded last year to small firms. X In addition, small business received another $4.44 billion In Defense Department prime 111 sick 7 S1W0 Ml After Yoa See Your Doctor, Bring Your Prescription To Us. Mdains DRUG CENTRE Thirfty Green Stamps 8 North Central SP 2-7113 contracts, pushing the grand total over the $7 billion mark for the fourth consecutive year. A number of congressional legislators are of the belief that subcontracting to small business in stipulated percent ages should be mandatory on government contracts. Meanwhile, the Small Busi ness Administration has serv ed effectively as a central point through which prime contractors and small subcon tractors can be brought to gether., - The SBA also is compiling an ever-growing inventory of the production and research and development capabilities of small firms. This operation has a two-fold purpose-to pro vide data for use in the event of defense mobilization and to enable the SBA . to call prime - contract, and subcon tract opportunities to the at tention of the listed firms. ' A prime example of this co-dependence of the large and small firms on each other cen General Electric missile and space vehicle department at Philadelphia. ' This GE department last year gave more than 73 per cent of its subcontracting or ders for material and service to firms employing less than ouu persons. And GE's center for ad vancement of missile and space technology selected 4,636 small businesses for sub contract jobs in 1980. The com panies were located in ' 45 states and were asked to vro- vide everything from lint-free used diapers for cleaning high- ly sensitive gauges and mon key food to radar tuners. Actually, the job of finding vendors who can come up with unique solutions to difficult problems is an art in itself. J. P. Benzie, manager of pur chasing, said that emphasis must be placed on firms that have high reliability and fast response time because pur chasing for high priority weapons and space projects is based on a "clock philosophy" rather than on the calendar system. Small Worlds Around Us By Lynn M. Watkins (Register and Tribune Syndicate 1961) He Tells About Termit Which Ones to Watch For Of the many kinds of ter mites, only one or two species give cause for worry the sub terranean and the dry wood termites. The ground-dweller lives in the earth but comes up out df it to eat wood; any wood that is in contact with the ground. I If the wood and the earth are some distance apart, the termite colony may construct ingenious little covered run ways to the nearest wood. They can't stand daylight or fresh air. They always in the dark. If termite Infestation is present, a close examination will reveal mud-tunnels which may be on the bare face of cement foundations or in cracks, but always on the In ner surface of the wan. a good place to look is under a porch. When the time ana tne temperature are just right, some of the termites win sprout wings and emerge in great swarms into the open air. This is the mating flight, POLIO U nor thing of the putt There is no reason to believe that you, your children, or babies, are any more immune to it now than yon ever wereif you do not have Salic vaccine shotsi It takes only a few minutes to get your shots. Arrange for them now. Call your family physician or Jocal health department for information. Young parents should be espe cially careful in protecting them selves and babies against POLIO. " . Start babies on their series of shots between the ages of 6 and S weeks. Don't delay another day. Arrange for your polio protection now! Don't take a chance-take your polio shots ..mi.k niMIe unrica In cotuxritJwi with Tin Mnrtlilnl Ceencll and tae Hswipepet Adwrtiilw EMOitlvn AstwHUon. POLIO is still active I Are YOU protected? and at times they will be so plentiful that their swarms are cloudlike, sometimes con tinuing for several days. Ants, Too The same temperature and timing arrangements also, may activate the ants to get in on the act and start their mating flighs. Both ants and termites may be swarming at the same time, but they do not mix. It will be ant swarm or a termite swarm. But they can't fool you, not for long. Pick one up, look at the little demon, paying par ticular attention to the waist; the part of the body that con nects the abdomen with the thorax. If the "connecting link" is slender and constrict ed, something like the wasp waist you've heard so much about, they are "flying ants." In both ants and termites, four wings are present, but in the ants the hind pair are smaller than the front pair, with distinct veins in the wing surface. The termites do not have a slender waist; the four wings are about eqaul in size and extend beyond the end of the body; there will be no veins present.. Gnaw on Furniture The dry wood termites are the babies that gnaw on fur niture, baseboards and ' pic ture frames, as well as hard wood floors. Tiny piles of fine sawdust on the baseboard or on the floor under the pic ture frame indicate the pres ence of termites. A careful ob servation will reveal tiny holes where they may have moved out to swarm. If the little pile of sawdust you discover is of uniform size and shape, like little pel lets, you probably have dry wood termites. If the pile is carefully heaped in a tiny mound on the baseboard or the rocker of the chair and is fine and powder-like, you are playing host to the powder-post bfttle. He and his rel atives can perforate your pic ture frames, or materially shorten the trip your favorite rocker can travel. p p p p p p p p p p p p p p p p p 0 p p p o p p p p p p p p p p p o o P in its FINAL WEEK Through the 7 V fl I Remodel'ng of Our.
