Sent to School Ability and Responsibility TX7HEN a particularly tough and important job come« ) * * along, it ueually land« in the lap of eomeone who la already doing a lot of other jobs well. People like thia—who are used to getting results—aren’t too plentiful. They need to have both ability and a sense of rasfontibilily. One atone won’t do—for ability can sometime« be misdirected, and a sense of responsibility without ability can lead to troublesome meddling. It’s men with this combination of talents who have been carrying a heavy load on the home front these past few years. On the farm and in industry they’ve been meeting—and solving—the difficult wartime problems of production. After the war is won, somebody must shoulder the equally big job of getting this nation back into peacetime production, of laying the groundwork for the better and more prosperous America we all want. This is a challenge, and an opportunity,’ for the producers of America—for the men and women who have a sense of responsibility and have shown their ability to get things done.
