Spotlight on Improving Business .... Nothing Gained By Buying Christmas Needs In Metropolitan Centers By ARCH BAUMGARTNER Publisher of THE MAIL-JOURNAL

Seventy per cent of the shoppers who perennially leave small cities to buy Christmas needs in distant metropolitan centers gain nothing in variety-or savings. Tins estimate, made from a study of markets in cities under 25,000. is < onsideretT conservative by some re•ta.iers The merchant may justly wonder why local citizen —perhap' liis own familyMravel 50 or 100 miles to buy Christmas gifts. Who is responsible for the recursapping of community wealth ’ Why is loyalty to the local cqmmuni- (> flagrantly void? The merchant who raises such questions should look first to himself. He may be responsible.

TfiE HOOSIER DAY

By FRANK A. WHITE SINCE OUR LANDSLIDE election I have listened to a lot of sad tales that our country has gone to the, i dogs. i A friend, who has enjoyed a small 3 but flourishing business, said he is - contemplating selling. He admitted his profits this year are the biggest -of any year he has operated. 11 Also that he had bought himself s a Cadillac and 1 his wife a Thunder- ; bird automobile. s There are too many good people in . America, the choicest piece of real ? estate on the face of the earth, to let ■ . rvihing very bad happen. As I listeirliKother dire forebod- . ings there come/to mind days when : . as a police reporter. I covered two . divorce courts and two city courts. As case after case involving adulter}’. ste. ’ing. and the whole roster of ■ crime was called, I had a tendency | to think everyone was a cheat. ' I Bu‘. walking from the bus down my | street at night I knew of only two | suspected crooks living there. All the ' rest were decent, law abiding citixens. So is America overall. , Tbei'v have Iveen times when I gat •he. idea Mrs is a nation es “soft- ' ies". I was with the armed forces of ’ itwo world war' Pale faced bank? /clerks and a miscellany of Ameri- ; cans wwe trained down like prize ; fighters. Thet- all became the fl I est fighting men on the face of the j I earth. .

I want to print a few good words ' for Uncle Sam.

and to help make their lives better. We have worked to sell other nations on the dignity of man. freedom of worship, press, and spoken word. We enjoy more of this freedom than people in the world outside the good old USA. We have trial by jury. We settle our disputes at the polls instead of with secret police and kangaroo courts. We battle to handle our surpluses while most of the peoples of the world go to bed hungry at night. We have the highest standard of living, the most consumer goods of any people in the world. We have been through the decades, the greatest exporters of ideas and inventions that bless mankind. A few . of these have been the airplane, telephone, development of radio and telephone. peacetime use of missiles and atomic energy, and thousands of others. I HAVE TRAVELED countries of Europe and the Far East on the other side of the world. We enjoy somejthing in this country something priceless It is security when we lie down to sleep at night. We give scarcely a j thought that some foe may overrun our perimeter or overthrow our gov-. eminent when darkness falls. , A favorite target is our State De- ' partment. I have had some contact with our counselor and ambassador ■ services abroad. When the chips are I down I bet on them. j I The. election didn’t all go to my ; , liking by any means.
