LET THERE
be LIGHT-
they SAY
MIGHT
makes right
By Clayton Rand
Often the success of a going •
concern hangs more on a good *
salesman than anything else— *
every business needs salesmen. ‘
A salesman with personality— *
one whom people really like, is
worth his weight in gold. The
greatest asset some stores have *
is not their merchandise, but the *
attractive women who sell it, *
who smile and strive to please *
cranky customers.
ADVERTISING IS REALLY *
JUST PRINTED SALESMAN- *
SHIP THROUGH WHICH *
MERCHANDISE IS DISPLAY- *
ED BY WORD OR PICTURE. *
•
It may take some imagination to *
see it, but a merchant who neg- *
lects to advertise his wares in *
his local newspaper would be *
about as foolish did he put no *
clerks behind his counters. *

Owls to Play

O. H. MILLER SPECIALS
From The Owl.
The Hondo Owls, winners of the
north zone of District 37-A, will play
the Pearsall Mavericks, winners of
the south zone, for the District
Championship on Barry Field in
Hondo, Friday at 2:30 P. M. The
Mavericks will go into the game un-
defeated in any of its games so far
this year; the Owls will start the
game with one defeat against them.
They were defeated by Pearsall ear-
lier in the season by a score of 6-0,
but according to the scores of the
two teams in games for the season
the game will be one of the high-
lights of the season. Both of the
teams have done some high scoring ,
this season and have had but very
few points scored against them. This
means that both teams have good
offensives and defensives to help
them to victory. The Owls have
scored 221 points against IP for the
opponents. The Pearsall Mavericks
have a well balanced team both in
the backfield and on the line, posses-
sing a very good running and passing
attack. They run from the single
wing back and punt formations. The
Owls’ lineup will be changed some-
what from that which met Pearsall

ordered the Anvil Herald Pl,n’ formation*. The Maverick* will
the Devine Warhorses by 6-0 while
the Owls took them by 33-6; and the
Mavericks beat Uvalde 32-7, while
the Owls took the Coyotes 32-0.
The winner of this game will play
the winner of the Victoria-Kennedy
game, which is the Championship
game of District 388-A.
A large crowd is expected to see
of the trophy by virtue
it three times. If the Mavericks win
they will get the trophy for the sec-
ond time. The Owls have had
it twice and the Mavericks once since
it was put out three years ago.

Let u* b* your Jufc PRINTER!
Indistry-employe relations involve
far more than questions of wages
hours and working conditions. They
involve far more than a bare contro-
versy over the “open” versus-
“closed” shop. These are issues, true
enough, but wholly minor, except in
sozar as they touch upon the real
issue which we all, worker and em
ployer alike, face today; the issue of
whether an industrial America can
remain an America of individuals
(without class and regardless of creed.
’ Unfortunately this real issue has be
come clouded. We have been so busy
looking at the trees that we have lost
sight of the immensity of the forest.
H. H. Swift, head of one of the
country’s largest enterprises, recent-
ly listed five points that the worker
is most interested in: “First, to be
considered as an individual. Second,
to feel that he has a dignified and
secure part in a worthwhile enter-
prise. Third, an opportunity to think,
and at all times to express himself,
about things that are going on about
him, and to do so without creating
resentment. Fourth, a good pay
check; that is, the going wage, not
feeling that he is working for less
than he is worth—nor less than hi*
fellow men in equivalent work and
of the same ability. Fifth, the privi-
lege of being let alone to live his own
life.”
Even in the most rigid totalitarian
economies, the worker gets paid. H<
has a job. He has security, at a price
But he has lost every last vestige o'
control over what he is to be paid. C
how long or at what he is to work
More, he has lost irrevocably th
privilege of being an individual. H
is part of a vast machine.
This country is a land of individ
uals, of rugged individualism. Thi
only justification for the labor unioi
is to advance the cause of the in
dividual, not to crush him into r
common mold. The great problem of
industry, as Mr. Swift so aptly point
ed out, is the problem of the individ
ual and of how to guarantee him p
future as an individual. Unless w<
can do more than offer him paternal
ized security, which destroys hi
right to live his own life, we hav
lost the “faith that is America."—

POOR FIRE DEFENSE COSTLY
j -
One of the commonest methods
used by communities to determine
just how adequate their fire protec
tion and fighting facilities are, is t'
compare their per capita losses wit!
those of other towns. And that i.
also one of the poorest methods. A
a recent bulletin of the Nations
Board of Fire Underwriters said
“Per capita fire losses, to those wh
have analized the subject, are :
meaningless compilation of figure
and prove nothing.”
The reason for that is clea
enough. There is a certain amoun
of luck involved when it comes t
any community's fire experience. I
it gets the breaks, it may go to
years with very low losses, even
though its fire protection is fa
from adequate, and its building cod
obsolete. And, conversely, a tow
.sith good fire protection, because ev
a series of misfortunes, may ex per
ern e extremely high losses for a coi
siderable length of time.
There is also grave danger in us
ing capital fin- Ion* figures as an ar
biter of a community's fire defense
If losses are low for a length of time
some will urge that fire departmen
expenditures be sharply curtailed
And thus the groundwork for dlaa*
ter ia laid.
The only true measure of an1
town'* fin* protection is whether o
oot il ha* the beat that can be oil
