Babson Discusses Jobs
For Servicemen
Babson Park, Mass., Jan. 7—
Let me start 1954 by writing to
the many servicemen’s wives. So
many are wondering what their
husbands are to do after dis-
charge. Certainly, don’t wait un-
til your man gets back before you
and he discuss the future. Why
not devote to this subject your
very next letter to him enclosing
this message from me.
Former Employers Will
Be Helpful
If your husb’and had a job
when he was drafted, the chances
are that his former employer will
be proud to take him back. I won-
der, however, if your husband
will be content to be a mere cog
in a big wheel again after he
returns?, Men differ. Some are
born to work for others and will
be happier doing so; while some
men will do better in a little bus-
iness by themselves. Some prefer
large cities, while others like
small cities and towns. Don’t try
to make your soldier boy over in-
to someone else. Try to find out
what he likes best, for what he is
best fitted—and then help him
make good.
Opportunities Everywhere
Opportunities exist today which
may not exist a year or more
hence. I see them everywhere—
vacant stores, closed real estate
offices, run-down garages, vac-
ant gas stations, etc. As an illus-
tration, consider the closed auto-
mobile sales agencies. To buy
one of these now, properly locat-
ed, where a family can live on the
property, may be like finding
money.
/Small stores and lunchrooms,
where the owner can live upstairs
or adjoining, are now for sale
cheap. They will be in demand
again some day. No one will get
rich in such a place; but it gives
independence and assures work to
all the family. The same applies
to scores of little businesses, from
barber shops to repair shops of all
kinds. There will always be good
opportunities for anyone who
knows more about any one thing
than anyone else in his neighbor-
hood.
Parking Land is
Good Insurance
I think that a piece of land
will appeal to many returning sol-
diers. Incidentally, the best buy
in every community is that adjoin-
ing or near a parking lot. If you
and your husband came from a
farm and want to go back to the
same home farm, this is wonder-
ful. However, unless you know
farming, you had better be con-
tent with an acre of good land lo-
cated near schools,- stores, and a
church. Latest scientific agricul-
tural experiments indicate that
you can feed your family on a
very small plot, provided your
husband has some “job on the
side” to get spending money.
Have you read my recent column
on “New Inventions and New
Liscoveries"? Those contemplat-
ing land for Iarming should buy
adjoining a State or U. S. Agri-
cultural Experiment Station.
Buy Merchandise And
Bank Stocks
in almost every community
there are several “chain stores.”
They may pe grocery chains, or
variety chains, such as the “5
cents to 5 dollars” kind. Ask
your local banker to tell you
which of these in your town has
its stock listed on the New York ।
Stock Exchange. Buy a few
shares. This might even help
your husband in getting a , job
with one of these growing mer-
chandising concerns.
Perhaps before buying a chain
store stock, it would be well to
buy a few shares of stock in your
local bank. Banks are doing well
right now, and it may help your
husband get started right to have
a few shares of local bank stock
and to know the men who run the
bank.
Parents Should Help More
Soldiers who have been over-
seas are coming home with bet-
ter ideas than when they left.
Many are realizing that the only
things worthwhile for a family or
a nation are: (1) good land; (2)
good babies; (3) good education;
and (4) good character.
I trust that fathers and mothers
as well as wives and sweethearts,
will encourage these sensible
ideas. Parents, especially, should
help their young people get start-
ed right when they return. But
begin to plan if or them NOW;
remember, “shrouds don’t have
pockets.”
