COMPETITION PAYS
Because new businesses are al-
ways starting up and growing, we
are constantly getting new blood
in our business world. Enterpris-
ing men are continually trying to
make profits by manufacturing
better or less costly goods, or by
giving new or better service to
customers.
That kind of competition is what
has given America the highest
standard of living in the world.

president to be inaugurated in

INSURANCE BENEFITS
How to keep up with the rising
cost of hospital care is a major
problem for insurance companies
which write accident, sickness, hos-
pital, medical, and surgical insur-
ance, it. is reported by Employers
Mutuals of Wausau, Wis.
Last year the premium volume
of companies writing these types
of insurance was some 15 per cent
over the record total of 1951.
“The more we all learn about
the nature and purpose of God and
our relation to Him, the nearer
we will come to a proper solution
of our problems. With the guiding
principles of religion as a back-
ground, employers and employees
should be able to work out any
problem that comes up in our day-
to-day affairs.”—Charles R. Sligh,
Jr.

HEALTH NOTES
AUSTIN, TEXAS—In speaking
about the food requirements of a
child enjoying maximum health,
Dr. Geo. W. Cox, State Health Of-
ficer, emphasized the importance of
a well rounded diet and stated that
a healthy and well nourished child
enjoys life because he is physically
fit.
Stressing the importance to
health of an adequate and well bal-
anced diet, Dr. Cox staled further
that when a child is in good health,
his appetite is good, elimination
regular and sleep is sound and un-
troubled.
“A child’s appearance can usual-
ly help parents to judge the state
of his nutrition. A well nourished
child has good skin color and there
is a moderate padding of fat over
the bones and muscles of the arms,
legs and body. Muscles are well de-
veloped and strong. Teeth are good
and the gums firm and pink,” Dr.
Cox said.
That finicky appetite or a tired
feeling after a little exertion indi-
cates a possible malnutrition and
the child should see the family
physician. Poor appetite can also
mean the beginning of an illness
and possibly that the child does not
require as much food as he is being
urged to eat.
Required as a diet for the pre-
school child and those of school
age, Dr. Cox included milk, fruit,
vegetables, eggs, meat, fish or
cheese, cereal and bread and added
that cod liver oil and other vitamin
preparations are important in win-
ter and early spring but should be
prescribed by the family physician.
AS TO FREEDOMS,
HERE’S ANOTHER
Among the other freedoms which
we enjoy in our land is the freedom
of men to experiment—perhaps to
fail at first but then to try again,
and thus build and develop busi-
nesses which make jobs.
People save money and invest it
in other people’s ideas. Scientific
research and machinery arc bought;
workers begin work. A small plant,
which may have begun in an in-
ventor’s basement or garage, be-
comes a big one. Profits are plowed
back into the business to increase
production, lower the sales price,
make still more jobs.
It’s one of the many freedoms
we Americans enjoy — but which
most of us just take for granted.
Socrates was often referred
as the "henpecked philosopher”.
Charles Goodyear was the first
to manufacture rubber overshoes.
