WORK
The technical definition of work
is "the accomplishment of motion
or its equivalent against a resting
force." Work then is anything that
we accomplish against any iesist_
ing force or means of motion due
to expended energy.
The results of our work are di-
rectly proportioned by the amount
of motion or energy we exert.
Therefore, whether it be mental or
physical energy, our accomplish-
to ' ments are equal to the amount of
effort we are willing to put out. It
is often said, "We get out of a
project or thing what we are will-
ing to put into it."
The things in which we have the
maximum amount of interest will
receive from us the maximum a-
mount of our energy and effort. A
job half done only received half the
effort that could have been applied.
Every one of us sees people
around us doing a job half way—
just to get by. Then on the other

Arvada, Colorado: It seems in-
credible that immediate relief is
being asked for farmers of the
eastern plains area, who only a

that conservation of the bankroll

OUR economic debate has be-
come a running battle of ac-
cusations and finger-pointing with
the big unanswered question about
our busfhess outlook being black or
bright overshadowed by the battle
of the pot and the kettle.
On February 16, Rep. Herbert C.
Bonner (D. N. C.) put some findings
in the record, apparently from a
search of the 1949 Congressional
Record made by the Raleigh (N. C.)
News and Observer, edited by
Democratic National Committee-
man Jonathan Daniels. Here are
comments read into the record:
"Rep. Usher L. Bnrdick <R N. D.)
in a speech on the House Floor
Feb 21, 1949, said: 'Few soup lines
have yet shown up but it is now
apparent there will be plenty of
them within the next six months.
t
"Sen. George W. Malone (R.Nev.)
foresaw an equally dark future in
a speech on June 16 of that year:
'Several significant straws in the
wind are now pointing to a camel's
back that has reached the breaking
point.' warned Malone. 'The camel's
back is our employment, national,
security, and economic structure,
which will surely collapse . .
"Senator Homer Capehart (R.
Ind.): 'I say that business in
America is falling. Unemployment
is increasing. Anyone who can read
and write, anyone who can add,
knows that our national income
for the fiscal year ending June 30,
1950 is going to be smaller than
it will be for the fiscal year ending
June 30. 1949.\ . .
Rep. Bonner included in his re-
marks about what the Republicans
had said in 1949, a remark of his
own about the present debate:
"But the Republicans thought
they were performing a great serv-
ice by warning of a depression.
However, when the Democrats now
foresee economic troubles ahead,,
they are called 'left-wingers' andi
'political sadists.' "
Which could—or could not—have
led up to these remarks by Rep.
A. L. Miller (R. Nev.) on March 3:
"A hard core of Americans for
Democratic Action members and
other left-wing groups are talk-
ing of depression. These people fail
to interpret the great strength of
America. They are devoid of faith,
courage, and determination — the
three things that will keep America
great.
Scanning the Congressional. Rec-
ord of 1949, I can find no state-
ments of those who are now crying
depression. Unemployment, wages,
construction and buying power
were considerably lower then. It
appears that some are trying. tf>
nifike political fodder out of some-
thing which should be above politi-
cal haggling."
Not looking back to 1949 Is Sen1.
Wayne Morse ..(R. Ore.) -who :
claimed in a TV show on Feb 21
that soup lines were reappearing
in 1954. Two days later he repeated
in a Senate speech: "When 1 .talk
about soup lines increasing in
America—and I do talk about them
increasing in America—I point out
that every unemployment insur- ,
ance line jn Americ&'.is In effect a
soup line in fact .
In the midst of all these com- .
ments there are not enough facts
for the average citizen to determine
how well off—or how poor—the busi-
ness condition is and will be In
the days ahead.
