IT\ The vital problem that confronts every community t today is one of | selling It has always been one of selling—but in the past, probably importance, since most towns could get by on the rising market, ELLING A few years ago store keepers thought of their business as many now think of their community They thought because their store had been in existence for years it always would be; there were people, | and people had to buy w! store carried in stock. Then came auto- | mobiles and good roads mail delivery, radio, telephone and merch- ants. With the coming of these, “store keeper: “clerks” had to; | bacome merchants and sales people, or lose their business to those who. were ) B and ause for ages past comparatively no constructive attention has | been paid to community building, community pianning, selling and analy- sis, it is often considered as unnecessary. Many people reason that because there always have been cities, towns and villages, there always will be, the same as some retailers still think of their store as a supply depot where people who have a definite idea of what they want, will get it v\nhout invitation from them or encouragement or service from the You know what happens to “store keepers” who refuse to ke hants—who do not sell The same will happen to towns and wnities who take a like attitude. This is a Selling Age. There isn't a business, a profession, or a job "that doesn't require some form of selling. Every married man was a salc an when he induced “her” to say “yes.” And the wise married | man hasn’t quit selling! Every married woman sells—sometimes, and how! She has to, to make life bearable. The shebas and shicks are con- stantly selling. You and I are selling. We may not carry a sample case, we may not be behind the counter, but we are everlastingly selling | somcthing—an idea, our or perhaps a frlend. When you ask | for a raise, a day off. more credit, or any favor or courtesy, you are selling. Somicone d, “Selling is giving the other fellow a reason | why he should do what vou want him to do or not do, dand salesman- ship is getting him to do it.” Community Selling is getting other people to think your town is al est their money for a factory, a business, | merchandise or any of those things that mmunity salesmanship is doing those things it, and avoiding those things that will | better place in which to i1 an enterprise, for real c will materially benefit that will induce them to do | keep them from doing it i You are a salesman o You are working on a comn aleswoman for the place where you live. on ba: you get paid according to what | you do, and you will get p: nd generously. You do not have to own real estate, operate a store, be a professional man or in any business, to profit from community growth and expansion, but even if you didn't make a dime actual sh out of it, it is worth the efiort to enjoy better, more interesting and attractive surroundings, to have better schools, more parks, etc., which are bound to come as a result of sell- ing y community—not considering the satisfaction” you get out of doi something for the good of all—something that you know, you ought to do.

The Terri- | i tory, he added, has no old age psn- |slon system. It is purely and \simply an allowance for aged resi- dents who need financial assistance | and the right to obtain one rests| !in the main on need and no other | factor. The idea of all Legislatures pass- .ing on the matter, he said, has been |to provide funds for certain needy | ! aged residents, and it has put these funds into the hands of a board {to administer, leaving it within its i dit tion to give each applicant ‘lhn‘ amount which added to what | {he might be able to earn by his own | {efforts, would susfain him. '! The Ziegler boxing board bill, | |coming up for second reading today, was also continued on the calendar until tomorrow. Mr. Zicgler of- {fered two amendments to the bill |as reported by the Committee, one ifixing the headquarters of the board at Keichikan, and second seeking to give the rfiles and regulations | l(un force and effect of law. Opposi- !tion to the latter amendment head- led by Mr. Murray, developed. He |declared within the last 15 vears, | the giving of force and effect of | law to rules of various boards and |commissions had resulted in seri-| ous invasions of the rights of Amer- ican citizens throughout the coun-| (try, had brought about a highly ;ccntmllzed form of government, and | was one of the greatest public evils | today.
