MAY . 8, 1930. THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGLON, D. C, THURSDAY, This is the nineteenth of a series of twenty-four articles designed to help young men and women find careers which appeal to them and for which they are fitted. Each article has been prepared by a I some one field. George B. Cor- tel: resident of the Consolidated Gas New York and a_director in many public utility corporations. He Dbegan his career as a private secretary. to Presidents McKinley and Roosevelt. first Secretary of the De- partment of Commerce, and later Post- master General and Secretary of the Treasury. HE gas and electric light and power utilities are, as is well He was secretar known, regulated industries. The rates they charge are controlled by public authority. They are permitted to earn no more than a fair return on the value of their property. As an offset to this, they usually en- Joy exclusive franchises within the ter- ritories they serve and are thus relieved of competition one with another. Nevertheless, a large and increasing | percentage of their business is competi- tive. Large-scale industrial uses are mainly of this character. Keeping in mind the distinctions be- | tween the utility business and other kinds of business, what do the utilities offer you young men about to choose your life work and what do they demand of you? They offer you a permanent business. So far as we can tell. both gas and electric service are here to stay. Every day new uses for them are found and all indications point”to their per- manency in our homes and industries They offer you a growing business. | Both gas and electric service show & | cntinuous growth over a period of | years. Indeed, the growth of the light | and power business has been one of the outstanding phenomena of the past decade. Taking the industries together, the capital invested in them today is not far from $13,000,000,000, and is increas- ing at the rate of a billion or more & year, Stable Business Offered. They offer you & stable business. It s not subject to sudden and violent fluctuations. Its income base is so broad and diversified that it is not affected seriously by depressions In particular in- dustries. They offer you a many-sided business. It performs all the functions of the manufacturer, transporter, wholesaler and retailer. It takes its products through the complete cycle of opera- tions from the coal pile to the con- sumer. Many and varied services are required in the process. Its customers are the entire public, and “service” i its watchword. Now, what do they demand of you? Much, of course, depends upon which department of the business you desire to enter. If it is one of the engineering departments, then you should have a sound theoretical training, preferahly in some technical school or college. If the accounting department, then you should know something of the princi- ples of accounting. If the sales depart- ment, you should know something of and be keenly interested in salesmai ship. And so on through the other di partments. e In whatever department you enter you will find yourself in the company of others who, like you, are striving to | advance themselves. If you are obser ing, you will soon see in what direc- you can better your chances of promotion. You will, for example, take advantage of such educational facilities as your company offers that will make you a more efficient employe. | You will cultivate an 1n¢1u1r1ng and | receptive mind and you will talk with older men who know the business and can give you helpful information and advice. You will read books and maga- | zines that deal with the utility indus-| tr and its problems. You will neglect | no opportunity for self-improvement. | Amusement and Recreation. ‘While permitting yourself a proper amount of amusement and recreation, you will not allow these or other out- | side interests to divert you from your main objective, which is to make a suc- cess of your job. One of your greatest assets is your health, and you will need to take particular care of it, for if it becomes impaired you are under & seri- ous hlndlcn]p. E You should not become discouraged if your advancement in the bestnnlng is not as rapid as you had hoped. You should remember that it is not the start of the race but the finish that counts, and that the higher executives of your company are as anxious that you should progress to the limit of your Choosing Your Career Light and Power Utilities Enjoy Exclusive Franchise, But Rates Are Controlled by Public Authority.

They much prefer to develop executive material within the ranks of the organization. Probably no other business has so many public contacts as the utllity Certainly none is more af- fected for good or {ll by public opin- ion. It cannot succeed without the good will of its customers. Success depends chiefly upon two factors: Rates and service. It should be the constant aim to lower the one and raise the other. To you young men to whom such a prospect of public service appeals the utility field offers ample scope for what- ever abilities &‘w possess, and it de- ‘mands of you that you shall truly repre- sent and embody the spirit of service for which every public utility should stand. If these canditions are met, you will have your full measure of material re- wards and personal satisfactions. ‘The next article of this series will appear tomorrow, being a discussion of shipping by Joseph E. Sheedy. (Copyright, 1930, by North American News- paper Alliance.) ——. CONVICTED OF MURDER Floridian Faces Death for Killing of Sheriff. BLOUNTSTOWN, Fla.,, May 8 (#).— J. T.
