There is, however, a "Profit and Loss System," a system with which we are all familiar-- one that entails both an opportunity for profit and a chance of loss. Men engage in business primarily is the hope of making a profit but unforunately their hopes are not always realised and often there is a loss instead.

Since Jhat infamous Sunday morning, how- ;i»w, aH Americans have but one idea fpptrmost in their minds, to beat the jjyds, America's men and women immihere in the past to avoid perand cruelty such as that in Axis lands today, and they far. FroAt represeats that part con talk«tad.by human imagination, plan ^1, aUB and hard work.

Capital does not take all of its 14c in cam Jit Mends because a portion of it is set aside to build new plants and buy extra machinery so that more people can be employed, while another portion is set aside as rainy day insurance in order that business can be carried on and people employed during unprofitable periods of operation. After these wise precautions are taken, the balance of the 14c is paid 8S.49 stockholders in cash dividends. tThis really is rent on the savings of 26.99' those who becattse of special ability, | hard work and self-denial have made 3j0j savings over and above their subsistence requirements. There is no guarantee that these savings will earn a profit--in fact there is no assurance that the investor will not lose all or part of his savings. It is all very speculative under Free Enterprise. That is our quarrel with planned economics--under them everybody is supposed to win all of the time -- this just can't be done. The history of American business shows that the failures greatly exceed the successes, that there is more than an even chance the investor will lose all or part when he invests his savings. Even if the investor does make a profit on his invested savings, at best, it will amount to only a small annual return on his invested savings, over and against which 4ie takes the rjsk of losing 100<7r of his investment. At the race track, a gambler betting on a horse at even money, really takes no more risk of losing his entire bet and stands to make a quick profit of 1009c plus a quick return of his entire investment. Please do not infer that we are holding any brief for betting on horses, or that we consider business is gambling. Nevertheless investing one's savings in a business venture is risky, and men and women must have reasonable assurance of a profit commensurate with the ri^k involved, in order to induce them to invest their savings. The advocates of the various socialistic systems loudly decry the huge profits made under what they erroneously term the "Profit System." They pick out the few isolated instances where big profits have been made and say nothing of the much more numerous small profits. They are very mum about th.^ losses and completely tongue-tied regarding the big losses. Zealous crusaders for impractical reforms are ever prone to paint only one side of the picture--they only cite one part of the facts. This brings us back to what we said at the outset--there is no such thing as a "Profit System." TTiat is a misnomer, just as inaccurate as referring to the dual personality of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde by -only one of the names. The right name of this splendid system is "The Profit and Loss System." In mlsrsmine it. we lend encouragement to its defam«»r* -- those critics who either are sublimely ignorant about losses or an not fair enough to mention them. v." v *.! t .

Last week the Johnsburg Community club held its first meeting of the year and the newly elected officers conducted the business of the evening. Following is a report of the meeting: Let us ' come fee order so we can start our meeting. I ask Father Neidert to offer a prayer and after that remain standing and we will sing the first verse of "My Country Tie of Thee." f ^ I wish to thank the members for electing me as their president of the club. I will do my very best; if I make a mistake I will be only too glad to apologise. I also wish to thank the past presidents for all they have done. I think they have done a wonderful job. I also wish to thank Fatter Neldert for the wonderful spacchis he has given. I am sure everybody enjoyed them. I also have a short message to read. I ask the Vice-president, Mr. Huemann. to take the ehair. Read* ina of message: Mr. Chairman, Father Neidert, and fellow members. In taking over the office as president of the-Community club, I realise the great responsibility and the seriousness of affairs since war has -been declared on is by the Japanese and others who had proven themselves traitors and bad enemies. Having bit the hand that fed them, 1 therefore wish to outline my policy for the ensuing year. No. 1--That we go on record now at this meeting, co operating one hundred per cent with our leader-in-chief, the President; No. 2--That we do as we did in the last war, buy bonds as our purse will permit; No. 8--That we suoport the Red Cross and Salvation Army; No. 4--We have shown our gratitude for, and feel proud of the liberal contribution of funds taken up at our last meeting for our boys in camp. May they all come home victorious, the sooner the better and hope it will not necessitate the entire present draft to do the job; No. 6--Also remain true to your church, for without religion there can be no victory, and victory we shall have: And as a reminder, we should have the Stars and Stripes in our hall at all times (also service flag) for long shall they wave! Who felt more proud than w« did when the American Legion from McHenry raised Old Glory to the top of our fine flag pole over a year ago? It was the praise of our citizens all over the county. They felt proud of Johnsburg as they will in the future for our loyalty, all of which I recommend for your consideration and a successful new year for Johnsburg and the entire UvS. A. -- Yours truly. Fred J. Smith, President. Vice-president puts the message to organization for vote. Carried. The president resumes the chair. The first order of business will be the reading of the minutes of the last meeting including the report of the treasurer.
