THREE MINUTES OUT OF A LIFE
Three minutes* in a lifetime is nothing. They
pasr in a flash, like the blinking of an eye. Yet in
threa minutes tremendous things, both good and bad,
can hr open. In three minutes a life can be made or
•broken, a city can be wiped out by an earthquake,
a who’3 nation can be plunged into joy or grief.
In three minutes, for instance, a man can be in-'
fect' d by a polio virus which may knock him flat on
this bark for the rest of his life. Or, in three minutes
he can get three polio shots of Salk vaccine—at 60
seconds per shot—and be saved from a lifetime of
crippling.
Over 65 million Americans have been wise
enough to get their polio shots. Some 46 million are
still Girting with disaster by neglecting to do so.
What’s more, if you’re one of those 46 million
unvaccinated Americans, you’re encouraging the out
break of new polio epidemics in your community.
Not till everybody has received his series of three
Salk shots will the dread plague of paralytic polio
be completely wiped out in this country.
Summertime is polio time. Now is the time to
start your polio vaccination. It’s painless. It’s in
expensive. Don’t take a chance—take your polio
shots tonight at the Federal Building between 7 and 10.
Wreckage of Small Plane

WHAT MAKES SUCCESS? *
What makes a business succeed? Is it luck, capi
tal, advertising, energy, integrity or some other qual
ity or resource?
The question is raised and answered as far as
20 great retailing institutions are concerned in a book,
“The Great Merchants.” by Tom Mahoney, published
not long ago by Harper & Brothers. All are famous
and successful.
As might be expected, they advertise. “All are
persistent and, in most cases, large advertisers,” says
the book. One of the 20 literally was created by a
classified newspaper advertisement. Richard War
ren Sears appealed for a watchmaker who could fur
nish his own tools and Alvah Curtis Roebuck answered.
The ability and willingness of these merchants
to borrow money in order to take advantage of
opportunities was another common trait - and one
that paid off 'handsomely.
Charles Lewis Tiffany borrowed $1,000 from his
father and started a jewelry store that became the
most famous in the world. Bank loans of $400 to
L. L. Bean of Maine and $300 to Mrs. Lane Bryant of
New York enabled them to launch the companies
bearing their names. When she died in 1951, Mrs.
Bryant left almost $2 million.
J. C. Penney began with $1,500 from a bank at
six per cent. Isaac Singer borrowed $40 to make his
first sewing machine. The man who put up the
money received $6,000 a year later and Singer left
an estate of $13 million. Frank-W. Woolworth start
ed with a credit of $350 and left an even bigger
estate. These successes show the importance of banks
in every community - in good times and bad.
Times have changed, products have changed,
our mode of living has changed since these success
stories were enacted. But human nature and the
attributes of courage, determination, ingenuity and
high principle have not. Right now, in this reces
sion, is a highly appropriate time for “The Great Mer
chants” to bring fresh inspiration and courage to
those who would follow them.
The Unknowns
Laid To Rest By
The Unknown Soldier
ARLINGTON, Va., UP — With
pomp and pageantry ended, The
Unknown Warriors of World War
II and Korea were at rest on a
hill overlooking the capitol of
the nation for which they died.
Under Friday’s warm sun, the
two Unknowns—representing all
the nameless dead of the most
recent warS-—were brought to'
the tomb where for almost 37
years The Unknown Soldier of
World War I has slept alone.
There were marching troops,
the subdued music of bands, ar
tillery salutes and a fly-over of
jets. Prayers were said, the
President of the United States
bestowed medals of honor on
the two, nameless Americans.
An estimated 115,000 persons
lined the route of the funeral
procession. Thousands more
packed the amphitheater at the
Arlington National Cemetery and
stood in tribute as the twin
bronze caskets were placed above
open crypts.
But at dusk Friday night there
was tjie final, lonely act of the
drama which opened weeks ago
when selection of The Unknowns
begaij across the seas.
In the gloaming, the two were
buried.
As the lights of Washington
twinkled on across the Potomac,
the nine body bearers filed onto
the plaza and drew to attention.
Behind them stood perhaps half
a hundred spectators.
In the dying light, the two
bronze coffins sank slowly into
the crypts flanking the tomb of
The Unknown Soldier.
