We want them to return to their homes and to start life anew not somewhere else, but here at home. To be able to make an in telligent effort in this direction we want to know what the boys want and assure them that an ef fort is and will be made to ac complish just that." The address of every service boy from Baxter county is wanted in the immediate future. AVAILABLE ROOMS FOR SPORTSMEN MAY BE REGISTERED WITH C. OF C.

W. and be B. be to a Muses Lists Assets Available to Industry In This State. "If Arkansas won't build the state, who will!" was the challenge presented to a group of approximately 50 Baxter county farm and business men by C. Hamilton Moses, president of the Arkansas Economic Council who was host at a luncheon held Tuesday at the Morton Hotel.

Now as never before, it is the common man who can make or break a country, he declared, pointing out that we are in the midst of changes with new frontiers sought which will provide new conditions to meet the demand of these changes. Enumerating the assets of the state for industry Mr. Moses listed the basic raw materials available in quantities; the fortunate labor situation; the well located, plentiful supplies of fuel, transportation and power, and the markets. Mr. Moses showed that in a circle drawn around any Arkansas town, a radius of 250 miles would otfer a greater market than in a similar area surrounding New York City since half of the trade cricle lies within the Atlantic ocean.

But with tl.ese assets, he pointed to the condition necessary to success, asserting that a community's economic future in circumscribed, held down or lifted up, by the composite vision, faith and courage of its own citizens. Three and four years ago Uncle Sam pointed his finger at all the young men of the nation saying "I Need You," the speaker reminded, suggesting that now he is just as surely pointing that same finger at every civilian demanding he fulfill his obligations to the returning service men. Mr. Moses expressed his own hopes in the words he put in the mouth of the familiar figure of Uncle Sam: "It requires more courage to win the battles of peace than those of war you must do the same good job in peacetime, use the same effort, unison and courage as in war to bring about the same production." Economic readjustment is a job for small business, Mr. Moses said, citing statistics that big business does only 10 per cent of the total business in the United States, the biggest part being done by those firms employing one to one hundred persons, and 24 per cent of which is made up of businesses employing eight or under.

Ten small establishments set up I local people and financed from their capital are more worthy than one large concern operated by out-siders and foreign money, is Mr. Moses opinion. There is scarcely a small business that can't enlarge, improve and take on more men, Mr. Moses predicted, adding the warning that this can not just happen but must be planned for now. Fort Smith he traed as an example of intensive planning that will bring results in the re-employment of all their returning labor as well as 26 per cent more.

Arkansas was never in finer shape than now to take care of its own and stand on its own feet, Mr. Moses assured. In line with this ability, Mr. Moses spoke of the acts of the last legislature providing a budget of $230,000 a year to make an inventory of Ar kansas, with specialized men at the service of any community to help them with their problems. He spoke also of the $100,000 year ap propriated to the research division of the University in addition to the funds already given to them by the Rockefeller Foundation, business men, etc.

There are two ways of planning, and one or the other of them ii inevitable, the President of the Economic Council declared. One is the idealistic scheme of the spenders, planned from the stratosphere. The other he contrasted as being earthly and planned from the bottom up. 'X Mr. Moses visioned the opportunity that lies ahead in the reemployment of labor.

Never again in our time will there be 10,000,000 idle people, he affirmed. Big business is already looking to the future and is now trying to lead little business in the same direc tion, knowing that if business doesn't take over the problem, the government will. "It is far better," remarked the economist, "for business to do the job than to have the government do it and reach in the pockets of Louis Repps, president of the Springfield Chamber of Commerce, P. Keltner, chairman of Resources and Development Committee of Missouri and Dal Swyers, member of the Missouri legislature well known here, will be present for the regular meeting of the Chamber of Commerce which will held Friday night, May 4, in connection with a dinner to be served at the Home Econmica Cottage of the high school by the P. W.

Club. Reservations can made at the Chamber of Commerce office. Mr. Repps will speak on recreational development in the Ozarks and Mr. Keltner on post war activities in the Ozarks.

This is the first of several regular meetings scheduled when the Chamber of Commerce will present outstanding speakers. The dinner and meeting is open any citizen, whether they are members of the Chamber of Com merce or not. The Board of Directors in urging public spirited men and women to attend says: "Now is the time for us to tudy our own situation and build the foundation for future development. We have the possibilities of great future here, but it will take concerted action to get the job done at a time when it can accomplish most. Chamber oft Commerce plans do not benefit any one group.

Development will help every citizen of Baxter county but it will take every citizen's ef forts first to make that develop ment. We can get what we work for." Pfc. Dempsey Cowart Killed in Action In The Pacific Pfc. Dempsey Cowart, 25, has been reported killed in the Pac- fic, his parents, Mr. and Mrs.
