Newspaper Page TextSin Is Still A Big Seller, Enterprising Writer Finds By Jane Oppy Are you looking for a job? (Who isn’t?) If so, where do you go? If your search depends on what you’ve heard on the TV and in the newspapers, it’s obvious that you do not go to: Southern Bell, Georgia Power Company, General Motors, the Dalton Carpet factories, Bibb Manufactur ing, etc., etc To good Southern church goers, the finger that points to where the jobs are is likely to be waggling in disappro val, but here are the facts: The boomers are the liquor business, the movies, the tobacco industry, Cadillac cars, fancy restaurants, swanky nightclubs, and other places to have a good time. Yup, now’s the time to open that little bar you’ve been thinking about. (Not in Butts County, of course. Seems there are ordinances.) So why are those folks working while the good yarn-pullers and automotive design engineers are out of work? Apparently somebody is buying Cadillacs, going to movies, and drinking a bit more than usual. But how can they afford it, when nobody has any money? That depends on your point of view. The finger-wagglers know, of course. “There’s more sin!” they say, with firm nods. “And more’re making money off of it!” Well, maybe. Sin has always been a profitable industry for a few.

Escape from one’s problems. And nearly every body’s got money problems. Take the movies, for instance. Though they’re neither bigger than ever nor better than ever, people are going to them. “Almost any kind of movie can make money now,” one producer stated recently to the Macon Telegraph’s Hol lywood correspondent, Bud get and quality are not very important. They cost more than ever 53.00 is the average ticket price for a first-run picture in Atlanta. But it’s a place to go to forget your troubles. So some people who have got money troubles are willing to spend some of what they haven't got to help them forget they haven’t got it. The states have taxed cigarettes and spirits (not the church-going kind) to the hilt and folks are still going after them. Why? Well, one city official of Richmond, Va., whose un employment rate is half the average of those of other comparably-sized U.S. cities, thought he had the answer. “Richmond’s biggest busi ness is tobacco,” he told the newscaster, “and people are more nervous than ever. The more nervous they are, the more cigarettes they smoke.” Alcohol, too, serves to lubricate the badly oiled machinery of the troubled organism.

And when there is nothing to bring home for supper maybe nothing to bring home, period there’s of ten a buddy who’ll stake you to one, especially if he wants company and hasn’t got any groceries, either. The arrow seems to point the other way where Cadil lacs, fancy restaurants, and nightclubs are concerned. Dealers in the big-time say they have the same clientele they have always had the haves, who still have it, and know 7 what they want to do with it. Surprisingly, or not, de pending upon your cynicism, they’re not rushing to buy gold bricks with it. Nor are they giving it away. They’re showing it off, that’s what. In the places where the shadows and candelabras best highlight velvet and diamonds, where the doorman knows your Cadillac and parks it for you. Waggle your fingers, folks, maybe they’ll pay someday. Right now, the Cadillac salesmen and doormen are employed and hopping.

The Declaration declares equal rights for women with respect to treatment, jobs, advancement, pension pro grams, and family allowan ces. The Declaration is not a law but a statement of what the United Nations believes. International Women’s Year is to call attention to the Declaration. Already results are being seen here and abroad in the educational and political fields in that universities are opening their doors to women for higher education, and women are being elected to offices never held before by women.
