CAN WE ATTAIN HAPPINESS?
BY LEWIS LLEWELLYN
Those who seek happiness as their main goal in life are not likely to find it. Instead, they are
much more likely to be discontented, unhappy, or even miserable.
A recent report, Issued by the National Institute of Mental Health after a seven-year study,
indicates that successful and happy children most often come from homes where the parents feel
that It Is more Important that their children meet high standards than that they enjoy themselves.
ELUSIVE GOAL
This does not Imply that happiness is not desirable. Every normal person wants to be happy. But
it seems clear that happiness is more often found by those who are primarily seeking something
else. Those who set pleasure as their goal usually find that It eludes them.
God wants us to be happy. But many of us, rejecting His plan for us, seek happiness where it
cannot be found.
Actually, many of the things that people do In an effort to find happiness have the opposite ef
fect In the long run, although there may be a brief and transitory period of pleasure before the
unhappiness sets In.
It may come as a shock to some to learn that God really wants us to be happy.
The Bible declares, "In Thy presence Is fullness of Joy. At Thy right hand there are pleasures
forevermore.”
Jesus said to His disciples, on one occasion, "These things have I spoken unto you . . . that
your Joy might be full.”
If God wants us to be happy, and we desire happiness, why Is It that so many of us spend our
Ilves In a vain search for pleasure?
The answer Is tills: there Is within each of us something which cannot be satisfied apart from
God. We can smother It temporarily, we can attempt to Ignore It, but we cannot escape the fact
that this inner craving for peace with God must be satisfied or we cannot be happy.
INNER PEACE
When we are at peace with God and at peace with ourselves, we have laid the foundation for
true happiness.
All the frantic pleasure-seeking that we engage In — as a substitute for facing the real Issue —
only postpones the day of finding genuine happiness and peace within.
Do you want to be happy? Then try God’s way. It’s the way that multitudes of people have found to
be the way of life and peace — and lasting happiness.

Portable Classrooms
On Assembly Line
portable classrooms are now
coming oft the production line
of Holiday Manufacturing Co.
of Camden, Ark. These rooms
are the newest product of the
company which builds portable
motel rooms for its parent
company. Holiday Inns of A
merlca, Inc,; and others.
"We hope lb reaffh our ca
paclty of one two-room build
ing every eight hours within
a few weeks,” said E. B. Mc-
Cool, HIA senior vice presi
dent. "The prototype is already
In use, and we are producing
the rooms on an assembly
line basis.”
Mr. McCool pointed out that
each public school district has
federal funds alloted for por
table classroom buildings under
Title 1, Public Law 89-10.
"In engineering these rooms,
the problem was to design a
building that would withstand
relocation without extensive
damage," he said.
"We are certain that our build
ing can be moved an indefinite
number of times over long dis
tances without harm.”
Each two-room b”*’.ding will
measure 26x56 feet with an
eight-foot celling. The struc
ture can be divided into two
sections for over-the-hlghway
transportation.
“Holiday Manufacturing Co’s
portable classrooms are built
to much of the same standards
as the Holiday Inn Jr. units,”
McCool said. “The Junior Is
the only portable building that
we know of that has ever been
approved by the Southern Build
ing Code Congress.”
Mr. McCool said the building
was developed after consulting
officials of the Arkanas Depart
ment of Education and other
school planning Institutions.

Power Co. Battles
U.S. Electric Bank
The president of the Georgia
Power Co. presented testimony
to the House Committee on
Agriculture stating that ap
proval of a posposed Federal
Electric Bank would mean
eventual nationalization of
America’s Investor-owned
electric utility Industry.
Edwin I. Hatch, the Atlanta,
utility executive, made the
warning after saying the effect
of such banking legislation
would obviously establish an un
fair contest:
On one side would be the
"numerous Rural Electric -
Cooperatives fully established,
generally unregulated, virtually
untaxed, having to pay only 2
percent to 4 percent for an un
limited amount of money, able
to combine, and able to absorb
other utilities’ systems.
"On the other side would be
the Investor-owned electric uti
lity companies, heavily re
gulated and taxed and having to
pay over 6 percent for the use
of money?’ he said.
The legislation, involving bil
lions of dollars at interest
rates below the market costs
of money, would provide fe
deral loans for constructing
generating and transmission
facilities that would duplicate
or displace those of investor
owned, taxpaying utilities, Mr.
Hatch said.
The Rural Electrification Act,
he recalled, was designed to
help bring electric service to
the nation’s rural areas. And
he complimented the REA for a
good job In that respect;
At the same time, Mr. Hatch
charged that national emphasis
In REA In recent years has
changed to the financing of
generating and transmission
facilities. Loans are made to
cooperatives at 2 percent In
terest, less than half the cost
of money to the federal govern
ment. And no deferal Income
taxes are paid, he continued.
He said that Congress has been
increasingly critical of such
loans because It never In
tended that government-sub
sidized power plants paying no
federal Income taxes should
compete with existing taxpay
ing electric power suppliers.
With that background, the uti
lity official said that the Feder
al Electric Bank has been pro-
posed to evade the Congression
al directives opposing the mis
use of REA loans and to free
the co-ops from any possible
control by Congress.
Such a bank, he continued, Is
completely unnecessary and
wasteful because electric power
supply Is ample throughout the
•United States.
Hurdles Remain But
Outlines of Rapid *- -
Transit Are Nearer
STATEMENT BY H. L. STUART
Newly Appointed General Manager
Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority
“Now that engineering studies have been resumed It will be
a relatively short time until the physical outlines of rapid
transit will begin to become visible. We have been through
five years of successful planning and promotion to reach the
point where we are now. During this time the Metropolitan At
lanta area has grown, but its character has not changed. This
growth requires that we update the earlier work, but that Is
all It requires. We are not starting over again, but going
forward. In fact, some of the same people who participated In
the earlier work have returned to pick up where they left off.
Their work this time will lead directly to acquiring right
of-way. This ought to begin late next year.
“There are some high hurdles between now and a running
rapid transit system, but there are some high ones behind us
that we got over. The only way I know to approach a huge
undertaking like bringing rapid transit to our region Is to get
out In front and stay there. We must assume nothing but ulti
mate success. The days of doubt or hesitation must stay
behind us.
“I Intend to do everything I can to bring us rapid transit
without back-tracking, without false starts or Interuptlons.
Plans we must have, and we have good basics; promotion
and financing are In the Immediate future, to be followed
by right-of-way acquisition and contruction. You will see
that it does not take nearly as long to construct rapid tran
sit as It does to construct modern highways.
"These things I mention are steps, not goals. There Is only
one goal: to get some trains running as soon as possible.”

EXECS HAD RATHER QUIT
THAN SWITCH TO BOONDOCK’
Some cigarette smokers may fight before they’ll switch brands, but that’s nothing compared with
what has happened when certain industries have tried to transfer executives to new plants out in
the “boondocks” — they Just quit.
This seldom-mentioned management problem recently was aired in a Wall Street Journal fea
ture article which stressed the difficulties of getting executive personnel to tear themselves
away from the "bright-light” attractions of such cosmopolitan cities as New York and San
Francisco in order to take over the operation of new plants in small towns. Even when the new
plant is near a big city, some executives are reluctant to make the move. One nationally known
New York-based manufacturer, which located a division in a small Pennsylvania town near
Philadelphia, had 50 managers refuse to be transferred to the new plant; 35 of the balkers actually
quit the company in order to remain In New York.
In many Instances, It appears that the executive himself is not too concerned over where the
plant or office Is located, but the dissatisfaction stems from the wife’s unhappiness in the smaller
communities — the kids may get an inferior education, there’s no satlfactory social life, no stimu
lating diversions, and so on, even to the fear that the kids may learn to grow up without shoes.
“Mostly,” says one manager, “it’s been the wives wanting to go back home to mama.”
For the company heavily dependent updn engineering and scientific personnel, the small-town
plant poses special problems because executive's in such industries want the change to advance
educationally. Hence, locations near large universities or other strong educational centers are a
major prerequisite In their selections. Despite favorable arguments advanced by some manage
ments for the bucolic life offered in operating a small-town plant, there remains the cold hard
fact that management today generally is recognizing the reluctance of executives to transfer from
the city. These “sidewalk people,” as one large corporation classifies them, are loath to desert
the greater cultural, recreational and educational advantages of the metropolitan centers for the
“clean air, cheap land, and other virtues” ascribed to rural America.
On the other hand, one management man’s poison may be another’s meat, and certain executives
are attracted to locations that may repel others. For example, some plant managers welcome the
opportunity to become one of the “big frogs In the small-town pond” — serve as president of
the local Chamber of Commerce, head up the United Fund, or, possibly, run for city council and
even mayor, Campbell Soup Co., which has put three fourths of its plants in rual areas, points
to the advantages of “getting to the plant in 10 minutes and the opportunity to play nine holes of
golf before dinner.”
The Wall Street Journal article sounds a clear note of warnlne to the averatte Georgia town and
those throughout the South. More and more, Industry Is going to be looking for good towns —
towns that are physically attractive, offering in substantial variety the amenities for good living.
In the words of a Cleveland-based manufacturer, they must pick as plant locations "small towns
that executives will find attractive.” Among the diverse factors many firms evaluate In location
surveys are public services, schools, hospital facilities, and police and fire protection, as well
as promlmity to large metroix>lltan centers which offer cultural and entertainment attractions.
This emphasizes the need for municipal Improvement. By means of the Certified City program ini
tiated last year by Georgia Tech’s Industrial Development Division, Georgia cities have the op
portunity to get a reading on themselves and to pinpoint their deficiencies. Then, with the assist
ance of this Division, these cities can set up action programs designed to correct or improve
their local situations, Last year, almost universal was the shortcoming of participant cities in
the area of physical appearance. In view of the current trend of Industrial management to examine
critically small-town plant locations, Georgia cities can profit from participating In the Certi
fied City program. Not only will this permit upgrading of the city Itself, but also will afford the
opportunity for certification, a distinction that can be favorably exploited in nearly all contacts
with progressive Industrial managements.
April has been proclaimed the tenth annual Georgia Industry Month by Gov, Carl E. Sanders.
The observance, sponsored by the Associated Industries of Georgia, Georgia Jaycees and De
partment of Industry and Trade, emphasizes the impact of industry upon Georgia communities and
the need for a healthy business climate.
