And, often golden opportunities seem to present themselves through catchy advertisements in the newspapers and by direct mail. One' that has become common during the past few years is the vending machine racket. "?300 Monthly Spare Time," is the lead off on most of them. Who wouldn't go for a deal like that with a promoter standing over you painting a rosy picture of the ease with which large profits can be made with only a few vending ma chines? A good percentage of those engaged in the manufacture, sale and operation of vending machines are legitimate. . But, the National Better Business Bureau through surveys has found that 19 -out of 20 lose. Of 182 interviewed only nine, less than 5 per cent, had made money from the oper ation of the machines and none were mak ing the profits promised or predicted by promoters. In most cases the machines were rusting in attics or basements and couldn't be sold at any price.. It sounds easy to make money without working, but a lot of people have lost their shirts trying it. Investigate thoroughly any of these "wonderful opportunities available in your area" come-ons. Don't make any investment until you have ana lyzed every angle and tiad a long talk with your lawer and your banker. Play it safe. No amount of ridicule, boasting or bluff ch anges the facts. Get them, and "you will understand the news of the day, and gain a clear picture of events. I ARCER. DEFENSE EXPENDITURES? - One result of the fall of Dien Bien Phu and the obvious Communist stalling tactics at Geneva is active consideration in Washington of a broader defense pro - gram. It is believed that President Dwight D. Eisenhower is now seriously consider ing a larger defense budget and possibly a cancellation of proposed reductions in ' Strength for the Army and possibly the Navy. For a time it was believed that a com promise, or truce, could be worked out with the Communists on Indochina. Such hopes now appear to have been unjustified, and the only alternative seems to be a strong united front by the democracies in Asia. Secretary of State John Foster Dulles is now engaged in an effort to line up this united front in Asia, but this effort will take time and if the war in Indochina con tinues, the flow of war materials to that area might be increased. If the United States is to join a NATO type organization in Asia, and continue to supply large quantities of aid and techni cal assistance to French-Union forces in Indochina, the defense budget might have to be raised. Moreover, the ominous les son learned at Geneva is that Russia and China are now partners in an aggressive effort which matches the best efforts of Adolph Hitler and Benito Mussolini in the 1930's. The one positive result of the Geneva Conference is confirmation of the suspi cion that China has embarked on an ex pansion program in Asia .which dwarfs even the dreams of Japanese military lead ers in the 1930's. The United States, as a result, might have to reorientate its defense program and thinking concerning Asia. It is altogether a somber prospect for the American people, and one which may de mand new sacrifices in the future. Flipper Fanny, our dainty little con tour twister, just back from college, says she never let her home work interfere with her education.
