That is the conclusion of the Ma
tional Industrial Conference Board
organization of employers. The fig
ures apply to workers in manufacture
ing industry. They show the results
in loss of wages, in loss Of WORKING
time and changes in the cost of liy-
ing.
Because costs of commodities have
dropped, the indicated loss of money
wages must run far above 27.3 Der
cent, the figure showing loss of buv-
ing power.
The board compares the average
work week of 1929 at 48.6 hours fo,
those employed, and fixes the work
week of June, 1882, at 32.7 hours for
those employed, leaving the unem.
ployed to figure as ciphers.
Weekly earnings in 1929 are com.
puted by the board to have averaged
s28.69 for those at work and to have
averaged $16.24 for those at work in
June, 1882. When it is considered
that most Of the employed are con.
tributing in one way or another to
the support of the unemployed, the
43.4 per cent drop in wages is seen to
represent an incomplete figure. The
earnings left to each wage Garner
average much less than the amount
earned.

SPORTSNANSH|P

The thing that distinguishes
a genuine sportsman from a
"bum sport" is thai those who
have the spirit of sportmanship
not only know how to win grace
fully, but how to lose uncom-
plainingly. The difference be-
tween a genuine sportsman and
the other kind is that your real
sportsman never tries to shift
the responsibility for his failure
upon somebody else.
We have long believed that
the sporting attitude toward
life is the soundest of all philos-
ophies Of living. Try your best
to win, but if you lose don't be
too quick to blame somebody
else for your failure. Nine times
out of ten, people get whatever
rewards their Individual ability,
character and industry entitle
them to. But it is our obser-
vation also, that about nine
times out of ten the man who
fails is ready to lay the blame
upon the government, or the
capitalists, or the boss, or any
body else but himself.
True sportsmanship does not
imply taking defeat lying down.
The true sportsman never knows
when he is licked. He never
accepts defeat as final, but con-
tinues to strive to the end of
the game. He observes the rule
of the game rigidly. If he doesn't
like them, he may try to have
them changed, but so long as
the rules are as they are, he
follows them.
We hear a great deal of whin-
ing in these days Of depression,
but every little while we run
across a real sportsman, who
hasn't let circumstances lick
him, but is starting out afresh
to try to win the game of life.
To every such man we take
off our hat.---Stanley wis }
Republican.

LIVE WELL ON 5 CENTS
PER MEAL BY PLANNING

One OF the outsta ndlng les
sons housewives of this country
are learning is that it is possible
to cut the family food budget to
what in the halcyon days of '29
would have been deemed an in
credibly low figure.
Thousands of wives through
out the country, who, in pros
porous years ordered lavishly
and paid slight attention to
waste or food values, have been
suddenly confronted with the
problem of feeding the family
on an extremely lean allowance.
To many this transition bro't
confusion, resentment and near
panic. 1t just couldn't be done
they declared. The children
must have proper food and their
usual orange juice and grade
A milk. We can't do it on less
and have meals appetizing, was
their complaint.
Realizing this widespread
condition the Golden Rule
Foundation of New York, which
sponsors the needs of under
privileged and handicapped
children, obtained the co-opera-
tion of 18 nationally known food
experts and diet specialists in
the preparation of a series of
low cost menus. The result is
a we'll balanced, appetising diet
at cost of eight cents a meal,
or a total of S8.88 for a family
of five for one week of twenty
one meals.
The menus are especially de-
signed for use during Golden
Rule week, December Ills.
The food costs are based or
current retail prices and the ra-
tion has been carefully balanced
providing seasonable variety
and the required number of cal.
ories both for adults and child.

But sometimes its not so bright
If Santa Clause don't come on

But as soon as Santa goes away,
Most people aren't so happy

P. 7. A. PROGRAM
TUES. AFTERNOON
Communicated

by the P. T. A. at the regular
meeting Tuesday afternoon.
As he had previously addresse d
the group on the necessity of
proper exercise and proper hy-
giene in order to maintain
health, DR.. Pinkerton devoted
this discussion to the prevention
of disease and emphasized the
Importance of each person do
ing his part in this way.
The most important method
of prevention is the natural
method, which means building
up healthy body which will
resist disease. Under the arti-
fetal method of prevention
comes prevention of contagion
and immunity. In order to
prevent contagion the case must
be isolated and contact with the
patient must be avoided. There
are two types of immunity, ac-
quired and induced. Acquired
immunity is the result of resis-
tance set up by the body cells,
when disease has invaded the
body. But few diseases result
in immunity, whooping cough,
scarlet fever, and small pox be-
ing the most general, but even
against these immunity is not
definite or lasting. Induced
immunity is that produced by
vaccine, toxin and anti toxin.
The doctors talk was follow
ed by a piano solo, Moon
Winks", by Norma Jean Dur
ham.
Mr.. Smith, Sth grade teacher,
spoke on Safety First" To
illustrate the need of safety he
mentioned the great loss of life,
property and money, caused
each year by fires and highway
accidents. AS a means of pro-
noting and insuring safety,
Mr.. Smith suggested courtesy,
knowledge, and universal safety
education.
Mr.. Eisenhart explained that
the $500 which was to have
come from the Reconstruc-
tion Finance Corporation in Or
der to provide milk for children
bringing their lunch, would not
be available. The question as
to how this milk might be secur-
ed was left unsettled, although
it was suggested that the vari-
Gus local organizations might
work together to provide it.
Phamplets on Home Care of
Communica BILE Diseases were
distributed by Miss Shipley to
anyone desiring them. Mrs,
Hendry, chairman of the re-
freshment committee for the
