ECONOMIC H1GHL1GHrs


There is almost plethora of OPP
timistic predictions concerning the
future of business activity. How
ever, there is likewise almost a COM
plete lack of actual tangible factors
on which to base forecast that the
indexes will show any substantial
rise for many months to come. It
will be almost a miracle, even If the
p-priming program goes thru
rs scheduled, If conditions change
for the better in the next three
months. .... 49,. ~ T.. s"
The experts are watching tn e
commodity price structure. Prices
have been weakening slowly, but
steadily for Elk or eight months,
and during this decline about half
of the gains registered in raw ma
terial prices since the 1882 low
have been lost. A committee Of the
National Association Of Purchasing
Agents recently announced that
there are many who are of the OPP
1nion that this month May is wit
Messing the low point of commod-
ity markets for the current move
ment and that by fall noticeable
betterment will have occurred In
most price trends" The day after
that rather sanguine forecast was
issued the commodity markets show

leaders, wheat and cotton, made
their sharpest breaks in a number
of months. On the basis of figures
running into the first Of June, the
commodity price structure still has
q downward tendency. And while it
is not generally expected that there
viii be any SUDDEN major drops, that
possibility is present. It is certain,
OF course, that in the event of any
thing resembling panic coming to
pass, prices would shrink like a
pmctured balloon. Demand is still
the most important arbiter of price,
and the current state of demand is
definitely not good.
The Annalist points out that
there may be at least one highly
favorable factor in the commodity
price declines that cheaper wheat,
for example, is very possibly the re-
Election of opinion that a European
war Is less imminent that it was,
and that, as a consequence, the ire
mendous increase in foreign demand
for the basic commodities that would
follow widespread conflict will not
result. Hitler's surprising back
down, when Czechoslovakia, faced
with imminent attack by Germany,
modified and refused to give in, has
certainly improved world outlook.
Looking at other phases Of the
business picture, little that can be
h0nestl characterized as strongly
favorable can be found. Stock and
bond prices continue to sag lower,
with market turnover at extremely
low levels. Steel production for q
recent week was at % percent of ca
pacity-off two points from the
week before, and the lowest since
early January. Non-residential
building contracts awarded have
been very low, and there Is no pros
pect Of early Improvement. And, as
one business magazine puts it,
'@The outlook for buying by the rail-
roads and public utilities is still held
back by politics"
Yet it must be recorded that in
the fact Of all this, the feeling

FOR FATHERS DAY

We have honored Mothers Day,
paid our respects to the June brides,
congratulated the June graduate,
and now how about handing big
bouquet of spring flowers to the
husband of the mother and the ia
,ther of the June bride and gradu-
ate? A tribute to the fellow who
pays the grocer, the baker, the land
lord, the doctor and so on. Our hat
is off to that fellow you go to for
help-and get it. To the chap who
did bit of prancing when you
were first making your entrance In
to his, home and county, and who
has been kept busy prancing ever
since seeing to shoes and soap, food
and fancies. At times he has been
stern and strong, but again he has
been sad and soft, this father OF
yours. It is the same young man
who had to get his girl home at II
or else, who didn't have a car, and
never heard crooner, but managed
a hayride now and then. He thought
a big Apple" grew on a tree but
knew that Virginia Reel wasn't a
movie made in the south. Rather
imagine he wore high stiff collar
with a narrow tie, a blue serge suit
and patent leather shoes when he
dressed up in his Sunday best. NO
doubt the serge was somewhat shiny
as serge had way OF doing then.
He took the grease spots out with
benzine with the result OF an aW-
full smell surrounding him for hours.
Saturday was still the weeks big
night when the band played and the
stores stayed open and the girls
walked arm in arm past the boys
punched together, laughing silly
like and self-consciously. That
was before you came in the picture
and changed his order OF behavior.
Sure. that's the same lad, only he Is
a bit older now. That was his day
then. His day today sees world
in turmoil with national questions
needing sane heads for the right
answers. War is there, recession
here. and unrest and discomfort are
all about us. But with it all I'M
pressed on our minds and in our
thoughts, thank heaven we still
have time for the fathers in our
hearts!

bEven if other remedies have failed.
don't be discouraged, try Creomul-
sion. Your druggist is authorized to
refund your money if you are not
thoroughly satisfied with the bene-
fits obtained. CreomulSion is one

LET'S KEEP GREFNBELT GREEN
Without questio ion the single feature
that characterizes Greenbelt as the
town beautiful is the belt Of green
the grass, the shrubs, the hedges and
the trees.
However, if the beauty that is Green
belts is to endure, must show
regard for our landscape, and particular
ly for our lawns.
The knowledge, perhaps, is not general
that many Of the lawns in town
lai6 strip by strip one lays down
carpet. This process makes for the most
beautiful and Testing lawns, but to be
most successful, it is necessary to give
the newly tronsplonted grass a chance to
have its roots reach deep into the earth.
Usually this takes about yeer.
None Of the lawns is that old yet. There
fore, trampline over the lawns will
ruin them. Unless want lawns to
be mud ponds by next spring, we must re-
frain from walking on them now.
Bald, unsightly blotches already
in evidence here and there, parti culorly
necr the underpasses, where the children,
running down with their wagons BIZ
cycles, have worked havoc wi tn the grass.
Mothers are urged to cauti on their
children not to short cut across the
lawns, nor to their wagons or BIZ
cycles on the grass. And the grown folks,
those ethletically minded, ore asked
that if they wish to play ball, to play
where the grass has not yet been planted.
Let's help keep Greenbelt green.
