WASHING ON, Dec. %
Christmas buying this year prom.
ises to exceed the record of 1925
but high government economists
forecast today that il would be
the last free and bountiful" yule.
tide season until World War II
is ended.
Warnings that "belt-tightening'
on consumers goods IL in the off.
Jig as the nation girds itself to
national defense production and

are TO be issued by government
chiefs after Christmas season

AS the war abroad proceeds
and our national defense pro-
gram unfo ds. the 10000, 900
homes In the United States will
increasingly feel the impact of
this world crisis" Louise STAN
ley, chief of the bureau of home
economics of the agriculture de-
partment. said today.
ADJUSTMENT IN LIVING
"Negone can now foresee the
exact course of events but there
cannot fall TO be more and more
changes In the employment of
family members, in sources and
perhaps In amount Of income,
and In the ways OF spending.
These changes will call for
adjustments In patterns OF liv-
ing-ln the goods and services
families buy and use. in the way
they spend their income, In the
manner In which they employ
their leisure time.
Already the new office of pro-
duction management of the ma
tional defense commission, created
by President Roosevelt. is pre-
pared to call on major industries
to curtail ordinary peace time
production and concentrate on de-
Tense contracts.
AUTO INDUSTRY FIRST
The giant automobile industry
is slated to be one of the first
affected. Within a few weeks, i,
was reported. the defense COM
mission will seek TO work out with
the automobile industry a pro-
gram to limit production of auto
mobiles for domestic needs similar
to the agreement already made
with the aviation industry.
Anticipating this, automobile
manufacturers were said to be
planning to keep at full produc-
ton on pleasure cars and trucks
during the usually dull months OF
January and February not only
to meet the big demand of buyers
but to try 10 build up reserve
stocks.

stated that as minority group
i'm this American civilization, al
though we are Americans, we
must realize that we are Negroes
and there should be a philosophy
of life which should direct us in
our action. The second point was
that we must learn to think and
through thinking attempt to de-
velop those talents which we
have. She strongly emphasized
the fact that minority group
must not only learn to think but
use good maners as a basis of liv

was that we must have faith in
God, faith in const- tutional
things, for through faith one
has an opportunity to hope and
through hope, of course, there is
An opportunity to live. DR.. Brown
emphasized the difference be-,
