MERCHANDISING-the art of
supplying wants and needs that
folks develop-is the oldest. yet ever
reWeSt and most challenging, of
business activities.
Crete won its fame as a trade
center, Joseph's corner in wheat
made news in Old Testament times.
Today We have a world amazing

It's factory system able easily to
satisfy those reeds except for ono
thin9-it costs so much more. in
many cases, to get products from
factory or farm to consumer than
it does to make them that millions
can't buy.
Merchandising and its problems
offer opportunities galore to this

opportunities for satisfying choices
whether, for instance, he prefers
the unlimited opportunities of a
chain store system or the indcpen-
dcnce that comes with individual
proprietorship.

abilities run to getting along well
with people in sales or personnel
work, whether he likes to work
alone at desk or in factory or figur-

It can also use him if he has tho

WASHINGTON. June 8. You
can write it down in your book
that some change in the Johnson
act to permit war loans to the
Allies. will almost certainly be
made within-Ssy-six months.
1t won't be done right away. and
this session of CongreSS-if it ad-
joulns in mid-June, as per Sche-
dulc-iS not likely to touch it. But
If the session continues beyond
June, or if there is an extra ses-
sion later in the summer, an am
cndmcnt Is extremely probable.
There has been a great Shift of
sentiment in Congress. Six months
ago any move to lift the ban on
loans would have lost overwhelming
~ Today some of the men who
were most outSpOken against the
lGca last fall arc privately talking
IN favor of it.
The shift is due to two things:
growing concern over the plight
ot the Allies, and feeling that
to make the loans would be good
Tor buSiness-espccially the agri-
cultural business.
General belief is that the Allies
have all the money they need,
right now, for planes and NUM-
tlons. but that they are conserving
Their funds as far as possible by
cutting down on purchases of farm
products. Let the farm belt states
men once get convinced that loans
would boom farm exports and you
are likely 10 see action.
Best way to put it is that as
OF today majority in Congress is
not ready to sit down and let
somebody try to sell the idea.
SqualuS Disaster Caused
No Submarine Changes
The sinking of the submarine
Sqnalus off Portsmouth, N. H., lust
over a year ago, was almost unique
among U. S navy submarine dis
astcrs in that it did not lead to
tar-reachlng changes in the design
or operation Of submarines or of
thclr equipment.
Reason for that is that most
pcacctime submarine disasters are
due to some fundamental defect
and teach the navy something i'm
portant about the use of these
tricky boats. The Squalus sinking
wasn't in that class; the boat sank
simply because of a mechanical
failure in an induction valve, and
that failure proved fatal because
of simultaneous failure in an in
dlcator which should have given
sufficient warning of the mishap.
Chango5 IN tho gear in question
to keep such accidents from hap
penng again have been made

Cambridge, O.-The picnic is over
except for some heavy heads and tired
feet, but it was worth it. At least
the members of l22 believe so, as they
turned out in great style and enjoyed
the day to the fullest, cloudburst and
all. It's getting so the potters picnic
wouldn't be the real mccoy" if we
didn't get our usual drenchng. All
in all the folks from Cambridge had
one grand time and will all be back
next year.
The shop has been running full time
and everyone is looking forward to the
first week of July when we are to get

mountains, whichever one you choose

Everyone has been keeping the old

and a week off should really give US
a chance to do things. Some are oil
ing up their fishing tackel while others
are dressing up to go to the city. Yes
sir, step lively folks and get your
plans all made for good time.
Just little hint, after the vacation
it would be nice thing for the com.

Fundamentally, the problem Amer
lea must solve is, can it prepare to de-
fend itself against foreign foes with
out losing self-government. For the
sake of national defense we are going
to adopt new policies contrary to those
of the past. Everything depends upon
whether these policies are adopted and
carried out according to democratic
procedures; what we want is defense
