More Stable Unit

DO not be alarmed, though,
that in the future you may not
be able to distinguish between
your favorite service station and
the corner drugstore combined
with the hardware store, the
electrical supply shop and the
jewelry store" il continues.
"Over-all. the postwar service
station promises 10 be a more
stable economic unit, less af-
fected by serious gasoline price
wars, and more attractive TO a
high-type independent merchant.
Look for the petroleum industry
10 spend millions OF dollars In
rehabilitating and equipping sta
tions, and building new ones.
Look also for these: new stress
on tire. battery and accessory
sales, training, housekeeping,
and precision service"
For years before Pearl Harbor,
oil company marketing experts
had advocated balanced selling
"a certain ratio of motor oil,
fabrication, and tire. battery
and accessory business to every
1000 gallons of gasoline sold, it
is explained.
In 1889, a department of COM
merce survey of more than 49,
600 Serpice e stations showed
gasoline and motor oil on the
average accounted for S4 per
cent of gross income. Today, it
is estimated servicing and sale
of related and unrelated items
account for 40 TO so per cent
OF the gross, yet many dealers
are making as much or more
money as in the mast"

EXPLAINS MOVE

Also note that this move as.
sumes that prices do not-repre-
sent fundamental conditions in
the shape of consumer desires
and purchasing power, and pro-
ducer costs and profit motives. II
assumes that prices can be
rolled back TO early 1943, with
out any allowance for changes in
consumer tastes or incomes, in
the prices of other products, or
in the costs of manufacturers and
distributors, 1t assumes that this
can be done without affecting
production. or quality, or demand!
The unreality OF this approach
is apparent n=the resort TO the
maximum average price" as a
basis for control. When there is
"a range of different grades and
prices, the average" generally
means little. and gives no control
over any particular product. ]
confidently predict that the appii.
cation of this vague general pro-
cedure will do no good in the way
of encouraging the reinstatement
of low-priced lines-rather It viii
have the opposite tendency.

"The railroads have spent mil

rs THAT In The RULE B00K?"

Whether it's football or business, Americans expect fair play
all down the line.
In football, the referee is there to see that the game is
played according to the rules. But he's not supposed to run
with the ball. In business, the referee is the government, which
establishes regulations for fair practices.
But when government goes into business and completes with
its own citizens, the American tradition of fair play is set
aside. The referee then becomes a player, and he enjoys advan-
tages that are denied to all the other players in the game.
Take aforementioned electric power systems, for example.
They pay little or no taxes. When they need money, they call
on the U. S. Treasury and get it at little or no interest. If they
have losses, why worry? You taxpayers take care of that.
Businessmanaged power systems, on the other hand, do
not have these special privileges. They pay their full share of
taxes, pay fair interest on any loans.
Fortunately for you and your tax bill, over 800 Of all the
electric power in this country is produced by t~ax-paying, self
supporting electric companies, owned and operated by several
million folks like you.
And how well are these companies doing their job?
Electricity is still available at low pre-war prices. There
was enough to meet even the gigantic demands of war. And there
will be plenty to give you greater comfort and convenience in
the electric living of the postwar world.

3 SHORT CHANGE
ARTISTS ARE HELD

Allegedly attempting to work a
short change" racket in several
Marysville business places Mon
day night, three Akron men were
arraigned before Justice William
H. Snodgrass, Tuesday, on charges
of Petit larceny.
They were George Riley McClain,
who pleaded guilty and was fined
$50 and costs which he paid; Will
lam B. Brann, who pleaded guilty
and was fined $50. and costs, which
was not paid; and Walton Arm
strong, who entered a plea of gull
ty. He was fined $50 and costs, but
$40 was suspended provided he re-
imburse the victim.
McClains wife, held in Union
county Jail over night, was releas-
ed late Tuesday.
The game they allegediy at
tempted was to buy a small arti-
Gle and offer a $40 bill in pay
ment The operator then pretend
ed to have thought he had given
only a 81. bill, after having been
given his change, and asked to be
given a SIS bill for five ones. He
then offered the S5 bin in exchange
for the $40, the idea being to beat
the store out of S5.
The operators were successful in
only one place out of several tried,
victimizing two young girl clerks
in one store. They were almost
successful at a filling station, but
the filling station owner realized
what was happening in time to
overtake the men and get his $5
back.
Witnesses from each of the
places identified Brann as the man
who tried the manipulations Me-
Claim and Armstrong, however,
were seen in the automobile with
Brann, and in several of the busi-
ness places in which Brann alleged
ly tried the scheme.

the fact that it closes, with the
hope that there shall be a new
heaven and a new earth, wherein
dwelleth righteousness.
Any other kind of a world will
not do. All other kinds have been
tried and found wanting.
The problem facing mankind is,
How to plant righteousness in the
world. We should not fool ourselves
into thinking it is going to be an
easy one. 1t is simple to declare
war. All that needs to be done is,
the declaration, conscriptiOn OF
men, and the leVeling Of taxes. But
peace cannot be so regimented,
Peace must be created. Too many
times it is only the victory of arms,
the cessation of hosilities, and the
triumph of human statecraft. Such
a program merely stops men from
fighting, it does not bring peace.
1t is something to feel indebted
to the warfare just waged. That
has been essential. To have stopped
before the war was won would
have been the highest point of non
sense. But now that it is over the
question is, What are we going to
do about it? One thing is certain
we cannot lose our interest in
world affairs. Our allies will need
our support, and the conquered
nations must have direction, in
the right way, and discipline as
well.
How long it will take, no man
has that answer. To create a new
philosophy of life, including; gov
ernment, education, and religion,
is not merely an overnight" job.
But it requires years, and if at the
end of those, a new generation can
rise up and call men brothers,
rather than engage another war,
the price paid will have not been
too high.
A part of the work of rehabili,
tation, is not merely helping people
II is better than that. 1t means
helping people to help themselves
1t reduces the need for supplies
from the outside by assisting the

August 18th and goth.
Captain Eddie is good enter
tainment, a slice of America that
glorifies the machine age and a
man who believed in machines. The
film is Understanding, spiced with
rich touches of humor and drama.
1t shows Rickenbacker's early
auto racing activities, when he be-
comes Americas ace of aces during
! World War No. l. His boyhood and
Iromances are delved into with
guSto.
The story is told in flashback
fashion when Rickenbacker Erred

RATS. As they drift Rickenbacker
remembers his boyhood, his love
for autos, his first airplane flight
and crash and his part as Americas
No. l ace during the first World
War. He also remembers his ro-
nance with his wife lynn Bari {,
their marriage, postponed by the
war and his hair-raising escapes as
a racing driver. Finally after q
days of drifting, just drifting on a
CLASSY sea, they are rescued.
