Shepherd of HHs' Forum Guest Sunday
 Guy Howard, "WaIkin' Preacher of 0zarks,"
 Second Congregational Speaker November IS

Guy Howard, whose l2 years of missionary effort among the Ozark people. has earned him such desig- nations as "Walkin' Preacher of the OzarSs'. shepherd of the Hills, "one-man social agency. circuit walker" and living symbol of the Gospel on foot" will be the speaker at the Second Church Forum on Sunday evening, November l8 at S:30 D. m. His book entitled walk in Preacher of the Ozarks' is now in It's fifth edition. Up to the time his book was published, Rev. Guy Howard was for some 10 years pas tor, teacher, music director, confess sor and general advisor to thousands of mountain people in northern Arkansas and southern Missouri, conducting an average of 280 meet ings a year, walking an average of 4,000 miles year, and earning about $l4 month. When the publi- cation of his book and the publicity attendant thereon stirred up verit- able hornets nest among his Ozarks pastorate, he resigned and moved from Gainesville, Mo, to Branson, 50 miles eastward. In this new sec- ton of the OZarks, he has continued to fill the role of missionary and general advisor and on an even larger scale than before, in view of the newly found wealth which has resulted from the sale of his book. He continues to help send young sters to school, to give them medical care, to buy them clothes, food, eyeglasses and just about anything needed by the hill folks. A large part of the money he has received from the sale of his book has gone into foundation for charitable or edu- cational project in the Ozarks.
 MT. Howard is comforting with his publishers Harpers and Brothers, on publication of his second book, which is narrative descriptive novel of the people who had to move when the Lake of the OzarkS back ed up behind Bagnell Dam.
 MT. Howard is married and has three children. He continued to teach and to pour his energies into farm ing for several years after his mar riage, but Seies of personal trag- edies convinced him that his work lay in the service of God. Time has borne out the wisdom of his decision

Brookings Study Says
Drive 10 Boost Wages
lis Initiation Potential
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
A powerful movement for higher
wage rates" is held by the Brook
ings Institution to be the greatest
potential imitation force.
In a study by DR.. Harold @. Moui-
ton, president Of the privately EN-
dowed research organization, and
Karl T. Sehlotterbeck of the institu-
tons research staff, it was found
that continuation Of price control is
"impracticable."
Without wage stabilization and
without rationing," the report said,
"the Government is not in a position
to hold the price line"
War experience in this and other
countries has demonstrated" the
study said, that the control of wage
rates, the most important element
in costs, is indispensable to price
stabilization. In the light of the re-
Gently announced policy Of granting
or permitting wage rate increases
in order to sustain purchasing
power, effective control over prices
has been lost.
'If wage rates rise the OPA will be
forced to review prices all along the
line"
Asserting that the country is faced
with surpluses rather than short
ages of most foodstuffs and raw ma
terials, the report said:
Agricultural production and sup
ply are, or shortly will be, so large
in all except a relatively few lines
that extensive price declines will
take place unless artificially sup
ported at present levels. Further
more, the Government is in a posi-
ton to check speculative buying by
releasing its own holdings"
The study, made under a grant
from the Maurice and Laura Falk
Foundation Of Pittsburgh, concluded
that "the expansion of production
and employment would be seriously
impeded by price CONTROL" except
for the setting of initial prices on
products which were not manufac-
tured during the war
