% and Sept. l, the government had
retired IA billion dollars Of its obli-

Next to debt reduction, Snyder
declared the administration sec

a balanced budget. With the pres
ent level Of taxes, the government
actually will have cash surplus OF
almost three billion dollars for the
present fiscal year, but the accred-

other items payable in the future to
the current budget will produce q

over the retention Of controls, with
President Truman calling for con-
tinuation OF regulations and other
party heads favoring a relaxation, II
necessary.
Declaring there was a shortage
but no famine in meat, Mr.. Truman
looked to fall run of CRASHED cat
tie to relieve the nationwide scare
ity. Attributing the current shortage
to heavy livestock marketings dur
ing the recent suspension Of OPA,
the President asserted that removal
Of controls now would add to diff
culties later.
Mr.. Truman spoke shortly after
the Democratic national executive
committee took cognizance of the
meat situation and instructed Chair
man Hannegan to discuss higher
prices, decontrol or other remedial
measures with government authori-
ties. The committees action came
close upon Democratic House Lead
er McCormack's plea for go day
suspension Of meat control.

dollars to see that the "Boss''
either spends directly, or influ-
ences the spending of the larger
per cent of his income as head
of the family.
Within the last few months,
business in general has discovered
marked evidences of the deter
mination of Mrs. Consumer, par
ticularly in the field of foodstuffs.
She wants the best of food for her
family, but she also has a very de-

have faced a multiplicity of war
borne problems, but none seem as
apparent as the fate of the builo-
ing material and coal dealer. Per-
haps there will come a day again,
not too distant, when the dealer
can quote:
&c. doth the wild ass bray
when he hath grass? Or loweth
the OK over his fodder"
The Kennewick courier-reporter. [volume] (Kennewick, Wash.) 1939-1949, 1946-12-12

finite idea of how much she Will
pay for this food. The pride she
has taken in good buying has suf-
fered body blow during the war
years when she had to scramble
to get the proper food, regardless
of price. True, this was somewhat
compensated for by the fact that
her husband had increased his
income, but not always in pro-
portion to the increases in food
prices.
How determined she is to get
best quality for a reasonable price
is well illustrated in this story: "A
jobber in food products in Texas
recently sent one of his statesmen
out with a deal offering two cases
of that almost unknown fruit
canned pineapple. The catch to
the pineapple was that it also re-
uuired the purchase of four cases
of off-grade or slow-moving can
ned goods which the jobber felt
he must unload. In % calls made
by the salesman, he did not sell
one case of pineapple. Why?
The jobber's customer, the re-
taller, acting as agent for the
''Boss," knows that he will have
trouble selling an inferior product
or one incorrectly priced. During
the past 80 days, millions of dol
las of jobbers' orders for low
grade canned foods have been
cancelled. This is not fiction, but
cold, bare fact.
How can the above apply to ir-
rigation? In Kennewick, we de-
pend almost wholly on irrigation
for our livelihood. With its use,
we produce the BEST of every
one of the districts principal
crops. The BEST can, and does
command the best price, if mar.
keting is well organized, and the
product made available to the
"Boss" in good shape, and at q
price she is willing to pay. Where
else in this country can you find
agricultural districts that pro-
duce better cherries, asparagus
prunes, peaches, mint and grapes?
You really have to hunt with q
fine tooth comb to locate such
districts. Yield? Almost every
good grower can match or surpass
in per acre yield of the above
crops with any other farming
district.
AS you might expect, the fore
going leads up to the development
of the Greater Kennewick High
lands Project. On this project, new
growers, and older, experienced
growers who wish to enlarge their
operations, have the opportunity
to grow the best, get the best yield
market early at the best price, all
at very low per unit cost. That
can, and will, be the next big in
dustry that comes to Kennewick
The soundness of this statement
is proved by the attitude Of the
"Boss"-she wants the best at a
reasonable price.
Mother Nature cooperates with
the grower 100 per cent to give
her the best-our charge is to give
the fruits and vegetables the hes,
processing possible to retain this
quality, then make it available to
Mrs. Consumer at fair price.
Kennewicl's well balanced
economy has its best ally in Mrs
Consumer-don't sell her short.

Retail Troubles

"There was man in the land of
Uz whose name was Job =.
In the United States during the
past years have been many Jobs.
There have been some of them in
Kennewick. could name several
but for the purposes of this story
it might be better to choose one.
Picking a name out of the hat l
find Walt Hanson, manager of the
Potlatch Lumber Yards.
That was lucky choice. Many
other business men have been
faced with just as serious prob
lem. But Waits problems have
been especially apparent and Sc
we're. He has faced them all
and maintained considerable
amount of equilibrium and faith.
&c. and the Lord said unto
Satan, From whence contest thou?
And Satan answered the Lord, and
said, From going to and fro in
the earth, and from walking up
and down upon it."
The country was not exactly
in boom period. But men were
working and producing great
quantities of every conceivable
kind of material. Sales were good.
People were buying.
Then came that fateful day of
December 2, 1941. The world
was plunged into the greatest
chaos of all time. Production was
turned from the plowshare to the
sword. Consumed goods gradual
ly lessened on the dealers shelf.
Lumber workers and miners
turned to the battlefields and the
shipyard. AS time went on, Walt,
like other retailers, was more Oft
en- required to shake his head and
offer an apologize "Sorry; don't
have it." ..
OPA stepped in. Without argu-
ing the merits pro or con of price
control, it is an obvious fact that
it resulted in a. further headache
for the retailers. Directives were
issued in copius quantities. In
vestigators Investigated.
and the Lord said unto
Satan, Behold, he is in thinehand;
but save his life"
Material was becoming increas-
ingly scarce. Shelf and stock-yard
were growing bare. But there
seemed to be plenty Of coal, so
Walt pushed his coal sales. And
the sewer contractor chose that
particular time to dig up the street
in front of the Potlatch Yards and
leave it that way for several
months.
It was possible to drive through
but few people knew it. Coal
sales dwindled to little or nothing.
q. dost thou still retain thy
integrity -.
Finally the sewer was complet-
ed. The street was levelled and
resurfaced. Walt could look out
of the front windows of his estab-
lishment and see the stores up
town-many of them new, her

so Satan went forth
and smote Job with sore boils

crown"
On top of all this came the coal
strike just ended. Prospects are
definitely not good.
