SNYDER SEES BIG
PRODUCTION Squirt
SAYS 1t Will Not Be Long
Before Durable Goods
Shortages Ended

ST. LOUIS. April 7. -U.R- Re
conversion Director John W. ony-
der said tonight the natl n is "or
the threshold of a tremendous squirt
in output of all the things we
can't get now"
SNYDER returned to his home
town of St. Louis to address a
jackson Day dinner. He said short
ages of consumer durable goods
such as refrigerators, vacuum
cleaners and automobiles will con-
tinue for a while, but added:
eff we have no more long drawn
out strikes, production will start
flowing in great quantities in the
next three to six months"
Snyder said he himself was some
times puzzled to know why short
ages remained when production
of civilian goods was at the high
est level in the nations history,
in war or in peace.
'Why is it that we men have so
much trouble finding shirts and
shorts, that veterans can't always
find suits, and that their wives
and sisters spend SO much effort
pursuing the elusive nylon? Why
are most of us still driving an
cient cars? Where are the goods
going?"
The answer. Snyder said, is
three-fold:
|. Business, which had a lot OF
getting ready to do as a result OF
the change-over from war to peace,
is constructing facilities and buy
ing equipment at a higher rate

Or will you hurriedly hand him
some money and tell him nos to

Both methods are bad Tor Jun

Christmas in our children when
we encourage them to thi n k
mainly Of what they are going to
receive, and to regard giving as
almost an after-thought or a nee

We women probably need to be
reminded of that. Because all too
often we do take the easy way out
when it comes to the gifts our
children are to give.
Instead of taking time to help
them plan just the right gift fol-
each person., and to encourage
them to save their m on e y for
Christmas spending, we make one
of the two mistakes mentioned
above.
Besides that, we have so com
