It's A Lie!

Unions are wrecking the country"
IT'S A LIE!

The NAM and the u. S. Chamber
Of Commerce claim "the problem is
production" The New York Times
insists "the right method is produc-
ton" David Lawrence, George So
kolsky, Mark Sullivan and Frank
Kent, columnists who reflect big

essity for production"
Newspaper editorials daily sing
paens to the great God production" ."
Harvard Economist Sumner Slichter
lends an authoritative tone to the
campaign by predicting dire. events
if we don't have production" and
laments now that production has
been tagging"
The implication, sometimes direct,
sometimes indirect, in all of these
cries is that labor doesn't want to
produce; that workers are too eager
to seek wage increases without a
corresponding increase in production.
What's the score on this "produc-
ton" cry? How does this steady
chant for "production" which places
the onus on labor stack up against
reality?
The facts show that the problem is
not production, that production has
not been tagging and that labor has
increased its efficiency.
The sixth report from the Director
of the Office of War Mobilization and
Reconversion april /, 1946) to the
president on the state Of production
says:
"Total civilian production now
stands at the highest level ever
reached by the nation, in war or in
peace; an annual rate of more than
$50 billion"
The seventh report from the same
office, July /, 1916, points out:
Total production of goods and
services stands at the highest point
in peacetime history. The Fed
eral Reserve Index of the physical
volume of industrial production which
had averaged 100 for the first three
of this year rose to 165 in
the second quarter"
A War Production Board analysis
Of "The Effect of War Upon Indus
trial Economy" demonstrated that
labor productivity during five war
years rose an average of 25 per cent.
Thus in terms Of efficiency it now
takes four hands to accomplish what
five did previously.
We've got production and we've
got efficiency now if business will
by keeping prices down and
by planning acquisition Of scarce and
basic materials maybe We'll get still
more production.
How lie is born.

sponsored the concert. Handling
his fine tenor voice as a skilled

'CrucifiXion' showed the deep re
ligious of the Negro. Following

REMOVE
ASHES
"

If yours is a coal burning fur
mace, there has to be some place for
the ashes to drop and to be con-
tanned. 1t is unfortunate, though,
that this receptacle has to be called
the ash pit, for it really has a far
more important function, which,
when overlooked, ear aus you
more heating trouble and expense
than anything else.
AS explained to me by the
worlds largest installers of home
heating furnaces, the primary
function of the pot underneath the
CRATES is to serve as an air cham
Der, supplying the necessary guam
tity of pre-heated air to bring
about good burning of the coal. If
this air is choked off by ashes fill
ing up the space, the combustion
must necessarily be interfered
with, causing a loss of heat and a
waste of coal, and even leading to
the fire being extinguished. Clink-
ers form, and there is trouble all
around.
There is, therefore, every good
reason for removing the ashes
daily. 1t is a nuisance, to be sure,
but if you allow the ashes to pile
up, it simply means that you are
making more ashes than necessary
to form in the irepot, so that the
easiest way out is to keep the ash
pit clean. Furthermore, if the
ashes pile up too high, you not only
waste more than half of your coal,
but you'll burn out the CRATES.
Operate a clean furnace and
you'll be amazed at the saving in
fuel fact that really means
something in these days of coal
shortage.

Omaha's Regional RFC
Leads in Percentage
of Surplus Sales +.

For the second consecutive
month Omaha's Regional RF'C
Office led all others in the coun-
try in percentage of surplus sales
quota attained during the first five
months of the current fiscal year
beginning July 1, it was amour
ced today.
The sales quota set for Omaha
is $4,000 per day. During the
month of November the Omaha
Agency's sales of capital and pro-
ducers goods totaled 1929, 523.3 IS.
AS an indication of the rate at
which the Omaha Agency is py-
rambling sales total sales for the
period from December l through
the 18th were $?13, 977.67. Omaha
has reached SO per cent of its
yearly quota and is the only agen-
cy in the country which has pas
sed even the 40 per cent mark.
The national average percentage
of quota reached was 8.9 per cent.
Gordon T. Burke, Assistant
Manager of RFC in charge of Sur
Plus TIOperIy SAID mat IL is inter-
esting to note that mid-western
RFC agencies are leading the ma
ton in sales activity. Following
Omoha's lead, Minneapolis is in
second place, Denver is third, San
Antonio is fourth, and Salt Lake
City is fifth. We believe our sales
position has been realized only be-
cause manufacturers and business
men of this section have been on
their toes and ready to buy the
surplus property which we have
for disposal. Our record does them
credit and is a reflection of their
good business judgment, and de-
spite the troubles we've had, we
hope they'll keep coming to us for
merchandise.

BABY.

We often hear that children are
creatures of habit. Most adults
have habits which, once establish
ed, are hard to change.
Infants who are started on foods
other than milk, during the first
four or five months are learning to
eat a variety and establishing the
habit of eating new foods. At first
this is an educational matter and
good food habits established early
are apt to last throughout life. A
variety of milk, vegetables, egg,
fruits, custards and simple pud-
dings form food habits which the
rest of the family could follow with
advantage.
Good food habits are essential
for health and also for future hap
piness. Eating is a life long salts
faction and source Of pleasure.
But, eating loses its pleasant as
sociations if force or urging en-
tiers into the picture. Nc one, young
or old, wants to be urged to finish
a serving. Ones natural resistance
is aroused. A small serving looks
more appetizing and second or even
third helpings hold more allure
than one large serving.
If food is refused, or the serving
is not all eaten, it should be quiet
ly removed and given at another
meal time. 1t is nor important to
maintain a happy meal time at
mosphere than that the last few
spoonfuls be eaten under protest.
Urging, scolding or any other in
dication of forcing the last mouth
fuls down an unwilling child is not
only ineffective and defeats its pur-
pose but robs the child and parent
Of one source of continual happi-
ness, satisfying family mealtimes.
