Realization
DRYS VS.. VETS

The move now underway to combat pro-
hibition by the Citizens Committee Is of a
more serious nature that many people are
led to believe.
Few realize that the issue at stake is not
just the curtailment that has been put on
recently, but an added threat of an all
out attempt of drys to bring in prohibition
Barley which can readily be used in the
manufacture of beer, is being boarded and
virtually sat on by the prohibitionists who
see in this presidential backing their
realization for an all out prohibition.
To quote a statement from Tom Kear'
ney's speech at the Olympia rally, Beer
is not a luxury. 1t is a workingman's staple
beverage. 1T is A NECESSITY.
And were it not a necessity, the horrid
throes of prohibition which is enveloping
over us, should be enough to arose the peo'
pie of our communities to see that this cur
tailment is an actual necessity and not just
a move on the part of those who chose to
see the dry era set in.
When a people desperately need a com
modify, they will manage to acqulr IT,
This was proven in the Black Markets OF
the past War. The same people will began
to purchase home brewed beer, and that
will be our first drastic step towards the
evil DAYS of the twenties, wherln hood!ums,
racketeers & corrupt politicians flourlshed
1T is YOUR DUTY AS AN AMERICAN
TO SEE THAT THIS ISSUE is HANDLED
CLEARLY, JUSTLY AND STRICTLY "
YER THE COUNTER.

of 1914, and over one hundred thirty-six
million pounds in October of 1941. Even
though milk production is at the highest
levels in history, the demands for milk,
ice cream and fluid cream, all of which res
turn higher price to the farmer, are SO
high as to leave less milk for the manufac-
turing of butter than at any time in the
past twenty-five years. The American
people can't have their butterfat in other
forms and have butter too.
There is encouragement, however, for
those who crave the flavor and the taste OF
butter as spread, on vegetables and in
cooking The seasonal low point in fluid
milk production for the year is passing.
The total amount of milk produced will in
crease gradually until next June, and with
it butter production is expected to increase
to nearly twice as much in the month OF
June as in November.

Sense Of Duty

One of the groups most severely hit by
the epidemic of strikes is the American
farmer.
While the men in factories are contin-
uing to prevent the farmer from getting the
tools he needs the tractors, the automo-
biles, the machines and the electrical gad-
gets-he somehow manages to continue to
supply them with ample food.
But we wonder what would happen if
the over-worked farmer decided to rebel?
Suppose the farmers of our country were
unionized (as John l.. Lewis once hoped
to have them) and decided they would cut
off the nations food supply until they re-
ceived higher pay or better prices for
their produce.
Such a condition would be DISASTROUS
but fortunately the farmers have too much
of a sense of responsibility to attempt such
a thing. The nation needs food-and they
know it is their duty to keep the food sup
ply-line operating without interruption.

There is no exact model for carrying on
fire prevention work because of the varia-
ton from city to city in the organizational
set-up of municipal affairs and the division
of various inspectional functions and au-
thority between departments. This situa-
ton becomes further involved when con-
sidered on a national basis, since many
states have laws governing numerous mat
tiers on fire prevention. Every city should
have fire prevention code, properly CO.
ordinated with existing state laws or STAN
dards, and enforceable by the fire depart
Such code should also be integrated with

Where Is The Butter?

Removing the point requirements for
the purchase of butter has not made that
product any easier to find. On the con-
trary, most housewives are finding their
favorite spread harder than ever to get.
This scarcity is causing those homemakers
to ask what has become of the butter.
The answer is not hard to find, states
the National Dairy Council. The removal
by the Government of restrictions on fluid
milk sales sent consumption of that prod
uct, already at an all-time high, to still
greater levels. At the same time the re-
moval of restrictions on sales of fluid cream
and ice cream sent consumption of these
products soaring and made still further in
roads upon the amount of milk and cream
available for butter manufacture.
In October only eighty-nine million
pounds Of factory made butter were made
in the United States as compared with one
hundred million pounds in the same month

What Do You Think?
.O( lO.

Almost every American has, at one
time or another, considered starting his
own business. Each year thousands of
individuals open new shops stores and
factories. Some of them prosper and flou-
IRISH, others fail
Take look at Bill Brown who runs the
general store on Main Street. The store
was his idea and it was financed with his
savings He shouldered all the risks when
he started his business, and he is still liable
for it's operations. He must pay the rent
every month, the wages of his employees,
the cost Of stock, heat, light, and all the
other expenses incidental to running a
store If he buys merchandise that does
not sell it is his loss. Bill Brown takes the
risks Of operating because he believes in
his ability to run successful business.
To serve his customers Bill Brown en-
ploys two men who are paid so many dol
lars week each. The wages paid are on
the level of payments made for similar
help throughout the area. They are part
of Bill Browns operating expenses.
Put yourself in Bill Browns place for a
few moments. Suppose your two en-
ployes approached you at the end of the
month and said: eve hear that you are
making 500 a week in this BUSINESS be-
cause of that we want more wages. We
want 80 per cent more now or else we will
go on strike and picket your store"
AS free American operating under
system of free competitive enterprise what
would you reply to such demand? You
know exactly what you would say: "This
is my business. built it and take all the
risks. My profits and my bookkeeping are
my own business. l pay your wages re-
CARELESS of how big or how little profit I
make. My profit is mine because of my
enterprise"
At the present time this is exactly what
the UAW-CIO is doing in its strike against
General Motors. The Union wants 30 per
cent more out of any profits that may be
earned the Union wants wages tied to prof
its without accepting any responsibility
for possible losses.
Who do you think is right? Bill Brown
or his employees?

Mr.. Kuhn pointed out that this

with production and had no op-
