PASSING THE BUCK AGAIN

The. latest price rises has had the usual
results. Everybody is looking for scape-
goat. Business, labor, government and
agriculture have all PASSED the buck back
and forth among themselves No group
admits that it is in any way responsible
for inflation--the fault always is laid at
the door of the other fellow.
This has produced great deal of con-
fusion among consumers, who are eagerly
searching for the villain responsible for
higher prices. Worst of all, it has tended
to cloud the fact that present prices are
an inevitable result Of the economic pres
sures of the time. The nation is In an in
dustrial boom. Wages and all other costs,
including taxes, are at an all-time high
We are shipping enormous quantities Of
goods abroad. which tends to create scar
cities and consequently higher prices in
the American market. Our $26U, OO0, OOO,-
600 public debt is powerful inflatiohary
factor. And finally, the American people
want more and better goods of all kinds.
1t will be particularly unjust If cons
sumner resentment is largely directed at
the retailer simply because he is on the
firing line and provides handy target.
Retailing is not responsible for high prices,
and has taken positive action to prevent
prices from going even higher than they
are. According to an authoritative report,
net profits, after taxes, of department
stores were but 81 per cent of sales in
the six months ending July 31--less than
half of the level attained in the same
period last year. Food chains have issued
summaries showing that their profits are
even less. Retailing is fighting Initiation
with every weapon available-but it can't
achieve the impossible. Price tags, in the
vast majority of instances, are simply true
reflections of 1947 economic conditions,
and until those conditions change, cost of
production and prices will remain high,

How to Tell
You're Getting Old

Doc Walters gave ME this for.
mula: It's a shre.iire sign you're
getting old when you resent other
people having a good time.
And the Doc means it hasn't
much to do with age. There are old
folks in our town who get a big
kick out of seeing other people en-
JOY themselves-seems to keep
them young in spirit, with a
twinkle in their eyes!
And there are some others who
resent the young folks going fish,

games and dances are just a waste

 He led them to 37-35 vic tory over Torrington in a Nau- gatuck Valley League Contest played at the State Armory in the New City, Thursday, De- cember 26, 1946.
 In the third quarter Torring- ton was on their way to tri- umph but Vincent Drake with his Ham Hands" and Ted Var telas saved the day for the Lavenders.
 Drake made 10 points besides playing a good floor game and keeping an all valley league choice so we'll covered during he game that he could not make a field goal. This was the fifth straight victory for Ansonia and it's second league triumph.
 Drake looped in a one-hander as action began and with his sharp shooting he pushed in pretty toss.
 Drake took a rebound of the last miss and looped in a basket for a 35-31 advantage for the Copper City Cagers.
 Don Samele ended the SCOT ing with a foul shot to make the score 37-35 and with 30 seconds remaining in the game Drake got possession of the ball and cleverly dribbled about the floor to use up the remaining sec onds of play, preserving a tight but we'll earned Ansonia vic tory.
 The score for Drake, was B-5 F-O-1-Pts. 10.
