IT'S VACATION TIME

Americans will dig into their vacation pock-
cts this year to the amount Of $4,000, 900 900.
! So the travel industry now estimates as it
prepares to receive the first impact of what
will be the biggest vacation spending spree in
the history of the United States.
/ That more people are travelling more places
and spending more money this year than ever
before is primarily due to three basic reasons
/ l. There are accommodations avail
able and better services
/ 2. The air, bus, and rail lines have more
equipment faster schedules, and frequent SER
vice to the Nations top resort areas.
3. New automobiles, while not in abundance
are becoming available to more families.
Resort, hotel, and transportation companies,
as today's special vacation section of this news
paper reveals, are back in the tourist business
on keen competitive basis as has existed
in many, many years. All during the war, the
Nations resorts actually didn't need to adver-
tse. They had more business than they could
accommodate.
This year it is different. People are 'shop-
ping" carefully for their vacation wares. They
are going to spend considerable money and
they going to be certain it is we'll spent.
Canada, South America, and number Of
European countries are after the y. S. tourist
dollar They have launched campaigns de-
signed to lure Americans to their respective
lands
The travel industry, both here and in for
eign countries, is going all out to give the va
cationst his moneys worth. Hotels and
lodges have been spruced up remodeled,
transportation systems have added luxurious
equipment, and services in general are up to
prewar standards.
Americans it is true, will pay more for their
vacation fun in 1947 than they did for similar
recreational advantages in 1910. But they
will receive in return better values
The $4,000, 100000 expenditure for travel
by Americans this year is sound investment
vacation trip brings freshness of outlook,
gives wholesome fun and recreation in addi-
ton to better understanding Of the various
peoples encountered in diverse sections of the
world. christian Science Monitor.

SOCIAL INSECURITY

The following from Masonic Trestle Board
of California show that the editor is alert to
trying to arouse public opinion on question
that has received perhaps too little serious
attention and too much band-wagon propa-
ganda:
"Since 1887 millions of wage-earners have
been contributing toward vast federal sys-
tenn Of so-called social security through de-
ductions from their pay-checks, deductions
which, are matched by equal contributions
from employers. This represents the first
attempt of nationwide scope to Danish the
specter of penniless old age-aterrifying spec
ter that has haunted the worker from time
immemorial Confident that their old age will
be taken care Of few of those who have con-
tributed the vast sums collected under the
Social Security Act have investigated just what
those benefits will be. This is unfortunate,
because, were public opinion aroused, the
glaring Inconsistencies Of this misnamed Social
Security would be corrected, as corrected they
should be-

owe ARE RICH": OTHERS STARVE

General Dwight D. Eisenhower, who COM
manded our soldiers in Europe, says that the
second World War and the price this country
paid was the penalty for years of Indifference
when we stripped ourselves of the strength to
have security and take the leadership for
peace.
The General points out that without Amer
lean aid, guidance and leadership, there is
immediate danger of social, political and eco
nonc chaos among hundreds of millions'' of
people, AS the Chief of Staff puts it. 1--WE
are rich in foodstuffs; one day distant by
plane are millions who starve We are wealthy
in finance nations, sound at the core, are i'm
perilled by bankruptcy. We are possessed of
economic skills and industrial know-how
whole continents await Developments
Almost every American will agree with the
statements of the General and even applaud
his assertion that this country intends "to con-
tinue the firm championship of those who seek
to lead their own lives in peace" However,
it will take more than lip service to implement
the program outlined by the General and it
is not yet clearly established that the people
of the United States are ready to make any
short-rarge sacrifice in order to acquire a
long-range benefit.
In other words, the United States, in its
own behalf. must assist struggling world to
get rid of the effects of the war. The short
range sacrifice is to spare some of our extra
cash and extra goods The long range benefit
that will accrue, in the opinion of most ex-
perts, is a well-ordered world, in which people
can gradually raise their standards of living
and live in peace.

HOUSING FAILURE

The housing shortage in the United States
occasioned by the war, to a large degree, has
not been materially lessened and an appalling
number of Americans continue to live in trail
ers and other temporary, and unsatisfactory,
places.
Everybody remembers the suggestions that
the Federal Government do something about
the shortage. There was talk about 1900, 900
new homes year for ten years, with one
third of them representing subsidized con-
struction for families with low incomes.
Talk, however, does not provide homes for
veterans Others The best that the Housing
Administrator predict for the current year
is million dwelling units, but only 10000
of these expected to be permanent build
ings. The rest will be makeshift conversions
trailers and temporary units.
The 100000 new homes year were ap-
proved in the Taft-Ellender- Wagner Housing
bill, favorably reported some weeks ago by
the Senate Banking Committee. This measure
has gotten nowhere in the Senate although
Senator Taft believes that it can be completed
in the present session.
What, if anything will happen in the House
is uncertain, to say the least.
Marion progress., 1947-06-19
LOCAL CONTROL

The great system Of public edu-
cation, no doubt the best the world
has ever known. was handed down
to us as a trust in order that de-
mocracy and the American way of
life might survive the dangers and
rigors of all time. This system is
important to US because through it
we educate our youth, who will to-
morrow determine the destinies of
our country. 1t is important to US
because it is the only agency
through which we can build an in
telligent public opinion which will
guarantee the rights of liberty and
freedom for US and for the genera
tions to come. 1t is important to
US because it raises the moral level
and the standard of character Of
our people, and through these we
build the type of citizenship which
is SO necessary in the safeguarding
Of a representative form of govern
ment. 1t is important because it
develops and helps to maintain our
national unity. For these reasons
and many others it is important
that we keep our system of free
public education intact.
The war and our consequent in
volvement has had it's effect upon
our schools. They have been scru-
tinized very closely and great
deal of criticism has followed, some
of which has been just and a great
deal of which is unjust. There are
those within the ranks Of the pro-
fession as we'll as those among the
laymen without who, for some sell
fish personal gain, would use the
schools for their own interests and
eventually rob them of their value
to the public. Various sorts Of
charges and countercharges are be-
ing thrown back and forth. The
immediate task of national defense
has made new demands on educa-
tion and has thereby created new
problems to be solved. There are
those who would deny our schools
the financial support which they re-
quire for their efficient operation,
while still others cry for federal aid
to finance them.
Now, we may rightly ask, what
effect does all of this have on our
schools, our teachers, the pupils,
and those who support them? Does
it mean that our American system
of education must give way to
some other plan? Not at all, but
in order to keep free education for
everyone it is our duty as citizens
to give cur schools much better
support than in the past. We must
fight earnestly, yet fairly to make
our schools better. We must shoul-
der the financial burden as a COM
munity and thereby keep local con-
troll which is our right. We must
recognize the duty Of every citizen
to study the candidates for Office
and vote for only those best quail
fed to serve the public. Local con-
troll rather than government con-
troll must be maintained at all cost.
Intelligence and understanding
being necessary to the successful
operation Of democracy, we should
further the cause Of education
whenever possible. To stop or even
curtail the schools now is to ignore
the future, to forget that after war
and unrest comes peace and recon-
struction just as surely as that
dawn follows night. Consequently

NOT FULLY REALIZED

The people of the United States "have not
yet fully realized the gravity of the world
situation," declares Edward R. Stettinius Jr.,
former Secretary of State.
Mr.. Stettinius thinks that the nation is for
tunate in having Generals Marshall and Eisen-
hover, military and diplomatic team of
ability seldom approach, to look after it's in
terests in the present situation.
The former Secretary deprecates the "voices
of little men" which challenge the wisdom of
these leaders in their service to the American
people, He insists that they must have the
full support of the people and be granted what
they deem essential, whether it involves legis-
lation, money or foreign policy.

VETERANS AND THEIR FAMILIES

The Veterans Administration estimates that
war veterans and their families will make up
forty three per cent of the country's popula-
tion by 1852
Population experts believe that the veterans
and their families, now numbering $4,000, 900,
will grow to 62, 800, 900 by 1852
While the Veterans Administration esti-
mates are used as the basis for it's program
during the next ten years, the public is in
terested in the inevitable conclusion that the
veteran and his family will exert key influ-
ence on the national scene in five years time

% rather different" course from
that originally contemplated.
A period from now until July
during which it tentatively contem-
plated the agreement would remain
open for signature. would provide
time for repentance for Argen-
tina and any other nations which
might be reluctant to enter an In
ternational wheat pact.
Asked whether Argentina had
been prompted to refuse to enter an
agreement by a desire "to make
more money! Sir Gerard replied:
Your guess is as good as mine
it sounds like pretty good guess. "
He added that owing to possible
change in crop conditions "Argen-
tina might be sitting pretty for two
years and later be in an exception
ally hot spot" He explained that
this was not an Official opinion"
Discussions about prices in the
closed sessions, he said, have pro-
duced range between IS cents and
l$1.80, adding, Il don't think either
of those prices is still alive"
Referring to the present agree
ment under which Canada is COM
mitted for another three years to
sell wheat to Great Britain at be-
tween 81 IS and 81 a bushel he said
"The reasonable supposition Is
that the Canadian agreement would
be merged into the present agree
ment-although we just don't know
yet"

Argentina Stunning
World Wheat Pact,
Farley Head Admits
By the Associoted Press

LONDON, Mar. 2s.-The Interna-
tional Wheat Conference yesterday
officially confirmed reports that
Argentina is mot for the present
accepting a world wheat agree
ment, but Chairman Sir Gerard
Clausen expressed hope that Ar
gentina eventually will come into
the pact
Sir Gerard explained that the
meeting now was working on a
proposed agreement whereby i'm
porting countries would undertake
to buy from exporting countries
definite quantities of wheat at pre-
arranged prices.
One proposed provision of the
pact, he said, would allow import
ers to resort to non-signatory ex-
porting countries only in the event
signatory countries are unable to
supply them.
Sir Gerard said, however, that
for the time being the big demand
for wheat all over the world may
mean that importers would have to
go to any source of supply.
Sir Gerard said the refusal oil
