SEEKS
NEW RATE FOR
EXPORT GOODS

TOKYO. Dec. 9-The Japanese
government will enforce a unified
exchange rate for exportable Japa-
nese goods about next March with
the new rate fixed probably at $50
yen for 81 U. s., predicted the finan-
cial magazine Mon Keizai.
A step aimed to "rationalize en-
terprises and stabilize prices would
be substituted for the present null
tiple system of applying to indivi-
dual merchandise, according to the
magazine.
The present rate ranges from 100
to 1000 yen per dollar and is de-
termined by each goods marketable
price in foreign countries and the
wholesale price at which they are
procurable for export by the ia =
panese board of trade.
Thus If an item can sell for on
ly 81 In the United States and its
manufacturing cost in Japan is no
less than 1000 yen. the exchange
rate as applicable to this commo-
dity is arbitrarily fixed at 1000 10
l.
The current so to 1 military con-
version rate enforced by the U. S.
9th army is applicable only to Anne
rican military personnel in Japan
and in Japan U. 8. payments orr
ginating in the United States.
The multiple system has been
often cited as one of the numer-
Gus complications standing in the
way OF the development of post
war Japan foreign trade.

National Safety Council Launches
Drive to Check Holiday Toll

CHICAGO, Ill, Dec. e-"Don't
Let Death Take Your Holiday"
With that slogan as a keynote,
the National Safety Council an
nounced today nationwide cam
paien to check the huge annual
Christmas holiday toll.
The Christmas New Year holi-
day season Is the most hazardous
single period Of the year, accord
ing to Council statistics. In traf-
fic accidents alone, three times
as many persons are killed during
q Christmas holiday period than
on the same days Of the preced-
ing two weeks.
Heavier ravel and the festive
spirit of the holiday season increase
the normal winter hazards. such as
bad weather, slippery roads and
more hours of darkness.
More than 1870 national organiza-
tions. city and state officials, safety
councils and civic leaders have
Joined forces with the Council IN
the year-end campaign. Together
they seek to create In the public
mind an awareness Of the special
holiday hazards, and to enlist vol
untary cooperation on the part of
every individual to hold accidents
to a minimum this Christmas.
The Council emphasized that
the campaign Is the final effort
Of the year to hold the ls47 traf-
fic death toll below the 1916
total Of 33,7O0. At the end Of the
first nine months Of this year.
there was q small reduction In
traffic deaths-4 per cent from
the same period Of 1916, But
the final quarter Of the year al
ways Is the one with the most
traffic deaths.
"Christmastime Is family time
the season of reunion, Of JOY ir
ones children, of drawing ever
closer the most fundamental tie.

The word Gherkin, in radio

cucumber, used for picking. In
English, all words beginning with
"gh" have the hard "g" sound, as in

A curious transposition some
times occurs in pronouncing the
word irrelevant, not pertinent

This is good word to watch. Be
sure to pronounce 1t: ear-RELL-

was used correctly: but the pro-
nunciation has no sanction. Pi-
quaint, "agreeably tart; pungent,' is
a French loan word, from the verb
