shouldn't be too hard to arrange
since unsegregated gatherings are
by no mean unique in Little Rock
The State Republican convention,
for instance, draws no color line
in its seating arrangements, and
interracial professional and re-
ligious gatherings are not uneom-
mon.
Certainly Mr.. Wallace has a
right to be heard under any rea-
sonable terms he may set-just
as those who don't care to hear
him or to submit to his terms
have a right to stay away. AS a
candidate, Mr. Wallace uses mar
tyrdom as his stock trade, and
we hope no thoughtless official
in Little Rock will furnish him
with any additional campaign
material
In addition to their undeniable
right to a place on it, there are

Privileges are advantages or
opportunities to do or not TO do
what one knows is right. All
have equal rights from the Giver
of Life Our first parents were
given rights in Eden and were
given the law of their Maker
They were also given free will
to obey or not too obey the law
this was their privilege. Thus
the human family was started
off with rights and privileges.
They used their privileges in do
ing what was told them not to do
They were conscious of their
garden, and were ashamed to face
their maker. Consciousness of
doing wrong should make men
ashamed today God gave man
the power known as conscious
which tells one whether his acts
are in keeping with the laws OF
God. .aa $50 a,lassw
Conscience is the power OF the
soul that if cultivated and obeyed
will always prove a safe guide;
but If not obeyed il becomes weak
and in time will not be heard at
all When one reaches such a
state, then wrong will seem right
TO him and his own welfare is
paramont with him. There is a
way that seemeth right to US,
but the end thereof leads to
destruction says the scripture.
The population OF the earth
has increased and prejudice and
selfishness have multiplied so
that we have a world and a So
ciety that has been torn time and
again by disastrous wars that
have set nation against nation
and father against son and dau-
ghter against mother. In our own
great country founded upon the
principles of freedom and equal
ity among men we are almost
rent asunder over rights and
| privileges not knowing there is
a difference between them Rights
have been held in the back seat
until privileges have become en-
trenched behind color and race
which seems to mount higher
each day.
No man has a right TO enslave
another man since God made and
intended that all men should be
free; yet by privilege men have
held others as slaves and the
desire is still with not a few Ia
continue to hold their followmen
as subjects. Among the ancient
nations there were slaves and
shareholders who felt that they
were just in doing so.

A TIMELY WARNING

The following editorial. is reprinted from the Historian Bud
get, Astoria, Oregon:
1T was a timely warning to house appropriations com
mittee gave the Federal Reclamation Bureau, accompanying a
slash in the bureaus budget for the next fiscal year, when It
remained that agency its main function is irrigation, not power.
Every Federal agency in the Northwest seems bent on
only one subiect-the conservation Of almost every stream in
the region into a power plant or series OF them.
"The Reclamation Bureau is one agency that certainly
seems to have little or no business conducting power pro.
motion. The appropriations committee picked the best method
of curtaling its activities by cutting it off at the pockets.
"And the committees warning about the urge OF Federal
bureaus to "sovietize' the administration of power projects IN
the Northwest was also timely.
"The Bonneville Power Administration has been the wor-
st offender in this respect. 1t has assigned itself a holy convert
the whole Northwest to public power, with itself handing
out the over supply to whomsoever it wills. 1t has fought at
public expense to put the private power companies out OF
business. The time was ripe to sound a note of warning to
the Northwest not to sell it ~brthright Of economic independ-
ence for a mass Of Federal power pottage."

THE AMERICAN RETAIL STORE

Chain Store Age recently made a survey Of the operations
of Jorge and small food chains in different sections Of the
country. Facts of interest to the consumer resulted.
One of them il a tendency toward a leveling and reducing
Of markups." That means that through greater efficiency and
smaller unit profits, these stores are doing their utmost to pro-
tect our pocketbooks. They ae fighting price increases, and
selling as cheaply as they can. While this survey dealt with
food systems only, the same thing is true OPT stores which
sell clothing, variety goods, and everything slse.
Another develoment has been a chonge in the percent
age sales volumn registered by various commodities. AS an
example, canned fruits and vegetables were one Of the big
get items handled,by the food chain torres in early days. New
they account for less than one-twentieth Of the total business
That isn't because less of them are being sold-but the increase
sales'of a long list of new items have decreased their percent
age importance. In other words, the consumer hhas an ever
growing list Of goods to choose from. And that, too, is true
Of the stores which deal in consumer goods other than food.
The typical American store, whether it be a chain or an
independent, has no counterpart anywhere else in economy,
service, sanitation, displays, or any other criteria. 1t is an out
standing product of our competitive system.

WHERE THE N GOES

Every now and then, consumer groups draw an untlatter-
ing comparison between the price Of beef on the hoof, at
difference is large. And that leads many people to a totally
erroneous idea of the costs involved in processing and the
marketing.
Some time ago one Of the meat packing companies explain
ed, in full detail, where the money goes to. At that time, the
choice cattle were selling on the Chicago market at an average
of 325 cents per pound-yet steaks were selling in New York
for as high as 81 90 a pound. And here are the reasons why.
For a thousand pound steer, the farmer received $325. By
the time it was dressed and chilled, that steer weighed only
CPS pounds. After adding plant expenses, and deducting the
value Of byproducts, the packer had little more than 1907 in
vested in 625 pounds Of beef-which works out to 49A cents
a Found.
By the time the beef reaches New York, the packers cost
around 81 cents, leaving but a fraction OF a cent per pound for
the packer
By the time the retailer prepared the beef for sale, his in
vetment was over 90 cents a pound. His selling cost plus a
small profit, averaging 125 cents. Consequently, all the cuts
had to move at an average price Of 70 cents for each and every
little as 40 cents a pound. And that simply means that the
price of the choicest suits, such as fine steaks, had to approach
a dollar.
What is true; Of meat is true Of all staple foods. All along
the line, production costs and retailing costs are held to the
minimum. Profits are minuscar. And the consumer gets the
lowest price possible under todayS economic conditions.
The 8Oth Congess, which has passed into the limbo Of history
unless, it is called into special session before the end Of the
year, wos called upon to deal with four major issues-the
labor problem, individual taxation, aid to Europe, and our
military defenses. 1t dealt positively with them all, through
the Taft-Hartle Act, income tax reduction, ERP and the
S13 billion preparedness program. Most Of the other issues
were deferred, and will again 60 into the hopper when the 81st
Congress convenes.
Congress also refused to act on a long list Of presidential
appointments. Reason: The Republicans expect to control the
government next year, and they want their own people in top
jobs.

friendless, and forgotten; boys
who are compelled by sheer ne
cessity to seek their living on

If you could see them as |

someone's heart-you would.
not wonder why | am SO anx-
ious to bring them to Boys
Town. | want them here before
they have suffered all the priv
atoms and hazards of life on
the street; before they have
run afoul Of the law and have
been committed to a reforma
tory.
Because the need is SO great
| am now engaged in the build
ing project about which | have
already ritten you, and which
will provide facilities for 500
more boys. These buildings
will be completed during the
next few months, and then the
Boys Town will be a real home
chool city where 1000 home
less boys will find a home, af-
lection and the opportunity
to make the most of their lives.
Thus far, your generosity,
with the help Of otter sympath
etc friends, has made it pos
sible for me to nov the contra
ctor from moth to moth as the
buildings are being built. I
am very anxious to continue
to do this SO we will have no
Indebtedness when they are
completed.
AS | enclose your annual
Honorary Citizens Card,
therefore, | sincerely hope you
will find it convenient to send
me a contribution now, Of wha
tever amount you care to give.
Then, picture these homeless
boys entering Boys Town, the
light Of their faces, the CLEAN
in there eyes, the feeling Of
hope and security in their hea
rts. You may be sure their gra
titude will follow along life's
way. Thank you-and God
bless you'll
