HAPPENINGS

Writing from Herringlose, Den
mark, Mrs. Anna Knudsen in a let
ter received this week by Mrs. Helen
Jacobs inquiries about her old friends
in Laurel, including L. A. Nutting
and F. w. Schauer. Although she
is in advanced years she says she
tends her garden and loves to be
outdoors. "It is strawberry time
and everything looks very good, but
we would like some rain. 1t looks
as though Europe will have good
crops, which will mean much to all
the countries. There has been a
terrible shipwreck. A big passenger
ship was blown up by a mine and
more than 100 people were lost.
Those mines are still there from
the war and when they get loose
they can't always be seem"

U.S.. Forecasts
Price Troubles
For Housewives

fig
ure just released by the federal re-
erv board and the department OF
commerce carry storm warnings for
housewives who are already having
trouble making both ends meet.
The story is just more of the same
old thing: shortages. We want more
than is being turned out.
The possible dynamite under
prices lies in three new large sums
about to 60 into circulation: CD
money Saved" because of lower in
come taxes, (2) increased INSTALL
ment payments, (3) increased de-
tense appropriations.
Taxes have been cut 4.8 billion
dollars. Much of that tax cut went
to working families who r ex-
pected to spend it instead Of save
it.
Americans are expected to 60 on
the cuff for at least 80 billion dollars
worth Of goods this year. They'll
get them through installment buy
ing and through charge accounts.
llldt D lllG dlllOQllt tllCJ WCllI Oi ~
cuff for in 1947, and the rate was
rising rapidly at the end Of last
year.
That kind Of buying dropped off
through the war because there were
government controls on it, but con-
gress let the controls go in Novem-
Der. Immediately there "a an up
surge.
Funds for the Military
War clouds have forced the gov
eminent to talk Of spending more
for the army, navy and air force.
At first it looked as though the mill
tary services could get along on
ST. $50, 704, 300 more this year than
last.
Even so, that would have meant
so much more money competing for
steel, wooden yard goods, leather,
autos. But now there are plans to
increase that by another three bill
lion dollars. Whether it's two or
five billions that the services have
to spend this year, it's all new
money bidding for what American
farms and factories turn out.
Together those three figures add
up to between 10 and Is billion dol
lars of new spending this coming
year, depending on which sum you
bet on for the military.
Prices Skid Down
There have been flurries of lower
prices which gave rise to hopes
among the majority of Americans
that live on weekly pay checks. The
most dramatic was the downward
skid of food prices. 1t didn't last
long. Most of those skids started
to climb back up right away.
Anyway, those food prices were
only part of the picture. The inn
portant figure to consider is how
much money mills around daily
through the stores and banks. 1t is
now around % billion dollars. Econ
omists call that money in circula-
ton" Add another 10 billion dollars
to Is billion dollars and you've got
a lot of money bidding for the same
amount of goods.
All through 1947 the numbers of
people at work hung close to go mill
lion and their numbers are going
up. So far this year 1,759, 900 more
people were at work than last year.
Business itself was so optimistic
that in l947 more than zoe, 900 new
concerns opened shop. During those
IL months only 3,476 concerns failed,
the lowest number since 1871. !

Italian Declines
In Swiss Schools

ZURICH, Switzerland -(AP)
Italian is one of Switzerland's
official languages, but in Ger
man-speaking Zurich school au-
thorities are finding it difficult
to get enough students together
to make up classes in the Ital-
ian language. Too many stu
dents are choosing English as
their second language, the
teachers say.
In one large school district,
only 46 students chose to study
Italian while 207 selected Eng
lish. Only about 10 per cent
of the students elect to study
Italian. Some language profess
sors say that if this develop
ment persists, Italian will dis
appear entirely from the cur
ricula of some secondary
schools.
