British Basketmaking
Looks Up

LONDON - up - British basket
weavers, whose trade on the banks
of the Thames goes back before the
birth of Christ, are regaining pros
perity after a between-the-wars
slump.
After World War I, the 5000
acres Of willow beds dwindled to
1000 acres. Floods of cheap import
ed baskets drove many basket MAX
ers out of business.
Aerial warfare during World War
il brought them back in business.
Thousands of willow baskets were
used for "air drops" of supplies.
Now to conserve funds, Britain is
using its own baskets instead of i'm
porting them. The present labor
force of about 1000 is expected to
rise to $4,000 because of government
training programs for the blind and
partially disabled persons.

The Russians are reported to be

It's a funny thing about the

then settle down.
The trouble with the world is it
starts by paying off old scores and
then ends paying off new debts.
