GERMANY:
EaplosiUe

Germany remained an explosive
issue in the strife-torn international
picture.
AS the titantic East-West struggle
for Berlin continues, reports were
current that four-power talks would
be resumed in an attempt to settle
the crisis there as well as to scan
the entire European situation. The
rumors circulated after top diplo-
mats of the U. S., Britain and
France were closeted in series
Of conferences.
In the biggest air lift in history.
U. S. and British planes continued
to transport food and fuel to the
beleaguered city. The big planes
averaged 4,5Oo tons Of essential
goods daily in their effort to break
the Russian blockade.
Violence broke out in the Rus
sian sector of the capital city as
thousands of Germans damned
banks to exchange their money for
new Soviet-sponsored currency.
Although she looks like a prim
scho arm, Berlin's woman
mayor, Socialist Louise Schroeder,
urageously defied Russia's order
to dismiss the anti-Communist
deputy police chief.

A.BOMBS:
Ne,v Force

The veil of secrecy which has
shrouded most Of the postwar
atomic energy experiments was
lifted, a tiny bit at least, for the
American public in the fourth semi
annual report of the atomic energy
commission and an accompanying
statement by President Truman.
Justifying the secrecy, the Presi-
dent commended that until controls
are established on the international
level to prevent use Of atomic
energy for military purposes I'VE
cannot, as nation, afford to dis
close these secrets which make
this new force the most deadly
form Of military weapon" With
that statement, the American peo-
pie, anxiously cycling war clouds
on the horizon. are inclined to
agree.

LIVING COSTS:
Hit Peak

They changed the name-from

change the trend-upward and ever
upward.
In fact, the index struck an all
time high on June IS, with food
prices reaching record-shattered lev
els, the bureau Of labor statistics
reports.
The index, which represents re-
tail prices of goods and services
bought by moderate income fam
lilies in large cities, registered
TIT per cent of the 1859 av-
erage.
Further increases are inevitable,
too, for wholesale prices hit an all
time high during the week ended
July II and it takes about month
for theif impact to be recorded In
retail prices.
The new consumers price index
is s.3 per cent higher than a year
ago; 1913 per cent above June, 1896
when price controls generally were
abandoned, and TAI per cent above
the August, 1889, level On VI Day
in 1915 the same index was 1898 per
cent Of the 1859 average.

ing and soil-depleting crops will
actually assure higher productivity

n often is whether it is a
l \ good idea for the woman
of the family to hold a job.
Arguments on this point have
been going on for many years.
In the eyes of the last generation,
it was generally considered unfortu-
nate and inadvisable for Mother to
be breadwinner, while two genera
tons ago, it was simply unthinkable.
Only women unfortunate enough to
be widowed, with young children to
support, were supposed to engage in
any gainful work, and this was
usually teaching or taking boarders.
But times have changed. Our
young married folk, our young
parents are facing a different world
from the world their fathers and
mothers knew. Everything is differ
ent. The cost of living has increased
not 10 nor 20 per cent but several
times 100 per cent. Domestic serv'
ice is commanding prices that
would have seemed fantastic even
a short while ago and that are
prohibitive now.
The nervous pressure upon
everyone, from Grandma down
to the new baby, is terrific. We
are hardly aware of what creates
this intense strain, but we are
all conscious of it.
All day long we are meeting hard
conditions. Marketing is a shock.
Keeping the children in orange
juice, new shoes, carfare and lunch
con milk provides a series OF
shocks. Taxation is one long jolt.
The increase among our men OF
heart attacks, stomach ulcers, nerve
ailments and breakdowns consti-
tutes a mute testimonial to what
they are enduring.
Escape From Reality.
We escape from realities by
thousand devices. We read exciting
crime books, listen to startling air
programs, 60 to endless movies,
spend money recklessly-Why not?
The old world has disintegrated be-
fore our eyes, the old ways are
gone: we live for the moment.
And in this new civilization, bur-
dened as it is with high expenses,
high taxation and the steady de-
mands of less fortunate folk, who
SO pitifuny need food and clothing,
it seems to me that the time has
come for Mother to do her share
in supporting the household.
Not in every case, of course.
Not where children are small. OBJ
viously there are many families
where Mother must remain the cor
nerstone. But there are others
where her sharing of the load would
mean an immense relief to Dad
and actually might prolong or save
his life. Too much responsibility
has killed many man. The fright
ening thought that he must be re-
sponsible for every dollar of rent,
every pair of shoes and every gas,
grocery and clothing bill that comes
into the household, that somehow
doctors and dentists bills must be
wrung out of that infexible salary
of his has crushed the spirit OF the
husband and father-and he has
been unable to face it.
When children get to the ages OF
10 or IL, they are old enough to be
of real household use. They are
old enough to learn the value OF
money. They can be trained to do
much that will make the household
run smoothly and such training al
ways will be valuable to them. We
don't ask half enough Of our chill
dren and the result is that a half
grown girl will stand alphabetically
by while Nom dampens the laundry.
