labor, to put it mildly, is over the
barrel. The workers in western
Germany have seen profits Of their
employers sky-rocket since last
summers reform of German cur
rency, while their living standards
improved little more than five per-
cent. Production figures, probably
not very accurate, are higher, and
German exports have increased.
Production in the three western
zones, in fact, is about 800 OF
1886 levels. A year ago it was only
500 of 1886.
Standards of living in western
Germany are about 25% lower
than the average of the rest OF
western Europe, and about 25R
higher than living, standards in
Soviet ruled eastern Germany.
Unemployment, among able
bodied male workers, is low but
under-employment is high. Re-
fugees from eastern Germany, and
formerly German inhabited parts
of Slavic countries-about 6,000,-
600 of them, including a dispropor-
tionate number of old people,
women, and children-threaten to
be a permanent drag on recovery
and on the living standards of en-
ployed workers.
Currency reform was planned
by a secret committee of German
conservatives and American and
British officials. The German work
ers were not represented on the
committee, nor did they have an
opportunity to present their views.
All Germans had to turn in their
old marks. For every ten of these
they received one new mark, and
each individual got "nest egg"
of sixty marks-about SIS.
Doesn't sound too unfair, does
it? But manufacturers knew al
most to the day when the new
money would be introduced, and
while they continued to produce,
and pay their workers in old marks
they held goods off the market un-
til the new money was in circula-
ton, and then releated the mater
ials. In other words, labor was
paid in worthless currency for
goods that were sold for good
money.
The workers, consequently, were
not able to replace the things they
lost during the war even when
stores filled up again. The business
classes, on the other hand, were.
Vivid social inequities, which were
supposed to vanish with the end of
the black market are, therefore,
still present in Germany,
Shortly after currency reform
Gen. Lucius Clay, US occupation
commander, decreed the end of
price controls in the American
zone on all but the most essential
commodities. Furniture, which in
a bombed out country is at a prem
ium, was not included in the list of
essentials. SO, now that the busi-
ness classes have bought their
furniture, a number of furniture
workers are unemployed in a coun-
try crying for household goods.
The answer of Gen. Clay's econ
omists, and of the German conser-
vatives who dominated the Ger

Health Department
Warns Against
Common Housefly

The State Health authorities are
predicting a heavy fly production
year during 1949 based on inspec-
fions made throughout the State
thus far this season. Further
more, weather conditions up to
the present time have been very
favorable for fly breeding.
This situation is of considerable
importance to citizens because of
xhe disease-carrying possibilities
of the common housefly. State
Health authorities are also con
cerned about heavy fly breeding
because of the reaction of the
pzblic toward the use of DOT for
fly destruction purposes.
Numerous tests indicate that

On June 81, 20 and 29th the All

Each All boy or girl will be
required to pay $3.50 to cover the
cost of transportation, cooks,
lodging and other little things
needed around a camp. Almost
any food raised on the farm can
be used to carry on this camp.
No boy or girl should miss going
because they can not carry
enough food to lat sthree days.

Der Of these insects in a given
area will be reflected in the num-

houses are sprayed with DOT or
not. The more prevalent flies are,
the more they will be seen, even
though the percentage of kill by

vestigations indicate that many
p-opie fail to realize this fact and
are prone to complain that DOT
is not doing the job as formerly.
Health authorities have always
claimed that basic sanitation is
the prime factor in the control of
such insects as flies. DOT is adj
vocated as a supplement to basic
sanitation measures and not as a
substitute. 1t is absolutely es-
sential for citizens to realize this
and to assume individual and
community responsibility in car
rying out basic sanitation mea-
sures to prevent fly breeding and
then to use DOT wisely as a sup
Elementary measure. In view OF
the heavy fly breeding already
observed this season, it is desired
tc awaken people to their own re- !
sponsibility and to caution them
not to expect the impossible from
the efforts of the health authorl-
ties in the use of DOT.
Since flies are capable of fly |

troll measures are most effective

Investigations of property of
people who complain that the d

However, some caution must be
