New Jobs and Production Forecast by Truman
Economic
 Message
 AtGIan(e;

WASHINGTON, Jan. 7.-lR- Here, in summary, is the nations economic picture-the record, the outlook and the recommended shifts--as presented by President Truman in his economic report to Congress:
 THE GOALS
 Employment 60.0O0,000 civilian jobs, as against 1948s record smashing average of more than 5000 100000.
 Production-A gain of 3 to 4 per cent, about equal to last years.
 THE OUTLOOK
 Prices-The overall rise is at a welcome" halt; but dangerous inflatiopary forces persist in steel, power and other fields.
 Wages-They can rise in some industries without forcing inflation- ary price boosts. They rose ire gularly last year.
 Cost-of- living Preliminary fig ures for December indicate it is still declining slightly.
 THE RECORD
 Consumer Income-It hit a rec ord s21l.00O 100000 last year but, offset by prices rises, brought mo appreciable gain" in real income.
 Profits-Another record, S21, ,000,- 100000 after taxes. MT. Truman said they are too high.
 THE RECOMMENDATIONS
 A repeat of the flair deal' pro- gram he handed Congress Wednes- day; a s4.0O0. 100000 tax increase, falling mainly on business; an eight-point control program includ- ing standby price-wage and allo- cation controls; rent control for "at least two more years: a 100000 home public housing program, a social program embracing higher old-age insurance benefits, 75-cent minimum wage; and a long-range farm program.

hard to confine oneself to the lines
on the plan. Space on a blue print
always looks the right size.
There are two publications which
anyone planning to remodel, build
or buy a house should have. One is
planning Better Homes" published
last January by the Extension Serv-
ice, Montana State college, and "Your
Farm House Cut-Outs to Help in
Planning" a u. S. department of
agriculture bulletin.
The first takes up the various steps
in arriving at a plan and an analysis
of the various rooms. The second is
helpful in that it gives a definite So
luton to the arrangement of space.
The various pieces of furniture and
equipment may be cut out and set up
in the rooms showing exactly what
the final results will be. Even stair
ways and door swings may be dem
onstrated.
Usually houses are built for long
time service. A mistake is costly to
correct or annoying to live with; that
is why it is SO terribly important to
be sure before beginning. AMY

Paradise

Little boy, vacation bound
Where is this paradise you've found;
You who know the city-ways-
Her blist'ring pavements-traffte
maze;
School is out-you're On your way,
Out to Grandpa's ranch, yoa say!
o the magic of those words
Cowboys, ponies, cattle herds,
Calves and colts and baby chicks,
A dog that does ali sorts of tricks;
A cow to milk at close of day,
On Grandpa's ranch-Montana way!
A yellow moon, so big and bright,
Floats through a million stars at
night;
A meadowlark at break of dawn
Awakens you with CHEEKY song;
Already starts another day
On Grandpa's ranch they're making
hay!
Tractors, trucks, machinery
Of every kind for you to see;
Grandma's chicken is the best,
Corn-on-the-cob and all the rest
OF wondrous "eats"-"Oh boy" you
say,
son Grandpa's ranch I'd like TO

TO your book,

And feel the mystic September

" hat Haze We Lost?
Coodby, Country School
By BLANCHE WATSON

ALL NIGHT the snow came down,
silently and without wind. 1t stopped
before the reluctant winter sun crept
from behind the eastern hills to turn
the dead whiteness into a thing alive
with sparkling beauty.
The air cracked with frost and
the thick-mittened, f~elt-footed boy,
cheeks ruddy and eyes alert with
the joy of living was the only crea-
ture astir. In barns along the track
less road men and boys were doing
morning chores.
Soon the farmer who lived far
thest from the schoolhouse would
ride his horse along the road to
break q path for the smaller chill
dren.
The boy, almost Ii, had the job of
building the fire in the chunk stove
at the little schoolhouse and filling
the water pail from a well a quarter
mile down the road.
When the children came, the snow
would be caked IN their leggings and
the plank floor around the hot stove
wet with its melting. The teacher
let them steam and dry off some
before they took their seats. Their
underwear was a little damp but
they were rugged and healthy; the
knee-deep snow was an exciting
challenge, a thing to be conquered
and beaten by sheer human effort.
Red blood, strong muscular develop
ment and new powers of resistance
e the reward.
Now to School by Bus
That boy who plodded through
the snow to build the fire now has
a small daughter and an older son
who go to school the modern way.
AT 7:30 the school bus picks them up,
and off they go to the centralized
school nine miles distant over roads
scraped bare by mechanical equip
ment.
Since the bus is heated, their
clothing is light, and for exercise
there is supervised play in the big
gymnasium. Gone are the battered
water pail and the rusted dipper
hanging on a nail above it. Gone is
the pot-bellied stove with lunch
pals grouped around it to thaw ott
before noon recess.
Gone also is something else.

An Editorial
Judging House Plans

A YOUNG COUPLE with not
much money jingling in their pock-
cts wanted a home. Having been
married and having kept house for
only a short time, they had in mind
a lot of general things they wanted,
but they did not have a clear idea OF
many of the essential things.
Like most of us, they pictured a
large living with a fireplace,
a streamlined kitchen, a pastel bath
room and maybe an attached garage.
These young folks heard about q
house being built and went to see
1t. It was a beautiful location and
most any house on it would have
attracted attention. AS they looked
at the skeleton structure it appeared
to be their dream house, a large hv-
ing room with a picture window
overlooking the distant hills. The
ination to chrome stripping around
the counters. The bedrooms seemed
a bit small to be sure. There was to
be radiant heat, SO the utility room
off the kitchen took the place of q
basement. That seemed sensible.
When they found it was for sale
they were delighted. But being
provident young folks they asked an
older couple for their opinion. Being
sure their advice was really desired,
the older couple went through each
room and studied it for it's good and
bad points.
There was no coat closet near the
front door. There was only one lane
of traffic from the front door to bed
rooms and the kitchen. The closets
in the bedrooms were inadequate.
There was only n extra closet and
it was q small one in the hall for
linens.
The kitchen was all wrong. The
only spot for a dining table was
against the inside wall. Cupboards
and storage space were inadequate
for the kitchen and dining room
Measuring the utility room showed
there would not be space for the
laundry equipment, furnace and ho'
water heater. The garage would
barely house one car. 1t would b.
scarcely possible TO get out of tn,
back door when the ear was ia.
There was no provision for screens
storm windows, yard equipmen,
children's play things, nor was Their
a spot where the man of the hous
could pursue any carpentry or hobby
Without a basement, where woul
all the extra things around a hous
be keptf
This is not an exaggerated pictur,

develop initiative and resourceful-
ness. The new way, is of course
much better, generally speaking, but
the boy who built the fire often
feels that each day away from home
FROM 7:30 until S is too long for his
small girl.
1t is dark at both ends much of the
year and no time for outdoor play In
the NOW and invigorating cold he
loved as a boy. He has submitted
gracefully TO the idea that the adj
vantages far offset the disadvantages
and he r~ejoices in the many new
educational trends designed to equip
his children with a broader knowl-
edge.
The Golden Age?
This boy became a progressive,
successful farmer. He looks back
over his life and his fathers before
him and realizes that he has come
a long way. He notes his barn with
its mechanical equipment, his house
with its many labor-saving gadgets,
including the big home freezer
stocked TO the lid with the finest
food in the land, and realizes that
this is indeed the Golden Age for
rural people.
But in the back of his mind there
turks always, the nagging thought
that perhaps it has been a little
overdone. Has the machine age, he
wonders, robbed farm children OF
some of the qualities which made
them the strongest rural people of
ali time.
He regrets that the American
tendency to eagerly grasp new and
revolutionary ideas often swings the
pendulum too far. Tonight, for in
stance, Donnie must be taken back
to school right after supper to play
in a junior basketball game. Tomor-
row night both children must go
to a school musical in which each
plays an instrument. Ginny shows
considerable talent.
He and his wife are proud OF this,
bat the bus driver told him that the
long hill into town is icing up fast.
Maybe, he thinks to himself, distant
schools fed by busloads of children
drawn from these hills In the north
country are not the answer after
ali.

Montana farmer-stockman., 1949-09-01

During summer vacation In many
small towns there is a Youth Move
ment organization which provides
daily projects for children of all
ages. This program often holds over
through the school year, consuming
a~fter-school and Saturday leisure.
Then there are Scout meetings and
hikes, church-sponsored activities
and the inevitable Friday night and
Saturday afternoon movies, which
in the lives of most children have
become a fixed habit. The few hours
left owe must be spent on home
work, which Ia many schools begins
in third grade.
Where then, does home life and It's
steadyiag influence come IN?
