WE NEED BIG BUSINESS

(By OeOTge Feck)
 It has become favorite pastime of bureaucratic government to pick on Big Business One of the panies selected for the greatest bureaucratic lombard ment is the worlds largest steel manufacturer - the United States Steel Corporation
 One wonders how these bureaucrats overlook the splendid contribution made by U S. Steel during World War H. how they forget the of security every patriotic American felt that this corporation ready to supply much of the maerel necessary to de- feat our enemies.
 This giant company did not just into existence when the Japs struck at Pearl Harbor Flo many years prior thereto hundreds of thousands of investors had been pouring their savings into it's cofers its manage ment had been planning and building it's many plants developing it's "know-how, and training its army of workers.
 company proceeded to produce steel than all the steel mills of Germany and Japan combined Did at that time hear anyone complain that Limited States Steel too big?
 In one week during World War H. single U. S. Steel subsidiary produced enough stee lofr 1000 light medi um tanks another turned million anti aircraft shells 62 days ahead of schedule Did any of GIs at that time grumbe that Limited States Steel too big?"
 Hhose were but few of the many production mir acles performed by U S. Steel during World War H. In 1922, its board chairman Irving S. Olds said: Manage and workers of the United States Steel have coop crate in attaining these noteworthy productions results Both properly be proud of their joint contribution during the first year of the war"
 Yes, the American public was practially unanimous in it's belief that Big Business good business That is good for Americans Hitler and Hirohito however, did not share that enthusiastic approval; they found American Bib Business to be very bad.
 Surely, the lessons learned in past should have taught to keep Big Business strong and vigorous. While hope that again will we have to call Big Business to supply the sinews of war; let's have it tap AS matter of fact enemies will think long and hard before tangling with nation that keeps it's potential powder dry by encouraging rather than a tempting to disrupt, Big Business.

THE WORLD OWES ME A LIVING

(Mt. Sterling, Ohio, Tribune)
 Before this idea of ''the World owes me a living" cathes too universally let's look at the record: What governmental agency it that assured Abra- ham Lincoln "crade to the grave security"
 Under what social legislation Benjamin Frank lin enabled go to Philadelphia and set up printing shop?
 What federal aid and control made the Westward moving pioneers secure against hardships?

If you continue to borrow the $lOO month after month the inter / est soon bites deeply into your in- come and the debt itself becomes bigger and bigger. The result, in time, is bankruptcy, if repayment cannot be made. The court ap- points a receiver empowered to sell your property. In the result ing liquidation, your creditors us- ually are left holding near-em- pty bag. And you wind up paul per, your family destitute. That's ' deficit financing" for an individ- ual, and the government deficit financing has many similarities. When permitted to continue in definitely, it must always end in ruin.
 Ii Grows and Spreads
 American citizens have their whole future at stake in the is sue of whether their government shall practice deficit financing in good times as well as bad. The practice already has become cpl demic. Census Bureau figures published in the Congressional Quarterly show that not only has our Federal government operated on borrowed money in 18 of the past 20 years but B of our 48 states are being affected with the disease too. That many overspent their revenues last year.
 The practice, if prolonged by the r, Federal government, can have but one result: ruination, caused by the government finally defaulting on its securities or destroying monetary values by runaway in- flation. A reliable veteran observ- CT in Washington made the state ment recently that he was con- vinced influential Federal govern ment leaders now are definitely committed to a prolonged policy of deficit financing and with it, ' gradual imitation.
 The Harsh Facts
 Fed American, apparently, are awaye they are paying more than five times as much in taxes today 10 meet the interest payment on the national debt (caused by defi- cit spending) as the entire Federal government cost in the year 1915. Tn the national debt of $256 billion is increased by year-after-year deficit spending, the inteerst, along with other government costs, will finally become unbear- able to taxpayers and otherwise manageable by fiscal manipula- 4 tiOnS.
 Then would come a default on gover nment obligations, and moans from the millions of peo- pie holding government securities; or panic imitation engineered by frightened office holders. An abrupt imitation, drastically low ering the value of the dollar, would permit payoff on the se- curities but the payoff would be mockery, mere fraction of the securities original value; and the value of savings, insurance, annN 'ities, wages, pensions, etc., would sink. The gradual imitation which is inevitable with any prolonged deficit financing brings the same end result but the damage isn't at once apparent; it sneaks up on vo,, Voc ssdeficit financinq''

Whether we can claim any Irish
blood or not, We all like to get
on the band wagon and make
some show of celebrating st. Pat
rick's Day. OF course, the chill
dren in the family will adore it if
you serve a green dessert so they
can compare notes with their
school buddies. An easy one that
takes little time to fix is made of
lime-f1avored gelatin.
There are any number of ways
OF doing this but if you're fresh
out of ideas you might try it
this way for change. Dissolve a
package of lime gelatin accord
ing to the directions on the pack
age. Pour half of the mixture
into lightly oiled, small pan.
Oiling the pan makes 1t very easy
to unmold, no dipping in warm
water to get the gelatin to slide
out. Chill this portion until firm
and then cut in small cubes. Fill
dessert dishes two-thirds full of
remaining mixture and chill.
Whip cup of cream and fold in
half cup of macaroon crumbs.
Pile this on top of the mixture in
the dessert glasses and garnish
with the small cubes. Looks fes-
tive and very party-ish.
Before the weather started play
ing tricks on us I used to measure
spring when the first forsythia
burst into bloom. That sign failed
this year but we know spring is
here when green spears of aspara-
gus and rosy-pink stalks of rhu-
barb show up in the markets. As
paragus is still in the expensive
class and will continue to be
until the supply gets heavier. Hot
house rhubarb. however, is rea-
sonable and the supply is plenti-
ful. The next time you make
rhubarb sauce, bake it. To 2
pounds of fresh rhubarb, add ~
cups brown sugar, 2 tablespoons
water and mere sprinkling of
salt. Cut the rhubarb into 1-inch
length pieces. Place all the ingre-
dents in a covered casserole and
bake IN a moderate oven for 80
to As minutes.
Green beans are cheaper than
they have been and the quality is
excellent. Iceberg lettuce from
Arizona is just fair rs far as
quality is concerned, but It's the

Report to the + housewife

Raleigh first grew the spud there
in 1885. Still another acclaims
Sir Francis Drake as the potato
hero. But it's no legend that the
Irish were among the first to give
the potato it's due. Seems the
climate and soil of Erin are par
ticularly adapted to the cultiva-
ton of potatoes. It's on the rec
ord. too, that the Irish sent the
cultivated potato to this country.
Newcomers from Ireland to Lon
donderry, N. H.. carried along po-
tatoes when they came to New
England in 1719.
Remove stains made In table
cloths right after the meal. The
longer the stain stands the harder
it will be to get 1t out.

TO STORE FURS.
From Mrs. P. H. R., Washington.J
This is in reply to Miss B. j. M.
of Cheverly who wanted to stow
away her fur scarf. An article,
with pictures, in the March, 1948,
issue of Better Homes and Gar
dens, entitled What Aluminium
Foil Can Do for YOU" says: "It
wraps sweaters and furs. Demoth
clothing, then wrap carefully in
foil. A double fold seals the edges
for thorough protection"
Aluminium foil is wonderful and
certainly has endless ways of be-
ing useful.
(From Mrs. J. B. A., Alexandria,
This may sound silly, but I at
tended demonstration of plastic
articles recently and when a lovely
tipped vegetable bag was dis

HOBBY?
(From V. I. NJ, Cheuerlp.)
I should like to tell about an
inexpensive and gratifying hobby
for housewives and especially
young mothers who feel that their
job is all work and no play.
I purchase four scrap books and
some glue in the ten cent store.
Then I save the women's sections
from the Evening Star. I keep one
drawer of the buffet just for these
papers. I marked one scrap book
Beauty Hints" another Teen
Ayers" another Readers Clear
ing House" and the last one An
gelo Patri." Any night when I
feel that I need relaxation, I get
out my books and papers and clip
the articles and put them into the
book or books. This may seem
like kid stuff but believe me, I
have found 1t very rewarding. I
lend out my books to any one who
will enjoy them. Other times I
just sit and read back on articles
that I have forgotten.
Another relaxing and inexpen-
sive hobby for children or mother
is the f1gurines and paints that
are being featured in the dime
stores at this time. For couple
of dollars you can buy enough
supplies to get started and then
you can buy more f1gurines as
you go along. Every one (espe-
cially the home maker) should
have some hobby for their free
time.

Surplus Plane Wheels, Shafts
OHered for Derby Coasters

A new development to make
construction Of the Soap Box
Derby racer easier was announced
today by an airplane manufac-
turer.
Robert Sanders, president of
Sanders Aviation. Inc, Riverdale.
Md. says he has several hundred
surplus steering wheels and shafts
commonly used in Ercoupe planes.
The steering wheels are semi
circular and about eight inches in
diameter. They are black plastic
coated and are attached to a re-
movable chrome plated shaft an
inch in diameter and 1S inches
long.
Offered For IS Cents.
Mr.. Sanders said boys who want
the assemblies for Soap Box Derby
racers may buy them for IS cents.
This is the cost If the set is bought
at the plant at ERGO Field, River
dale, Md. He said the company
will mail the set for IS cents. The
address is Box 26, Riverdale.
The sets conform to the official
1850 rules, which prohibit cut
down automobile assemblies but
make no mention of airplanes.
This is just one way in which
boys are being aided this year in
racer construction. The Chevrolet
Dealers Association has provided
20 sets of free axles and wheels
for boys who cannot afford them.
In addition, sponsors for needy
boys can be contacted through
