PUBLIC RELATIONS sERYE THE PUBL1C

In the olden days you could buy daily news
paper for one or two cents. 1t was a small sheet
The other day ] bought Sunday edition of
new YORK neWspaper-and it cost me twenty-five
cents l turned the pages over and over and found
enough advertising to pay the publishers all costs
publicity agents" made early connections with
the public. Big and small business corporations
tossed in their cOpy-sOme of it was tainted but
most of it related the facts about subjects of public
interest.
Today, the metropolitan newspapers rely upon
members of their staff who are capable of inter-
preting tough problems of the nation the war and
communism They explain why there are wars in
Korea and the sudden Importance of the Chinese
whose principal usefulness in the United States
remain in the washee-washee business.
NauOnal advertisers who take a page of space
IN the paper naturally want to prove that they sell
the best quality of goods at the lowest prices These
advertisers depend on the Public Relations experts
who say nice things about worthy good and mer-
chandse
You've got to take off your hats to these rnen-
they analyZe and examine the claims of the inst-
tutions and give the public service.
Ihe Public Relations profession started in a
small way 1t was developed by coumnists editorial
writer's, and newspaper correspondents who knew
ther way around, and who told 'the truth the whole
truth and nothing but the TRUTH They stated facts
that won the o. K. of publishers and editors In
snort they backed up proper advertising They or
sahized new and valuable profession, because they
MADE no attempts to deceive the public by such
WOrn-out schemes that were devised and practiced
by the fellows called publicity writer's"

ownership OF stocks is now pretty we'll spread over
all the elements of our population. In fact am
certain that the percentage of wageworkers who
are actually stockholders is very large It is no
longer rare to find even labor unions investing in
industrial stocks; they know that now an addi-
uOnal investment of close to $4,000 is needed to
give a new man a job
WHY BLAME MANUFACTURERS
When costs go up, there is a widespread tend
eRcy to make manufacturers and storekeepers the
scapegOats, just there is false notion that the
latter receive disproportionate share of the retail
price Doubtless distribution system is waste
full in some respects; but it has gone a long way
in the creation of the mass markets which make
possible mass production
do wish that more people knew how this dis
tributon system ticks and how much il costs For
example: Bread and a number of other food pro-
ducts cost much more to market than the part of
the total retail price to consumers which the farm
er, the miller and the baker receive Everyone
should realize that good slice of the cost of every
item consists of taxes, transportation, rent, and
salesmen's wages. These expenses are not subject
to daily or weekly changes are raw materials
SUGGESTED REMEDY
No single group is entirely to blame for high
costs and high prices. The chief culprit is govern
ment, but we all share in the blame for govern
ments mistakes. Year by year. larger and larger
sums of money are being taken away from distri-
buting organizations through taxes. Far too much
of this tax money has been and is even now being
spent in functions which increase the cost-ofving
This can lead to the kind of socialism which
has put once powerful England in the sorry plight
where she is today. This same policy is killing our
incentive and will demoralize our whole employ
ment structure if do not force our political
bureaucrats to abandon it. We became great
nation because we were willing to continually in
vest more money in productive purposes We were
eager to risk our savings because there was hope
OF profit We must not permit government to de-
sroy that profit motive for that would lead to the
destruction of the nation itself

FORTY MILLION VOTERS


Nelther the Democrats nor the Republicans on
dorsed the worst speech of the campaign-even
though it was delivered by the President of the
United States.
Nelther capital nor labor swallowed his advice
All this indicated why there was more independent
Young than IN any previous years. Perhaps no po-
hucal leader in recent history has done poorer
service to his country than President Truman The
Republicans came within just few votes of winning
a Senate majority.
Senator Robert A. Taft leader of the Republican
opposition to the Presidents foreign and domestic
program was reelected in Ohio despite the concen
tration against him of the National Union Labor
Organlzauon-and of course the Truman marty
Senator Millard E. Tydings a political veteran
OF 0lstlncton in Maryland lost out in his state
Governor Thomas E. Dewey was reelected nv
Republican voters in New York Governor Chester
Bowles OF Connecticut noisy Fair Dealer was de-
teated. Alexander Wiley was returned for another
term as Wisconsin Senator. Governor Warren of
California was reelected as the Roosevelt potical
kin IN California lost out. Senator Lucas of Illinois
conceded defeat to Dirksen. James H Duff Renub
lcan defeated Senator Francis J. Myers in Penn
syvania. " oAii
AND so the voters of the country actually de-
manded different kind. and better kind of gov
ernment for the United States of America.

THIS CRIME DOESN'T PAY

Arson is one of the most despicable of
all crimes. And it is a crime which must
be continually fought by specialists who
know the arsonist and his ways. The Ma
tional Board of Fire Underwriters, for ex-
ample, employs a team of 100 arsOn-detec-
tiOn experts. Their chief was head of the
FBl during World War /, and more than q
third OF them are former members of the
FBl. In all cases, they work in close COOP
Grafton with local fire and police depart
ments. Their major successes include break
ing up Chicago arson ring which set over
go fires, destroyed 100000 worth of prop
erty, and killed two people in the process
Twenty-Five convictions were obtained. In
another instance, they got the goods on a
broker who induced his chauffeur to set fire
to his palatial home and used the insurance
money to recOup stock market losses. The
Indictment was obtained Just "a hours be-
fore the statute of limitations would have
blocked action. Arrests for arson in which
the National Board squad has participated
have averaged two a day for every working
day over the past five years. This fight
against arson benefits everyone The honest
pOlicyholder, obviously, loses when insur-
ance money is obtained in a crooked man.
ner-the insurance rate is based upon losses.
Far more important, the arsOniSt always
imperils the life and property of innocent
people. And the arson gangs, made up of
professionals, represent crime of the worst
type. The way to reduce arson fires is tO
make it plain that the crime doesn't pay.
That's what the National Board squad,
working with law enforcement authorities,
is doing.

toned to them and to the consumer. The
business becomes purely mechanical, and
there is no incentive to lower prices to
better service or to do any of the other
things which are normal part of the func-
tioning of the competitive economy. Worst
OF all it seems pretty evident that some of
those who are urging price and other con-
trOls as an emergency measure, hope to
make them permanent part of our economic
system: Should that happen, government
would be absolute master of the economy

CGrUeI Is Expected
To Name WOLcOf
As Chancellor
continued from nrst passl

The third appointment is of the
associate judge for Kent County.
Judge Charles L. Terry, Jr., whose
term expires on December z, is
expected to be reappointed.
Governor Carvel is expected to
announce his choices for the Judi
cial appointments at the time he
calls the special session OF the
Senate. This would conform with
the proposed amendment to the
state Constitution, which would re-
quire 10 days advance notice of
judicial appointments before con-
firmation. The amendment, spon-
sOred by the Carvel administration,
was passed by the 1949 session OF
the General Assembly. It is ex-
pected to become part of the states
basic law at the 1851 session.
The governor followed that poll
icy in announcing his selection of
Judge Wolcott. to succeed former
Judge George Burton Pearson, Jr.,
when the latter resigned last De-
cember. AT that time, he issued a
proclamation convening the Senate
and sent letters to the members in
forming them his appointee would
be Judge Wolcott.
If Judge Wolcott is appointed
as political observers firmly pre-
dict he will become the third
member Of his family to serve as
chancellor of the State of Della
ware.
His father, Josiah o. Wolcott,
served as chancellor from 1921 un-
til his death in 1888. He resigned
from the U. S. Senate to accept
appointment as chancellor.
Judge Wolcott's grandfather.
James L. Wolcott, was chancellor
from 1892 until 1895, when he re-
signed.
A successors to Judge Wolcott
as associate judge at large would
be appointed to full 12-year term.
The salary Of a Judge is $4,000
year.

Veterans Planning
Kiddie Xmas Party
Continued from nrst page,

ACuuIulueu from utSt pagel
man Anstine has already complet-
ed some of the plans for this AFFAIR.
While a definite date for this
years Christmas party has not, as
yet, been set, it is most likely that
the V. F. W.-spOnsored affair will
be held in Blue Hen Posts new
home, near here, on the afternoon
of Saturday, Dec 23rd.
AS was the case in 1949, the post
home will be appropriately decOra-
ted for the party with a we'll
lighted tree and all the trimmings
associated with Christmas time.
Old Santa, of course, will be there,
and he will again have with him
truck load of gifts and good
things to eat
Roy Mccullough and other mem
bers of the committee have already
began a canvass of local merchants,
seeking their help in supplying
Santa's many needs. Members of
the post, the ladies auxiliary, and
Puptent No. 4, NJ o. c., will be
asked to supply some of the toys
and refreshments, as we'll as assist
in decorating the home and in
transporting kiddies from their
homes to the post home and return.
Preparations are being made for
the transporting and entertaining
of over 100 underprivileged kid
dies; as in previous years, the
names. of needy children will be
obtained from state, school, and
Red Cross sources. In order that
no underprivileged child may be
overlooked, the committee is re-
questing that local residents, know
ing of a home containing an under
privileged .child-or one, likely,
through some circumstance or
other, to be "by-passed" by Santa
contact the committee chairman at
Milford $685. or the post adjutant
at Milford 1851, so that transpor-
tatiOn for the child or children
may be provided.
Also, anyone, veteran or non
veteran, caring to contribute to the
party fund, may do so by contact
ing Chairman Anstine, Post Adju-
tant Dave Hugg or Commander
West. The cooperation of every
Milford citizen or organization, in
terested in the welfare and we'll
being of the areas less fortunate
kiddies, is being solicited.
The 1949 v. F. W.-sponsored
Christmas Party was most success
full with we'll over 100 underprivi-
legged children being transported

TIE FUNCTION OF PRICES

Free prices perform enormously useful
functions which direct controls are designed
to destroy. Free pricing helps to conserve
scarce supplies by cutting down less essen
tial and marginal uses; it stimulates the
elimination of waste, it encourages more
production, and it encourages the develop
ment and use of substitutes. It is a great
conserver. Price control, by making things
appear cheaper and more plentiful than they
really are, encourages wasteful use and con-
sumption Of scarce items, to say nothing of
the enormous waste of manpower operating
the controls. In free market, prices find
their proper level-a level which is deter
mined by wage and material costs, by the
supply and demand situation of the moment,
and by other such natural economic forces.
And, Of very great Importance, the free
market is the only one which nurtures and
protects our competitive system. AS an ex-
ample, IN a controlled market all retailers
sell their wares at prices which are deter
mined BY government fiat. Stocks are ra-

He is the one who has to produce pay

guns on the firing line.
