QUESTION: Why do pious
Jews remove the knife from the
table before reciting the grace
after the meal? Why is this not
done on the Sabbath or holidays?
ANSWER: A number of inter
esting reasons are offered for this
strange custom. Some believe the
custom originated. from the fact
that the Jewish table is always
to be considered as replica of
the Altar. The Jewish home, as
we have said before, was always
regarded as a facsimile of the
Temple of Old.
A strange Biblical requirement
ordered the people of Israel not
to lift metal over the Altar. The
commentaries explained this pro-
hibition by saying that the Altar
was intended as a means of pro-
longing life by bringing forgive
ness and favor to the individual
and the multitude. In contrast,
metal, was regarded as an nipple

"BAhk INITIATION" is
RIDING AGAIN

CHICAGO-(CNS) While Con-
gress and the Administration tangle
over price controls. a little-under-
stood phenomenon - creation of
money by the banks-spurs the real
inflationary spiral.
A commercial bank, unlike any
other business, can manufacture
money in the form of checking ac-
count deposits. A borrower receives
a "loan" by signing one piece of
paper promising to pay the bank a
certain sum on a certain date, and
the banker enters on another piece

er's checking account. This sort of
money making" has been happen
ing at an alarming rate since Korea.
In Chicago, where the public is up
IN arms at rising rent, milk, trans
portation and meat prices, the Fed
eral Reserve Bank this week report
ed staggering rise of 26.5 per cent
in loans to individuals and corpora
tions by member banks in the Chicago
Reserve district during the year end
ing June 80. This represents a dol
lar increase of $1A billion, the larg-
est ever recorded in a one year pc
riod. By far the largest rise was in
the biggest banks where most of
the loans to corporations are made.
The smallest banks increased their
loans less than 6 per cent.
And while the Administration rails
Congress- sabotage of the price con-
trolls program, the U. S. Treasury
has aided the initiation by renewing
its policy of keeping most of its
funds from tax and bond receipts
on deposit in commercial banks. These
Treasury deposits in local banks

aged we'll over So billion so far this
year. This means that the local banks
have that much more as a basis for
lending than if the money were held
in the Treasury's account in the Fed

MEMBERSHIP In FARM
CO-OPS CONTINUES
UPWARD CLIMB

WASHINGTON, D. C.-(CNS)-
Membership in farmers marketing
and purchasing co-operatives continu-
ed to increase during the 1949-50
marketing season, according to esti-
mates just released by the Farm
Credit Administration. Such member
ships have now reached nearly 6.6
million, climb of 100000 over the
previous year. This increase is, how
ever, considerably less than the half
million increase annually reported
for the previous four years.
On the basis of the latest census
figure of 5.4 million farms, and
allowing for Implications because
many farmers are members of more
than one cooperative, the Farm Cred
it Administrator estimates that at
least three out of every five farm
ers now are members of these market
ing and purchasing association.
Volume of business of farmers
marketing and purchasing co-opera-
.tives for 1949-50 is estimated at $8.7
billion. This was a decline of nearly
$500 million in volume of business
from the 1948-49 figure. The decline
is attributed largely by the FCA to
the corresponding decline in farm
prices during the 1949-50 crop year.
A breakdown of this business showed
the combined marketing business of
all associations running to $6.5 bill
lion and the combined purchasing bus
mess of all associations to 1922 bill
lion.
Largely because of some consoli-
dation of small associations, the num-
Der of marketing and purchasing CO.
operatives declined from 10,075
year earlier, to 10,035.
AS in previous years, Minnesota
and the North Central regions led
in cooperative business and num-
Der of associations. However, Illi-
nois came to the front for the states
in number of memberships. Califor-
mia ranked second in volume of bust
ness.

Unless the folks back home" take their

OIL, MOTOR PROFITS
keep ON CLIMBING

WASHINGTON, D. C.-(CNS)-
Profit-takers made money a lot fast
er in oil refining and in motor We
hicles last year than they did in 1910.
In the prewar year, rate of refinery
return after taxes was only 81 per
cent, a Federal Trade Commission
survey shows. But in 1850 the rate
had scared to 1913 per cent.
In motor vehicles the take was
even greater. In 1910, rate of re-
turn was 17.3 per cent-pretty high.
But in 1850 it was a fantastic 31.7
per cent.
The ETC survey of $40 identical
corporations in 25 major industries
showed that only tobacco products
makers had lower profit rates in
1850 than a decade earlier. All the
others were higher. And in all but
six of the 25, 1850 profit rates also
showed an increase over 1949.
Big jumps in profit rates were
shown by makers of matches, in
dustrial chemicals, rayon, and flat
glass and glassware. Dairy products
profit rates were hiked from ga per
cent in 1910 to 1873 in 1850; bread
from 7:6 per cent to 14.6 per cent;
and tires and tubes from 9 to III
per cent.

department of agriculture, headed by
Commissioner Alfred R. Anderson,

duce a direct cut in the spending that tends
to boost prices. Big tax increases in the up
per brackets tend to drain off money that
would go in savings
In other words, the senators favoring this
plan believe it's all right for the big income
people to have enough money SO they can
save some, but that the lower income earners
must be prevented from accommodating any
savings. You don't have to think very deeply
on that one to realize that populace without
savings is at the mercy of those who have saw
ings.
There's no equality of sacrifice in such
a program, but vicious device to drain the
blood of those who do not have it for the fur
ther cushioning of those that do have it and
do not need it.
If the American public does not let it's
voice be heard in powerful and irresistible
opposition to such line of reasoning then
it must be that it is willing to be kicked around
and rampled.-MINNESOT LABOR, CLIO.

MONTANA BUSINESS OPERATED AT HIGH LEVEL 81
DURING FIRST half OF 1851

MISUNDERSTANDING to the Aug
ust 1851 issue Of "Montana Bust
ness" monthly publication of the
Bureau of Business and Economic Re-
search, Montana State University,
Montana business operated at high
levels during the first six months of
1861, although by June there APP
peared to be some evidence of a
slackening off.
Nonagricultural employment was
substantially greater during the first
half of the year than in 1850 and in
June was the highest on record for
that month, with an estimated 153,-
900 persons at work in nonfarm oc-
equations. A short labor supply, how
ever, threatens to reduce seasonal
increases later in the year. Carload
ings declined seasonally from May
to June but for the first six months
of 1851 have been the highest for
any corresponding period since 1915.
Commercial and industrial power con-
sumption in Montana thus far in 1851
has also been higher than for any
year on record, probably because of
increased mine production and smelt-
ing.
General store sales were above
1850 for all months except April and
have held up better during May and
June in the state than in the nation.
Much of the increase in volume, how
ever, has been a result of higher
prices. During future months, sales
are likely to drop below 1850 lev
els, because of the heavy buying
which took place last year after the
outbreak of the Korean War. Bank
debts in Montana were 16.5 per
cent higher for the first six months
of 1851 than for the corresponding
period in 1850, although they failed
to increase as much as in the country
as a whole.

IMPORTANCE OF REVIEW
Impetus behind having a review of
family farm programs at this time
stems from the shifting of American
production from peacetime to mill
tary economy. Increasing manpower
and machinery shortages. the grow
ing trend toward corporation farm
ing, coupled with the realization that
efficient production on the family
sized farm is of major Importance
to the nations strength. are some of
the contributing factors in bringing
about the decade-long delayed re-
view of family farm problems.
The compilation of well-rounded
county reports should be of major
interest to Farmers Union people
since il provides an opportunity for
them to discuss their long-range fam
lily farm program with other agri-
cultural groups, and to have same in
corporated into county and state sum-
marizations for action by the Depart
ment of Agriculture and the con-
gress.

Norway, unless additional funds
for expenses are forthcoming
within a week.

He said only $21 900 has been
raised to date. The winter games
are scheduled for February 14-15.
I'VE feel it unwise to enter a
team unless skiers can get required
training" Hill said. THE only
alternative would be to reduce the
size of the team drastically."
Originally, the committee
planned to send a squad of 81 by

Welterweight George Flores of

Compulsory Count Helps.
The NBA pointed out that there
were no deaths under the jurisdic-

One of the major safety meas
ures contributing to the decline of
pro fatalities was the 8-second
compulsory count. the association
said. Under this regulation a
contestant f1oored by his opponent
must take the count of eight.
"The purpose is to keep a man
from being struck when he arises
by animal instinct with impaired
reflexes," the association ex-
