which, it is explained will be their
living and working quarters at
Kaesong.
Meanwhile, U. N. troops storm
ing Mount Yaeu were being hurled
back by savage, hard-fighting
enemy, and Governor Thomas E.
Dewey of New York was touring
the front, and at one of the three
Army Corps Headquarters he visit
ed, the band struck up "The Side
walks of New York..
Also Meanwhile, in the House Of
Representative i'm Washington,
Rep. Leslie c. Arends (Rep.) Of
Illinois, speaking of conditions at
Kaesong, charged that "every time
the Truman Administration enters
a situation like this it is Out-witted,
Out-maneuvered and ,Out-negOtiat-
ed" And Mr.. Arends went on to
say: "We should ask ourselves If
these events are a prelude to
another Yalta."
Did The Economic Planners FORGET
The Boston Tea-Party2
The coOlness of New England
business leaders to the report on
their section, made by President
Truman's Council of Economic Ad-
visOrs, is voiced by Nicholas E.
Peterson. a Boston banker.
"The government is solicitOus of
New England's welfare" said Mr..
Peterson, but some of us fear that
its embrace can lead to strangu-
lation Of free enterprise. Innumer-
able surveys by the Federal
Government have been made of this
region, all on the theory that papa
knows best and can cure our ills" 4"
Describing the report as dan
gerous", Mr.. Peterson pointed out
that the greater part Of the recon-
mendations made by the federal
do-gOoders urged government in
volYement. Instead Of listening n
the siren invitation tn hop them
selves to federal cash. Mr.. Peter
son would like tn SEQ New EngIapd
lead the parade for the elimination
Milford chronicle., 1951-07-20

of waste and corruption in govern
ment.
Cutting seven billions from the
federal budget, Mr.. Peterson thinks,
would do more for New England,
and the rest of the country as well.
Meanwhile, in Washington, Chair
man Walter F. George Of the Senate
Finance Committee was calling for
five to six billion dollar budget
cut, and cut of two and half to
three billions in the ten billion jol.
lar tax increase the President has
asked for.
And in New York, food professors
were borrowing money to enable
them to carry seasonal overhead
especially in the rapidly expanding
frozen food business. In explaining
the food mems position, Paul S.
Willis, president of the Grocery
Manufacturers Association said:
Under the present tax structure
it is impossible for any food COM
pany, or any other company for
that matter, to accumulate out Oi
profits the kind of working capita,
needed in these fluid times"
So it would seem that New Eng
land, or some American community
had better start parade back K
saner economics. And perhaps thii
famous, or infamous, New Eng

planners, with its cynical premis,
that New Englanders might as wei

AS the management Of the Anglo
Iranian Oil Company planned to
close down the seventh of the ten

nous Abadan refinery in Iran, the
Iranians proudly announced plans
for a new embassy in Washington.
With the golden flow of oil cut

responsibilities, even where the
British have requested them to do
so, we can't help wondering how
they expect to pay for the modern
lied Interpretation of Iranian arch
itecture" that two American arch

The British believe the Iranian
indifference toward assuming the
new responsibilities that have

It may only be because the Russian

Herbert took Roy to the State
Road Station Of the State Police,
where papers IL Roy's pockets gave
his true identity.
The eseapee, described as a "diF-

with the restraining straps because
Of his inclination to attack persons.

in the fourth year Of their college

until after the storm, when smoke
was seen coming through the roof.
First belief was that the flames
were confined to the chimney but
when flremen arrived they found
that the blaze had made consider
able headway in the roof. Al huge
hole was burned through the roof
and there was some damage to the
attic floor and water damage with

Electric Line HIT
The second Dover fire was at the
home of Mrs, Sophie Bell on
Slaughter Street, west of the rail-
road. Firemen expressed relief that
lightning struck an extension cord
running from the porch to the
house, ran along the cord through
the window. igniting a venetian
blind The alarm was given during
the peak of the storm and firemen
responded in the midst of the
downpour.
The most serious of the fires
caused in the state occurred on
Sugar Stick Road, near Masten's
Corner, outside Harrington, where
barn, struck by lightning, burst
into flames and was described.
Damage was estimated at $1,000.

blaze on two sonarate occasions.

However, the tenant farmer put in
another call for firemen when the
fire again broke out half an hour
later. The damage included both

All electric power from George
town to Gravel Hill was cut when
lightning pierced a transformer
case and limbs broke wires. House
service in the area was restored

The above my fathers advice and he would
sometimes add "The live merchant who cleans up
his bank loans once each year and puts half his
profits back into the business can't helm but sue

covering for a successful store consists of the

WHAT ABOUT MERCHANDISE INvESTMENTSY
First I would advise young man TO have
store in small city. Likewise advise investors to
put their money into helping to build m local
independent store, rather than in the stock Of any
big department store Of some large citv. If you
can't invest money in such local store then buy
stock of one Of the good chain stores operating in
your town It may be one of the grocery chains

gives the advantage Of diversihcatoa both of mer-
chandse and locality Most such ,chains have ex-
celIent management and no debt The stock of all
are listed Stock Exchange: if you buy into one
which has a store in your own community, you can
keep an eye on what it is doing
WHAT ABOUT INFLATIGNg
Dollars may decline in purchasing power until
they reach 25 cents If World War III should come
dollars could go even lower. Hence, it is common
sense to have your money in good merchandise
rather than in cash government bonds But, in
sst upon investing in those stores with an annual
turnover of four to seven times year, and which
charge of to every article held more than one
year.
The live merchant-chain or independent-has
nothing to fear if he follows the above rules using
his profits to improve his store and buying only
quck-selling goods. Or, he can use his profits to
open another store in adjoining community, put
ting in charge thereof the best clerk in his present
local store. This not only makes a success Of the
new branch but also serves as an incentive to all
employees Such policy will soon make you
chain owner.
WORD TO CHILDREN
Let me add word Of advice to young people
boys and girls-whose father has good store
Learn to know and serve in your fathers store
Follow my example and work there during vaca-
tions and Saturdays This is the way I started and
today-with my savings alone-apart from my reg

store-free Of debt and with good wilP established
by extensive advertising and good service Such
store is safer and more profitable investment than
any bonds or mortgages that your father may have
