More particularly, these statements have tended to
create the impression that farm returns unreasonaby

They also imply that the parity pricing standard for
farm products chiefly blame for the rising cost of living
Most people in Caldwell consider income in terms of
wages, salaries interest their investment.

THE HOUR is LATE

The Brass Hats" of Federal Government repeatedly
sound the alarm about the dangers of initiation They
ready to do anything and everything effort to
check the nflaonary SPIRAL except to grappe realistically
with the root causes.
The number actuating behind initiation is the
huge outlay of Federal expenditures which may exceed
$75 billion in the next fiscal year-an equal
total national income in 1889. r-.~ -
Most economists agree that government economy the
first necessary step toward combating initiation 1t is esma
ed that Federal could be by $40 billion by emna
ing waste and extravaganza But the Administration shows
no inclination to make any effort in that direction and
thereby sets bad example the dear people" whom
calls upon tighten their belts Taxpayers have every right
to insist that the Government practice what breaches by
Tightening it's belt.
With Federal debt at the staggering level of $255
billion it is essential that the Federal Government operate

already heavy tax burden Taxes the effective
of checking rising since they sphon off surplus
funds The sad thing is that poor well
the rich will have to be soaked in order check
about 70 of dsposabe income and account for about
the same proportion OF spending Therefore, to
curb nflatonary forces this group must share eaut
able basis in the additional tax levies to be imposed
Commercial banks have embarked upon voluntary
campaign to cut down loans not related to the defense

THE AMERICAN WAY
PARTNER IN CRIME

The forces of initiation which
today are straining the frame
work of our economy are the
demands of labor for higher
and higher rate for time as the
measure of its productivity and
of management for a higher and
higher unit profit as measure
of its earning power. Neither
demand can sidestep the other
but each is no less determined to
assert itself, regardless of the
final outcome. The result is ire
sponsible violence to the party
of the other part-and to all
parties caught between.

Make Life Beautiful 90.
BY James Sullivan

Have you ever stopped and
tried to see yourself as other
people see you? Or have you ever
made a recording of your voice
and listened to it? 1t was hard to
recognize, wasn't it? This is one
way we can find out how much
we really know about ourselves.
We are the ones we live with,
yet we are strangers to our
selves.
This is not a suggestion that
we go around thinking about
ourselves all the time, but it is
sign or a signal that we should
heed and take inventory of what
we have.
Most of us live in a small way.
mean spiritually, because we
are so easily defeated. We have
powers in US that have never
been touched. These hot days will
try the best of us. Here is a sug-
gestion that will work. Just try
relaxing at least five minutes of
every hour. You'll be ahead. In
stead of standing, sit down and
better still, lie down. Just relax
every muscle and nerve for five
minutes and you'll be amazed at
how refreshed you will feel. This
is a simple way to rest. Try il
and you'll live longer, and get
more done. Most of us have never
learned to rest.
Possibly you wonder how !
know this will work. The army
can't be wrong. You've heard the
expression, Take a five minute
break" Well, that's it.
There is no better way to make
life beautiful, when one is tired,
then to rest. May we learn to do
it, as we earn the privilege. We
work to live. So why not live
while we work? You will become
better acquainted with yourself,
and use powers you never knew
you had.

American way of life depends.
Both labor and management,
it seems, have turned from their
economic and social responsibility
of producing the most of the best
for the least and have embarked
upon a wild project of producing
the least of the best for the most.
The current attitude on both
sides seem to be "me first, and
the other guy take the hindmoSt."
The danger is not to be mini
mized, for stronger and stronger
governmental action is daily
being called for. Economic
StabiliZer Eric Johnston has
declared himself in no uncertain
language that thus far 1--WE have
only seen the smoke of initiation, ~
that "the real fires are now get
ting hot" To which l add: Con-
trolls or no controls, unless we,
the American people, pull our
selves together and do some
thing pretty definite to curb in
flation, this nation of ours can
very easily 60 to blazes. Unless
] we move with character to
preserve our American way of
life, we may very well be paw
ing the way for our American
way of death.

Penrod, P-E-N-R-O-D, come in
here this minute and practice on
that piano. All NOM l got ball
game this afternoon. That makes
no difference you will not play
that silly game until you practice
this music.
I'm sure you are familiar with
phrases something like this in
Booth Tarkington's, "Penrod." "
Actually the closest Penrod ever
came in contact with such an
incident was in a neighborhood
play. But this is typical of thous-
ands of young men scattered
across the world, and | am no ex-
ception. In my younger years /
devoted an hour of my precious
time each week trying my best
to set the music teacher insane.
Turning to the serious side in
round about way am getting
to the piano recital of Mrs.
Cynthia Elson's piano students,
held in the Presbyterian church
June %.
Mrs. Elson was kind enough to
lend me her program, however,
because of the large number of
students participating in the
recital, So including those who
were unable to perform because
of various difficulties. | shall not
try to mention them all but just
hit the high spots.
The opening number was
Merry Matanzie by Dawn Carol
Johnson and was followed by
fifteen numbers presented by the
younger groups.
Continuing on through the pro-
gram we come to the Dance
groupe presented by little older
class of children, these numbers
consisted mostly of waltzes.
Next we come to a classical
groupe with the music written
by some of the greatest compos-
ers Beethoven, Mozart, Hayden,
This was presented by a mixed
groupe of old and young.
So far in the program all of the
pieces have been played by
girls, we certainly do not want
to omit the boys, so they present
ed the next nine numbers rang
ing from Boogie Woogie to
marches. --.r.
The final groupe of numbers
fall in religious category with
two versions of Ave Maria, d
negro spiritual, and various
religious songs.
The conclusion of very fine
recital was brought about with
the presentation of a gift to Mrs
Elson from her students and the
closing number 'Now the Day is
Over by Sally Hill"

The Cow Thut Can't

Sandy Johnson showed me his
Jersey cows last week. 1t was
warm day and they were all under
the trees near a watering trough.
And darned if one COW wasn't
pumping water into the trough!
It's a fact-she'd raise the pump
handle with her nose, and use her
throat to push it down again.
~That's Mabel" Sandy explained
as she moved away. Sometimes
they drink that trough dry, and
she's learned how to fill it again.
But she doesn't know her own

4 This Week
G!S GEE=S Washington

OFS1 oilodo"hi5 any lIiIIlS else
in Washington is the fight for
and against extension of the Ma
tional Defense Act of 1850 and
the tremendous lobby which has
been set-up to defeat titles four
| and five of the act which COM
prise the whole price and wage
control set-up.
AS has been pointed out in
this column, big business, as
represented by the National AS
sociation of Manufacturers and
the United States Chamber of
Commerce and some segments of
the national farm organizations,
are spearheading the drive to
eliminate wage and price con-
trolls. On the other side of the
picture, there is the administra-
ton drive to tighten and streng-
then the defense Act.
The opinion here, however, is
that congress will not be stamped
| either way in radical action on
the act which expires June 30,
and likely will vote extension of
the act very much as it is now
and make whatever changes it
decides to make at a later date,
probably after the summer recess.
Action of the forces which are
i seeking to defeat efforts of Of
flee of Price Sterilization to en-
force ceilings on live cattle have
not frightened OPS officials. AS
a matter of fact, the big cattle
men and the National Meat In
stitute, together with the Farm
Bureau Federation, has had the
effect of stimulating a united
front among the officials of all
controls agencies, who are now
taking the position that beef
prices controls are symbolical
and that if the government can
not control beef prices which are
| farther out of line than any other
commodity, the whole price con-
troll structure will topple. So
these officials are determined to
succeed.

the opposite effect, not only on

itself according to observers here,
and is crystallizing sentiment in
favor of giving the cattle ceiling

Certainly, if it comes to the point

the fact that if steel or alumni

have some beef producers, to
