Food Costs Not Up
Compared To Wages

The retail cost Of the family food
supply is not as high as it was ten
years ago, compared to wages. So
said Director George M. WOrrilow
of the University of delaware Ag-
ricultural Experiment Station and
Extension Service in a recent talk
to a group of farmers and wage
earners. He went on to point out
that the food bill now takes a small
Ter part Of the average wage than
1t did before the last war.
"The average weekly earnings of
workers in manufacturing indus
tries was $22.42 from 1885 to 1898.
BY 1850, it had jumped to $5S.45.
AT the same time, the retail cost of
farm food products for the average
family of three for a whole year
went from $341 to $645. Wages
have gone up more than two and a
half times" said WOrrilow, while
the cost of food is up not quite two
times"
He also pointed out that the far
mer's profits have gone down con-
siderably in recent years. "Since
1947," he said, average farmers
costs have gone up, and their net
income has gone down. 1t has re-
suited in a loss of purchasing
power of 300 for the American
farmer"
"The farmer" WOrrilOW con-
cluded, 'is not to blame for the high
cost of living. He too is paying
bigger bills than he ever did be-
fore. At the same time, however,
he's producing more food, of higher
quality, an6 he's doing it al lower
comparative cost to the consumer
than ever before"

Forty-fOurth in a Series GAMBLE

Tn the rough and rugged days ot high seas ur-sealing, back in the 1880's and 1890s, the business was pretty much of a gamble. The sealers gambled heavily on the weather, especially in foggy, storm racked Bering Sea. And they gam tled that they could dodge the revenue cutters and warships sent cut to capture them.
 On top of that. many a cargo of hard-won sealskins changed hands over the gaming tables of Yokohama and other ports fre- quented by the sealers.
 And even today when fur seal ing is a government monopoly and is conducted much more sedately, it maintains an affinity for gamb- ling. In the recent government auction of sealsklns at St. Louis, with bidding checked by OPS ceil- ings, numbered discs were spun to decide which buyer would get the skins.

This means that the cooperating de- nominations are represented in the work of the Chapel, that the Chap ei tries to meet the need of the whole community rather than serv- ing along purely sectarian lines, and that the local churches of the Juneau area represented in the council. cooperate heartily with It. Much of the new strength of today's church lies in this type of Cooperation. AS full church, the Chapel-by-the-Lake will be in a better position to serve the Aux Bay area. Chapel meetings are temporarily being held in the manse basement, Aux Creek and Aux Lake, until the new building can be erected.

 The transcript into mid-af afternoon disclosed little that was new about the Korean war or the Macarthur Truman differences.
 Here are some of the points of Information developed during Mac Arthur's testimony today - some of them things brought out offic- ially or unofficially in the past:
 Russians Giving Aid
 l. He said the Joint Chiefs of Staff approved when he split his United Nations forces last fall in a drive for the Korean -Manchurian border.
 2. He believes the Russians are actively aiding the North Koreans and Chinese Communists with sup plies. but he has seen no evidence of other aid, that is the actual presence of Russians.
 :. He considers that the loss of Formosa big island now held by the Chinese Nationaiists would mean the collapse" of the Phil ippines and would '"invite a third World War"
