HOUSE WITHOUT BASEMENT.
CMrS. r. F. B.. Washington
Mrs. H. j. R., Chevy Chase:
In regard to your query as to
whether a basementless house is
damp. that depends on how the
ground work is done and what
precautions are taken to elm
mate all dampneSS. My hus-
band built us a house without
basement this year and we are
very happy with it.
It is not any cheaper to build
house without a basement and
do it the right way. We just
didn't want a basement. If you
would like to write me through
the Clearing House, will be
glad to help you farther.

THE OLD WOODEN ROCKER.
There 1t stands in the corner with
Its back to the wall
That old wooden rocker so
Stately and tall,
With naueht to disturb it but the .
Duster or broom.
For no one now uses the
Back parlor room.
How well ! remember the
Days long gone by
When We stood by the rocker
MY sister and
And listened to stories
Grandma would tell
BY the old wooden rocker
We all loved SO well.
But Grandma is gone and
Her stories are done
And her children have followed
Her one by. one
They have all gone to meet
Her In the sweet by and By.
And none Is now left-but

FABRIC.
mrs. P. M. ~. Washington
Does any one know Of a firm
somewhere in the United States
that would carry out-of-print
fabrics? I am trying to match
q blocked linen with which I
had two chairs covered about
three years ago. I have written
to the furniture house which
covered the chairs, only to find
that they have no more ma
terial on hand.
About two years ago I discov-
cred the fabric for sale at a
store here which handles mill
ends Of material, but at this
time 1t is no longer available
even there.
If I could locate some one
who might carry this particular
print. and if description alone
would not suffice to identify it,
! could send a photograph along
to them.

The Christmas Party was a sue
cess-any one of the many chill
dren who attended will enthusi-
aStically vouch for that.
Maybe we should stop to think
just how much work on the
part of the Committee went into
this Party. Looking around Sum
day afternoon, noticing the fes-

features of the entertaining pro-
gram, VIC wonder if our mere
"thanSs" is enough.
The ye sae the joy on the
faces of the children. There is the
reward for the hard work of the
committee and for both sponsors.
Those kiddies enjoyed every
minute, the Christmas y decor,
the Clowns, Cartoons, the talk by
the "Man in the Brown Suit" the
Magician's Act, Santa Claus, the
Treats, and the warm friendly
welcome of the Committee.
No one need say thanks" for
the children; we could see how
much they enjoyed the Party. So
we'll just say, "It was great
party"

The meat industry plays no small
part in the food family. During
the war, along with other indus
tries the meat industry exploited
the consumer as much as possible.
Upon the wars end the meat in
dustry called for an immediate
end to price control-controls
which had helped to keep prices
within reasonable control-rea-
sonable as compared with World
War I. WITHIN ONE YEAR
AFTER SCRAPPING OPA PRICES
ON MEAT WAS ADDED AN AV-
ERAGE OF NEARLY $50 YEAR
LY To A FAMILY WITH AN IN
COME OF $4,000.
Who Loses Money?
The meat industry frequently
explains to the public that it
makes less than cent profit on
the dollar and therefore is enti-
tied to price increases. A basic
theory of capitalist economics is
that unit profit and prices should
60 down. At the same time profit
increases from increased sales.
By 1945, the rate of profit on net
worth Gnvestment) of the Big
Four and the ten leading indepen-
dents rose to 81 percent, and it
doubled in 1916 1913 per cent.
This was profit after the pay
ment of taxes.
Who Gets Profit?
The so-called Big Four (Arm-
our, Swift, Wilson and Cudahy)
Monopoly controls 20 per cent of
profit.
BY 1910, Swift, Armour, and
Wilson were among the first six
companies that sold 80 per cent
of all cheese and one half of all
canned milk. Between 1927-47,
the Big Four absorbed sixty-five
independent companies. The four
packers won one half of the out
put of the entire industry.
Who Gets Hurt?
SMALL INDEPENDENT PACK
ERS. Congress, in 1945, cut the
appropriation for inspection of
meat by $11, 100000 and provided
that federal meat inspectors be
paid by the packers. This not
only endangered consumers, but
weakened the competitive posi-
ton of SMALL INDEPENDENT
PACKERS, by adding thousands
of dollars to their payroll, In
1948, Congress, under pressure,
restored the previous monetary
cut.
Who Fights For Your
The Amalgamated Meat Cut
ters and Butcher Workmen (AFL)
and the United Packinghouse
Workers (CIO), were leaders in
the fight to restore entire cost to
the government for meat inspec-
ton. These unions also do fine
job of protecting the public.
Some of these protective de-
vices are y exposed the filthy
conditions under which poultry is
slaughtered and eggs are pro-
cessed; o exposed THE PORK

paigns in Oregon have protected
consumers against being sold

A number of harmful practices
still, however, persist. Meats are
harmfully "cured" with gelatin
fat, brine, chemicals, and "smoke
solutions" to improve stringy to
tough meat from poor animals.

pany dividend limitation and max
imum and minimum prices has
been put before the Norwegian
parliament by the Labour govern
ment.
The bill aims "to assure a So
ciably defensible price develop
ment and to counteract unreason-
able prices and trade terms
through the control and regula-
ton of prices, costs, profits and
other economic factors.
The Norwegian Finance Minis
try says that the bill will 'pro-
vide protection against unfair
competition and measures harm
ing the public interest by unrea-
sonable restraint of competition" "
In view of recent developments
in world economics-its growth
in both size and compleXity, we
feel that the establishment of per-
manent price control laws is most
efficacious.
It is encouraging to see that
not all men in government are
willing to let "the law of supply

This was in 1885. johnson be-
came assistant to the president
of the insurance company and
editor of the company's house
organ. In connection with these
duties, Johnson read all maga-
zines and publications and made
digest of the articles concern
ing colored people. He often dis
cusSed these magazine articles
with friends and was surprised
to learn how interested they were
in these particular articles. This
gave him the idea for the Digest,
which he started in 1912.
After the war, again in Novem-
Der, 1945, Johnson brought out
Ebony, as a picture magazine
designed to show the brighter
side of colored life and to illus
trate the achievments in employ
ment, in business and in the cul-
tural and social life Of the coun-
try. Ebony met with immediate
success and this month Johnson
is able to announce that the cir
culation of this monthly is now
over 100000.
Then in November, 1850, came
Tan Confessions, Johnson's third
publication, equally successful as
the other two. And in November,
1851, johnson introduced the first
colored weekly magazine, Jet,
which in a relatively short time,
is achieving widespread accep-
| tance.
And all of this was accomplish
ed in less than a decade, which
in the publishing business of the
country, is considered phenomen
