Preservation Of Free Enterprise, Inc.

people in the United States. Total
itarian Germany, before the war,
had only one car for every 1873
people, and tOtalitarian Japan had
only one for every 564.
The late Henry Ford once re-
marked;
"The automobile business is like
a pyramid, pointed at the top and
with very broad base. If a car
cost a million dollars there might
be a man foolish enough to buy it..
If car could be sold for ten dol
lars, scores of millions of people
would buy and use cars instead Of
wearing out their shoes. The fur
ther we can lower the price, the
more millions will enjoy the car"
And Ford was right; not only
about cars, but also about thou
sands of other types of goods and
services.
Contrast this competitive, free
enterprise system with govern
ment-planned and gOvernment-con-
trOlled economy. What do you get?
You get many bureaucrats, scar
city in those items which the gov
ernment rules are essential, and
high prices for those items which
the government says are not es-
sential. You get red tape, begged
down management, unhappy en-
plOyees, and heavy taxes to pay
the bureaucrats who are the au-
thOrs Of all that trouble.
And in the end, what do you
get?
You get "austerity"
=
Contrast the position of Eng
land in trade and commerce even
twenty years ago, with its position
today. Contrast its rate of re-
cOvery from World War One, with
the rate of recovery from World
War Two. Even when all allow
ances are made for the greater
cost and strain of World War Two
there's still a big difference in the
methods used in the 192O's and
those used today to get that coun-
try back on it's feet.

Let's let the government run the
I government, and let businessmen
run the businesses.

YOUNG GERMAN IN U. S. ARMY

DARMSTADT, Germany -(P)-
Young Peter Fleck, who used to
wear the blue-gray of the German
Luftwaffe, is back in uniform again
this time it's American olive
drab.
Fleck, %, was yanked into the
Luftwaffe air defenses when he
was Is. Because of his youth and
because his service was auxiliary"
Fleck escaped life in a prisoner of
war camp.
Last May Peter got permission
and went to the United States to
the home of his cousin, Arthur
Fleck, of Lindenhurst, Long Is
land. But Selective Service reach
ed out soon and last August Peter
found himself at Ft. Knox, KY.
Soon after training he headed for
the U. S. 1st Division and duty in
his homeland. He says military
service is a small price to pay for

SAFETY RULES FOR
BIKE RIDERS

With spring here and summer
just around the corner, bikes are

age, polished, oiled, adjusted and
readied for the fun-Or tragedy

Junior has learned his safety les
sons.
A majority of the 20 million two
wheeling enthusiasts will be chill
dren, some taking their first out
door rides on their shiny new
Christmas bikes, according to the
Bicycle Institute C America.
With this tremendous number of
cyclists on the country roads and
bike paths during the spring and
summer months, the National Safe
ty Council credits Safety Educa-
tiOn for 40 per cent drop in ser
iOus bike accidents during the past
10 years. 1t says that bicycling is
a safer sport today than football,
basketball and baseball because of
the vigorous all-year-round safety
campaign waged by thousands of
civic organizations and schools in
cooperation with the Institute.
Constant hammering on the safe
ty theme has been effective in all
grades, according to observers, and
it won't do any harm repeating
some of the simple rules of the
road laid down by the Institute. If
followed in the months ahead they
can save many hours of anxiety for
parents and many lives and limbs
of children.
l. Ride single file, close to the
shoulder of the road.
2 Obey all traffic signals and
+ observe road courtesy as you
would while driving a car.
8. Carry food, swimming suits
and all other packages in a basket
or carrier on the rear fender so
. that both hands will always be
free for steering.
4. Don't hitch to other vehicles.
You've got plenty of time, but
only one life.
5. Move off the roadway if you
have to make repairs.
6. If you're cycling after dark
make sure your bike is equipped
with headlight and rear reflector
z. Wear light clothing at night
8. Walk your bike across busy
intersections.

Labor Shortage In
Malaga

KUALA LUMPUR, Malaga - (R)
The Associated Chinese chambers
of commerce are worried lest draft
dodgers" will cause a grave labor
shortage in Malaga.
President H. S. Lee estimated
that 10000 Chinese youths, includ-
ing many skilled workers, had left
Malaga during the early part of
1851 to avoid being called up un-
der the manpower draft.
He reported some mines, planta-
tions and other industries are so
short of labor that they have inn
ported Gurkha workers from Bur-
ma.

WIG BUSINESS NOW GROWING

ST. LOUIS - (P) - The wig
business is taking a trimming here.
Mrs. Grace Anderson, who runs
hairshop specializing in head
wear, says repeat customers are
procrastinating something awful.
Wigs (Which cover the entire
head) and tOupees (which don't)
ordinarily should be replaced ev-
cry two years or so but Mrs. An
dersOn reports with everything
higher these days some wearers are
making the old tops do.
TOupee and wig prices here range
from SIS to about SIPS. But it's not
the initial investment that's the
backbone of the business-it's the
upkeep-hair-dOs, cleaning and re-
placements.
And that's where Mrs. Anderson
says the ecOnOmizing is showing
up.

Convention Hall Is
Needed At Rehoboth
CONTINUED from first pagsl

H. Snyder, manager of the Reho-
both Bus Center; DR.. Ralph E.
Hall, town treasurer; Commission
er William w. Henning, and N.
Ashley Jenkins, president of the
RehObOth Kiwanis Club.
They will go ahead with neces-
sary investigations.
Conventions Listed
Listed so far on the summer
agenda at RehObOth or nearby
Lewes are the following conven-
tiOns: The Middle Atlantic AssO-
citation of the 40 ct 8 American
Legion on May %, "a, 25; The Del

merCe with 1852 beauty pageant at
RehOboth Beach, July 26.
RehOboth Beach will be the site
for the annual convention of the
Delaware Medical Society, to be
held September 8, 8, and 10. DR..
Erwin L. Stambaugh is the presi-
dent of the society.
Local interests feel this number
of conventions so far would be
doubled or tTipled if a suitable
convention hall were available.
Doubt Taxpayers Support
While many citizens have advO-
Gated holding a referendum to find
out the opinion of tOwnspeople in
having the town finance a con-
ventiOn hall, Mayor Thompson said
he thought taxpayers may object
to the financial burden of floating
a bond issue.
He added that he thought a suit
able site also would be a problem,
as there is no available town lOca-
tiOn in the heart of the resort that
would be adequate.
Some have advocated using the
present City Hall on RehObOth ave-
nue., with necessary revisiOns and
additions.
Urges ArmOTy Effort
Mayor Thompson thought the
most likely solution is an antici-
pated appropriation. for building
an armOry at RehObOth, that may
serve the dual purpose of con-
ventiOn hall. He said it was his
understanding that an armOry may
be built with the government pay
ing IS per cent of the cost, and
25 per cent by the state. He rec
commended to the ways and means
committee that the state adjutant
| Brigadier General Joseph ]. Scan
nell, be contacted for information
on the prospects for a RehObOth
I Beach aTmOry.
In the meanwhile Mayor ThOmp-
son authorized the convention hall
committee to study the project
from a local angle of financing and
! finding a suitable site.
The need for a convention hal
was first agitated back in 1947 anC
! 194S, when a committee tried tC

In all probability, you and l will
never own things like the Hope
diamond or a sixty-foot yacht.
Their price is beyond us, because
big diamonds are scarce and big
yachts are built one at time to
special order.
But thanks to mass production,
we do buy and do enjoy, every day
Of our lives, hundreds of items
which make our lives easier and
more pleasant.
In this country, we manufacture
hpsticks and fountain pens, nuts
and bolts, safety pins, hair-curlers
and an almost unlimited number
of other things faster than a man
can pick up pebbles on a gravel
road. And because there are so
many such articles on the market,
they sell at a price suited to ev-
eryOne's purse.
Not long ago, a famous Partisan
dress designer told of some highly
artistic button makers who spend
days making a single button by
hand OF such buttons, only a
couple of dozen will be sold, be-
cause such a button maker is in
terested in scarcity and the main
tenance of high prices.
But in America, the button MAX
er doesn't manufacture anything
that cannot be sold by the gross.
And the American dress manufac-
turer wants it that way. because
he, in his turn, makes dresses in
quantity at low prices.
II depends on what you want:
handicraft wares at high prices for
few people; or mass production
at prices everybody can afford. The
American, competitive free enter
prise system has developed along
the line of selling many articles to
many people, and at low prices.
And because America has de-
velOped that way. we have stand
ard of living unmatched anywhere
in the world.
The great symbol of American
mass production is the automobile.
In 1900, there we're 5000 cars on
our roads. To-Day there are more
than 36,OOO,O0O That's an automo-
Bile for every three and one half

Spring Cleanup
Needs Controlled
Burning # Any

Field fires that get out Of hand
are destroying more and more
farm property, said VIM. H. Hen
derson, County Agricultural Exten-
sion Office. The Extension Service
is joining with the National Fire
Protection Association, in suggest
ing these ways to keep field fire
under control.
1. If there is q fire lookout in
your area, notify the towerman
when and where you intend to
burn off a field. If there is no
tOwerman notify your local fire Of
Ificer. Get a burning permit if the
law requires one.
2. Clear of, preferably by plow-
ing, a six-fOOt-wide lane around
the field to be burned. This won't
be wasted effort because the whole
field probably will be plOwed later
anyway.
8. Have fire-fighting tools handy.
4. Don't leave the field until the
fire is dead out.
5. Burn against the wind. Start
the fire at the dOwnwind fire lane
or natural barrier such as a road
or creek.
6. Avoid burning on a windy day.
The safest time to burn a field is
late in the evening.
The fact that fire sparks can be
! carried long distances by the wind
is reason to roof buildings with
fire-resistant material such as
asphalt shingles. asbestos slate, Oh
metal, the association says. None
of these materials will catch fire
from sparks or fire brands.

settlers into a promising farm

Mann's picture wastes no time
on preliminaries. It starts where
the going gets tough, in the In
