Continuing on this phase of his
subject, DR.. Tippets said: "The ma
ton was active after the last war be-
cause we were filling the gap of
things that could not be produced or
bought during the war period. This
was followed by government spend
ing during the Korean situation"
Coming to the possibility of a de-
preston now, Dr. Tippets said that
if there should be a depression, the
size of it will depend on both public
and private spending.
If, " he sair, business and govern
ment both decide to spend less, then
we cannot avoid considerable let
down, but it will not be anything
like the depression of the 30's, which
was mainly caused because of the
collapse of our banking system"
In conclusion, the speaker gave
what he considered to be the ear
marks of a depression period.
Through all depressions," he said,
interest rates provided the guide as
to what was coming" In this con-
nection he pointed out that spending
by industry is done to enlarge their
productive capacity and the money
for this expansion is usually borrow
ed from banks. "Thus," he contin-
ued, if the interest rates are low,
it means that the banks have plenty
of money to lend, but when they
begin to exhaust their lending funds,
then the interest rate rises and it is
more difficult to borrow"
DR.. Tibbets then pointed out that
for some time before the 1929 crash,
interest rates, not only in this coun-
try, but all over the world, began to
rise - a sure sign of trouble.
Summing it all up, DR.. Tibbets pre-
dicted that a period Of real adjust
ment is coming, but it will not be
nearly as serious as some people seem
to believe.

DR.. Charles Tippets, president of
Mercersburg Academy and national
ly recognized Economist, was the
guest speaker at the weekly lunch
con meeting of the Kiwanis Club,
held at the Hotel Alexander yester-
day.
The program was arranged by the
Club Extension Committee, of which
c. Robert Dean is chairman, and the
speaker was introduced by Bruce
Lightner, who was a classmate of DIR.
Tippets at the Academy.
President Herman B. Hopes pre-
sided and introduced Mr.. Moles-
worth, president of the Mt. Airy
Club, who turned over the banner of
the Lieutenant Governor of the
Ninth Division, which will be held
in Hagerstown since Walter Daniels
a member of the Hagerstown Club,
is the new Lieutenant Governor.
DR.. Tippets, who spoke on "Will
there be depression" briefly traced
the history of past depressions and
their causes, during which he stated
that depression is always preceded
by some kind of Boom and the things
that happen during Boom usually
provide the cause of a depression.
The speaker then went on to say that
the basis of prosperity is that, "some-
body, somewhere, must spend a great
deal of money on something"
Celebrating on this, he stated that
this spending might be done by pri-
vate individuals, by business con-
Germs, by public utilities, or by gov
eminent. ''In time of war, the gov
eminent is the greatest spender," he
said, land in time of peace the
people, of one sort or another be-
come the greatest spenders."
In this connection, the speaker said
that had it not been for the Marshall
Plan and the conflict in Korea, we
would probably now be in real de-
preston.

What Your Chamber
Of Commerce Does!

Most of you realize that your
Chamber of Commerce plays a very
important roll in our community
life, but if you were asked how, per-
haps some of you might be a little
vague.
The purpose of this statement
by Harold M. Porter, chairman of the
Chamber, therefore, is to describe
some of your Chamber activities SO
that you may gain a clearer picture
of what your organization is doing.
One of the primary functions of a
Chamber of Commerce is to furnish
information about the community
which supports it. Here in Hagers-
town, our Chamber answers an aver
age of $4,000 inquiries per year, $50
per day. These inquiries come by
mail, phone and personal watkins.
They cover wide range of questions
about our city and county and about
our local business firms, professional
people and public and private insti-
buttons. Let us pin-point a few of
the classes into which these inquiries
fall.
Cd People who have visited and
who have heard about Hagerstown
and feel that they would like to come
here to live.
(2) People asking for a map of Ha-
gerStown so that they can locate a
business firm, institution, or individ-
ual, and, also, new residents of our
community.
(3) Tourists asking for information
about nearby historical points of in
terest and scenic beauty.
(4) Inquiries from students and
writers who are studying or compil
ing information on Hagerstown or
Washington County.
o.. Inquiries from travellers or
newcomers to our community as to
where certain articles or services
may be obtained. (In one case re-
Gently, such an inquiry resulted in a
$1,000 sale for one of our retailers
(6) Inquiries about certain prod
ucts manufactured in Hagerstown
and Washington County.
CD Inquiries about purchasing real
estate in Hagerstown and vicinity.
(8) Inquiries about the availability
of specific types of professional and
specialized services in Hagerstown.
(9) Inquiries from manufacturers
and other businesses interested in To-
eating in Hagerstown or vicinity.
Is this service appropriate and
Worthwhile-if so, where would the
inquiries be answered if we did not
have Chamber of Commerce? What
is it worth to the business and pro-
fessional people of our community
to have these inquiries properly
answered? Is SOC a fair value to
place on these inquiries? If so, your
Chamber is doing a $22,5OO job for
our community in this one small part
of its operation.

referee that he is the better man in the next one. DeMarco will be the champ, and if the challenger doesn't show some, thing to warrant a. crown swapping, then DeMarco will retain the lightweight title. ~
 Carter's fatal mistake in the recent go was his failure to solve DeMarco's charging style. He never did get hurt by the new champ. whereas DeMarco was stunned a couple of times by Carter. Even Car ter'smanagers failed to sense until too late that the cham pion was losing his crown. The time for a decision, and a definite change of tactics was not later than the ninth, pre- ferably the eighth. It seemed to come in the eleventh, and then Carter didn't have the steam left to pull it out, or put DeMarco to sleep.
 One thing is sure as a result of the latest upset. The next Carter DeMarco outing will be a stem -winder. It is likely to get off to a faster start too, because Carter won't waltz around trying to figure out the champions style in the first half of the fight. DeMarco says he is ready and confident to take on the challenger. The
 fight will come off, probably in the next three months. It will be interesting to watch the outcome of it.

 C0MMENT

The new lightweight cham pion Paddy De Marco, did what the experts said he couldn't do recently. He out rushed Jimmy Carter, the ex- champion as a result of the fight. and stayed strong until the end. He also avoided a K 0. which some thought Carter would bestow upon be- fore the night ended.
 < Carter seemed to be a bit puzzled by the aggressive tactics. He kept waiting to get the right opening for nine or ten rounds and by that time the fight was lost. He never did get it, even in the desperate moments of the 11th' 18th, and 18th rounds

when he moved in constantly.
 The DeMarco-C Carter fight was a thriller even though there were no knockdowns. It was an interesting example of a smarter fighter grabbing the crown from the out thought champion. The two fighters meet again, and Car ter will get his chance to re- tain the crown. No doubt he will go into action earlier this next time. This reporter would give him the decision inareturn bout, though it will be close, and even though he is thirty years old to DeMarco's twenty-six years.
 DeMarco will have to fight even better next time. against the ex-champion, than he did recently for the psychology will be reversed. Garter will be hungry. It will be up to him to show the judges and

(Bible Translator for this Irlbe)
Lord, we put into thy hands
the whole New Testament in our
language. Use thy Word to bring
many more to Thyself, as thou
hast already used it to bring us to
Thee was the prayer of the hum
bic Indian Christian who dedicated
the final portion of the Izeltal
New Testament to the Lord before
hundreds of Tzeltal Christians
crowded into the Corralito church.
Then, since it was the DAY of the
Bible" celebrated by believers
throughout Mexico, the Tzeltal
Christians gave an offering Of over
thousand pesos for the work Of
the Bible Society the world over,
that others might have the Word
of God, as they now have 1t IN
their own tongue.
The translation of the New
Testament into Tzeltal, a Mayan
dialect spoken by more than forty
thousand backward, monolingual
Indians of southern Mexico, has
been carried on over period of
ten years, during which time the
Lord has used His Word in Tzeltal
to translate into the Kingdom of
His Dear Son" more than three
thousand of the Tzeltal tribe. Keen
Young Indian Christians, won to
the Lord through Gospel records
and the Gospel of Mark in their
own language, came over the trails
to the translator's house each day
after their work in their corn fields
was done, to help voluntarily in the
translation of the rest of the New
Testament. Many were the even
ings when the Lord spoke to the
hearts of those gathered around
the translation table, and work
was suspended as they put into
their hearts" the truths they were
hearing for the first time from the
pages of Gods Word.
Those who had helped in the
translation of the Word then took
newly typed copies Of the newly
translated Portions and preached
from them to the other congrcga-
tons of Indian Christians scattered
throughout the mountains. Fifteen
of the books Of the New Testament
were published as separate Por-
tions and eagerly bought by the
Tzeltal believers, who are rapidly
learning to read because of their
desire to read the Word of God for
themselves. The Gospel Of John
came off the press in July, and
within two weeks eight hundred
copies had been sold; and a hun
