Fire Patrol

To ape an old movie we might we'll label this stick of type the Dawn Patrol" It's a little after 6 am, an unreasonable hour for man or beast to be about, but the boys of the fire patrol are check ing in after an all-night vigil of guarding the life and property of this community against the ha- zards of another fire.
 While most of us are in the arms Of Morpheus getting the rest of the just or the unjust as the case may be. members of the Volunteer Fire Department have been on the alert during these winter evenings.
 On their own initiative, they have been operating a fire patrol at no cost to any one except themselves in loss of sleep, use of their own cars and the inconyen- fence of their workaday lives.
 Working in teams on shifts of some three hours each, the boys in their own vehicles cover the town from end to end, checking here and checking there to bel sure there is no sudden outbreak of fire in these long nights when snow and icy conditions add to the hazard.
 It might be typed a labor of love, but to this community 1t is invaluable. It can well mean the difference between your woodshed burning and a major fire disaster with loss of life and perhaps your own home or business. It's mighty comfortable feeling to be snug in the covers, knowing the motorized patrol is prownng the town, guarding your life and mine.
 The Volunteer Fire Department always has done a most laudable job in the interests of this com munity but we believe they are entitled to a special accolade for setting up and operating so ef- ficiently at their own expense the motorized fire patrol
 Tomorrow night, Fire Chief w. D. Grant and his sterling fire eaters hold their annual hard-time dance, a tradition in Wrangell's histroy. An excellent way to show. our appreciation of the depart ment and it's motorized patrol is to join the firemen for their big party. If you can't be there at least buy ticket. The money goes to help make your fire de- partment the best in the land
 So swing your partners at the Firemen's ball.

SCHOOL NEWS
By c. L. Anderson. Supt.

Did you know that America has been blessed with more na- tural resources than any other civilized nation; and did you also know that they have been used at a fabulously high rate? Many of our natural resources have been wasted, but We can be thankful that the greatest resource with which We have been blessed has received the most careful develop ment. That resource is the child ren of this country
 Granted we are short of schools and short of teachers, but on the whole the American child is re- ceiying a far better education in terms of meeting his environ ment than any other child. If your child shows an interest in becoming a teacher. think very carefully before discouraging him. Teachers in the elementary school are in critically short supply to- day and the need is getting great CT by the day.
 Several hundred pounds of used textbooks were sent to tine Ria- wock Public Schools in the hope that we can aid in the rehabilita- tion of their educational program, slowed when fire destroyed it's school recently.

Calling The Loans

A great deal has been buffeted about in connection with the In- terIor Department taking over the Alaska Native Industries Cooper atiye Associations headquarters ill Seattle and firing its manager, Louis c. Peters. The Coop created to further the native arts and craft industry is participated in by various native villages in the quite a business.
 Peters was hired by the Coop and refused to be fired by the h. terior Department, contending he was the custodian of AMIGA and it's funds for the native people, declining to turn it over to just any old person who came along even though he happened to be from the Interior Department.
 After requests for injunctions and a great deal of other legal parlaying it now develops that the government through the Interior Department had made some loans, St for advancing the interests of AMIGA, and were now calling Them.
 Booming
 If the number of pulp mills, lumber plants, plywood factories and what-have-you we've been rsading about in other papers and credited to Wrangell all blew their whistles today this probably would be the most booming town in the Territory, the nation ana parts of Tasmania.
 Meanwhile, through the haze of headlines we can visualize some industrial development come spring and summer which promis- es to make Wrangell a substantial lumber center.
 Political Note
 We've been hearing from Burke Riley, who used to be the man who did the work around the Governors office in another era, later was Secretary of Alaska and now practices law in the capital city. In what might have been a weak moment, Burke filed for a House seat on, of course, the Democratic ticket. Cogitatins on the wisdom, Burke writes:

that the Base will set up a display
of literally hundreds of items in
the Base Accountable Supply Of
fices, and further information may
be secured by contracting the Wing
Material Office, Headquarters
Building. Items will be both of
non-aircraft and aircraft materi-
ais. Through the cooperation of
the Delaware State Chamber of
Commerce the Development De-
partment has issued letters of in
vitation to the exhibition to 700
wholesale, manufacturing and re-
tail outlets in the state. Officials
also announced that complete
list of non-aircraft and aircraft
items will be available for study in
the offices of the Development De-
partment; the Delaware State
Chamber of Commerce, 1112 King
Street, Wilmington; Dover Cham
ber of Commerce, City Hall, Dover;
and at the Air Base prior to the
June 80 date. 1t was pointed out,
however, that suppliers will get a
better idea of the needs of the base
if they visit it and look over the
exposition. 'The purpose of this
exposition is to alert Delawareans
to the opportunities which may be
available to them to do business
with Dover Air Force Base,
through bidding or other arrange
ments as may be specified by the
Defense Department or the De-
partment of the Air Force" offic-
ials declared. 1t was reported that
at present the Base is at about
one-half strength, with approx
| mately 1900 military personnel al
ready installed. The number is ex'
pected to increase to 5000 by late
fall or winter. The Development
Department reported last night
that after letters are issued, it is
hoped that replies will be received
so that the Air Base may make
proper preparations for the exhibi
ton, or extend the time beyond
noon of June 80 if it is found nee
essary.

Psychology of Prices

One reason sometimes cited for
current optimism is the relative
stability of prices during the pre-
sent recession. But this can be
viewed in two ways. One might
argue that greater flexibility of
prices would facilitate recovery.
After all, this is often characteriz-
ed as an adjustment period, and
the price mechanism is the classic
adjuster. Perhaps lower prices
would stimulate more spending,
enable businessmen to work off
excess inventories faster, and
bring about recovery sooner. On
the other hand, one might argue
that the stability of prices has
helped Ito keep the recession from
being worse than it might have
been; that if prices showed signs
of weakening, consumers would
hold off buying. Consumers have
indicated they do not think prices
will change much and, on the
whole. that this is "a good time to
buy" The statistics show that
consumer spending has held up
fairly well in the face of declines
in some other sectors of the econ
omy, lending stability to the econ
omy.

OUTLOOK FOR
BUSINESS
Optimistic Observers Find
Support in Production in
April Up With March
PRICE BEHAVIOR

Each edition of the newspapers
seems to bring more predictions
of a nearterm revival in business.
And each new statistic is seized
upon and examined for evidence to
bear out the prediction. Optimistic
observers find support in the fact
that production in April did not
decline below March, that unem-
ployment has receded, that retail
sale rose in April, and that con-
sumer credit has increased. Yet in
most cases special circumstances
seasonal and otherwise-suggest
that the figures should be inter-
preted cautiously. Then, too, the
psychological reaction could be ad-
verse if the optimistic expectations
do not materialize.
Smyrna times., 1954-06-24
Price Behavior

Price Behavior
Whatever may be the psycholog-
ical aspects of price behavior, it is
clear that prices have not behaved
as they usually do in a recession.
In the 1949 recession-the closest
thing in recent years to the cur
rent situation-wholesale prices
dropped per cent. This was about
half the decline during the 1888
recession of 1921 and in the Great
Depression, wholesale prices fell
around 40 per cent. Since the cur
rent recession began, wholesale
prices have risen by about 11s per
cent. In fact, any one looking only
at a chart of wholesale prices
would get a peculiar idea of busi-
ness trends since 1850. He would
see the rising trend through 1850
and the first part of 1851, but then
a mild downtrend for two years,
followed by a leveling in early
1858, and some upward tendency
in the past ten months. The ad-
justment in many prices apparent
ly came well before the adjustment
was felt in other sectors of the
economy. The sharpest drop was
in prices that rose very fast after
the Korean outbreak. 1t may be
that this early decline in some
prices has helped keep the business
recession from being more severe
At the same time, the relative
mildness of the recession when il
finally arrived, and continued
faith in prospects for long-term
economic growth, may have tend
ed to keep prices from going lown
further.
Price of Money
There is at least one kind ot
price, however, which has behaved
about as usual-the price o1
money, or interest rates. Rates or
Treasury bills, which averaged 2.s
per cent in the second quarter oi
last year have recently been wei
below 1 per cent. Rates on com
mercial paper have declined by
nearly per cent and yields OF
per cent. AS is usually true, how
ever, rates charged by banks OF
short-term business loans hav'
moved more slowly! in earl.
March they were about what the,
were last June. After mid-Marcl
however, leading commercial
banks in large cities reduced rate
charged ON prime loans by one
quarter of 1 per cent. The basi
reasons for the declines in rate
are as clear as the declines them
selves. On the one hand, the de
mand for credit has slackened. o.
the other, the supply of saving
has stayed high and the Fedora
Reserve has pursued policy G
actively promoting ease in th
money market.
