Here We Go ARoinl

by manufacturers and merchants
spending more money on adver-
Using, selling, and developing new
products.
Z. The U. S. population will con-
pnue it's present growth and the
best prospects for sales in 1854
will be the ''teen-agers.
8. Interest rates during the first
six months of 1854 should average
about as at present, except on the
renewal of lOw-rate loans.
8. Farm lands, except near cities,
will sell for less during the first
half of 1854, when farmers profits
will begin to decline.
10. The Central and Southwest
will not suffer drought as in 1858.
II. There will be more fear of
World War Iii as years go on.
People will gradually move out of
certain large cities. Nearby farm
land will be split up. A rise in
the price of such fringe farm land
is certain.
IL The U. S. Government will
give less money to the European
and other nations direct; but will
help them through the United
Nations.
13. There will be fewer employed
next June-the total take-hOme-
pay will be less-than last June.
This, however, may be a good thing
for the morale of the nation.
IA. The present Administration
will suffer much opposition to at
tempts to reduce tariffs if profits
decline or unemployment increases
Is. The Administration and the
Labor Leaders will try to revamp
the Taft-Hartley Bill during 1854;
but bad strikes are coming.
Is. I am no weather prophet, but
experts expect a warmer winter
for the eastern portion of the U. S.
and a colder Florida.
II. Canada will continue to boom
during the first half of 1854, but
this may be a good time to take
profits on Canadian investments.
IS. The above may also apply to
Southern California and it's air
plane and movie industries. Both
may have reached their peaks fol
the present.
10. Automobiles will be harder
to sell and easier to buy during
the first half of 1854. Both the
automobile stocks and the cars will
be in less demand. There will be
more bargains in used cars, dis
counts on new cars, especially cars
of the independent" manufac
turers.
20. Florida may have killing
frosts during the next few months
This will cheer up California
Arizona, and Texas.
21. The Korean situation will
remain about as is--as the China
man says, much talkie and NJ
shootie."

just what causes us to get excited
over the inevitable fact that another
year has ended and a new one is
just irrevOcably beginning. Certain
ly we can take no credit for this
unavoidable phenomenon. Yet it
is our custom to celebrate And it
seems, looking back, that the more
harshly the old year has dealt with
us, the more gaily we usher in
the new which is probably
what Mr.. Lamb meant when he
called it "the nativity of our
common Adam"
Thus, we ascribe to ourselves
personally a new start as a figure
turns up on the calendar. 1t seems
logical at such a time to fOrswear
the vices for which conscience
itches us. In 1854, for example, we
shall be resolute. We shall stop
biting our nails. We shall cease
our prOcrastinatiOn We shall go
to bed earlier and get up ditto.
We shall be kind, and generous,
and fOrgiving. We shall, in fact. be
a perfect worm rather than offend
our brother manor sister woman
But first, if we're going to be so
darn good, we should be entitled
to raise a little sand!

provided by the First and Central
Presbyterian Church choir under
the direction of Wallace Heaton.
Mr.. HeatOn will also preside at the
chapel organ.
Judge Green pointed out that
while the service is under the spon-
sOrship of the Sons and Daughters
of the American Revolution, it is
by no means exclusive and an in
vitatiOn to the general public to
participate is cordially extended.
The service will begin at g D.
m, and upon it's conclusion the
Rev. DR.. John R. Hart, chaplain
of Valley Forge Chapel, will be
host at tea for the visitors.
Judge Green pointed out that one
innovation this year will be the
playing of Our Delaware, the
state song, on the carlton chimes
which were completed this wear.
The carlton houses the bells given
by the various states and includes
the Delaware State Bell in the
Star Spangled Banner National
Peace Chime which was the gift
of the National Society of Colonial
Danes of America in the State of
Delaware. There is also the Nation
al Birthday Bell, including the
Delaware State Star, which was
given by the Delaware State Con-
ference of the Daughters of the
American Revolution.
Since Governor Boggs is the
principal speaker, and there is
much of the First State in evidence
in Valley Forge, Judge Green
pointed out that this day makes it
especially appropriate to visit the
national shrine.
The chapel also contains the
Delaware State Flag and the Della
ware State Panel in the Roof of
the Republic. The latter was the
gift of Mrs. T. P. Chandler, Jr.
There is al the Delaware Bay i'm

was the gift of Col. George A.
Elliott for the Delaware Society of
the Sons of the American Revolu-
ton.

Dear Friends:-

had a White Christmas here and
snow is still on the ground. Christ

homes had their trees decorated
early in December just like they
do in Texas. We are used to the
reverse and leave up long after
Christmas. At home we usually
have a blue spruce tree, but the
one we have here is a short needle
pine and not half as full as we
like our tree to be, but I'm reas-
onably sure that Lynne and Dawn
didn't notice any difference.
Lynne got her bride doll that
she wanted more than anything
else and of all the toys Dawn got
she has cuddled, loved and drag

NEW YORK STRIKE SHOWS VALUE
OF NEWSPAPERS

How lar that little candle throws It's
BEAM" says an old poem. 1t could be para
phrased, if unpOetically to read, GLOW far
the consequences of a strike extend"
The New York newspaper strike, which
deprived the worlds second largest city of
it's principal media of information and adj
vertislng for II days, is perfect example.
Moreover, it illustrated how unique place
the newspapers hold in a community.
The strike was brought by phOtOen-
gravers' union which has 400-Odd members
employed on the major New York papers.
Actually, only POT votes were cast in favor
of the strike, but it was a majority. The
papers, of course, could have appeared
without pictures but other unions hOnOred
the engravers' picket lines and made publ
cation impossible.
AS a result, some 10000 people were
temporarily forced out of work. and a very
large payroll was temporarily suspended
And, on the publishers side, a huge amount
of holiday advertising business was lost.
This was only the beginning. To many
stores, and especially those which major in
phone and mail orders, the newspaper is the
dominant factor in advertising. 1t is the
only medium for usually offering goods to
vast numbers of potential buyers. No one
will ever know how much retail business
was lost because of the strike but many
Time was bought on radio and TV stations
But these media are of only limited value to
retailers for the most part, on top of that
relatively little desirable time was avail
able.
New York City has 10000 newsstands
and about $500 of them shut down entirely
All of the rest, naturally, suffered from the
lack of papers to SELL which are the back
bone of the business A considerable pro-
portion of the stands are One-man operations
which at best bring in very modest incomes
to the owners.
The effects of the strike went far. For
instance, Wall Street Journal article point
ed out what it did to the art and entertain
ment worlds. Two musicians had invested
$1,000 apiece to give recitalS at Town Hail.
in the hope that favorable reviews from the
critics would lead to engagements elsewhere
in this country and abroad. The music was
played and the critics were preSent-but
there were no places for the reviews to APP
pear. An artists agent commented, Good
reviews here can make an artists whole
year profitable. Absence of reviews can be
disastrous"
A play also opened during the strike
and no one knew whether it was hit or a
flop. Movie theatres and sports arenas had
no effective means of publicizing their at
fractions.
Finally, of course the public, which buys
100000 copies day of the New York pa
pers, was discounted. The news magazines
diverted extra copies into the city, but
there were not enough of them to meet the
demand
Whether or not the photographers
wage and other demands were justified is a
matter of argument. But there can be no
argument about the fact that the action of
a very small number of people in a case like
this can directly affect the lives of many
millions.

COMMENTARY ON COMMUNISM

Apparently the most welcome thing that
has happened in Russia in a long time is
MalenkOv's promise that the output of con-
sumner goods will be greatly increased, and
that quality, whichs has been miserably low
in many cases. will be improved. The New
York communist paper, the Daily Worker,
recently published a story from a CORE
spOndent who had just toured Russia il
which he said, 81 heard a vast and varied
tide Of conversation flowing around one sub
ject-the swift expansion of food prOduc-
ton and consumers goods in two or three
years."
The communists and their fellow travel
erS don't seem to realize that this provides
an lrOnic commentary on a system in which
the state decides everything and bosses
everyOne-and has a large assortment of
prisons and fOrced-labOr camps to take care
OF disSenters. The Russian peOple-eXcept
for the elite, who live on a regal scale-have
been lucky if they could buy enough in the
gOvernment-run retail stores to keep body
and soul together. Now, it seems, the store
stocks are to be bettered a bit-but at any
time in the future, if the Kremlin so de-
cldes, the gains can be wiped out overnight
by an order.
In this country factory or a store that
doesn't please the people goes brOke-be

tive and must earn public favor AS a mat

ton and distribution of goods is the best

Brazilian Police
Crack Down on
Communist Party

RIO DE JANE1RO, Brazil, Up
Police cracked down on the out
lawed Communist Party Thursday
after 48 hours of riots and dem
onstrations touched off by the
suicide of President Getulio Var
gas.
Amid increasing evidence the
Reds played strong hand in
sparkling the riots, aimed in part
against the United States, more
than 1000 Communists were I'M
der arrest. One was accused spec
ifically of burning a police car.
Copies of Imprensa Popular, the
Communist newspaper that pub
fishes openly despite the ban on
the party, were seized by police
in Rio De Janeiro. The newspaper
headlined its account of Wednes-
days demonstrations: "'Down
with Americans Rio residents
shout Indignantly in streets"
A dispatch from Port Allegro
said police raided an allegedly
Communist paper there and ar
rested the editor.
This capital city's commercial
life gradually returned to normal
cy Thursday. Public offices, banks
and shops reopened. A few troops
still were to be seen on the streets
but the heavily reinforced patrols
of the past two days were called
in.

Elimination of

Recommended

The Legislative Examination
and Investigation Committee Gre
ated by the Territorial Legislature
in 1853 for the purpose of i'm
proving the quality and reducing
the cost of the territorial govern
ment, has released a report on
their findings concerning the AL
aska Board of Health.
They recommend that the Board
of Health take appropriate action
to liquidate the marine units op-
Grated by the department and
dispose of the NC Health, NV
Hygiene, the Hazel B, and the
Yukon Health as they feel that
better service at less cost can be
done by air transportation. Air
also serves more of the isolated
villages than the boats and can
serve them faster.
The need for better water and
sanitation programs to sustain
these needs that are practical
were also stressed by the COM
mittee.
The committee also recommen-
ded that the commissioner pre-
pare a budget which can be
readily understood and which re-
fleets clearly the amounts and
sources of funds, actual and antic-
ipated available to the depart
ment."

ond Division representative of
