warned this week that the bus

tinued after the Christmas sea-

Yves Baxter, Executive Director

still are not paying their own way
despite the fact that many shop
pers have informed the Board of
the usefulness of the service.
"Unless patronage increases to
the point at which the buses will
be self-sustaining," Baxter said,
"the Board may be forced to take
them off the road" The current

Godqets in the Economy

Whether the business trend of the immedi-
ate future is up or down, the American hunger
for new products-gadgets big and nttle-is
reasonably sure to be one stimulating factor in
the picture. Indeed, President Eisenhower in
his Economic Report to the Congress listed "the
development of mass markets for host of new
consumer goods" as one of the powerful forces
Of growth in the national economy.
A tabular breakdown Of output of new
products since the end Of World War lin
cluded in the Presidents report-gives some
idea of the impact which this line of industrial
development and marketing has upon the econ
omy. For example, the manufacture of room
air-conditioning units rose from 10000 in 1916
to IL million in 1858, of television sets from
5000 to 7.25 million and of home freezers from
100000 to IL million. These were only few of
the relatively new "gadgets" on the market and
there were equally impressive developments in
plastics synthetic hbers, detergents, etc.
The high production of consumer goods,
either newly developed ones or tested favorites,
obviously does not assure their ready sale or a
high level of business turnover. It is part how
ever, of what the President called "the resource
fulnesS Of individual enterprise and the new
horizons that have recently opened up for the
consumer" There is some reason to share his
cautious optimism that this combination will
have constructive effect in the months ahead.

Byron Price and the u. N.

The United Nations will lose one of its ablest
and most devoted servants when Byron Price
retires on Monday. He has been its Assistant
Secretary General since early in 1947, and in
that capacity dealing chiefly with administra-
tive and financial affairs, he has played key
role in putting the organization on It's feet as
an operating reality. His heart has been in
this work. He has been dedicated to it. And
as q result he has made an international con-
tribution comparable in Importance to his ma
tional contribution during the Second World
War as chief Of the Office Of Censorship.
Mr. Price, in kind of valedictory talk, has
said a number of timely, common-sense things
about the United Nations. While acknowledging
Its shortcomings, he has reminded everybody
that 1t has already stopped some wars, "has pre-
vented others from breaking out and has made
really notable progress toward easing the eco
romic and social tensions from which most
wars originate :. If anything were to happen
to it, the search would have to begin at once
Tor some other agency to take its place" Sum-
ming up its achievements to date, he has de-

A Law That Is Sovinq Lives

The quick death administered by virginia's
General Assembly to bill for repeal of the
States second offender" speed law was justi-
fed. The law, one of several passed by the
Legislature two years ago in move to make
Virginias highways safer, provides for suspen-
sion of the license of any motorist convicted
twice within year of speeding.
In 1851, the year before the Assembly passed
the law 900 men, women and children were
killed in traffic accidents in Virginia. In 1852
the deaths dropped to $50 and in 1858 the total
declined to 905. State Police Superintendent
Woodson has attributed part Of this steady fall
in fatalities to operation of the second offender
law. Since the act became effective more than
1000 permits have been suspended
Virginia has found that the best way to
deal with reckless motorists is to rule them off
the road and anything which tends to reverse
this policy ought to be rejected.
