THOSE WHO work with il, led by Ron de Lugo, have
done a significant Job, and deserve unstincted praise Tor
their efforts and their vision. But we are sure that as the
wears pass they not only see areas of improvement, but visions
will become more extensive and g%randiose. Too, as the Festi-
val takes(on greater stature, cooperation is. more readily OBJ
tanned and the biggest plans easier OF execution.
WE, ALONG WITH the planners, dream OF the day

when thousands Of tourists will find themselves in these Is
lands for it, and make plans to combine business with plea

The Caribbean rather welcome, and further, coming, as it
were, at the tapering off stage Of the winter traffic, the Fes-
tiyal could very well fill a substantial gap.
AS FOR ST. CROIX, it, too, has its place in this Fest
val. Flying time from St. Thomas is just 25 minutes, and
there are two round trips daily. There are those who want
to take in life here for a time, highlighting it with the ac-
tiyHies Of the Festival. There is also the opportunity to take
care of the overflow, and at the same time make its own
contribution in its own way.
USING THE Festival as the kay, we could concentrate
much of their advertising and public relations to focus atten-
ton on these Islands, their history, vacation possibilities,
and the like. The Festival could be very much more than a
period Of amusement. Having jumped off to a good start,
the going should be relatively easy.

Swedish Boom Slowed Down, Economy
In Better Balance, Savings Increased

STOCKHOLM, Oct. % = (By
airmaiD. - The Swedish business
boom has slowed down somewhat,
according to the fall report of the
Institute for Economic Research
The excessive demand for goods
and services that developed during
the fall of 1854 and the early part
of this year has been cut down,
and the new economic-policy
measures, including an increase in
interest rates, that were adopted
last spring have not yet, it seems,
exhausted their restraining effect.
Imjorts levelled off during the
spring and summer. The labor
market remains strained, but for
the country as whole the demand
for manpower show an increase OF
around Is per cent since last year,
or the same as from 1858 to 1854,
but other capital expenditure has
expanded at a slower pace. Con-
eupmtion, on the other hand, will
reach approximately the same
level as in 1854. Personal savings
have increased considerably, and
the rise in production may. be
estimated at about four per cent.
# nothing unforeseen happens
abroad, the slackening of the
business boom will probably con-
tinue.

last year was about So per cent
larger than before the war, accord
ing to Handelsbanken, one of the
leading commercial banks. Per
inhabitant, the advance amounts
to 38 per cent. At the same time
several significant changes have
taken place in the composition of
consumption. Rents and similar
expenditures now account for only
8.5 per cent, compared with 1872
per cent in 1938-39. Liquor, other
beverages and tobacco, on the
other hand, have advanced from
rs to 81 per cent, taxes, of course,
absorbing substantial part of the
total expenditures. About 6.3 per
cent Of total consumption goes to
motor vehicles, against SO per
cent before the war.

FAMOUS FABLES
BY E. E. EDGAR

FAVOR: Knute Rockne, No
tire Danes great football coach
had a talent for rousing his
young proteges to fever pitch
before a game. One autumn,
he took his team South to play
Georgia Tech, which was a top
heavy favorite.
In the dressing room, Rockne
pulled a telegram from his
pocket.
Boys" he said, his eyes brim-
ming with tears, i've just re-
ceived word that my son is des-
perately sick in the hospital"
A hush fell over the dressing
room.
II don't usually ask for IA
vors. boys" he continued, "but
I want you to win this game
not for me. but for my boy. It
means the world to him"
There wasn't a dry eye on the
Notre Dame team as the players
filed out. That afternoon they
ran Tech into the ground, win
ming by five touchdowns.
When the players returned to
South Bend, they found a crowd
of cheering students waiting fol
them at the station. The robust
little chap in the van Of the
welcoming committee was none
other than Rockne's son, who
was supposed to be lying al
deaths door in the hospital!

came about.
Planada: In order to settle an

to use?--MRS. G. o.
A. "Irregardless" is what is

the actual meaning Of irregard-
less is mot without regard
which is the opposite of the

Another strange coincidence is
that his dissertations always ap-
ply to the bids and plays Of his
partner and his opponents. II
he himself could have done
something better, he doesn't make
that public at all.
In today,s deal he gave Mr..
Abel a rough going-oyer for (as
he said) losing two tricks in the
play.
Mrs. Keen opened the eight of
hearts. Her partner won with
the ace and shot back the seven.
Mr.. Abel won the second trick
in dummy with the jack of
hearts. He then led the queen
of spades from the board and
let 1t ride. Mrs. Keen won with
the lone king and returned a
heart for her partner to ruff.
The ace of diamonds put the
contract down one.
What are you playing-give-
Rway?" demanded Mr.. Heinsite.
How many hearts do you think
there are in the deck?"
without waiting for Mr.. Abel
to answer. he went on, "After
eight hearts had been played on
the first two tricks. somebody
had to be out. Surely you know
enough to get as many trumps
out as you can, when you are
afraid Of q ruff. just bang down
the ace and another spade.
Even If you don't drop the
king, you get all the trumps
out II they're divided 90. AS
it happened. you would have
dropped the king and from there
on even you couldn't help taking
II tricks.
Imagine" he continued, look
ing to the other players for
sympathy, taking a finesse In
that situation"
No sympathy was forthcom-
ing.
