cities are getting more vulnerable
to war dangers, labor troubles,
and high costs. Corporations are
finding it easier to raise money
for capital expenditures. in the
small cities, rather than the large
cities. In the end, bankers and in
vestors determine locations.
Real Estate Values
I forecast that the prices of the
stocks of companies with all their
assets in big, vulnerable cities
may decline; while those with their
assets in small, safe cities may not.
My belief is that downtown real
estate values in some of the large
cities may be at their peak, but
that in the smaller cities such
real estate is still purchase. In
addition to the factors above, let
me remind readers of the curse
of the automobile and the down.
town parking problem in large
cities. Good roads, however, are
helping the small cities, which
should profit by President Eisen-
hower's proposal for. expanding
S1O1 billion for good roads.
Workers in the smaller cities
have a high character, are intelli-
gent, and may give more thought
to the ultimate consumer. Owing
to the lower costs of living in the
smaller cities, there are fewer labor
troubles where management is
reasonable. Labor has less turn
over in these smaller cities. TO

/ Like All Cities
l like small cities. This is nothing
against large cities. Both have their
usefulness. In fact, large cities
usually have some great national
advantage, such as nearness to
water power, like Buffalo or Mime
apolis; or location at the junction
of two rivers, like st. Louis, or at
the outlet of river, like New Or
leans; or having a wonderful har-
Dor, like New York. Nothing can
prevent such fortunately located
cities from always being great,
even if vulnerable. But today I

Dear Friends:
AS / have told you before Hayes
has never been overseas. He's had
a couple of trips down to Puerto
Rico. but other than that all of his
service for Uncle Sam has been III
the states. So any assignment out
of the country would be interest
ing, but Africa?
We had hoped that his first over
seas assignment would include all
of us. Lynne is eight now and
Dawn five and we felt the travelling
would be educational for all four
of us, but SAC (Strategic Air Com
mand) sent Hayes three months
TIDY Temporary duty which is
too short a time to send along de-
pendents.
The BAT got the boys safely and
quickly to North Africa without a
mishap. Hayes said when they were
in the air as far as the eye could
see there was no vegetation. or
course it was bad being away from
home, but it looked like Hayes
new home for the next 80 days
didn't even come close to the word.
The part we're most grateful for
is that Hayes is there during peace
time.
He is living in a hut that has no
closets, no bureaus, dormitory
affair with five other men with only
one. exit to the building. Rather a
luxurious trip abroad, wouldn't
you say?
Hayes very first morning in
Africa, he woke up to find an Arab
leaning over his bed (turban, bag
gy pants, dirt and alD. / guess he
just about jumped to the ceiling,
it frightened him so. When he be-
came awake enough he realized that
The native was after a broom be-
| hind his bed.

barrels and good water has driven
moonshiners to the use of substi-
tutes.
Sheriff j. z. McTeer reports that
recent raids show galvanized pipe

The water shortage arose with the

Partnership That Pays OFF

Most accomplishments of import
ance these days are done with the
cooperation of groups of people.
Many scientists worked together
to achieve the Salk vaccine, and
atomic energy. 1t takes the COM
bined efforts of labor, engineers
and financers to turn out a refrig-
orator or an ocean liner.
You might call it partnership,
a partnership of talents and re-
sources.
The government is trying to de-
velop our water resources now
through partnership with private
industry And it's working out
pretty well. Latest of these plans
is the offer of three utility COM
panies in the Pacific Northwest
that is the most imaginative and
on the scale typical of the way
they do things out in that open
country.
The Federal Government had
plans to build the John Day Dam
on the Columbia River navigation,
flood control and electrical out
put. 1t would cost $310,000,000 of
the taxpayers mone-' to build.
Three electric companies of that
area made this offer: They would
put up $273, 100000 of the money
for installation of the electrical
part of the dam in exchange for
the power over stated period OF
of years. Would be done with in
vestors money and would not cost
the taxpayers a cent. Thus the
government would get a large
dam for the bargain rate of $37,-
100000.
Besides, the federal taxes the
companies will pay on the sale
of this electricity will soon put
back into the u. S. Treasury many
times more than the S37 million
the government puts up for its
part of the dam.
Sounds like good economic COM
mon sense for the government tO
get a bargain in something, in
these days when the national debt
is soaring to new heights.
This gives real meaning to the
word partnership"

rumblings during recent months
about the status of baseball. is
the game getting too stodgy? Are
fans getting a good shake? What
about televisiOn?
The facts are that the great
national pastime has made tremen-
dous strides during the last dec
ade. If what the Commissioner
Of Baseball, Ford Frick, calls the
prophets of gloom" would eval-
uate some of the results, they
might change their tune.
Today, there is little or no threat
that ball games will be fixed,
largely because of rigidly enforced
no-gambling rule. The calibre of
ball players has noticeably i'm
proved, not only in playing ability,
but in craftsmanship and other
personal qualities as well. Racial
barriers have been torn down. New
cities have acquired major league
teams. Ball parks have been re-
furnished and frightened up. Night
baseball has become commonly
accepted. Raids on schools for
talent have been stopped. And
there are countless other improve
ments that have developed in the
last generation.
Even so, Commissioner Frick
and the baseball owners are not
satisfied to sit back and bask III
glow of seif-satisfaction. Instead
they have asked the independent
counseling firm of Stephen Fitz-
gerald and Company to make al
objective study and tell them what
baseball ought TO do next to make
the customers happy.
With such an attitude and sucf
complete acceptance of public
responsibility we believe baseball
is here to stay OF course the ma
tional game faces problems, bu
wherever there are problems there
must also be opportunities. Ant
we on gratu a e Commissioner
Frick and the baseball owners Oh
their constructive efforts to fint
those opportunities and Il
act on them.

GRADUATION, 1855

Thousands of young Americans, sheep
skins in their hands and armed with sublime
confidence, are "embarking on the Sea of
Life" as the graduation orators once dearly
loved to put it. They have had a great deal
of advice-some of it sound in the sense of
being useful and some of it sound in the
sense describing noise.
1t is fashionable to speak of the gradu-
ates leaving school and entering the world"
Actually they have been living in the world
while they were in school-it would be an
Indictment of the practically of our educa-
tional system to believe they were not.
Some of these youngsters are impatient
with their elders, anxious, as youth always
is, to prove that they can do better. This at
titude may be hard to live with for time
but it is at least hopeful. Heaven keep us
from graduating generation that is salts
fed with what it finds!
For the graduates there is confusion to
face, danger, insecurity and tension. Yet
there is also opportunity and room in which
they can grow to their responsibilities. They
have the examples of the past to illustrate
that no danger is too great, no insecurity
too pressing, if a man is free to work out
his own destiny. q
