The Briqht Future

Experts cay we can increase our
standard Of living about three per
cent a year-which means that
more people each year viii be able
to possess the fruits Of American
industry.
This in turn will be felt in the
Improvement u our schools, hos
pitfalls, parks, highways re
search centers-- everything that
we need and want for ourselves
and our children.
At the same time, by the nor
NAL, dynamic development Of free,
capitalistic enterprise, we can
create even wider ownership Of
American industry.

faces. and you most likely would
never have even noticed them, To
tell you the truth, was quite sur
prtsed. especially at some of you.
