PROMOTION

One of the flour manufac-
turers, for the past several
years, has sponsored a COM
petition for home chefs in
which the final contestants go
to New York for what is call
ed ''Bake-off." Now a sew
ing machine company is hold
ing a contest that the finals
will be called a "Sew-off."
Next thing you know some ski
manufacturers will be holding
"Jump-off." Or how about
soft drink company sponsoring
a "Pop-off" ? And If the tele-
vision programs don't improve,
we can all go to New York for
a "Turn-off".
DO IT YOURSELF
Best part about a do-it-

front of the fire reading the
instructions.

A botanist is just a guy who
works for a florist.
DELINQUENCY
The reason we see so many
small children on the streets
at night is because they are,
afraid to stay home alone!

tons as to why the movie is
not shown in color rather than
black and white? You figure.

RICHES
Only trouble with being rich
is that you never get the thrill
of paying the last installment.
KIDS
A spoiled child is one. who
won't take no, No, NO, for an
answer.
TRAVEL
From the looks of the load
ed cars going south, it appears
that the vacationers aren't
getting away from it all
they're taking it with EN-!
PROFANITY
The girl who swears the
most is the girl who swears
she has never been kissed.

And girls the best way

AiLiNG
Heard one about a fellow
who hadn't been feeling at all
well. After a check-up, his
doctor said, Well, Bill, my
advice is to give up golf and
start working for a while!"
DREAM WORLD
We know a guy who doesn't
believe in dreams-he married

Politicians shouldn't be paid.

WELT
Opportunity only knocks
once. Temptation has a key to
both doors.
FASHION
The only real improvement
in wOsnen's fashions we've not

Defense Outlay

Al Same Rate
BY the Associated Press

The Defense Department, big
gest spender in Government, will
continue to pour money into in
dustry during 1855 at about the
same pace as in 1865.
AS the year ended, defense
expenditures for weapons. equip
ment. food. clothing. pay and all
the other things needed to keep
the armed forces going. was ap-
preaching a monthly rate Of s35
billion.
A large part Of defense spend
ing goes directly to industry and
labor, for the production Of
hard goods"
AS an example. during the
current fiscal year (which ends
next June 800 the Defense De-
partment probably will pay about
$40 billion for Air Force. Navy
and Army planes. And guided
missile expenditures may total
about SIS billion.
This is money that goes direct
ly into the pockets of wage
earners and industry owners
into the booming national eco
nomy. Conversely, the money
also comes out Of their pockets
and tills in the form Of taxes
Cutbacks Offset
Last year there were cut
backs in some areas Of defense
spending but these reductions in
some items are Offset by other
| factors.
/ The Air Force will continue
/ to get the biggest share of de-
tense spending money. This is
accounted for not only by the
modernization program tsuch
as the replacement Of the obso-
descent B36 piston-jet engined
heavy bomber by the B52 all
Jet but by the expansion Of the
! Air Force.
! At the years end. the unit
strength of the Air Force stood
at l27 wings. "a wing varies
/ from rs fighters to 80 heavy
bombers) The goal is to have
1877 wings by mid-1957. New
wings. requiring more planes
thus will be added during 1856

PITTSBURGH. Jan. 4 R.-
Coal production in 1855 took its
first upward turn since 1851.
Producers estimated a 50-mil-
lion-ton increase in production
for a 455-million- ton total.
A fast-growing electric utility
industry. surprisingly good steel
business and an improved foreign
market all contributed to the
gain. Steel and utilities alone
used 20 million tons more coal
than 1854.
In 1854 postwar low for
the industry-394 million tons
of coal were burned. Some of
that came from stockpiles OF
previous years.
Through the first 46 weeks OF
last year. the Nations railroads
reported 5.806,230 coal cars
loaded, compared with 4,967, 92S
through the first 46 weeks of 1854
