THE WHY OF
TIGHT MONEY"

You've undoubtedly heard OF
the tight money" policy now be-
ing followed by the Federal Re-
serve Board - a policy which
makes money more difficult to
borrow and which tends to in
crease rates.
But you may have wondered
why the Board should find such
a policy necessary. U. S. News &
World Report explains in these
words: There is at present a
strong inflationary demand for
credit. Industry is seeking record
amounts to finance huge .expan-
sion programs. State and local
governments have vast programs
of public works. Builders are
pressing for funds to finance
more homes. Consumers are
spending record sums, and want
to borrow to keep on spending.
Meanwhile, most of the labor
force is already fully occupied
and unions are demanding and
getting wage increases. Many
production lines are operating at
capacity. With costs increasing
and prices rising, the possibility
of greater initiation threatens.
"The men on the Federal Re-
serve Board who shape money
for the government are
determined to keep this situation
control"

This is good news, for every
child should be able to go to the
circus periodically and we do
not limit this experience to chill
dren. In fact, some adults, who
remember the circus as the gay
est event of the year in their
childhood days, are even bigger
circus fans than the children.
They, too, would have been real
ly disappointed had the failure
of the Ringing Brothers Barnum
and Bailey Circus this summer
signalled the end of the road

HUNGARY HAS SHOWN
THE WORLD

The people of Hungary have
suffered the misery of a bloody
rebellion, but this sacrifice has
not been in vain.
Hungary has shown the world
the heartlessness of Russian
communism, and will perhaps go
down in history as the nation
that struck the death blow at
government by terror and OPP
preston.

: Suez Canal. England, France anc
Israel precipitated another wher
they invaded the canal zone with
troops, although they had pulled
out by the later days of Deem
Der.
1t was also a year in which
the Russians savagely attacked
the free people of Hungary, a
move which aroused the wide
spread sympathy of freedom
loving peoples everywhere.
The United States stayed out
of war, and prosperity for
most Americans - continued. 1t
is true that many farmers, small
businessmen and some workers,
whose employers went out of
business, did not enjoy the pros
perity experienced by many.
And 1887 may well be the
year in which the economy makes
or breaks itself. A continued
worsening of the situation for
the group of Americans, who are
not now as prosperous as they
have been, could mean a recess
sion. A change for the better,
which would provide them their
share of u. S. prosperity, could
mean many nor years of good
times.
Therefore, 1857 is a year of
hope. 1t should be a year of
prayer also in behalf of peace.
Since most of the economic fore
casters and corporation executives
predict that 1857 will be another
good year, the prospect is that
1857 will prove to be another
successful year for Ameri-
cans.

HOLIDAY

1t is estimated that between
five hundred and one thousand
Americans will celebrate the
Christmas and New Years Day
holiday period by snuffing out
their lives in automobile acct
dents.
So much is written about safe
driving that it is almost repe-
titious for us to repeat u sug-
gestion that all drivers exercise
care during the holiday season.
We can only add this to our Oft
repeated warnings:
The holiday season in Deem
Der comes at a time when day
light consumes the shortest Pc
riod of the twenty-four hour day,
and when icing conditions and
bad weather are often experience
ed. Therefore, poor visibility,
short daylight hours and utterly
congested traffic and overloaded
highways invite you to become
one of the five hundred to one
thousand Americans who will be
killed during the holiday season
this year.
If you are not one of this
number of fatalities, you might
be one of a far greater number
of casualties, many of whom lose
an arm, or a leg, or their eyesight,
or who are cut and SCARED for
life. This would be a very poor
way to celebrate the holidays,
and we suggest that all citizens
who drive stay off the highways
during this period whenever pos
sible, and take double safety pre-
cautions when they must travel
on them.

course in what seems like only
a few months. Now, 1857 crowds

which the American people chose

Unanswered questions arc
piling up on my desk again, so
I thought that today we would
take a look into the Question
Box"
@. Should a hostess be
served first when entertaining
at a dinner when both men
and women are present?
A. The hostess who helps
herself first when women
guests are seated at her table
is committing an objectionable
breach of good manners. Con-
sideration for ones guests
should be a hostess first rule
of courteous behavior and by
serving herself first the hostess
is really presuming that she
considers herself above her
women guests. This thought
stems from the tradition that
royalty, when seated with COM
moners, is always served first.
Perish the thought that a
hostess should place herself IN
this position!
Also, in the days Of the Bor-
gias, it was considered a duty
for a hostess to sample the
food first, to prove to her
guests that poison was not
contained in the food. Such
expression of thoughtfulness
not being necessary today, we
hope, it would seem to be q
foregone conclusion that .
hostess should always be the
last person served at her own
table.
@. When to stand and when
TO stay seated Is q question
that often puzzles not only the
teen-ager but the adult woman.
What are the rules with regard
to this?
A. Even though I run the
risk of being called "stuffy"
by the teen-ager, it is my firm
belief that a young lady should
stand when an older woman
comes into the room. If visit
ing a friends home. always
stand when her mother enters
and stay on your feet until
she either seats herself or
leaves. To my way of thinking,
a young man who doesn't rise
the minute a woman enters a
room is definitely indicating
that he is mo gentleman"
The gracious adult woman will
always stand when her hostess
enters to greet her. She would
not stand for another woman
unless she is very distinguished
or old, or both. The same rule
