SUPERIOR

Superior School is embarking on
one of its big projects of the year.
Since it will involve both children
and parents, part of the news of it
will be told about in the PTA
Column, and part of it here.
Briefly, it is to be an operetta
based on "The Mikado" by Gilbert
and Sullivan, and it is intended to
show that children want to learn
what they do learn, and do learn
what they want to learn. About
forty children and forty adults -
the latter including both parents
and teachers will be involved in
the production 1t will be put on
in the middle of February.
To show how long it takes to
get ready for an ambitious under
taking of this sort, the script for
the operetta was written way last
summer by Miss Wilda Bayes,
Superior principal, and Mr.. John
Jirus, a teacher at Superior, the
director.

MAYFAIR

Social studies are being taught
to the Mayfair second and third
graders this year by means of a
project entitled Workers in City
and Country. The daily life of
Indians, Colonial settlers, and mod
ern people are being compared,
showing differences in their food,
clothing and shelter.
The children's themes and work
books are geared to practical living
questions centered around these
projects such as the growing and
processing of food. As part of
their study of living conditions in
Colonial times, they are planning
trips to the Historical and Natural
History Museums to study the
Daily Living displays. Mrs. Vera
Gray, third grade teacher, is max
ing arrangements for these trips.

CALEDONIA

Several Caledonia children are
becoming real troupers this month.
They are members of the cast of
"Snow White and the Seve n
Dwarfs", a musical play being
presented by the Children's Theatre
On The Heights, to twelve schools.
The Children's Theatre, a part
of our neighbor suburbs Recrea-
ton Boards activities, meets for
rehearsals every Thursday after
school at Caledonia. Mr.. Jerry
Leonard is the director. Three
Caledonia children have leading
roles in the "Snow White" produc-
ton: Mary Beth Conrad, Margaret
Renton, and Mary Kotsch.
The play travels from one school
on the Heights to another, with
Caledonia performance being
visited today. The troupe started
their "tour" January 9th at Rox-
boro School, and ends at Coventry
School on January 31st.
All performances are after
school, so the young actors and
actresses are still keeping up with
their regular school work. But
what we would like to know is,

Were this years demands for
autos and housing as great as
those of the last year or two,

ELECTION DAYS

"ins" and as problem by the "outs."
In recognition of the important-if not
decisive-role the pocketbook issue is likely
to play in the coming presidential and con-
gressional elections, The Sunday Star presents
on this page survey of the economic outlook.
1t is designed to give preview of the voters
economic mood on election day-November 6,
just six months from today. We deal with the
general business outlook and with the posi-
lions in which wage-earners, farmers, con-
sumerS and beneficiaries of Government
spending are likely to find themselves. Also,
we inspect the arguments Democrats and
Republicans are marshalling for the economic
phase of this falls campaign.

POCKETBOOK POLITICS-A PREVIEW

There is political maxim asserting that
people vote their pocketbooks. That is to say:
If times are prosperous, the voters feel
friendly toward the party in power and want
to keep it there. But if times are tough, they
want change.
This is far too sweeping to be completely
true. Other factors can outweigh the
''pocketbook issue" in elections-as they did
in 1852. But, as with most maxims there is
central grain of truth. That is why the sight
OF a polls-bound voter disgruntled oyer the
flatness of his wallet is most worrisome to a
politician who is "in' and cheering to an
"out" And, conversely, why the contented
voter is rated as money-in-the-ba by the

purchasing power of the dollar
declined from 70 cents to So cents,
they declare.
Tie Democrats don't agree. While
the cost of living has remained
fairly steady. they say imitation has
taken the form of increased hidden"
costs for necessities since 1852
which have cost consumers more
than SO billion-such as an IL per
cent rise in rents. per cent in gas
and electricity and per cent in
medical care. The only reason the
overall cost of living has remained
steady, according to the Democrats,
is the severe drop in farm prices
which has brought lower food cost.
But the 3.2 per cent drop in food
prices has been far less than the
III per cent drop in farm prices.
Falling farm prices are admitted
by all to be the major soft" spot
in the Nations economy. In 1855,

enormous program of plant and
equipment expansion. For these
purposes industry has planned to
spend some $35 billion in 1856.
1t is likely that the figure will be
increased before the year is over.
The American Telephone 81 Tele-
graph Co. alone plans to lay out
q record So billion in IL months
for new facilities. All this pumps
dollars into the stream of orders
and payrolls.
Labor looks forward to increased
income this year. Package" deals
negotiated in 1855 are taking effect
and new ones, kicked off by the big
steel wage negotiations this sum-
mer will augment take-home pay.
Employment is full and the labor
force is growing.
The farmer, on the other hand.
has a much less bright outlook.
Unless heroic steps are taken by
the Government-and none seem
in prospective farmer can expect
to do no better in 1856 than he
did in 1855, which he rates as
depression year.
Consumers generally are in
spending frame of mind. They
have not been buying as many
new cars this year as last, but they
have been spending on other things.
Good Yeor for Building
In construction 1856 is proving
to be an excellent year. Starting
in January, 1855, private housing
turned downward, but housing ex-
pertS are looking for a pickup.
other construction in any case has
been excellent and will make up
for any slack due to housing. This
reflects not only the plant expan-
sion of private business, but heavy
spending of governments for roads,
schools, hospitals and other facili-
ties.
Considering that the economy is
working at capacity. it is fortunate
for the country as q whole that the
auto and home-bullding industries
have had to slow down. For, in do
ing so, they have released resources
that are now going into new plant
and equipment. The latter will
ultimately increase our industrial

farm income was down more than

Some Questions

The generally reassuring picture
could, Of course, be changed by
events now unforeseeable. Here
are some of the questions raised in
discussions of the economic future,
and comments on them:
Would war in the Middle East
change the outlook?
A war would certainly bring about
major economic adjustments here,
just as occurred in 1850 when the
Korean conflict started. But as of
now the war danger in the Israel
area seems to be receding.
Whot happens If peoce negotiations
between eost and West reoch
the point where octuoI disormo-
ment begins?
A major cutback in the produc-
ton of defense goods this year APP
pears unlikely no matter what hap
pens internationally. Even if such
a cutback should occur, it doesn't
follow that the economy would col
lapse. After all, we had tremendous
defense spending cuts in 1854 with
out economic hardship.
Is the possible termination of Eu-
ropes economic boom q threat?
For the next six months there is
no sign of collapse in the Euro
pean boom. The pressures there are
toward more expansion.
