l understand that such an open-air
four-story garage costs about
100000. At any rate, my guess is
that during the years ahead there
may be more money in parking
automobiles than in selling auto
mobiles! Wise are the city authori-
ties who now spend money to buy
up old buildings and install park
ing lots. In fact, such parking lots
are a city's main hope, combined
with proper advertising and SER
vice for downtown retail stores. In
this connection l repeat a former
forecast that all new retail stores
will be larger, will be confined to
one floor, and that clerks will be
on roller skates.

If parking on streets is elimi-
mated, this will speed up traffic and
should help the bus companies of
each city. On the other hand, more
traffic lights should be installed at
crossroads. The speedier the traf
ic, the more traffic lights will be
needed. The question is, how will
the waits and congestion at these
cross streets be eliminated? This

Hearings of the Consumers Study
Subcommittee of the House are of
interest to every American who
eats, and of particular concern to
those who pay the grocery bills,
since the avowed purpose of this
body is to consider ways of reduc-
ing retail food prices.
The general impression gained
from the first session, however, is
that on the nutritional front things
are not so bad. DR.. Omer Herman,
marketing expert of the U. S. De-
partment of Agriculture reported
that food prices are about the same
now as in 1851, 1852, and that peO-
pie are eating more and better food
than before World War II. For
some years now, people have been
spending about 25 per cent of their
"disposable income" on food, while
II per cent of it would buy what
they ate in the 1930's.
We're not sure whether "dispos-
able income" is what's left after
Uncle's tax-collectOr has gone
through your pockets, or even later
when you've gotten up the rent
and the payments on the color TV.
But a more accurate measure of
food costs, it seems to US, is how
many hours of toll you swap for
that full market basket. For in
stance, we learn from the Milk In
dustry Foundation that an hour of
factory labor paid for 81a quarts of
milk in 1856 and only 4 quarts in
1929.
This comparison also points up
another observation of DR.. Herr
man. He noted that while new,
"built-in" services such as food
prepackaging, preceding, freezing,
concentrating and other improve
ments and innovations since 1910
are costing the consumer six billiO
more dollars a year, the total gro
Gerry bill has taken the same bite
out of the take-home pay since
l947. Thus fresh fluid milk, as it's
cost in terms of human effort de-
creases, is clearly a major offset to
the higher cost of the modern"
foods designed to save time and
work for the housewife. To a grow
ing extent, it appears, the food bud
get is balanced with milk.
This healthful solution to an
1ge-old problem is doubtless what
g. Raymond Brock, president of
he Milk Industry Foundation had
in mind when he discussed the $50
,alled" milk surplus before re-
,ent meeting of the Dairy Institute
f California. He warned them "a

eity", and said that "our efforts
must be in the direction of market

City Legislation Needed
OF course, the first thing which
all cities should do is to keep all
trucks off streets during the busy
hours,-with deliveries permitted
lnly between s p. m. and p. m.
This should be done at once, in
every city having a population of
over $4,000. The next step would
be to eliminate all parking on
downtown streets. A start has been
made on this: but the problem has
not been tackled heroically. Park
ing meters are a step in the right
direction, but they are not the ulti-
mate solution.

THE ADMINISTRATION AND ECONOMY

The ADMINISTRATION AND ECONOM1
The economy wave which has swept Con-
gress, and the nation, is producing cuts in
the Presidents budget, the largest ever to be
believe that the budget is going to be cut
and that it should be cut.
However, in criticism of the Administra-
tiOn-on economic grounds-it should be re-
rnembered that this Administration is now
completing its second year of operating in
the black. While it may be proposed to spend
more money than is wise, it cannot be denied
that the Administration has lived within its
budget in the last two years and proposes to
do so next year.
This is an achievement of which the Ad-
ministration can be proud, even though it
might be argued that the Administration is
attempting to spend too much money in the
coming fiscal year. Generally speaking, when
the Government operates in the black, it is a
sign of at least a safe economy which helps
to produce stabilizing influence in the ma
tion and makes for a stronger currency
abroad.
Therefore, if Congress cuts the budget
as seems inevitable-and reduces spending
for the coming fiscal year, the Administra-
ton will probably operate well in the black
and wind up fiscal 1858 with q surplus of
several billion dollars. Depending upon the
extent of this surplus is a possible tax cut,
perhaps retroactive to January l, 1868. When
we say this, we assume that this session of
Congress will vote the tax cut, and there is a
chance that it will be retroactive to the first
of next year.
There is still some hope that tax cut
may be voted at this session. Prominent
Democrats have gone on record as saying
they are in favor Of it. However, it must be
remembered that the President has a veto
power and will probably use it if he does not
think the tax cut wise at this time. Mr..
Eisenhower has indicated that he does not
think the Administration is operating solid
iy enough in the black to permit the tax cut,
now, and thus veto would be likely. There
fore, it seems that successful tax cut bill
will not come along until next year.

ADVICE FOR WORKERS

The National Association Of Mental
Health has come forward with some good
advice for people who suffer from tensions
that is to say, for almost all of us. A book
let published by the group points out that
certain amount of tension is helpful in some
situations, and that reaching for tran
quihzer is by no means always the best So
luton.
The conditions of life in our complex
society make certain amount of tension
from time to time almost inevitable. Life
for most of us is not placid but consists of a
series of challenges and perhaps aggrava-
tions. These tend to build up worries and
tensions. Dr. George S. Stevenson, author
of the mental health groups booklet, argues
that such tensions should be dealt with in
telligently.
There is nothing particularly new in his
advice but it is sound and well worth repe-
tition. For one thing, Dr. Stevenson says,
worry should not be bottled up within one.
1t should be talked out, if possible; the mind
should be diverted too-with book, movie,
a brief trip-to give it some relief from con-
centrating on worries. Anger can be worked
off by games or physical activity, even by
such a mundane thing as cleaning out the
garage or hoeing the onions. Dr. Stevenson
also advises us to give in occasionally, take
one thing at time, do something for others,
recognize that all human beings have faults
that must be allowed for.
This is a sound approach. 1t is based on
the idea that individuals can do much about
their own mental health just as they can do
much to keep themselves physically fit. Pills
and nostrums are no guarantee of physical
health By the same token, tranquilizer pills
do not get at the root of worries, tensions and
other common mental ailments.

THEY JUST FORGOT

A foothill town lived in fear of destruc-
ton. Every summer, when the mountain
snows melted, flash floods inundated the
town. Bridges collapsed; houses were swept
away; people drowned.
The townspeople got together to end this
threat. They raised money and hired ex-
perts to construct scheme of protection.
This consisted of series of dams and chan
nels to trap the flood waters upstream and
divert them around the town. Three flood
gates controlled the systems. By turns the
townspeople were to watch and work the
floodgates
, For time they did. Then, one after an
other, they found excuses. Their jobs were
pressing; they didn't have time; they put it
off or forgot about it. The gates remained
unguarded.
One night flash flood swept down the
mountainside and wiped out the town.
The U. S. polio story is not unlike the
story of this town. For years we lived under
the shadow of polio paralysis We spent time
and money to find preventive. Now that
we have 1.-THE Salk Vaccine--we neglect to
use it. Only one polio-susceptible person in
ten is properly vaccinated. The polio season
is upon us and once more we tremble in fear
of epidemics.
If we are to escape them, over so million
Americans must be vaccinated. 1t takes three
properly spaced Salk shots to set up maxi
mum immunity If you are under 40, don't
wait till disaster strikes. Vaccihate at the
earliest opportunity.

THAT LAST SMOKE

Not long ago, sparrow found a cigaret
on the street and added that interesting OBJ
ject to its nest of sticks and dry grasses.
This was a mistake. The cigaret was burn
ing. Soon the nest was burning. The spar
row, being awake and agile at the time, is
now presumably building another nest else
where. Human beings have responded to this
little tragedy of the bird world with humor-
Gus suggestions that, after ALL even a spar
row should know enough not to smoke IN
bed.
The incident was humorous, all right, but
it lends point to fact often emphasized by
fire safety experts and ignored by all too
many smokers. Smoking in bed, far from
being fit subject, for humor, has been the
cause of many a grim tragedy.
There is something pleasant about last
pipe or cigaret smoked in bed while reading
at days end, granted The trouble is that the
smoker, being sleepy, sometimes drifts off
into slumber without putting out his cigaret
or placing his pipe in safe spot. The glow
ing cigaret falls from listless fingers, the
mattress begins to smolder, and in many
cases suffocating smoke kills the victim even
if flames do not break out. The pattern is one
familiar to firemen throughout the United
States. 1t is a pattern to avoid.
