The Home Stretch

An increased pace of the legis-
lative process is very noticeable
in Congress these days. Legisla-
ton which has required lengthy
hearings since the beginning of
the year is being scheduled for
floor consideration. The COM
plexities involved with the con-
sideration of bills already passed
by the Senate and which are now
before the House (and vice
versa) are being noticed. Num-
erous conference committees ad-
justing the differences between
the House and Senate versions
are at work. Controversial items
are being pidgeonholed and it
is reasonably certain that any
legislation which has not by this
time received the recognition OF
a committee for consideration is
likely to be a lost cause for this
session of Congress.

Despite the present state OF business,
Noble county stands out as richer market
than most, according to new survey of buy
ing power, made by Sales Manager
The copyrighted study, containing de-
tailed figures on incomes and consumer
spending, covers every part of the country.
Earnings were at high level in Noble
county during the past year, it shows Local
residents had net, disposable income, after
payment of personal taxes, of S13,267,0 900, as
compared with $13,O02,000 in the previous
year
What this amounted to on penthouse
hold basis was determined by dividing the
dollar total by the number of households. 1t
came to $39O2 per household, as against
$3,715 in 1856.
1t was 6.5 percent improvement, which
was more than was achieved generally in the
United States, 81 percent The East North
Central States rise was 3.9 percent
With incomes high and with the feeling
of confidence that prevailed throughout most
of 1857, local residents spent freely.
AS result, retail merchants had good

FOLK LORE TALES OF OLIVE
Notes by A. Wade Wells

The cause of this movement
has been much discussed and, to
my knowledge, no one has come
up with an answer that was
accepted by everyone and prob
ably never will, for why should
such an interesting question ever
be settled and deprive us old
codgers of one of our favorite
subjects of debate? Certainly I
don't feel qualified to answer
this moot question and would
not if / could, but here are some
Of the causes brought out in the
past. You could take your pick
and consider the problem solved
but l know you will not and l
hope you do not
Some say it is a supernatural
force unexplainable by any
natural law of physics.
Pranksters? Well, hardly. This
ball will weigh well over a
thousand pounds and has no
handles. The only place to take
hold of it would be the before
mentioned rough spot and the
lettering. Not very likely.
Ghosts, witches, pixies? Well,
maybe so. l have heard of many
pranks attributed to restless
souls trying to impress or con
tact earth-bound mortals.
The elements? Probably rair
or melted snow settling in the
depression under the ball, ther
freezing hard, later thawing
slightly on the sunny side ano
again freezing only on the shady
side, could cause this movement
What do you think?
Natural phenomena? Again
perhaps earth tremors too Sigh
to be detected by humans (earth
quakes), tides in the earth;
crust caused by the moon; vibra,
tions caused by thunder anc
lightning.
No doubt we and future gen
erations will continue to discus!

right answer, but ! hope they

On GlaAihington
with Rep. John Henderson

Statisticians deal with charts
and figures which can be inter-
preted in many ways. One per-
son may take a set of figures
and arrive at most pessimistic
conclusion. Another can find a
silver lining, or even promise
of a pot of gold at the end of the
rainbow, in the darkest storm
clouds. I recently saw an indica-
ton of what can happen in set
of figures dealing with the cost
of food.
In 1852, certain sack of groc-
cries could have been purchased
for $9.l7. Today, that sack OF
groceries, if the figures can be
believed, cost 1924. The optim-
ist finds a bright side to the
price increase. In 1852, the aver
age factory worker had to work
five hours and forty-one minutes
in order to buy that sack of
groceries. Today, even though it
costs seven cents more, he
has only to work four hours and
forty-four minutes in order to
purchase it. He can buy it with
nearly an hours less work. The
optimist has only begun his mes
sage of cheer. He reminds us OF
what the Florida Chamber OF
Commerce would like to forget
if Florida frosts had not boosted
the price of orange juice and
tomatoes, that sack of groceries
would have cost only 1888. The
fact still remains that the sack
of groceries costs $9.24. Grandpa
would have raised most of it in
the garden, and traded his sur
plus for what he couldn't raise

WHY DOES IT HAPPEN?

In the Olive cemetery, near
the extreme north side, in the
so-called new addition, that is
new about seventy years ago,
there is beautiful granite
monument dedicated to the
DAVIS family.
The unique thing about this
monument is the perfect sphere
mounted on the top of the
column. This sphere is not an
chored but there is one rough
spot on its surface about six
inches in diameter which no
doubt was originally intended to
hold it in place but alas, it did
not, and why not?
In our modern times, this ball
could be called sputnick or
traveller because as many people
have noted, it does travel. Over
the years l have seen this rough
spot in all positions from top to
bottom. l do not know its posi-
ton now but l wager to say ii
is not on the bottom and if it
should happen to be, it won't
stay there.

out of the savings, invested
capital and improved techno-
logy that created more goods
per unit of time and energy.
Not unions or legislation, but
fewer obstacles in the way of
capital accumulation and in
vestment, made possible the
enormous growth of our econ
omy and the higher levels of
living that came with it.
The way Of Reuther to bring
about greater employment is
to increase what he calls buy
ing power through higher
wages regardless of cost or
productivity, through continu-
ing initiation, which eventually
brings about the very condition
he seeks to correct. Initiation
can cure unemployment only
by curtailing real wages for
the wage Garner. He gets more
money, but the money buys
less. And the unholy march of
initiation toward ultimate col
lapse goes on. Truly, whom
the gods would destroy they
first make mad.

Lansing, Mich, where it was first identified;
and Type 3, or the Leon type, named after a
Los Angeles boy who died from it.
In different parts of the country one
type may, at any given time be more pre-
vaent than the others. If, for instance, you
are going from California, where the Leon
type may be most prevalent, to New York,
where the Brunhilde type may be most pre-
valent, your natural immunity may no long
er protect you. Or, even if you stay home, an
influx of vacationers may bring in other vi
rus types heretofore less prevalent in your
area.
The virtue of the Salk vaccine is that il
protects you against all three types. But un-
less you have been vaccinated yourself you
cannot be sure of immunity. Play safe and
make vaccination a part of your vacation
preparations.

Buying Power High

topping the prior years $10,033,0O0.
Although most retail lines recorded
gains, few, especially in the heavy appi-
ance fields, did not. Soft goods, in general,
did better than hard goods.
The report shows, through buying
power index" the ratio between the amount
actually spent for goods in each community
and the amount that could have been spent.
The index is a weighted figure, based on
population, income and sales.
1t lists Noble county, with an index Of
0O5l, as able to produce that percent of the
nations business.
Since more than that was done last year,
OO55 percent, it follows that considerable
amount of the local business comes from out
side the area.
An upturn in the nations economy is ex-
pected in the early Fall by many analysts.
BY then the counter-forces to recession will
have made themselves felt, they say. Busi-
ness inventories will have been depleted,
forcing an increase in production. This will
boost employment and restore confidence.
People will forget their fears and start buy
ing more freely.

"TempOS" Fugit

was pleased to note that one
of the hideous temporary build
ings in Washington on Constitu-
ton Avenue, between 18th and
18th streets is being torn down.
These temporary buildings, nick
named "Tempos," which were
constructed before and during
both World Wars as a result OF
the phenomenal growth Of our
government in activities, per-
sonnel, and expenditures are q
blot upon the beauty and aesthe-
tic value of our Capital. They
are also monument to bureau
cracy.
Unfortunately, the monuments
may be torn down, or if they are
not, will someday fall of their
own weight, but the bureaucracy
which caused them to come into
being will remain with US.
Though the temporary build
ings are being removed, new
and expensive government office
buildings are being constructed
in Washington, in the surround
ing metropolitan area, and here
and there throughout the ma.
ton. At the peak of their use
in World War II, there were g.,

THE WAY TO RUIN
BY DIR. Alfred p. Haake

Whom the gods would des-
troy they first make mad"
Thus wrote our American poet,
Longfellow. strangely prescient
of collective bargaining in the
Year of Our Lord 1858.
For the powerful UAW-CIO
leaders are demanding the i'm
possible, which, if won by
them, would carry us another
long step toward the destruc-
ton Of our economy and econ
omic freedom. The men who
are negotiating for the auto
mobile manufacturers are
carrying a responsibility far
beyond the immediate interests
of their own companies, work
ers and stockholders. They are
in reality carrying the ball for
a return to sound economies
and common sense as a basis
for industrial peace and gen
ulne prosperity.
In the full flush of arrogant
self-confidence, blinded with a
kind of madness, Walter Reu-
ther promised his minions that
this year they would get more
at the bargaining table than
they ever got before. This was
to be the biggest package. And
he began his publicity prop
aganda well in advance of the
expiration of current contracts.
Among the demands were
sharing of profits on an impos-
sible basis and increased wage
rates that would make pre-
vious concessions seem modest.
Now that the recession has
revealed consequences of pre-
vious unsound bargaining and
economic practice, the ignoring
of economic fact in setting
wages without due regard for
productivity or the free mar
kets out of which too high
wages may ultimately price
any product, facing heavy in
ventories and decreased sales
that promise even more unem-
ployment unless justified con-
fidence is restored-Mr. Reu-

ther faces the unpleasant pros
pect of losing face over his inn
possible demands. CharacteriS-
tically he blames someone else
for his own error, and now ac-
cuses the other side of not bar
gaining in good faith.
OF course, to Mr.. Reuther
bargaining in good faith means
only one-Way street with
more and more yielding by the
other side and without COM
pensating concessions from
himself. In addition to his shar-
ing of profits demand, he is in
sisting on higher wage or
monetary benefits that come to
more than 73 cents per hour.
As revealed in a public news
release by Louis c.. Seaton,
vice president III charge of
General Motors personnel
staff, General Motors has
already offered more than
benefits which have been ac-
cepted by the UAW in settling
other major agreements. 1t is
this more than he has already
accepted in other agreements"
at which Mr.. Reuther turns up
his nose as mot bargaining in
good faith"
Many employees have writ
ten to the management f0vor-
ing acceptance of the offer
made by management. A prom
inent economist, concerned
over the need of lowered
wages, costs and prices, goes
so far as to criticize General
Motors for offering so much.
1t may be well to remind
ourselves that merely raising
wages is a fools paradise. The
real purchasing power consists
of the total volume of goods
and services available for ex-
change. 1t is through increase
of this real purchasing power
that the United States has
achieved the highest level of
living in history. But the re-
sulting prosperity is not the
result of raising wages without
commensurately raising pro-
ductivity. What we call the
American Way of Life grew

Vacation Hazard

Preparing for vacations takes work. Lug
gage must be checked, clothes bought, reser-
vations booked, milk and newspaper deliv-
cries stopped electricity and telephone shut
off, house plants gardens, lawns and pets pro-
vided for.
If you are going abroad you need pass
ports visas guide books and whole series
of vaccinations. This year there should be a
new vaccine on your required list-the Salk
vaccine.
But even if YOU are not leaving the coun-
try, vacation time is still a dangerous time
for polio infection. One reason lies in the
nature of the virus.
There are actually three types of polio
virus that cause paralysis. They are known
as Type l, or the Brunhilde type, named af-
ter chimpanzee from whom it was first dis
covered; Type 2 of the Lansing type, from

He constructed a rolling"

the fence from moving, once a
suitable range is found.
Swiftly explains, "this solves
the problem of taking down

and re-setting them again"
Now, he just hooks his tractors
to both ends of the fence, and
