ing to have. this segment of the
economy start to move upward. Of
course it Is too early to assume
that we shall have continuous i'm
rrovement from here on but such
turn for the better adds weight
% the thesis that at least we are
beginning to bottom Gut and that is
4 primarily essential step for an
upturn.
Equally important with h G
growth of employment was an in

Of last August that stood at 40

How does all Of this fit into think

Within the Administration it is
taken as good news Of high order.
For example, Secretary Of Com
merce Weeks said that he thinks
there has been a definite turn for
the better in sentiment among
businessmen and consumers. and
that he is more optimistic His
specific prediction is fo~ only slight
changes during the summer vaca-

Some other Administration mem
bers believe the turn already has

MY own appraisal is somewhat
more reserved. These employment
data are strong evidence that the
business trend is bottoming out.
and II is difficult to believe that
we shall have much variation either
up or down over the summer 1t
is more difficult to believe that the
turn already has taken place for
the economy as a whole. although
unquestionably a few spots are
showing greater strength.
Whether We shall have an upturn

We may have, and certainly We
should have But We have lot Of

Case d the UnderpsId coot

In small southern town there
was Negro girl whose name
makes no difference with the case.
She worked for private families as
cook and she was a very poor
one for FIVE dollars week. This
was low wages but at that time
it was what even the better cooks
there received. The girl lived IN q
draughty crowded shack with her
own and several other families,
who. being Of the race they we're
and living in the state they did,
could AFFORD nothing better. This
girl first contracted tuberculosis
and spread it around where she
worked. and then she got in
trouble with the law for prostitu-
ton; and finally died in an institu-
ton, after costing the state quito
a bit Of money. What do you think
could have been done to prevent
some Of this, and WIN do you sIp-
pose II was not done7

The most : accepted view on how they came to the : chain is via the mainland after having : crossed the. marrow straits between Si- : beria and the Alaskan mainland. This is : because of the similarity of the Aleut " culture to the Eskimo culture, the lack : of populated areas on Kamchatka from : which they could have come, and the dis " tance of water between Kamchatka and : Attu.

Washington is free to buy milk from whatever
source he wishes, provided that milk passes
the purity and safety tests of the local health
department. Only by demanding to know
where this milk comes from can you know
whether or not it is from the Maryland & Vir.
ginia Milk Producers Association-the high.

Washington area.
Ifyou drink milk :. and want the very best

Many people have come to the conclusion that
"any milk sold in Washington and its suburbs
is as good as any other milk"
That is not the ease at all.
The professional, full-time dedicated dairy
farmers who are members of the Maryland &
Virginia Milk Producers Association (com-
prised of 1850 of the worlds finest dairy
farms) want you to know the difference be-
tween the different kinds of milk you can buy
in Washington and surrounding areas.
There are three important facts you should
know about milk sold in Washington and
neighboring communities:

Actually, some milk passes
only the health department tests-and that is
enough to insure basic purity; still other milk
passes tests by both the health department
and certain diaries.
But, whdt lOe choose to call "the worlds
highest quality milk" passes all three tests
by health departments, by individual diaries
who are supplied by the Association, and by
the Association ITSELF
1t is this last point that is of Uital impor-
lance to you. That's because milk that must
pass these tests is produced on the dairy farms
whose owners are members of the Maryland
