One frequently hears the word
boom" used in connection with the
current business trend. To the ex-
tent the term means merely that
the recovery is almost all-inclus-
i've and is continuing, this is good
A boom however, is always follow
ed by a recession. or worse, and
in this Sence it is not desirable
to have persons think that we are
moving out Of recovery at a rate
OF advance which can only be &C
curately described by the use of
such strong term.
But the economy is moving for
ward and at a rapid pace. For
example.
GNP 40 Billion Over 1858
Gross National Product, the
monetary value of all goods and
services produced in the nation and
our broadest measure of the econo-
mic trend. set new all-time high
in the first quarter of this year
$40 billion above the first quarter
Of last year The second quarter
will show another significant in
crease.
Personal income in May was at
a new all-time high: So billion higher
than April. and SIG billion above
last December.
Retail trade has risen consistently
through the year and is now about
10 per cent above a year earlier.
Automobile sales are at the high
est level for this time of year
The Farmville herald. (Farmville, Va.) 1957-current, 1959-06-30

since 1855. and it is generally eX-
pected that we shall have total
sales Of domestically produced cars
of at least 5.5 million. On top of this
perhaps 500 900 foreign cars will be
sold.
Average weekly earnings in manu-
featuring reached a record $50 in
May and the work week rose to
40.5 hours, indicating an increased
amount of overtime
Industrial production reached q
new high This is measured by the
index Of the Federal R e serv e
Board, which uses 194749 as equal
to 100. The May figure was 152, as
compared with the recession low in
April. 1858, of 1876 Durables and
nondurables shared in the advance
and both are now above the pre-
recession high.
Inventories continue to climb. In
the first quarter Of last year in
ventory was hquidated at an an
nual rate of SO billion. The rate of
liquidation declined from quarter to
quarter in 1858. and in the first
three months. of 1859, inventories
were accumulated at az annual rate
of S. billion. This is a swing OF
Sl4 billion. and has been major
factor in the business trend. Over
! all figures are not available beyond
the first quarter of 1859 but the
rise has continued.
Expenditures for new plant and
equipment turned upward in the

first quarter Of this year. and
every survey since has revealed
further revisions on the upside. No
one anticipates that we shall. in
1859, reach the high Of 1857. but
the influence is on the side of bet
ter business.
Private housing starts. on sea-
sonally adjusted annual rate, fell
slightly in May to 1.34O 900. How
ever. no one questions that this will
be good housing year, and over
all construction continues to be
excellent.
Employment in May, at &C mil
lion. was the highest for that month
in our history Unemployment, a
source of considerable worry, de-
clined sharply to AZ per cent OF
the civilian labor force Last win
ter the rate of unemployment was
running per cent or little high
er, and while the present volume
of jobless is larger than anyone
wants to see, it is evident that We
shall not have a continuation o.
unusually high unemployment.
Retail Price Index Fairly Stable
1 Prices at the retail level have
just topped their previous high By
one-tenth Of one percentage point
4 This is the consumer price inde>
of the Bureau of Labor Statistics
This index has been stable for g
year. as a result of declines il
! food prices off-setting rises in Other
4 items. The May rise reflected al
increase in food as well as other
items The wholesale price index
also remained stable as a resul
OF declines in the prices Of farm
products and foods being enough
to offset gradual increase in the
prices Of industrial commodities.
Business profits continue to clint
and dividend payments 50 far thi'
year are slightly above the cor
responding period of 1858.
With this type of factual news be
ing published day after day, anC
the above representing only some
of the broader items, it is easy tt
understand why persons should be
gin to wonder whether We are en-
tering a boom. Perhaps we are. bu

continues to be true. 6-24-59

John Adams Put The Fireworks In
Fourth OF July Birthday Event

In 1920, when Henry VIII m t
Francis I on the Field of the Cloth
Of Gold in northern France, the his
toric moment was celebrated by
the appearance Of huge dragon
that Numbered across the sky
breathing fire.
BY the l600's, fireworks had de-
yelopeG into such an art that two
schools Of thought had arisen to
argue over methods of display.
The Southern school. conferred in
italy. concentrated on building
elaborate structures such as castles
and temples, from which the fire
works were exploded The technique
Of setting off the fireworks was
shrouded in mystery.
The Northern school, influenced
/ by the Protestant movement in Ger
many, thought the Italian procedure
I smacked of popery. The Northern
es's exhibited their fireworks before
the show. for all to admire and
\ then made them the important part
Of the display.
A While the two school tuned over
their firecrackers, fireworks cross
/ ed the Atlantic and became an
American institution.
Thomas Jefferson is remembered
v most as the author of the Declara
ton Of independence. However. The
World Book Encyclopedia notes
that he was also the foremost

translator Of Greek plays, a
Yiolinist and the inventor of the

DUAL CAPACITY

The chief constable of a small
English town was also a veterinary
surgeon. One night the telephone
rang. The chief constable's wife
answered it.
Is Mr.. Blank there?" said an
agitated voice
do you want my husband in his
capacity Of veterinary surgeon or
as chief constable?" inquired the
woman rather pompously.
Both, madam" came the reply
We can't get our bulldog to open
his mouth. and -- there's a burglar
in it,"
The Farmville herald. (Farmville, Va.) 1957-current, 1959-06-30

Who put the fireworks III t h E
Fourth of July?
Much of the credit goes to John
Adams, according to The World
Book Encyclopedia The Founding
Father declared that Independence
Day ought to be solemnized with
pomp and parade, with shows,
games, sports, guns, bells, bonfires,
and Nominations. from one end Of
this continent to the other. from
this time forward for evermore. II
So, from that time forward, the
birthday of the U. S. has been
marked by brilliant explosions Of
color and noise and the deaths
and accidents that Invariably ac-
company them.
Americans. however, got the idea
for fireworks from Europeans, who
got the idea from the Arabs, who
merely copied the Chinese
In 1882 A. D., when a Chinese
city was besieged by Mongols, the
defenders cooked up a batch of
saltpeter, sulfur and charcoal and
frightened their attackers With ar
rows of flying fire"

The majority of citizens Of Prince

for all governmental units who
would have control of their local
government. For the supervisors of
