Today's Meditat on: There are
some who are naive enough to
believe that the basic conflict
between commun SIN and demo
cracy is economic in nature
They are utterly mistaken. The
conflict is between the kingdom
of militant atheism and the
Kingdom of God. The Kingdom
of God stands above all isms
and will remain mistaken and
unscathed, the harbinger of a
new day. = John Sutherland

profits of six leading bak-
ing companies declined from
approximately 40 of sales in
1947 and 1948 to 2.3 per cent
of sales in 1856 and 1857.
Commenting on the report,
E. E. Kelley, Jr., President
of the American Bakers As
sociation, said the information
was not particularly news to
the baker. "We are fully aware
of the climbing costs of oper-
ations," he said, adding that
"bakers deserve considerable
credit for holding the price in
crease in bread to a smaller
percentage than the increase
in costs of operation"
Smyrna times., 1959-02-19

The report titled, 'The
Marketing and Transportation
Situation showed that be-
tween 1948 and 1857 the aver
age price of bread has in
creased from 1890 per pound
to 1880 per pound. The farm
er's share of this price re-
ceived for ingredients-f1our,
shortening, sugar = declined
from SAC to 3.2c.
Increases in wages and
salaries (paid by the baker) +,
since they are the largest part
of the (baker's) expense, ac-
counted for the major growth
in the baker-wholesale mar
gin," the report states. "Be-
tween 1851 and 1857, average
hourly earnings for bakery
employees rose from SLAB to
$1.92. Indirect labor payments
in the form of fringe benefits
and social security taxes also
made advances and in 1857
probably amounted to more
than five times the 1945 level"
Combined costs of adver-
tsing and promotion and of
bakery products bought for
resale are more than three
times what they were in
1945," the report continued.
ut appears that packaging
and wrapping materials also
have risen in about the same
proportion. Delivery expense,
other than wages and salary,
has more than doubled and

Detroit Branch NAAtp
RAAtp Secretary Arthur
|. Johnson Says s

The following statement
was made today by Arthur
l.. Johnson, Executive Secre-
tary of the Detroit Branch
NAACP in connection with
the Housing Commission ,
selection of a new Housing
Director:
The Housing Commission
could have made forward
step today in its selection of
a new director. II failed to
do this.
The NAACP expressed the
conviction some weeks ago
that no member of the pres
ent Commission staff should
be elevated to the position
of director in view of the
Commissions past record of
racial discriminatory prac-
tees.
We therefore look with
great disfavor on the selec-
tion of Mark X. Herley. In
spite of this move, it is
hoped that the Commission
members will assert their
leadership yet toward achiev-
ing democratic practices in
our public housing program.

and living conditions Of the child
before you buy toys. A sled or
skates given TO a hoy who has
no safe place TO use them only
temptS him TO take unnecessary
risks and TO use them in unsafe
places or else they make him
feel frustrated because he cannot
enjoy them.
The tiny baby'S first toy
should be a bright one TO hang
where he can follow il with his
eyes. but not grab it, When he
is three to four months old. he
can grasp and hold a rattle A
child between one and two years
is learning fast and he needs
toys to push and pull, to load
and unload. to pile up and knock
down again.
A young child will be happier
il his holiday celebration is
spread over several days. II he
is given too many toys at once,
he is merely confused and be
wildered and his enjoyment di-
minishes by the confusion. Make
sure the toys you give him do
not have sharp points and that
they will not break or splinter
Avoid stuffed animals with glass
or button eyes which a child
might breathe into his windpipc
or shove into his ear.
Young children and babies are
sensitive to the emotions of those
closest to them. If there is a
baby or young child in your fam
nv. surround him with the feel
ing of security and warmth OF a
bappy family holiday and try
moi TO make Il too different from
the experience he is accustomed
"a ON other days. Don't over
whelm him with too many visl-
tors. too many toys. or too much
excitement. II you expect him to
have q happy Christmas, make
ulrc that he has enough rest by
preventing over excitement.

"As a matter of fact, |
