Dear Friends:
Mother asked me about her and

newspaper in Kansas has had
scads of copy about this remark
able. past middle ago woman
from England who had set her
sights on walking across the United
States.
If you'll remember she stayed
in Topeka two nights and those
nights happened to fall last week
end. That was a weekend to end
week-ends and / hate to report to
you | just didn't see this intrepid
female-altho' I have reams to
write to you about her. The 9th
was the last day of school here.
That evening Hayes had business
at the MARS station at Forbes
and / went along. Saturday was
Lnney's birthday and besides being
busy with that big event we were
invited out for dinner in the even
ing. Sunday, of course. was the
never to be forgotten 18th birth
day fracasi And sandwiched in be-
tween all these doings was DR..
Moore's entrance into this fair city.
From the time she entered
Kansas to the west until she ar
rived at Kansas City, Mo. she had
trouble. She publicly stated she
would always remember Kansas
for its tornadoes, sand storms,
snakes and its strict highway laws.
Various times she would have to
be driven into the nearest town to
escape the severe storms. A high
way patrolman notified her in
western Kansas that while she
traversed his state she would have
to walk facing traffic. She claimed
that because of having to obey this
rule she became more worn, her
leg muscles were more tense and
she soon suffered with the much
publicized TWO quarter size
blisters!!

The Dow-Jones Industrial Stock
Average has declined from a high
of 685 on January 5, 1860, to under
600, from which it is just rebound
ing. Manufacturer are wonder
ing why commodity prices have not
broken CORRESPONDENCE The main
reason is the increased costs of
labor. All the basic industries are
well organized and producers are
timid about cutting wages for fear
the union leaders will call strikes.
PRICE STABILITY
This overall price stability does
not apply to all commodity quota
tions. We have seen widespread
declines in wholesale prices for
food stuffs; and farmers expect to
receive less for 1860 crops.
However, owing to the demand
by consumers for small quantities
of foodstuffs which they purchase
at the supermarkets, retail prices
have remained high. 1t not only
costs retailers more to sell small
items, but the cost of packages and
displays is greater. Supermarkets
present a fine show which appeals
to consumers. but in reality their
prices are not as low as is gen.
orally supposed.
SUPPLIES ADEQUATE
In most cases, supplies of raw
materials are sufficient or can be
increased rapidly if prices should
rise. Therefore, changes in most
commodity prices may be down.

while. An analysis of price trends
should consider foreign demand

After Sunday breakfast, the

some new and exciting exper-

They made cookies, cupcakes, and
candy and sold them on the
grounds on Fair Day.
The hike was the first outdoor
activity of the spring. The scouts,
again with Mrs. KINNEY and Mrs.
Westphal, hiked out to the VFW

moved along. They had lunch and
a treat of somor (graham

AM AMERICAN Plague


One of the unbelievable things about our
great country is that we continue to allow
the slaughter of hundred citizens day on
our highways and city streets. There is moth
ing that can be written about this cancer in
our American way of life that will change
the situation overnight
There is little to be written which has not
already been covered more eloquently before
by someone else. Nevertheless, those charg-
ed with the responsibility of writing editor
ials for the nations press cannot see the con-
tinuing carnage on the highways, year after
year, with a stilled and quiet pen.
What is to be done about the killing,
which is more deadly than any war? If we
are so emotionally disturbed (and rightfully)
about the slaughter of mankind in wars, why
are we less disturbed by equally unjust kill
ings of little children, boys and girls, and
adults, by automobiles and trucks, by drunk
en-, careless, or unlicensed drivers?
No one answer can be offered as solu-
tion to this great American oddity. The only
solution lies in thoroughly aroused public
opinion, which in its wrath, will finally de-
mand that adequate steps be taken to curb
the slaughter. When this day comes, patience
with drunken driving, with unsafe vehicles,
with repeated offenses, and with fragrant
violations of speed and safety laws will end.

GOVERNMENT JOBS AND OUTSIDE
MONEY

A Senate subcommittee recently heard
testimony that SIT ,500-a-year government
official received $287, 900 in the last seven
years from outside business activities
The testimony prompted one Senator to
question the propriety of an official receiving
outside money while holding a government
job. In this case, the official repeatedly told
his superiors he was receiving an "honor-
arium" for the outside work
However, he did not say how much mon
ey he got; and testimony indicates that he re-
ceived various sums of money, from time to
time, from the sale and reprint of scientific
articles used to advertise and promote drug
products.
We have always been opposed to govern
ment employees, or members of the armed
services, receiving money from publications
or from reprints of articles, etc. Perhaps
the most fragrant violation of this policy has
occurred in the armed services, although this
would be difficult conclusion to prove.
Nevertheless, in the Air Force, for ex-
ample, there have been officials in the Infor-
nation Services Office, and flying members
of the Air Force, who. received nice sums
from magazines for articles, and received
outside monies from other sources.
How can an Air Force officer accept mon
-ey from magazine, for a special article, and
give equal treatment to all other magazines
and to other publications?
For obvious reasons, these people in the
armed services, and those in other branches
of the government, should not be allowed to
accept outside salaries while they hold gov
ernment jobs. A government job is job
which requires impartiality and dealing
with people, publications, and businesses on
an equal and impartial basis. Such objective
impartiality is impossible if one is in the
pay of certain firms or publications.

OAKS FROM ACORNS

People with no experience in retailing
may think that it is comparatively simple
sort of business-that all you have to do is
rent a shop, stock it with goods and sit
back and wait for the customers to come in.
But things just don't work out that way.
Retailing is far from an exact science, and
even the most experienced of retailers can
make expensive mistakes, as an editorial in
Chain Store Age points out.
For example, store location is an omni-
present problem. The chains, of course, are
highly experienced. Even so, the editorial
says, they .. cannot predict with certainty
how much sales volume a projected store will
generate" And the developments of shop
ping centers has produced new and SINH
lar difficulty. No one can now say, for sure,
what mix of stores in one of these centerS
will produce maximum traffic and trade for
any particular store.
The fact that retailing is far from an
exact science, and that questions such as
these cannot be finally answered, is all to
the good. 1t means that the field is wide
open for people with new ideas, new concepts,
new attitudes Some work and some don't.
But retailing offers the man with desirable
ideas all the opportunity in the world to
grow and to prosper, even though he begins
on a modest scale. There's no more competi-
tive business on earth The big chain store
of today was the little store of yesterday.
And big stores of tomorrow will grow from
tiny shops of the present.

LET'S EMPHASIZE OUR STRENGTH
It's one thing to keep a close watch on
what the Soviets are doing, and to carefully
eyaluate their achievements on the basis of
the best available data.
It's an entirely different thing to go from
this to the belief that, if we are to stay ahead
of Russia, we must initiate her system and
her ways.
That warning, in effect, was recently
given by Vice President Nixon. The Wash
ington Post quoted him as saying that the
Russians have made some of their biggest
strides using American forms of individual
competition "At time when they are NOV
ing our way, the greatest mistake we can
make is to move their way" he went on.
There is tendency today to say the way
to get things done is to have the Government
step in and do more, the way it is done in the
Soviet Union. would say we cannot make
any greater mistake than to follow that phil
osOphy in the United States.
"The Communists have a monopoly on
bureaucracy. We should emphasize our
strength-creative private enterprise"
1t would be great thing for this country
if more political figures, of both the parties,
spoke out in similarly fortnight words in
stead of flirting with the left-wingers.
