headache for the Administration
it has not affected selling SER
iously, except in a few one-in-
dustry localities such as, for in
stance. coal mining centers. De-
troit can be badly hurt during a
recession or at model-changing
time. but employees laid off over
the longer term can gradually
be absorbed by other industries
spreading out into previously
all-auto sections.
l look for a continuing expan-
sion of the working force and
of employment generally in 1862.
Even the jobless rate. which has
been lowering around z per cent
for about a year, has suddenly
begun to move lower, and now
stands. seasonally corrected, at
81 per cent. Government eco
nomists are rejecting more
optimism. One insider, in fact,
recently estimated that the un-
employment rate may be down
to as per cent or even less by
years end. At any rate, the
current course of employment is
now strongly upward, the trend
for unemployment gradually
lower.
Buying Psychology Powerful
The nervousness and doubt
evident during the recession now
seem to have given way. in
considerable degree, to renewed
courage and confidence with re-
guard to domestic prospects.
Buying psychology in 1862 viii
be far less cautious, and even
luxu-ies will be q good deal

A person should bear in mind,
the Communist conspiratOrS are

All they seek is passiveness.

DOSTAL rates will be raised to cents
for first class letters, and proper
tionate increases down the line for other
postal services. Possibly a showdown
vote in the House of Representatives
Will come this week Debate begins to-
day. The new rates will bring into the
treasury an additional 1921 million.
The administration is over-emphasizing
this increase all out of proportion in
its promise to balance the budget. If
postal rates are not raised the budget
can not be balanced, is the impression
given the public
1t is interesting to note that the
postal increase bill for 1861 which was
unsuccessful, proposed additional rev.
enue of 1851 million. Thus $40 million
appears to be the increase in postal
costs during the year. What might we
ask will be the increase next year,
Postal service is one of the central
governments oldest public services.
Benjamin Franklin was Deputy Post
master in America l737) and Post
master General for the Colonies (1753)
under the King until summarily dis
missed by him in l774 The Second Con-
tinental Congress created the Post Of
flee Department with headquarters in
Philadelphia in ITS, with Benjamin
Franklin as Postmaster General. The
Department was under the Treasury
Department for many years becoming
an executive department in 1872.
We cite these facts in recognition of
the value of this service from our
earliest history. The service in the earli-.
er days was of no less value than to-
day. Dissemination Of correspondence,
news and necessary information has
been its purpose. These detectives were
held in high esteem for generations.
Postal rates were kept uniform and rea-
sonable in order that the public would
be served fully and generally.
In recent years many additional SER
vices have been dumped on the Postof-
flee Department, parcel post, the
transportation of packages, formerly
served by private enterprise through
express companies, was added at rates
below cost, thus adding to the postal
deficit and practically eliminating ex-
press service. Third Class matter, dir
ect mail, ETC., added to the postal de-
ficit. Many other services, such as
money orders, savings bond sales, and
others were required of the postal en-
ployees, far afield from the original
purpose of the postal services. Recent
ly contributions to several funds have
been assigned to the postal employees
- all of which was and is not a duty of
the postal services.

Babson Discusses Retail Buying Patterns For 1862

BABSON PARK, MASS. JAN
uary 18-In my 1862 annual fore
cast for readers l predicted that
retail trade will set fresh records
during the new year. Not all eco
no1nists are of the same mind on
this matter, so I would like to
PORT out my reasons for expect
ing historic highs in retail buy
ing in 1862. Retailers from the
largest to the smallest, from the
big cities to the tiny hamlets,
could be affected by the de-
veloping trend.
Money In Buyers Hands
First off, it should be en-
phasized that workers earnings
have been climbing steadily ever
since the depression Of the 1905
with only an occasional tempor-
airy correction. The gains over
the past ten years have been
continuously gratifying, bringing
up the standard of living for
the country as a whole. More
and more people have had
enough money to put aside in
bank accounts, insurance, NUT
ual funds. and other forms of in
veStlnent.
Since the beginning of 1852.
average weekly earnings as well
as average hourly earnings have
risen over 40 per cent. Even
after tax deductions, the basic
condition and morale Of the wage
Garner has been steadily on the
rise. To demonstrate that the
uptrend is still strong, it should
be noted that over the past
twelve months hourly earnings
have gone up per cent and

Many Children Hurt
On Way To School

A pupil on his way ITO or from
school is making a hazardous
journey and sensible precautions
should be taken, safety official
suggested yesterday.
An estimated $4,000 childre
were hurt while travelling to and
from school last year, ]. James
Ashton, manager of the Delaware
Safety Council, said.
An important fact for all motor
lists to remember ait this time of
year is that state law requires
vehicles travelling in either direc-
tion to stop for school buses which
have yellow arm extended. The
yellow arm says STOP, and is
used when children are getting on
or off the bus. On dual or divided
highways, having a mediIan strip,
only those vehicles proceeding in
the same direction as. the school
bus must stop. Watch out for
those yellow buses = they're back
in use," Ashton said.
In spite of that law, children
should be taught to look both ways
before crossing a street or high
way to get on or off a school bus
Ashton said.
If your child rides a bicycle t6
school, make sure he knows thai
he should ride on the right side oi
the road, give hand signals in
dicating turns or stops, and other.
wise obey the traffic laws. They
apply to bicycles as they do tx
other vehicles.
If the child walks to school he
should be shown the safest routs
| and taught to cross any streets ol
| highways at intersections, t e
making sure there are no vehicle:
| approaching.
If you drive your child TO school
avoid dropping him off across tn,
street from the school or making
it necessary for him ito open THE
door ON the street side of the car
And don't double park or stop to'
close to a crosSwlalk.

world is light or dark to us as we
bring or fail to bring the needed
light"
Like candles venturing forth o
see the world, two people leave the
sheltered life of a village church
to seek their fortunes in a neigh
boring city. By chance they come
to reside within several blocks of
some another. 1t is not strange,
therefore, that they come to join
the same church.
Five years go by, and a series of
untoward events induce them t o
return to the village from which
they had come Both call upon
their former pastor to seek rein
statement in the church of their
youth. By chance they happen to
call on the same afternoon. AS the
first arrives it is quite natural for
you like the church of the city to
which you belonged while you were
away?" The reply was instant -
and petulant Il did not like it at
all. The people were hard to get
acquainted with and awfully cold.
True, l did not go to the services
very regularly and usually hurried
away to catch my bus immediat-
ely after the benediction. Yes, 1
was invited to attend some of their
organization meetings, but they
came On the night of my bridge
club or when / had other special
engagements, and SO l did not go.
| don't think they were anxious to
have me either. And the pastor =
well, his sermons may have
been all right, but they seemed
pretty dry to me. At times they
were too personal also. He seemed
to be preaching right at me and l
didn't like it"
The second caller, arriving about
an hour later, was met with the
same questions asked of the first,
but the answers were very differ
emit, "The people were simply
splendid and did everything to
make me feel at home By t b e r
friendly invitation l affiliated with
several of their organizations and
was happy In sharing their social
hours and their work And the pas
tor well, his sermons were in
teresting and helpful. He seemed
to sense my souls needs and met
them wonderfully we'll. 1t was q
blessed experience for me to be-
long to this fine church"
When both callers had gone, ths
pastor turned to his wife, who ha1
heard both conversations and said
Il wish more people would realize
that in many ways the church il
pretty much like a bank you
cannot draw out more than yor
d put in, and that it is forever true
that
Life is like rebound from a
garden wall.

The worlds weary troubles and

In silence he suffered
In patience he bore

And while he sleeps peaceful

His memory we shall always keep
A helping hand to all he knew
He was so kind, so generous and

On earth he nobly did his best
Grant him Jesus heavenly rest
