YOU NOT ONLY have the

the job. Have you been to
your doctor with the problem?
He might like to try a drug
like amphetamine or Ritalin
to take around noon. This
should keep you more alert
while at work. And the best
way to overcome your long
maps before regular bedtime
is to keep out of that rocking

that new construction will have

He pointed to a survey of the

the directive would have a de-
teriorating effect upon the

Previously, builders have
known their market or at least

This year many builders will

"On the bright side of the

not be a problem in 1868. We
also know that in 1862 there

However, it rates first in the

many favorable factors ex-
pected to continue.
While some trade leaders
mentioned a profit squeeze and
expressed concern that failure
to gain tax cuts this year might
unsettle consumers, they leaned
to the optimistic side on urban
development and other COM
munity problems.
General Rise Predicted
"The economic outlook for
the Metropolitan Washington
Area in 1868 is bright and vir-
tually all segments Of the busi-
ness community should share
in the general upswing," de-
clared Charles E. Phillips, pres
ident of the Washington Board
of Trade.
Employment in the area
should continue to rise. Federal
Government employment, over
257,000 in october, has in
creased about 4 per cent during
the year. An increase in 1868
is expected. Furthermore the
Government pay raise in 1862
has brought the Federal pay
roll for the year to an all-time
high of $1.9 billion.
Mon Federal employment
has increased at a slightly
higher rate. Established busi-
nesses are expanding and a sig
nificant number of new enter
prises have moved into the

I'VE are bullish about 1868
prospects for Washington's Sec
ond largest industry, the con-
vention and visitors business.
The 1862 record undoubtedly
will be exceeded.
Throughout our country
people have more leisure time
to travel, savings are at an
all-time high, the campaign to
bring foreign visitors to the
United States is bringing re-
suits and Washington is pre-
pairing to accommodate them,"

Good business in the Wash

as well will depend greatly on
a tax cut in 1868. declared Pat
rick A. Deck. president of the
Merchants and Manufacturers
Association.
There has been so much talk
and promise of tax cut that
the failure of its enactment
would bring uncertainty and
fear to many people and tend
to cut back spending by the
consumer" Mr.. Deck predicted.
Although corporate profits
have increased in some busi-
nesses, we find many firms
with an increase in gross sales
and q decrease in net profits" |"
he added. Increased costs, the
need to improve man-hour pro-
duction and knowing the proper
way to merchandise products
all call for critical self-analysis
by local businessmen" he said.
Unnecessary expenses must
be decreased, customer service
must be improved and new ac-
counts must be solicited and
carefully retained If corporate
profits are to show substantial
gains.
Personal savings accounts in
savings institutions of the area
are at an all-time high which
means that consumers are in a
position to speed up expendi-
lures at any time" he added.
"Area employment reached a
record high in october and jobs
still are available for qualified
employees in every field. Actu-
ally, there are less than 10000

to obtain now. would pour even

ity If 1t goes through"
