Jrlet lei Merchandise Warnings against inflation are be ginning to reach us country people with increasing force and frequen cy. Nearly all the experts who com ment on it say we have inflation al ready but it can get much worse. Accurate definitions of inflation are rather complicated. In fact, some of the definitions are harder to un derstand than the condition itself, such as we all can see by looking around. When Just about everybody has spending money in their pockets be cause they can't find enough of the things they want to buy, that is where inflation begins. The results are quite natural. Automatically people start bidding against each other for what items they do find, and prices advance far beyond real values. Then, no matter what we buy, we are squandering money. Regulation Prices. What we need to cure inflation is plain to see: more things to buy. That's all it takes. If I need a hat and can find only one that fits my head and suits my taste, the dealer can (unless restrained by law) i charge me whatever he wishes. I may rebel at the price but some body else will pay it and the mer chant will not need to worry about me. What will set the matter straight? More hats! When hats are offered by every Haberdasher in town, some compet itor is certain to lower his prices to increase sales. Another will try to outdo him, and this competition continues until falling prices get too near cost to go cheaper. It is that simple. Goods are the scare-crows that frighten away inflation. What ever interferes with the production of merchandise only makes infla tion worse. Artifleial Feeding Inflation is like hunger. It la a want that has the full force of a need. Hunger includes a craving that throws a person's sense of values completely out of plumb. Food is the only satisfactory answer to the hunger question and, just so. goods are the only sound solution to inflation. There are trick ways to hold prices down, when goods hoc* to be scarce, but they are only tem porary help. Once in a while somebody has a strange ailment that makes eating impossible, or very dangerous. Physicians deny such a patient food while they try to adjust the malady. Sometimes they use drugs to make the patient sleep and forget his crav ing; sometimes they flow energiz ing liquids into the blood-stream, but it is no diet. Nobody can live on it; it only makes starvation slower. War Is a Malady During the war, people in Amer ica were rightly denied goods; there were not enough workmen; not enqpgh factories, not enough ma terials to supply the nation's de- j fenders, our men and their allies. Consumer goods were scarce and a lot of people had extra money. : All prices would have skyrocketed | but government restrained it by law. It was an emergency?drastic rem edy; no complaint. Price controls did not contribute anything permanent to this coun try's economic strength, however. They simply eased the shock for civilians who had to undergo eco nomic surgery or perish of dic tatorship. Now the ordeal is over and the patient is wholesomely hun gry for merchandise. Every regu lation that now retards production should be removed or relaxed in the public interest. Evidence of tuberculosis of the' bone has been found on the mumified bodies if early Egyp tians. WHY DO PEOPLE ACT THAT WAY? Answers to Interesting questions of I human behavior will be found in "Mirrcr of Your Mind ' illu^tarted feature appearing regularly in the Pictorial Rtview j Bright Set-lion Lm Cotor With Tlie Baltimore Sunday American Order From Your Newsdealer SUBSCRIBE FOR THE GLEANER Your New Home Four Fundamentals to Bear in Mind In Your Home Ownership Program By W. WADSWORTH WOOD Vj OST of us have two basic life 11 ambitions. First of all, every one wishes for success in career or business. Secondly, virtually 11 if everyone hopes some day to build | his own home. Now is the time to iIimI9 realize that second UlUMIS desire. Recent ad vances in design and manufacture -place miracles comfort and con jagfeMgt venience within the reach of everyone, and perhaps as soon as you are ready there will be large quantities of material and labor available again for residential building. Careful planning is"the sure path to satisfaction for the home plan ner. Chart each step with care, and your desired home can be built with out regrets. KiA 1 II The prelude to building include* (our fundamentals, of which the first is finance. Determine thought fully the amount you can afford to spend for a house, including fur nishings and equipment. Then check over your savings to approximate the money you will have available for the down payment. This should represent approximately one-fifth of the total expenditure, and the balance may be provided for by a long - term amortization mortgage which you can pay off like rent. Be sure that your income is adequate to maintain these montly pay ments, which include interest on the loan, amortization of the principal, and real estate property taxes. Don't fail to keep a little money in re serve to provide for unforeseen con tingencies. You are now ready for step num ber tiro: planning. Make a thorough study of all home building maga zines, books and manufacturers' lit erature to acquaint yourself fully with features you will like. List these as well as your space rw ' - *>? a quirements, and select a house plan that most nearly approximates your ideal?within the limits of your al lotted budget. This brings many im mediate decisions. What architec tural design do you prefer? How many bedrooms and baths should it have? What will be the size of the living room? Where will you locate the kitchen? These and many other points definitely decided will help to fit your exact needs. It is best to confine yourself to essentials at this stage, as you will have plenty of opportunity to consider luxuries later. In step three you're reached the action stage. Select the proper site; choosing with utmost csre, since after you build It will be too late to reconsider. Remember that the home Is your biggest investment, and you'll be living in it a long time. Then establish contact with a capable and reliable lumber dealer who will help you either choose an architect to design your home, or locate a set of plans that fit your needs. He can also help you locate two or three reliable contractors who will bid on your Job. Unless you are one at the fortunate few who can manage an entirely cash operation, step four will be a visit to your local bank or building and loan association. Tell them the type of house you have in mind, who the builder will be, and details of your personal circumstances. Be frank and specific in asking for ad vice, remembering that the banker is in business to help you. From Big Top To Work Shop Mrs. Dorothy Clark, of Claremont Ave., New York City, for several years a featured skater and aerial trapese performer with Singling Brothers, turned from the Big Top to produce special radars for B-29's. At right she's shown soldering connections on radar equipment at Western Electric Company's 11th Avenue Plant, New York City. "Badars helped lick Japap," says Mrs. Clark. Tve enjoyed working en them." very Dog Rudiments Courtesy, Elias Vail Urges Ifine-tenths of the difficulties in volving dogs would automatically be slinvnated if each owner taught his dog a few elemen tary rules ca nine courtesy, Eli as C. Vail, manag ing director of the Gaines Research Kennels, Ridge field, Conn., said in a recent talk. Mr. Vail is one oi me Desi luiuwn ElUs C. Vail dog men in the country. In a quarter of a century of active dog work, he has bred, shown and trained some of Ameri ca's foremost bench and field trial champions. The Research Kennels that he heads are a unique institu tion devoted to studying the facts on dog breeding, feeding, care and training, which will be of practical, helpful value to dog owners and dog breeders. Although the Kennels have been in operation less than two years, already they have become a veritable mecca for visiting dog lovers from all sections of the country. "In handling any dog control is the key word," Mr. Vail said. "One can not be said to really own a dog that has not been trained td obey com mands. A running, jumping, yapping dog is no credit to himself or his owner and very undesirable from the standpoint of the community. 'To make your dog a real pal and have him greatly admired by friends and strangers alike, he must be taught a minimum of four things: 1. To know his name perfectly; 2. To come to you when called?and this must hold good outside as well as inside; 3. To sit down or lie down on order or signal; 4. To comply with your wishes whenever you command 'No!' This last is perhaps the most important lesson of all. Your 'No!' must be so impressive that he will immediately desist from whatever he may be doing at the moment, whether it be eating his dinner or smelling the pants leg of some stranger. 'Ten or IS minutes once?but preferably twice?a day will accom plish wonderful results. It's almost unbelievable what good you can ob tain from the right routine in a single month. "Please remember that the average dog trained to mind loves it and will love you more truly as master than an untrained little rascal left to his own whims. "Some people have the idea that a dog taught to mind is a cowed dog. * Your dog trained to mind will lore tou the more for it. Just forget it Everything depends on the technique and common sense applied in the training. Remember the thousands of dogs trained for military work during world War IL You would hardly call them cowed, yet without training they would have been worthless. There is your answer. "Praise when he has earned it goes a long way to encourage a dog with his training work. On the other hand, don't allow him to disobey without a reprimand. Quick correction at the moment of failure makes for effective training. Never spank a dog. If you have to discipline him, a slight tap on the nose will probably do the trick."

KAMI STUfT OR * POSTOfTICI ' ? Subscribe For The Alamance Gleaner | AUimikc County's Oldest Ncwsptpcr Shelter i Mussolifli is dead. Hitler is still < missing and Hirohito is taking or- i ders from an American soldier, but mortal craving for power appears to have survived World War II- Any individual who can find something that a great many people need, and figure out a way to keep them from getting it, has put himself in a "key pesition" able to make a lot of peo ple suffer. One thing people need acutely right now is shelter. Shortages of building materials and the scarcity of skilled workmen have combined to make housing about the rarest commodity in common use. It is an every-day necessity, too. People have to have a place to live and they will pay whatever it costs to get in out of the weather, or they will take whatever shelter they can afford. Bamming and Hawing Comes now proposed legislation to protect home buyers and home builders from inflation, by govern mental controls. Administration of rulings always brings delay, and more delay. Now we need housing, and more housing. Natural, com petitive safeguards will provide bet ter protection against inflation than rulings, as certainly as sturdy walls will keep out more cold than red tape. The strategy is to fix ceiling prices on residential property, new and old, to allocate building ma terials and regulate the transfer of new real estate. Allocating materi als means giving somebody a right to say who can build and who can't. A crafty "co-ordinator" with such authority could soon have a great i ? many fellow citizens doing bis bid ling. America needs a V-B Day do bureaus. Guessing at Prices Ceiling prices on old residential property is an absurd idea. There Is nobody in my state able to um pire the transfer of old homes in my town, much less yours. Such Laws are only made to break. A legal ceiling on new-home prices might be easy to express in a math ematical curve but its results would be bad. It would tend to cheapen construction and encourage jerry building. Clamping down on the sale of va cant lots would surely be wrong in point of expedience. It would kill much precious time. Service men are coming home now. not after next year. They want places to live, no later than they can get wife and baby out of the in-laws' spare room. They are entitled to a home and ought to have it as fast as their lo cal builder can meet their needs. Poeketbook Care I don't want to see today's tew home makers (least of all service men) pay three prices for houses, but natural competition among builders would prevent it if they could get materials. Paying a pre mium for promptness in a time of emergency is a trivial matter com pared to the "highway robbery" we are courting in shoddy houses, built cheaply to sell under a ceiling. Government's moral obligations to home-seeking servicemen are three: (1) Help builders get good building materials quickly to make suitable, small homes, (2) Begin no public works to busy the building trades until the home need is re lieved, (3) See that mortgage money is not carelessly thrown around. Hank loans ought to be easy on well built houses and impossible on poor ones.
