F\looking jvj ahead GEORGE S BENSON B Sting. Arhutt Hold the Line The Office of Price Administra tion died o/Hcially on June 30, 1940. Before it had been inoperative ten days, everybody whose life and work were affected by it knew the nation had sustained no serious loss. Calamities that were supposed to fall upon the consumers of Amer ica did not happen. Some prices rose a little; others fell. The law of supply and demand was still working. It had not been on vaca tion. In the building industries, among real estate and lumber people," tim id home seekers had predicted the wildest of run-away prices because of the unprecedented housing de mand. Everything necessary to make prices sky-rocket was pres ent, but the crepe-hangers were dis appointed. Industrial leaders went into huddles and resolved for mod eration, regardless of pressure from eager buyers. neiurnea u> Lue The dead bureau waa resurrected on July 25 by political preasure. One powerful factor waa the influence of thousands of bureaucrats whose easy jobs were all but lost. Lame and weakened by legislative modi fications, the OPA lives and has cer tain functions. But those 25 inactive days proved something: The long er we lived without the OPA the more useless it appeared. Individuals who want to stay in government, whether they serve any useful purpose there or not, may be expected to keep on tryyig, during the next few months, to justify a supposed necessity for government al price-flxing. In reality, increas ing production may be depended upon to hold most prices down. Prices of some things will advance in spite of anything the OPA can do. Look for Advances In subsidized industries, where sharp advances were expected at first, operators are using modera tion in making upward revisions. While industrial leaders "hold the price line," channels of trade are filling up steadily with new pro duction and growing stocks hold prices down. Meat is only an ex ample. Livestock hurries to mar ket. Steaks and chops are on the menu again. There will be exceptions 1 It is likely that the human race will never be free from opportunists ready to profiteer when there are no restraints and crafty enough to run black-markets when restric tions are in force. Maybe there actually was an unhappy couple in California on July 2, whose sand wiches advanced in price from 15c to 40c while they were being toast ed. Anyway it was a good story. Good Citizenship We, the American people, are heirs of a dearly bought liberty. We have ~n opportunity to prove that we are worthy to inherit it. We can do this by a fair approach to every price problem. Whether we are manufacturers, marketers, or con sumers, we have a part to play. We do not need anyone to play the role of dictator. Truly no price was ever fixed successfully by statutory law. Consumers can keep prices right by shunning racketeers who play their customers for suckers, by pa tronizing merchants who appreciate their confidence and by refusing to buy unnecessary things. We should be slow to retaliate against price ' rises that are needful. If workers, 1 especially, will let growing produc tion adjust prices before calling for i higher wages, it will go far toward hastening recovery for everybody. Subversion , However successful America's system of free enterprise hss been, faith in planned economy has spread rapidly over this nation's po litical thinking in the last 29 years. It is strange that the world's most prosperous and influential people should forget how its power was built, and think about imitating a i plan that falls every time it is tried, but that's the picture. ; How did planned economy get into the picture in the United States? This is the country with no peasant class 1 It is here that laborers drive their own motor cars. This is the 1 land where farmers live like lords in older countries. It must have been a strange set of circumstances that turned the eyas of a favored people to look with envy at under-fed and over-worked races beyond the seas. 1 They Only Heard The facts were not all known. If farmers and craftsmen of America could see how men of similar skills elsewhere must live, they would thank God for giving their forefa thers wisdom to safeguard in our Constitution the right of owner ship. Americans who lean toward socialism have seen very little of it and heard only one side. Planned economy invaded America thus; fau After "Liberty Bell had tdHTOant ISO yean, the Statue of Liberty grew green with tarnish and people began taking freedom for granted. Carefree descendants of men who endured Valley Forge ceased to ap preciate their costly birthright; sim ply had no idea how it would seem to be without freedom. Sly digs at America and her people were swallowed down by an open-minded generation. Poisonous Teaching Protected by the free ? speech clause in our Constitution, soap-box orators started braying against in vested capital. Crafty minds coined such slurs as "entrenched greed" and "economic royalists" to stir up envy and make success in busi ness seem dishonorable. Wordy wars against "coupon clippers" frightened investors, large and small, and choked the flow of capi tal into business. It is not possible in any country to provide abundant lives for the masses by raiding the rich, but the idea was hatched and spread around in America. Armies of idle people were trained to rely on gov ernment instead of on themselves. Even in schools supported by the state, boys and girls learned to question the value of Individual op portunity, a cardinal liberty. Government Control War came, and it was two years old before victory was even reason ably certain. Government rightly seized the nation's resources and manufacturing plants, and (presto) a lion's share of America's bread winners were In war work drawing the highest pay they ever heard of; Uncle Sam going in debt ISO million dollars a day. Things to buy be came scarce, and loose money cdt tled in every pocket. Quite naturally people gave gov ernment the credit when, after four years of government management, they had more money than they could spend. Actually the facts are not related. When a public debt, that approximates the country's worth, keeps growing, people sre not pros perous even if their wallets do bulg* with "lettuce" because there aid not enough things to buy. Professional Income The relation between Income and number of yeari in practice ia found to be eimilar in all profeaaions: income rlaea for a time, then de clinea. In medicine and dentistry, profeaalona ia which scientific ad vance has been rapid and skill and dexterity are required, younger men have an advantage and the peak income la reached fairly early?be tween the 13th and 20th year of practice.

The other bell had traveled hundreds of thousands of miles on a Southern Railway locomotive. After many years of service it was bound for the scrap pile. .1 When fire swept the Bethania church in 1942, the JH sweet-toned beO made from coins and trinkets was J destroyed/ Parishioners mimed its pleasant caU. So, when the church was restored, a search was made for ? a ball of the same* pore tone. ?/ But it couldn't be found. Then a member, of the, f V *" i 4* church, Frank T. Miller, recalled the beautiful tone* of aome of the locomotive bells of his boyhood days. Ha wrote a letter to the Southern Railway System... and now, a mellow-toned old bell from a Southern Railway locomotive hangs in the belfry of the Bethania church. We' like' to' think of this bell of ours still serving the community'... stiH^belonging" to the people it served in another way for so many years. We like to think the whole railway "belongs" in the same friendly way in all thecoma) unities it serves.
