The National Outlook The l Washington Atmosphere By Ralph Robey I Old timers say that one has to 1 go back 25 years to find such a widespread feeling of panic in Washington as there is today. Apparently there are three main reasons ior this. >j First is the stream of unfav orable business news. The quota during the past few days includ ed: 1. Unemployment in mid-Feb ruary was 5.2 million as compared with 4.5 million a month earlier. The increase was much greater than normal for this time of year—in fact it is not unusual for February to mapk the begin ning of a spring upturn and no amount of rationalization can make the increase other than dis turbing. 2. Business plans for invest ment in plant and equipment have been scaled sharply down ward. The peak pf such invest ment was in the third quarter of last year. That was at an annual rate of $37.75 billion. The amount declined slightly in the fourth quarter. In the first quarter of this year it dropped to $35.5 bil lion. The latest survey reveals that the plans for this year now amount to only $32 billion. | 3. Consumer expectations, as! measured by a University of Michigan survey, have taken a turn toward pessimism. These surveys, made each year, are highly regarded. When they show that an increasing propor tion of consumers is planning less spending for durable goods, such as automobiles and other big item appliances, it should not be ignored. This is especially true at the moment because consumer purchases have been, for many months, the strongest point in the economy. 4. Personal income in Febru ary, according to the Department j of Commerce, suffered ' another decline. On an annual basis it was $341.8 billion, compared, to the peak last August of $347.5 bil lion. 5. Private housing starts declin ed in February to an annual rate of 890,000. In January the com parable figure was 1,030,000. Some of this decline resulted from extraordinarily bad weather in the first half of February. 6. Exports again showed a de cline in January. The total was 10 per cent below a year earlier, and this followed a December which was off 8 per cent. Those were some of the unfav orable business items. Os course there also was some encouraging news, but on balance it appear ed quite clear that we still are on the decline. Second of the factors creating a feeling of panic in Washington is the political tug of war going on between the two parties. This, probably was inevitable, and has been pushed with surprising vig- j or. The New-Fair Dealers, who operate through the Democratic; Party, are determined to place the ■ blame for the current down turn l on Conservatives, who operate l mainly through the Republican Party. Needless to say the Cohserva tives, whether Republican or Democrats, do not appreciate this effort to make them responsible in the public mind, and they have been fighting back in every way possible. At the moment, the im mediate maneuver is concerned primarily with development of an anti-recession program and doing it in a manner which will yield credit to themselves. The Conser vatives are tending to lhove cau tiously although New-Fair Deal ers introduce bills almost every day, almost everyone of which would assure a larger deficit in federal finances. The third factor helping to cre ate a feeling of panic is worry over the Russian situation. This is not as strong as when the Sput niks were first put into orbit. But a lot of persons stpl are un certain that we are as well off, either militarily or economical ly, as they have been led to be “WISDOM OF -. THE AGES” l*3w> “A man’s opportunities J , are usually measured by 'r' •his own abilities; his JL , 'Bk friendships by bis capaci ly for tervicb.” yl WE bavo'an eqruipmenl and - \\ • com plat* proMrad knowladga «!»■♦ randm our FORMAH CRAIG SS2 T STORE ▼tea of harmony and dig nify* IHHBj mmmmSSSSSmSSmmmSmSmSSSSIm lieve. It is, of course, unfortunate that these three things had to im pinge upon us simultaneously. Therefore, too much fnust not be read into them. They do not mean that we are headed into a major depression. There is no such indication. And there is nothing in the economic system which should lead to that type of readjustment. Rather, this is, according to all statistics avail able, nothing ihore than a reces sion. It may be a bit more se vere than the set-back in 1949 or that of 1 953-54, and it may last longer, but there is no reason for assuming and planning for a real economic shake-out. j SUNDAY SCHOOL j LEfSSON 1 Continued from Page 6—Seclion.2 tionship .with Christ. At the same time he becomes one with those who make up the fellow ship of the Church, which is His body. | Infant baptism means that the j parents are dedicating the life of their child to God. Later, when the child joins the Church, he himself accepts as his own ex oression of faith the vow taken for him at his baptism. Baptism, therefore, is one of our most sac red symbols. It represents for us God’s forgiving grace. The Holy Communion as a Christian Sacrament is also a rite I of corporate significance. It is within the fellowship of faith, al so, .that this rite attains its great est symbolic meaning. The com munion meal of the early church was a memorial of the Incarna | tion that ended with Christ’s Cru cifixion. In-the .memorial feast, the Church found GocT present again. As the bread and wine were consumed, Jesus seemed again to be with- his followers. Assurance of forgiveness became complete again as the saving presence of the Christ was rec ognized. “. . . and when He had given thanks, he brake it, and said. Take, eat; this is my body, which is broken for you: this do in remembrance of me . . . He took the cup. when he had sup ped, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood; this do ye, as oft as ye drink it, in remem brance of me. For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cun. ye do shew the Lord’s death till he come.” (I Corinthians 11:24-26) As the observance of the Holy Communion quickens our faith, we repent of our sins, both of the body and of the spirit. In partaking of the holy elements I we sense the continuous forgive ness granted by God to us, his j children. 1 I The Lord’s table is the altar Ito which the Christian repairs. | The service is for members of the | holy fellowship, but the words of I the invitation read: “Ye that do truly and earnestly repent of your sins ...” These words clearly indicate that they are not ad dressed to merely the perfect among us, but also to the imper fect, of whom there are legion. Let us all avail ourselves of this wonderful invitation, and dedi cate ourselves anew to the ser vice of Jesus Christ. .

Coffield Post No. 9280 was convened on Tuesday night, March 18, at 7:30 o’clock. The business was disposed of and the floor was opened to nominations for the coming year’s officers. Several nominations were receiv ed for each office. On Tuesday night, March 25, elections will be held for all offices with excep tion of second and third year trustee. The following Tuesday night, which by the way is all fools’ day (no reflection) will be the installation of all newly elected officers. A list of all newly-elected officers may be found elsewhere in this paper as the deadline of this column oc curred before the election took place. The teen dances every Satur day afternoon from 2 to 6 P. M., are enjoying good success. Dur ing the period, Randy Lee and the dance party starts the radio portion at three and extends a cordial invitation to all age groups to visit the Post home for a real dance party. Come on out and bring a friend. Cost is abso lutely nothing. You can’t beat it, may as well join it . . . Don’t forget the 1 dance starting at 9 every Saturday night. Ad mission to members and or cou ples only. Cost is SI.OO per cou ple. This week’s selection of “VFW Man of the Week” is Robert Goodwin. Robert lives with his wife and two children at 815 Bond Street in Edenton. He is married to the former Thelma Langdale also of Edenton. Their two boys are Bobby, 7Vi years, and Billy, 4Vi years. Robert is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Ernest E. Goodwin of Johnston Street in Edenton. Robert Goodwin was unani mously selected “VFW Man of the Week” at the regular Tuesday night meeting March 18. He was selected for the week ending, March 22. Mr. Goodwin was com mended for his fine work as Post quartermaster serving William H. Coffield, Jr., Post 9280 in a high ly efficient manner, with devo tion not only to this post but to the Veterans of Foreign Wars in general. Congratulations, Robert Goodwin, for a job well done. Someone asked me the other day, why do men join the VFW? Why should I join the VFW? What can it do for me? Well, I might have asked, what can you do for the VFW! Instead, I tried to explain, as best I could, what and why men join and support J the Veterans of Foreign Wars. Why men join, I said, is because the VFW works day in and dav out for the welfare of disabled war veterans. Its program of welfare and rehabilitation is sec ond to none: because the VFW stands guard over the welfare of the widows and orphans of war veterans throueh the national home located in Eaton Rapids. Michigan; because the VFW is protecting such laws as the GI Bill of Rights and readjustment benefits; because the VFW hand of comradeship is always ready to assist a comrade in distress and his dependents; because the VFW is fighting communism and subver sive movements that would des troy or undermine our form of government; because the VFW believes good citizenship is best expressed in terms of projects that help make each community a better place to live; and finally, because VFW membership is re stricted to overseas veterans ex clusively; your cross of Malta em blem is a priceless decoration — one which must be earned as a member of the armed forces —and one that can’t be purchased with money, power or influence. With that, I filled in his membership card recognizing a new member in the Veterans of Foreign Wars of the United States. At the same time I folded my typewrit er for another week. r Hospital Patients Visiting Honrs: 10 to 11 A. M., 2 to 4 P. M„ and 6 to 8 P. M.
