The present contract, not yet signed* follows somewhat the contract between the Nash Coun ty fire departments and Nash County Commissioners. Mr. Asbell, spokesman for the fire department, stated that the contract is too lengthy and em bodies items which are not per tinent to so small a county as Chowan with only one rural fire department. Mr. Asbell informed the Com missioners that the fire depart ment has adopted a set of by laws, so that the Commissioners agreed to hold a meeting in the very near future as which time the by-laws will be studied and a contract drawn up which will be satisfactory to both the up county firemen and the Com missioners.

The National Outlook A Week Os Crisis By Ralph Robey October 22 through 28 will go 1 down as a week of crisis in the history of the United States. 1 With President Kennedy’s decla- 1 ration of a military naval block- 1 ade of Cuba on Monday evening, 1 October 22, we were the closest : to World War HI that we have ever been. Tension continued to : build day by day until the fol lowing Sunday when Premier Khrushchev backed down and of fered to withdrawn the missiles I from Cuba. That relieved some of the pressure, but as we go to press it still is an open question as to whether the difficulty real ly is over.

But in dividual reports indicate that there has been at least some such buying. For example, in Washington, D. C-, some of the supermarkets sold almost all their canned goods, and proba bly the same thing happened at various other places in the na tion. The aggregate of such pur chases, however, may not be suf ficient to make an appreciable change in the total of retail trade. More important, potentially, was whether business manage- ment decided it had better in crease inventories. There are no statistics on this as yet. The chances are that the crisis did not last long enough to cause business to get beyond the talk ing stage. In general there is no reason why inventories should be built up as a result of the Cuban trouble. We have no sig nificant shortages at the moment. This does not mean that certain individual items might net be come scarce, but it would not be comparable to what we experi enced in World War 11. It would not be comparable be cause at that time we were just coming out of a long depression when millions of persons did not have the money with which to buy what they wanted and then with the prosperity that came with the war, there was ration ing pretty well across the beard. It was about th» same with the|l Korean War. But by around |: 1958, or a little later, this great 1 1 backlog of both business and I consumer demands had been fill-1 1 ed. J i One further fact needs to be j mentioned in connection with the | : lack of any necessity for scare j buying. This is that in all our j major industries we have unused I capacity. Accordingly, each of , these could step up its output j substantially with present equip ment. Steel provides a perfect example. At present the esti mate is that we shall produce, this year about 98 million tons, j The capacity of that industry is j about fifty percent above this, figure. It is inconceivable that i steel could become in short sup-! ply again excepting special \ types. Automobiles could be j produced in far larger volume PAGE SEVEN —SECTION ONS than currently is planned. And so it is pretty much from one end of the economy to the other. There was another develop ment announced during the week of great importance. This was that the consumers price level spurted upward. This increase had nothing to do with the Cu ban crisis—it could not be the result of that because the price survey upon which this index is based was made before the blockade was declared. The in crease was the largest from one month to another since 1958. It lifted the index to 106.1. The base of this measure is the aver age of 1957-1959. I Beneath the rule of men en tirely great, | The pen is mightier than the sword. —Bulwer Lytton.
