Special to The Franklin Times Washington, July 10. ? Two new words are coming Into use as a result of the new laws now In effect. They are NIRA and FRA. So far they hare been printed only In capital letters, but sooner or later they seem bound to become regularly rec ognized words that will not need capitalisation. NIRA is composed of the Ini tials of National Industrial Re covery Act and FRA stands for Farm Relief Act. The practice of coining words out of Initials is new to Washington, although it has been the custom In Europe for many years. Every English man knows ^what is meant by "Dora." It irohe Defense of the Realm Act, passed early in the < war and still in effect. It is ' "Dora," for example, which makes I it illegal for saloons In England I to be open during certain hours ' of the day. We are going to hear a lot about "Nira" and "Fra".

Wage-Earner the Consumer That the wage-earner is the principal consumer is a lesson the economic world has learned 1 ?D Jj? tbe pa" twenty years or 1 MThe"rfo,re. the approach of the New Deal to the economic ait- ' uatlon is not from the point of' view that the consumer must be protected against high prices, but that the consumer must be en abled to buy goods at whatever price is high enough to Insure profit* to the producer, the con sumer being, primarily, the wage earner who must have a Job at good wages if he Is to be able to buy anything more than bare necessities. That economic theory is not new with the present Adminis tration. It is the theory held and strongly advocated by President Hoover and many leaders of po litical and economic thought for ? good many years. What stood In the way of constructive action was mainly politics; partly the opposition of Congress to anything which Mr. Hoover was believed to desire, and partly the reluc tance of most old-line politicians to advocate or support any Im portant change in the statutory ?tructure, especially in the ?'sa cred" anti-trust laws. It took a genuine "Ne^ Deal," a complete sweeping out of the old crowd and an overwhelming majority of public sentiment and Congressional votes behind the new President, to make ft pos sible to try to do anything about Now N1RA Mid FRA The result so far Is NIRA and FRA. The purpose behind these two radical laws is to raise prices o( manufactures and agricultural commodities and to Insure that there shall be no undermining price-cutting, no ruthless over production to force prices down, nothing done to shake the stabil ity of industry or agriculture. Under NIRA minimum wages and maximum forking hours are provided by agreement within the Industry with, bha Government ready and able tpRstep in and force producers who won't coop erate. to live up to the provisions of the code agreed upon. Produc tion control, price maintenance and other conditions calculate# to Insure steady work at good pay to all workers are Included, and .the anti-trust laws are repealed. The first Industry to submit s satisfactory code Is the cotton textile Industry, which has agreed on $12 a week In the South and $13 In the North as the minimum wage, 40 hours as the maximum work week, and not more than two shifts a day for factory work era, while there Is to be no sell Loveliest Debutante One of London 'i 'moat thrilling pastimes each Nuon it to select the moat beautiful and lovelies .0 lebu< tanU.

Every other Industry in America la or-i ganlzlng nnder NIRA, though not fast enough to suit General Hugh Johnson, the Administrator of NIRA, who would like to see ten million workers re-employed be Fore cold weather comes. , Farmer as Consumer Dnder FRA the problem Is not Identical, (or farmers have never tended to work together and nev-j 5r will to any extent. But by deal ing with each Individual producer if the basic agricultural commod ities and making It .worth their while, by funds derived from tax 3s on the processing of their, products, to reduce their output,' the way is open to keep farm prices up to a point of profit for :he farmer, thus enabling him to become once more the consumer >f practically half of the nation's manufactured products, at prices profitable to the manufacturer. \nd that. In turn, helps keep men at work at good wages, to :oBume the farm apd factory pro lucts. The Consumer, as somebody ipart from the producer, no long jr figures In the politico-econo mic picture. There's "no sich ani mile" as a consumer who Is not ilso a producer, or very few of them. Keep the producers pros perous, farmer, wage-earner, manufacturer, for they are the real consumers of each other's products. . That Is the whole theory of the Mew Deal as represented by NIRA ind FRA. Wheat Tax TKe Office ft the Ctfllaetbr of Internal Revenue is working un der pressure to Inform Millers and merchants as to the Proces sing and Floor taxes on Wheat and Wheat products. <? The tax Is effective at midnight of July 8. 1933. Millers grind-' ing wheat for the farmer for consumption by the farmer, his family or tenants, will require an affidavit of the farmer to that effect. . If ! farmer sells the floor, no exemption is allowed. A Wholesaler who Is also a Retailer, carrying on business at the same place must pay the tax on his entire processed wheat stocks as though the Retail phase of the business did not exist. If a Retail merchant has such stocks stored elsewhere than his retail floor, the tax attaches to such stocks. A Floor tax is imposed on all processed wheat products in the hands of millers, wholesalers, ba kers, hotels, restaurants, cafe's, and cafeterias, as well as to stocks field by retailers In stor age. Retailers have until August 7th In which to dispose of all stocks on hand In his store at midnight, July 8th, but must keep a record of goods received from July 9th to August Tth, and make an inventory August 7th of stocks on hand at the close of business them Tells How She Lost 15 Lbs. of FAT Rheumatism Gone Too Here Is a woman who was rap idly patting on weirfht and who was troubled with a rheumatism too.

The As sembly theme waa "Loving Your Neighbor as Yourself." The pas tor spoke from Luke 10; 29 "Love thy neighbor as thyself." He said that this generation needs a brotherhood of faith. The mind pof America may believe that Ood Is a white man, an American, but Jeaus who knew Him intimately amid that He was Spirit, Light, Love. He called Ood Father and told us when we pray to say, 'Our Father." Our world Is In a great fer ment. Confidence has broken down between men and nations. Man must have faith In himself. If we mobilized all the fearful, despondent, broken pieces of hu manity we would find that * they have lost faith in themselves. These times call for faith in other men. Jesus always had faith In men. He believed in an Impet uous Peter, a sinful Magdelene, and prayed for those who cruci fied him. The only people he seems to have lost faith in were the Scribes and Pharisees, these had lost faith in other men. We need to have faith In Ood. He Is the rewarder of all those who be lieve in Him. He made this far flung Universe of which we are a small part. He has kept faith with us thru the gift of His Son Jesus Christ. All Christians pray to the same faith. We should form a brotherhood of faith with aH people. We need a brotherhood of love. In this modern age the world has become one great neighborhood. Television flash es the human Image across land and sea. The radio bears its message to every fireside. The aeroplane wings Its way to every point of the geographical com pass. The law of economics has made of all nations one need, one problem, one solution, one hope of recovery. jesus uvea in an age or racial antagonism. To marry a foreign wife was a serious social error. Contempt for the poor natives and foreigners was one of the cardinal sins .of his day. Some of the most severe criticism launched against him waB "he ate and fellowshlpped with publicans and sinners." Did he do right? He broke over these racial walls and became the friend of man. Racial pride Is fine. It keeps racial purity as It ought to be. But racial prejudice is wrong be cause It breaks up the spirit of friendly men. We must have a brotherhood of love, binding all human hearts Into one Christian fellowship with Christ as Master and Lord. Our times call for a brother hood of human action. Neither man nor nation can survive long alone. In commerce or religion every nation needs open markets and the friendly spirit of other nations. People live together, they must wprk together. This Is the hope of our age. The Sermon on the Mount was the declaration of -a young man. Its meaning moves with the dar ing of youth. It took a young Prince Jonathan to make a King David. Prefering another instead of self Is one of the finest of Christian principles. It "took a good man to over-pay his hired help. Most people want the most labor at the cheapest price. But a Syrian farmer arose to this no ble achievement. Thru a thous and years of Rome's history there was not a single labor strike, be cause Roman capital suppressed and enslaved the IgboriflK ele ment. If America ever solves her labor problems It must be when the spirit of Christ builds a firm brotherhood of mutual trust, kindness, and cooperation. A temple worker was on his way home for a few "weeks va cation and fell among thieves who robbed him and left him dy ing. A priest who worshipped and served God passed by and did nothing. A devout church member did the same. But a Samaritan, with neighborly kind .ness bore him up and nursed him to life again. Jesus saw in thts tragical occasion the truth that God Is where His people are. Then too, the spirit of love and human help Is one of the most needed Christian realities. More Cars in June Production of new Chevrolet on And trucks in June more than doubled output (or the cor responding month last year and was the largest single month's production In two years, W. 8. Knudsen, president and general manager of the Chevrolet Motor Company announced today. With a total output of 81.573 units, June cmpares with 36,142 In June last year and with 68, 538 In May this year, previously the best month since June, 1931, Mr. Knudsen said. He emphasised that the high June total was made possible only by the splendid morale and co . operation exteiuled by the more than ft, 000 employes now on the ' company payrolls. Mr. Knudsen said he hoped, through the share ' the-work plan practiced by his company In recent years, to hold ' the employment curve flatter this summer than has been possible ' In past seasons. Every effort has been made through the depression, he polnt ? ed out, to provide for the regu ' lar Chevrolet workers.
