Based upon the stirring days
of the warrior heroes who sallied
forth from Kiny Arthur's Court

tress or pursue some other equal

super-serial that comes storming

Sir Galahad, the Boldest
Knight of the Round Table, is,
the swashbuckling hero of the !
new super-serial and his quest'
for Excalibur, King Arthur's won
derful sword which possesses the
quality of making its wearer in
vincible, results in the perilous
mtr'gue, slashing swordplay and
swashbuckling thrills which jam j
the new ehapter-play.

continuing with a bang. For two
months now industrial output has
matched 1948’s record-smrshing
rate; employment is bounding
along at a clip that may set a
postwar high this summer; and
— most of all for the nation's re
tailers — consumer spending is
rocketing ahead at a record $180,
000,000,000-a-year rate.
With a few exceptions (farm
income is skidding, manufactors'
new orders dipped 10 per cent in I
April), the news .is good all up I
and down the line. Housing is!
still riding the construction crest, i
refrigerator sales are breaking all i
records, home washers in May j
topped April by 73 percent, TV!
and other appliance sales are roll-!
ing in high, latest fertilizer sales j
figures (a clue to the vigor of j
the farm market) the highest in j
history. Understandably, the bus- j
iness analysts are nearly unani
mous in feeling that there’s little'
to worry about for the rest of the
year.
