There's little consolation for the consumer
in the preaching propounded in some quar
ters about free competition taking care ol
prices during emergencies.
‘'Toward I'm middle of October, meats at
all kinds at wholesale averaged PI percent
below the summer peak." an industrial
spokesman points out, explaining further
that that's an “excellent example of how
supplv and demands works in the free mar
ket”.
The spokesman veiled loud about the min
ute example, but he did not follow through
and admit that meat prices have advanced
cun.sklerably'snm that tunc and have a $1.10
per pound price peak. The spokesman did
not mention a few other items such as black
pepper prices, the codec gouge and so many
Others
Surelv. no one wants controls, hut they
want to see thi practical application ol the
free market and hear less about Ihcoretical
bolunpy..
Supply and demand are all right for prices
the spokesman declares on the one hand, but,
deep in his heart, lie is 100 percent tor wage
controls'pud labor freey.es.

We want to believe that the dangerous

heep Your Pointer Dry
Midway bet wen Thanksgiving and Christ
mas. International Golden Rule Week is to
observed.
Unfortunately, we have been told that in
doing unto others as we would have them
do unto us. we must keep our powder dry,
in other words, we must still carry that pro
verbial chip on our shoulders.
Surely, at no other season of the year can
we. a blessed people, think more clearly and
earnestly about Golden Rule sharing—at
home and abroad.
We really have something to think about,
and the way and extent to which we direct
our thinking could have a lot to do with the
future course of events in this ole world.
There are one and one-half billion under
nourished people in the world. Many of them
are near starvation, including four hundred
million children under fifteen years of age.
That’s something to think about, but it
should also be remembered that our world
cannot endure while two-thirds are starving
and the other one-third is overfed.
Just A Voir Den!
A spokesman for industry says that all
the railroads want is a fair deal. We believe
the railroads are entitled to a fair deal, de
spite all their shortcomings and past atti
t udes.
We also believe every corporation, busi
ness firm, professional man. farmer, laborer,
and domestic are entitled to a fair deal. But
we are being told time and again every day
that the “Fair Deal” is on its way out, that
the deal is a lost cause.
It could be that some believe a fair deal
for the farmer and worker is not fair to oth
ers, that is would be fair to take the lair deal
away from those less able to help them
selves.
More I'liun One Cuilly
A Washington reporter apparently kept
by the Republicans, goes all out in condemn
ing Democrats for their political practices
advanced in the recent campaign.
President Truman was censured for mud
slinging in his St. Louis speech. We are not
upholding Mr. Truman, but it would be in
teresting to know if the Washington reporter
thought it was all right for the Republicans
to resul t to every questionable practice and
act in advancing their campaigns.
If the road traveled by the Democrats was
as muddy as that chosen by the Republicans,
I ,it is about time someone went to old Joe
Stalin and apologized.
It reminds o*ne of some primaries closer
home where one side stooped so low they
could not peep over the edge of the gutter,
and then cried out against those who would
tell the truth.
Both sides are guilty, no doubt, some stoop
' ping so low that their own corruption is
| about to devour them.
Cooil Investment
A large utility points out that it invests
$125,000 to create one job.
Allowed six percent on its investment, the
company is making $7,500.00 a year on oacn
,;,iv ;• ... Utvc«pany is entitled
to a return on its investment. But the com
pany goes further and wants the public to
believe that it is a generous angel for turn
ing loose $125,000 to give a fellow a job at
medium wages. While stressing its compas
sion for the one working man, the company
j could tell more about dividend returns.

"Young Blood
Takes Charge
-<*>
A prime example of M-G M's
fiirrerit j»r»l i«*v of utilizing the
proven ability of its “young blood
is the new thrill-clrama, “Dial
I 111),” currently showing at the
Viecar Theatre, Thursday and
Friday, in which both the direct
or and leading actor establish
significant film “first."
Directing his first full-length
feature picture is Gerald Mayer,
who follows in the footsteps of a
number of now-prominent direc
tors brought to the fore after an
apprenticeship on film tests and
short subjects. Playing his first
starring role as the pathological
killer who holds five terrorized
people at bay is Marshall Thomp
son, who won the top role after
six years of supporting parts
culminating in his recent out
standing work in “Battleground,”
“Command Decision” and "Mys
tery Street.”
The unique story-telling tech
nique ujjed in filming “Dial 1119"
had much in common with stage
play production. The entire plot
of the new picture takes place
within two hours, with its locale
limited to three major sets, a bus
terminal, a city street and the in
terior of a bar in which more than
half the action occurs. “Dial 1119"
rolled in two days under schedule
a tribute to the resourcefulness
of Hollywood’s up-and-coming
“young blood.”
Some people keep so busy lay
ing up for a rainy day they seldom
see the sunshine.

r would he easy to let the breath-taking
power, the luxurious ride and the
gleuming good looks of a Huick sweep you
off your feet.
And once you've sampled the sweet re
sponse of Dynaflow Drive* —you feel a
big lack in anything else.
But let's he practical ubout all this.
What does it cost to buy —and to own —
this star performer?
The first answer is a look at delivered
prices—and most people still are surprised
to find that u car which offers so much
actually costs so little.
That’s true, whether you put the Special,
the SUPER or the superb KOADMASTER
against other cars of comparable dimen
sions. They certainly shine on a first
cost basis.
But this is only half the story, as you’ll
soon find out on any used-car lot.
Year in, year out, the resale prices of
Huicks stay much closer to first cost than
the prices of cars with lesser merit.
And uniting recent models, Buicks with
Dynaflow Drive command such a premium
that you can almost figure you get this
dream drive for free.
So why not let yourself go? Why not walk
right into your Ruick dealer’s now and
say, put me down for one of thoset
There’s no time like the present for show
ing your good judgment.
