WHEN A VIRTUE BECOMES A VICE
Frugality is a virtue that becomes a vice when it
reaches the point of striving to get something for little
or nothing. It can be a vice that helps to undermine the
financial strength of government itself. For even es
tablished government services are sometimes distorted
and expanded into costly caricatures of their original
functions when too much is demanded of them.
, One 'good illustration is the postal service, a con
stitutionally authorized function of the federal gov
ernment. In 1912 it added rural package delivery to its
services parcel post. Parcel post was supposed to
be self-sustaining. It never has been. According to
an article by Paul L. Poirot in The Freeman, "The Post
Office Department's reported deficit on fourth-class
mall, which consists primarily of parcel post, averaged
$134 million a year from 1949 through 1953. The rev
enue collected from users of parcel post service covered
.roughly three fourths of the costs charged against the
service. Taxpayers made up the balance, the subsidy
averaging about 13 cents on a parcel.
"Under such conditions of subsidized parcel post
and closely regulated competition, it was not surpris
ing that the parcel post tail began to wag the rest of the
postal system of all mail consisted of parcel post."
In addition, this particular tax-subsidized commer
cial service has imposed an impossible competitive han
dicap on heavly taxed, privately operated carriers.
It is little wonder that the Hoover Commission, in
its report on -"Business- Enterprises," recommended
"that the Postmaster General shall, if the current rates
do not cover all the costs of the parcel post services (in
cluding indirect cost), seek a further increase of rates.'"
IT PAYS TO PLEASE THE CUSTOMER
Alfred D. Stedman of the St. Paul, Minnesota, Pio
neer Press, is one of the midwest's foremost agricultural
editors. A recent column of his is of special significance,
i nview of the current pork situation with its heavy sup
plies and depressed prices.
He quoted from a housewife who had written him
a letter complaining of excessive fat on ham and other
pork products. This, she said, deterred her from buying
pork, even though she had a strong liking for the meat.
She added, "When the farmers supply us housewives
with good lean usable meat, we'll buy more pork."
Mr. Stedman then went on with his own comment.
He wrote, "So there is word to the farmer from a source
to heed . . . This is the housewife herself. And what is
the aim and end of the swine business if not to produce
pork products of kind and quality most desired by the
consumer?"
This is the effect of quick-acting nitrate nitrogen (right).
The crop was side-dressed with Chilean Soda nitrogen 1 00
per cent nitrate. At (eft no nitrate nitrogen side-dressing.
JForttuixtely, Mr, Stedman observed, real progress
in that direction is being, made, even if the goal hasn't
yet been reached. Hogs are being marketed at lighter
weights; which means there is less fetU Better prices
are being paid for the meat type 'hogs. 'The Ameri
can Meat Institute as a representative of the packers,
has brought about closer trimming of the fat on pork
cuts. To quote Mr.' Stedman again, "Farmers have the
housewife's word that more of this progress is heeded
and will pay." , ' 1 1
In any enterprise, it always pays to please the ulti
mate consumer.

1-tihst thing you need in a car, of course, is power to
spark performance.
And you get that in a 1956 Buick in plenty from big
322-cubic-inch V8 engines that hit new highs in horse
power and compression.
But the power under the hood must be carried to the
rear driving wheels in the form of twisting force on the
drive shaft
That's torque the end-product of your transmission.
And the higher the torque build-up the greater the
"torque multiplication" in starting and accelerating the
better the getaway and response.
So if you want to feel take-off that leaves your breath
behind you, come try a '58 Buick with Variable Fitch
Dynaflow.
For in this airplane-principled transmission, Buick engi
neers raised the ceiling on torque to give you the best
getaway yet
They did it with something they call "double
regeneration" a,, new way to make flowing oil add to
its own velocity.
And when you use the full torque of a Buick beauty like
the one pictured above, you're using the highest torque
multiplication to be had in any standard-production
American automobile today.
Come see for yourself what that means in new thrills
and new safety.
You'll find brilliant new getaway response in the first
inch of pedal travel plus greater gas mileage to boot.
You'll find an electrifying new safety-surge of full-power
acceleration when you floor the pedal and switch the
pitch.
And you'll find this spectacular performance blended
into the smoothest-traveling, the sweetest-riding, the
highest-powered and the easiest-handling Buicks yet
built Drop in on us this week today, if you can and
judge things firsthand.
New Advanced Variable Pitch Dynaflow It the only Dynaflow
Buick buOdi today. If is standard on Headmaster, Super and
Century-optional at modest extra cost on the Special.
