An Election Reaction

of collarda was her way of saying
Hie holidays are over let’s adjust to
normal. Now that the election is
over and gearing to normal follows,
strangely enough 1 am reminded of
collarda and the success of s John
ston County friend in raising them
&ant size by side-dressing the grow
ing plants with table salt. Hits par
ticular usage la new to me though I
do recall in Biblical times when it
had lost its savour salt was only fit
to be trampled underfoot, whereas
them are many reference to “ye are
the salt of the earth” By logic one
could deduce if savoury salt In
creases the collard yield and collsrds
are rich Id chlorophyll and chloro

be a reqqujsite of the political

At The Rotary Chib
At the Eotary Club, Tuesday night,
Levi Walston, program leader for the
evening, gave a report on “The Oat
look For Business” as seem by the
consulting economist of one of the
largest banks of oar country.
The report showed the business pat
tern of the immediate future to ap
pear fairly dear, since badness ac
tivity is at a high level. This high
level is due te principal forces operat
ing in the economy, which axe: the
steel strikes, which caused a loss of
19 million tons of steel, the repeal of
regulation W, military expenditures,
capital expenditures by corporation
and investments in general, increased
wages and plentiful employment.
from a serious recession, which they
found themselves from the middle of
1961 to the middle of 1962. Construc
tion is at a high level and farm in
come is high- It would appear that
these forces will continue to operate
in the economy for some time; how
ever, prediction is hazardous and
some unseen event could have a pro
nounced effect on holiness. The long
range outlook is not dear after the
next six or nine months due to mili
tary expenditures reaching a peak
and then leveling off. There are in
dications that corporation expendi
tures will decrease.
Housing and durable goods are
rapidly being satisfied, production
has increased, exports have decreas
ed, private debt has increased, living
standards for some have declined be
cause of increased cost of living and
higher taxes. All these factors lead
us to believe that sometime in 1963
there must be a change in the pat
tern of business. There are new pro
ducts constantly coming on the mar
ket, all thebe stimulate economy;
however there is some increased com
petition and tiie need for real sales
manship in business, after this change
takes place. It will be a buyers
market rather than a sellers market
on both the home and foreign' mar
kets. A pessimistic view of the fu
ture is unwarranted; however tb-f
fact remains that the easy days of
the sellers market is rapidly coming
to an end.
