That estimate, made by the Automobile Manu facturers association, was released before any of the big general strikes threatened by the automo bile unions had taken place. If major strikes do tie up the industry during the last eight weeks of this year, the loss will of course be much greater. In addition to causing delay in getting new automo biles to market, it is also estimated that the strikers, and those out of work because- of strikes, already have lost half a billion dollars in income—more than they could make up in a full year if the 30 per cent raise they are seeking materialized. Strikes are expensive for all of us—the public, the worker and the manufacturer. Yet we seem to be get-! ting nowhere in arriving at a way to end strikes. In a! case like this, where everybody loses, there should cer tainly be some solution. We don’t believe in turning to government for the solution of every problem. FAMILY DINNER Ever since the days of the Pilgrims, our celebrations of Thanksgiving ana Christmas nave centereu around a family ainner, ana the iugh point of that umner has been the serving of a large, golden-brown, luscious roast ed turkey. We put up with poor facsimiles of a turkey din ner during the war years. We substituted chicken pork and other every-day varieties of meat. Some times the “trimmings” were substitutes too. But this year it will be different. This year the old-1 fashioned turkey holiday dinner will be back in full force, for the turkey flock is reported to be the largest in history. The American eagle may be the official symbol of our country, but the turkey, too, is symbolic of the things Americans hold dear. BONDS FOR ROOSEVELT In the Victory Loan, now underway, bond buyers have an opportunity to honor the late President Roosevelt in a distinctive way by buying a Roosevelt bond. It is par ticularly fitting th:it a bond should be dedicated to him in this Victory Loan, since it was largely through his efforts and planning that this nation achieved victory at a date earlier than many predicted. Looking at it in this light, every bond purchaser in the Victory Loan honors Mr. Roosevelt, for it is an ex pression of gratitude for victory and an investment in peace, for which he worked and died. And more than that it is an investment in our government, “a govern ment of the people, for the people and by the people.” In his own characteristic way, could the late President see the way in which the Victory Loan has started off, we believe he would say, ‘ It's simply grand.” What better way can we honor this grand American today than to buy Victory Bonds? REALITY INSTEAD OF PIOUS HOPE The Pacific Northwest, with miles of timbered forest land stretching in every direction, is faced with a fuel famine. Strikes have disrupted the lumber industry. Wood and sawdust are nearly non-existent in larger ci-j ties. The warning has gone out to home owners to switch! to coal. How often the coal industry has heard those words in recent years! And in some manner enough coal j to keep people from freezing is gotten out qf the I ground. Of course heating homes is but a part of the task of I coal. It runs trains and furnishes most of the power i and light in the country as well. The production rec-1 ords set by the coal industry throughout the war, in spite! of strikes, manpower and equipment shortage, are some- ; thing for the history books. One of the reasons why the coal industry has syc-1 ceeded in meeting the mcst exacting emergencies is' found in the nature of the industry itself. Coal mining is a competitive enterprise. Competition has pushed the individual companies ahead over an admittedly rocky road at times. But the result has been beneficial to coal and to the nation. The industry is extensively mechaniz ed. American miners work in greater safety and com fort and at higher wages than any other miners in the world. Production efficiency has soared to heights that would have been unbelieveable a few years ago. In fact ,our coal industry has actually accomplished the objectives of enlightened operation which govern ment controlled or owned industries of other nations merely talk about in an atmosphere of pious hope.

AMERICAN BUSINESS ^ * New York, Nov. 12 - There will be plenty of turkey and fixin'sj for Thanksgiving ami Christmas, and in some instances at least the price will be below ceilings. That is the story which A & P Food Stores gi ts from its 140 field buy- | ing offices, and it offers a sharp ; contrast to conditions which have’ prevailed' for the past three years, j For those who like statistics, the j reports indicate that some 44,150. 000 turkeys will be produced this j year, which is 22 per cent more t-han were available last year and 44 per cent more than the 10 year average. With every possibil ity of an oversupply, i tail prices of the big toms Uie . ding below ceiling prices for tie first time since price control was instituted tml trade sources believe that the price may drop even more if large numbers of birds are offered on a market that now has all it can ab sorb. As for fixHi’s, the second largest white potato crop on re cord is forcast, as well as a more than average amount of cranber ries and nut meats, plenty of on ions, squash, citrus fruits, sweet potatoes, celerv and pumpkins. HOW BIG IS JL'MBO? -Several years ago, Billy Rose, the theatri cal producer, brought into New York a production so expansive it could be housed only in the spac iouus old Hippodrome. With a fine sense for nomenclature, Mr. Rose called his show “Jumbo.” Webster defines jumbo as “huge” and no body questioned the ephysical size of the show, nor the appopriate ness of Mr. Rose’s title. However, after reading over a report of the California olive crop this year, it appears that Mbssrs. Rose and Webster were guilty of overstate ments. Jumbo, as far as olives are concerned, means medium to small size. For instance, a Jumbo olive is smaller than a colossal, which in turn is a peanut compared with a supercolossal. The latter is the top size, runnig 22 to a pound and bringing $600 a ton form canners. Colossals are around $540 a ton, jumbos $460. Americans, it seems, like everything flashy and showy, even in olives, one marketing ex pert points out, adding that the public assumes that if it ls Rood and worth more. Olive gourmets disagree. They consider the small er variety more flavorsome ana sav that biting into the large sized Sevillano is "like, chewing on a cork." So maybe if jumbo is not huge, it is at least large enough.

MASS PRODUCTION - Ameri can ingenuity and production methods, which contributed im measurably to our recent military victory, are going into peacetime efforts to raise our standard of living, to add new conveniences and to improve health condi 1 tions. Perhaps the story of epansion in production of the new wonder drug penicillin might serve as an example, for it Here’s sweeter, tastier bread with FLEISCHMANN’S X IT’S FULL STRENGTH so it goes right to work. No waiting. No extra steps. Fleischmann’s fresh active Yeast helps make bread that’s more de licious and tender, sweeter-tasting every time! IF YOU BAKE AT HOME-Get Fleischmann’s active fresh Yeast with the familiar yellow label. Dependable—it’s been America’s favorite for more than 70 years. is almost as exciting as the dis covery. Penicillin is a drug which requires painstaking production care. It must be nurtured in a germ-free atmosphere. Even hu man breath may affect it. Com mercial Solvents Corporation sol ved the production problem by building a special plant which is in effect a fortress against bacteria. All the walls and ceilings of the 13 production are surfaced with vitrolite, an opaque structural glass developed by Libbey-Owens Ford Glass Company. All work surface tops are covered with one inch thick tuf-flex, a glass that will withstand hard usage and se vere impact. These smooth sur faces are easily cleaned with a germicidal solution. Filtered air passes under germ killing lamps. Attendants wear special footwear, clothing, eye and face shades, all sterilized. No safety measure was forgotten, and today the plant is ltu ning out 40 billion units of the drug, nearly twic« the amount •■tie in the entire country less than two years ago.

LETTER COLLECTED PAST DUE BILL Here’s a letter that served to collect $2,200 from a customer who had been owing money for a year and a half. He had become angry; he’d sent in counter-claims; he’d sworn he’d never have anything to do with the com pany; but this single letter made him reach for his check book; not only that but he remained a customer. The letter: “Dear Mr. Blank: “Almost everyone has fell the pain of a toothache. It starts out with a slight fault, sometimes repaired, but gradually growing worse until finally the only solution to the problem is to have it pulled with one Herculean ef fort. This frequently leaves a bad after effect. Many have had the experience of an injured jaw and know that it takes a long time to recuperate. “Your account can be looked at in a similar man ner. All along we tried to co-operate with you by lets and calls to reduce the account, but no amount of dentistry is going to save us the task of ultimate extraction now. The promised checks have not been received and because of this we are going to have to make a date to turn this account over for collection. That date is November 20. “This.can be avoided by your mailing to us today a check for immediate deposit of $732.23 on your account and three additional post-date checks of not more than 15 days apart of $500 each, taking care of the balance. “The file on this account is being prepared at once and is being forwarded to pur ‘extractor’ for presentation on the 20th, unless by that date we have received from you the checks as outlined. “Naturally we are interested in the sales volume of your account and should we have to resort to other means for collection, it is going to be some tine before you, and likewise ourselves, get over an incident of this type, and again be on terms where we would be mutually interested in your carton requirements, It isn’t easy to forget a painful trip to the dentist. “We regret that decisii nr such a this h'.ve to be made, and hope you won’t find it necessary that that appoint ment with our dentist of collection be made.” CHILDREN S BOOK WEEK— NOV. 11.-18 . , This is Children’s Book W celt and it reminds us again how im portant it is to see that our child ren have plenty of good books to read. Every year at this time the counters are stacked with gay, at tractive books for children of all ages. Amoug all these it is really hard for parents to know just which books to choose for that im portant little boy or girl. A few simplee suggestions might help to guide you in se lecting. For instance, if you are choosing a book for the primary colors with o(ly a nursery age you will want one with many simple pictures i i very little story—preferably about animals or about little boys or girls just like them As they grow older—say "t six or seven, children will want longer stories with more action. At this age, too, they love fun ny stories they can laugh at. They still want stories about chddren, but now they are rea dy to read about boys and girls who are different from them selves or who live in far away places. The theme chosen for Chil dren’s Book Week this year is UNITED THROUGH BOOKS. We all hope that through books children of many lands may get to know one another better. For instance, reading such stories as “Reunion in Poland,’’ our boys and girls will know how the courageous children of Poland fought for freedom under their Nazi oppressors. A beautiful and exciting story called “Katrina” will gfte them some idea of how the children in the little country of Luxemburg worked for their liberation “Youth Replies I Can” is the title of a new collection of stories about many different coun The slogan ‘‘United Through Books’’ applies also to chil ren here at home, in Ameri ca. Here, too, they mu.» get to know . bout one another-— black and white, Catholic, Jewish . nd Protestant, child ren of immigrant pirenleiye, ai'd children descended from Mayflower pilgrims, children on farms and in mining towns. All these make up A merica. They must learn to liv, Mid work together, to un derstand anci’ier’s problems. Some of the new book.-, will help then to do this, by giving them warm and human glimpses of kjw other ehildieu live and what their piobiems are. “North hoik ' ia a story of Indian children in Ai’r.oi.n today, learning to work and play witn their white neigh bors. “The Moved Outers’’ deals with the problem of Japanese-A me'ican ohi'dr n in California. A hooir titled ‘*The Sea Between” ),.eiu: e., a sma.i American town where prejudice against Jews grows out of ignorance. y It is through such well-written and thoughtful books as these that our children will be helped to un derstand the problems and needs of other children who belong to minority groups in America. They will come to see children of differ ent races anl creeds in a new light. They will find that they have much in common with other child, ltn—no matter what the color of their skin or their religion or the country of their birth.
