During the post decade
the world of science has
spawned many great and
startling developments. In
a few short years we. the
public, have been bom
barded with such a dizxy
parade of fantastic new
scientific innovations that
we have become jaded. So
Jaded. In fact., that n?ws
relating to science's new
est boon to the average
householder was as unob
trusively received as an
operatic aria sung In a
boiler factory.
This great new gift from
science is' a chemical called
maleic tiydrazide which has
the happy faculty of being
able to arrest plant growth
without actually damaging
the plant. Imagine the joy
this will bring to the subur
ban citizenry who may some
day be able to enjoy a lush
expanse of lawn without
facing the necessity of trun
dling out the lawn- mower
every Saturday.
This was a rather left
handed invention, however,
in that the new, chemical
was being useu in an effort
to curb the growth of a cer
tain disease. It is unfortu
nate, of course, that it did
n't work on the disease, but
then, a great many folks get
mighty sick of barbering the
lawn. ?

Public Is Optimistic On Economic
Outlook For 1955, U. S. Poll Finds
By Kenneth Fink, Director
Princeton Research Service
PRINCETON, N. J. ? With the
ntew year Just ahead, confluence
among the nation's adult citizens
In the U. S. A.'s business and job
prospects is high.
A United States Poll survey Just
completed shows that nearly
three out of every five adult citi
zens questioned in thte nationwide
survey expect more or the same
amount of business and jobs for
the U. S. A. during the next few
years than it had during the past
year or two.
At the same timfe, nearly two
out of each five questioned see
less business and fewer Jobs a
head.
- In other words, those who see
more or the same amount of busi
ness and jobs ahead for the U. S.
A. during the next few years out
number by a margin of three to
two those who see less business
and fewer jobs ahead.
One year ago, 53 percent ex
pected more or the same.amount
of business and jobs; 42 percent
expected less business and fewer
Jobs, and 5 percent expressed no
opinion.
Today's findings thus represent
5 percent more optimism and 4
percent less pessimism than a
ytear ago.
Important, too, is the fact that
the proportion of the nation's
population expecting the same or
more business and Jobs in the U,
S. A. is higher than it was at any
time during the past year.
It is not, however, so high as it
was'between December, 1952, and
October, 1953.
Today's findings in the light of
these previous survey results
would indicate that business and
Job conditions for 1955 should be

II not better.
They also give definite Indica
tion that people across the U. S.
A. are not expecting any serious
recession In the very near future.
When United* States Poll staff
reporters personally asked a rep- |
resentative cross-section of the
nation's adult citizen*:
"How do you feel about busl- ,
ness conditions in this state for I
the next few years? Do you think
there'll be more business and
more jobs than during the past
ysar or two or less business and
fewer Jobs?"
These were the nationwide re
sults:
BUSINESS AND JOB

And here is the trend in the na
tion since December, 1952, when
the United States Poll first began
measurements on the question:

December, 1953
(One year ago) 53% 42 5 1
March, 1954 47% 49 4

June, 1954 54% 41 5
October, 1954 57% 38 4
TODAY - 58% 38 4
Since December, 1947, Princfeton
Research Service has been mak
ing periodic measurements on
people's outlook on future busi
ness and job conditions in vari
ous parts of the nation and in thfe
U. S. as a whole. .
During that time, there has
been a close correlation between
