Somewhat Different Prices used to jump up overnight at the store but now if there is a change—prices are lower. A well known authority in Washington says it is a fact that the cost of living is on the way down! Perhaps this is due to the fact that goods of all kinds are suddenly abundant—all the way from fuel oil and gasoline to motor vehicles. The Government reports to the effect that farmers have had a big income boom which is now followed by a gradual squeeze. There have been terrific fluctuations in prices for a long time and that brought about many price declines of 20 to 30 per cent. The indications are that we are coming back as a nation to old standards. All we can do is hope for better conditions, and as long as living costs and basic supplies are cheaper it may be that Mr. and Mrs. can make the grade and begin living again, as usual. The Nation's Highways Every person who drives an automobile knows that there aren't enough good and wide highways for all the cars that hit the roads day after day. Of course there is no question but what we must have good roads. Advertising Is Coming Up A little whirl around the circle shows that the advertising agencies are broadening their fields and it would not be at all surprising to find many national products advertised in local papers in most parts of the nation within the next few months. Of course these agencies are always glad to spread out and include family newspapers but too large organizations and institutions will never recover from the delusion that if they plant their copy in a dozen big cities they have told the world—but as a matter of fact the home newspapers, read by even member of the family is the greatest advertising field of all. And any high-minded public relations institutions will never get until they give more attention to these fairly newspapers outside the metropolitan districts. Getting Tough with Russia It is a pleasure to note the fact that President Truman talks turkey to Stalin and tells him where to get off—at; and practically where to go too. The international policy based on the Marshall Plan is kept in mind... All we can do is hope for better conditions, and as long as living costs and basic supplies are cheaper it may be that Mr. and Mrs. can make the grade and begin living again, as usual. The Nation’s Highways Every person who drives an automobile knows that there aren’t enough good and wide highways for all the cars that hit the roads day after day. Of course there is no question but what we must have good roads. After reading an analysis of these roads from a couple of associations we admit that we were amazed to learn that at the present time we have over 40 million cars on our highways, and 3 million more are being added every year. Motor cars are heavily taxed and when the money is all turned in to the public treasury there is a surplus that is used for purposes other than maintenance of the highways. The highway associations are kicking against this diversion of automobile taxes that are raised at the gas tanks Getting Tough with Russia It is a pleasure to note the fact that President Truman talks turkey to Stalin and tells him where to get off—at; and practically where to go too. The international policy based on the Marshall Plan is kept in motion and the White House and Congress are determined to force Russia to behave. No part of our civil or military government will agree to a bed peace. President Truman is right when he says that he can believe Stalin and he is also right in his determination to force the Russian-Communist issue onto the United Nations. The American people have stood just about much abuse, lying, and resistance from Russia as it is possible to put up with. WASHINGTON AS SEEN By Congressman JOHN PHILLIPS Last week I had the unusual pleasure of being invited to a small meeting to hear a recently arrived Englishman talk about conditions in that country. He is going to California and probably can be secured for at least one talk in the 22nd district and if so, I hope you, who read this, will make every effort to hear him. His name is Cecil Palmer and he is the British publisher whose list of authors includes Shaw, Chesterton, Arnold Bennett, H. G. Wells, and other names well known in this country. He is giving his time to an effort to make us understand just what happens to a nation when national socialism creeps in. Don’t miss Him. Sticking to figures and facts, his statements give us serious thought. Here are a few. Great Britain bought the railways for $4 billion, giving the stockholders not cash, but 3 per cent script, redeemable by the Railway Commission any time between July Space limits me on other industries, but I want to mention socialized medicine. England went in with high hopes. Less than 3,000 doctors stayed out. Today, 2,500 have joined an organization called Freedom in Medicine, to undo the nationalization of health. There are 57,310 vacant beds, due to inability to provide the necessary service. The service, such as it is, is costing the working people of England $2,800,000 every week. Government services are obviously not free, either in England or America. Worst of a whole list of changes is the changed relationship between doctor and patient. It is bad enough to make the doctor a servant of the state, but it must be understood that the intimate records of each patient’s case, now become the property of local committees. There was an encouraging note. Mr. Palmer told of speaking to the employees of an industrial plant recently where he wouldn’t have been invited a year ago, or if invited, would have been badly heckled. He was invited back twice. Today, of the 1800 employees, union members, 800 now belong to an organization to bring back free enterprise to England. I rise to remark: it is easier to keep the Republic, than to get it back.

Highway patrol commissioner Clifford E. Peterson said increased patrolling of the highways by patrol cars with the new look has resulted in a decrease of 9.8 per cent in fatalities resulting from accidents and 7.6 per cent decrease in fatal accidents. All highway patrol cars have been painted a distinctive white in line with Peterson's directive of a year ago. He said estimates based on reports for 1948 show 1,910 deaths resulting from 1,674 accidents as compared to a total of 2,098 deaths during 1947. In the Orange county area, the survey showed 66 deaths, 54 fatal accidents, 612 fatal and injury accidents, and 976 accidents in which there were injuries alone. The survey was conducted in the rural areas alone and does not include figures from the metropolitan centers, where such accidents are reported by local authorities.

IN THE DAYS OF LONG AGO By MRS.
