UTAH ASSOCIATION 11, l 1 .Vi v1 i in by "Geneva THE VALUE OF LOOKING AHEAD At this season many of us pause to consider the year that lies ahead, to anticipate as best we can the needs and problems that will arise and to make some provision for meeting them. Being prepared for probable events and contingencies often spells the difference between success and failure. This applies .not only to our individual lives but to the affairs of business concerns as well. During the war our success in producing weapons so inprodigiously was due not only to the ability of American fact also that to the itself but to quickly, adjust dustry through their foresight many businessmen were prepared for the emergency. After Pearl Harbor the electric liht and power demands were far beyond anything previously needed. Vet never a moment was lost for lack of them because private power utilities were ready to expand their capacity for just such a contingency. As Americans look ahead, preparing themselves for tomorrow both individually and in business, our Nation will be equal to the demands of the future and will continue to grow and prosper.

STALIN'S RETURN The return of Joseph Stalin to after a nine-wee- k absence put to silence the rumors about his heatlh which had been floating around since his failure to appear at last month's 2Sth anniversary celebration of the Red revolution.

MOltK PRODUCTION The Senate Small Husiness Committee has been hearing an earful about the handicaps imposed on American retailers the public by some of the wierd and inconsistent policies of OI'A. A long paradt of witnesses pointed out that the OPA seems more concerned wiib keeping a tight control on a limited quantity of goods a quantity which is steadily decreasing than with encouraging full pro net ion which would soon make price control unnecessary. Particular objeection has been voiced to the policy of forcing retailers to pay higher prices for goods at wholesale while being allowed no increase in their own sales prices. 1his "squeeze" is working a hardship on many small merchants who do not have enough financial re sources to cushion the blow. America's many thousands of small independent merchants are a tower of strength to the national economy in the jobs they create, the sen Ices they render and the taxes they ,,;,y H,,, ft,(,jr 1rollloTf are made doubly hard by thoes OPA practices which tend to stifle rather than to stimulate business. Not only in their Interests hut in the interests of the public at large, government price regulations Now that those lovely nylons are on the way back, the trick is finding soaps to wash 'em in! Best vjay to fix that is to keep - temporarily rather than permanently correcting it. Much emphasis is laid on the control of building materials and their prices, and also on the use of flimsy houses and barracks intended originally for occupancy only during the war. Tt hardly need he said that the only real answer to the housing problem is the construction of more permanent housing facilities. When home building gets started on a large e scale, construction should be designed as much for the demand as for the satisfying of immediate needs. The home of tomorrow will have many . electrical conveniences. Homes built now and in the future should have, therefore, sufficiently heavy wiring and enough outlets installed to make possible the full use of electrical facilities when they become available. The steady decline in electric rates enables even the most modest homes to enjoy the convenience and g provided by electric equipment. Millions of homes must be built in the next few years lfJ the housing headache is to be licked. But if Washington otlieials will spend less time trying to figiyc out a quick cure i and more time toward getting trees and red tape cut the problem will at least be one step nearer solution. The World This Week Bean stated, "Perhaps the most important single function of the Army Recruiting Service is that of carefully advising every veteran and every civilian who is elegible for enlistment in the regular army, as to the benefits and privileges which are available to him as a career soldier. I am especially eager that no service man who is considering retaining his enlisted grade shall wait until after January 31, to complete his unless he does so deafter receiving full inliberately formation that he must before that date in order to secure reinsatement to his temporary . "Be it ever so humble there's no place like home." But the acute housing shortage throughout America has produced a new version of that old adage: "Be it ever so humble there's no place."
