From The Clear Lake, Iowa, Re-porter: Re-porter: : Manufacturers of soft and hard bottled drinks could perform a public pub-lic service and make many friends for themselves by one simple little act Anyone who drives the highways today has seen the shoulders of roads littered with bottles. Manufacturers Manu-facturers these products could stick a label on each bottle and a message in each case, warning drinkers of the danger to life and limb caused by throwing their "empties" on the highway. Of course, it is against the law In most states to throw out bottles and refuse, but there cannot be a traffic officer behind each car. From The Independent Review, Aztec, N. M.t The present period of inflation has seen the price of commodities reach the highest level in history, and has lasted longer than any period of inflation has previously done. A period of inflation has followed fol-lowed each war we have experienced, experi-enced, which was in turn followed by a severe drop in prices. Prices have not dropped following World War II simply because our military activity has never let up. When it slows down prices will begin their downward course. From the middle mid-dle of 1920 to the middle of 1921 ' prices dropped over 40 per cent, stayed on a fairly even keel until 1 1929. then started down again until ' they reached bottom in 1933. From The Galena, 111., Gazette: A woman called yesterday with 1 the suggestion that this column ABOVE THE HULLABALOO By LYTLE HTJLL TPHE BIG UNION labor dictators art still wondering what happened. hap-pened. If they had paid mora attention at-tention to what happened on November No-vember 4, 1948 they would "get wise" to the fact that more and more union members are "getting wise" to the terms of the Taft-" Taft-" Hartley act The union labor vote in 1948 came closer to being split over that law than these dictators will allow themselves to believe. By that date many millions of members mem-bers or their wives had either read the law or had been posted on Its various provisions, and they voted against Truman because he opposed it. Those who understood Its contents realized that It was the union members emancipation proclamation. proc-lamation. In the recent steel strike which cost the union members so many millions in wages, and the public ' and our country so much grief, the workers would have had the right to vote on the continuation or culmination cul-mination of the strike by secret ballot if Truman had invoked the law. Having been granted more than the., --d asked for and being threatened by their leaders union shop demand, there is not much doubt how they would have voted. With high taxes and high prices the worker doesn't put much away in the savings bank; and after a few weeks his wife begins to heckle him about money to buy groceries. Well, before that Trumanued strike ended, these people needed money badly. But Truman and the dictators dicta-tors were going to continue the strike until they got the union shop and thus complete control of the workers, or until the national danger became so great they wouldn't dare go on with it To paraphrase Lincoln you can fool some union members all of the time, and all members some of the time, but you can't fool all of them all the time. Green, Lewis, Reuther and company should begin to realize this by now or maybe you can fool all labor leaders all the time. lousy . . . It's MEAT LOAF! would be a good place to extend a little recognition to the steady, dependable de-pendable job Ben Baker does every morning tidying up Main street. Ben is all through before most of us have even given much consid eration to rolling out of bed in the morning. Seems he can't sleep any later than 4 a.m. So, by 4:30 a.m.. he's out on the street getting it prettied up for another day of bustling and sometimes littering commerce on Galena's main stem. From The Waverly, N. Y., Sun: And so the season of the majes tic foliage Is over and we look back with regret that it passed all too cuickly. The bare limbs of a tree represent emptiness and can well be compared to a royal household where joy and splendor once reigned. A leafless tree reminds one of a king who has been stripped of all his majestic surroundings; sur-roundings; his brilliant robes have been replaced by sackcloth and his well groomed appearance has faded away. , From The Houlton, Me., Pioneer Times: The State Police are reportedly investigating the carcasses of two cows, dead from rifle bullets, which allegedly were found in Amity one morning prior to the official opening open-ing of the hunting season. The theory in this case is that the animals ani-mals met their fate at night. A contributing factor to their possibly pos-sibly being mistaken for deer under un-der a light, was the finding of a half consumed gallon of wine and a partially emptied fifth of m somewhat stronger beverage.

Wedding arrangements will be made later. ; IIow Is Lcoji Doing? Just Fine We are always geeting inquiries inquir-ies as to how Lean Hunsaker is doing at his work in the Chronicle. So this week we are happy to report that he is working out just fine. This is the first week since he came to work here that he has been able to put in full time, as Is in the past he has only been able to work after school. Starting Saturday on the tax list he set up Districts One and Two, and since Monday has set about 90 percent of the news in the paper this week. Those who know him know that as a result of an injury he is paralyzed from the waist down, but as the work he is doing here is operating the Intertype to set the news, this has been no handicap handi-cap to him. As far as we are concerned con-cerned he is becoming a very welcome wel-come and desirable addition to our staff. Also this week we were fortunate fortun-ate in having Ross Esplin spend a good deal of time with us. Mr. and Mrs. Esplin were here visiting their parents, Mr. and Mrs. M. Ward Moody, and as Ross teaches journalism at Dixie college, he was very interested the actual operation op-eration of the small country weekly. week-ly. Rather than have him just stand around we put him to work and he read proof on the tax list, as well as the proof on most of the balance of the paper. "f ' 7i WOUXDED, DEJECTED ROK SOLDIERS . . .

However, these troops were still In possession of Sniper Ridee at the time. Attend National Farm Bureau Convention The experience of attending the National farm Bureau convention In Seattle, this month is one that will long be remembered by Mr. iand Mrs. Olaf George, county farm bureau presidents. Some of the highlights of the trip were the thrill of seeing the Northwest country, traveling down the Columbia River, the overnight stay at Portland, the trip up along the Coast, seeing the rich dairy land of Washington and the Convention Con-vention itself. The Vesper services on Sunday afternoon at the First Presbyterian Presbyter-ian Church, along with the candle service was very impressive. The Convention got into full swing with President Kline's annual ann-ual message and the report of the executive secretary, Roger Fleming. Fle-ming. Talks were given by representatives repres-entatives of Labor, Industry, both Houses of Congress and lalso top Agricultural experts. These talks gave an overall picture of the National, International Internat-ional and Agricultural situation. Utah was especially honored when their Talent Find number won outstanding recognition. They were interviewed by talent scouts; recordings re-cordings made and pictures taken as a result of their success. "How We Can Best Help the Far Bast and Middle East", was the thought Mrs. Raymond Sayre, President of Associated Women, very ably put over. Due to her experience, study and personal con tact on a recent tour of those countries, she was able to present pre-sent her subject in a very vital and interesting manner. After the convention a trip by plane to Vancouver Island was arranged. Sight-seeing buses took us on tours of the island including in-cluding the beautiful City of Victoria. Vic-toria. On our return by boat, which was a 614 hour trip, the Utah delegation of nearly 100 represented repre-sented the state very well by entertaining en-tertaining and leading the entertainment enter-tainment of a group of between five and six hundred people, most- ly Farm Bureau members from other states.

It is nice to make them, though, it shows that at least one is trying to do what's right, even though one never gets very far at it. Glen, never sweat, Crawford has made an outstanding resolution this year. He has resolved to work at least one day in 1953, and to only needle Ot Walch, alternate months. If he keeps it, one can see thiat the w orld will be a better place in which to live. Hatch, I like Action, Farnsworth, is going to resolve to make up his mind and keep it that way in 1053. It seems that he Mel Sharp made quite a trade of property about ten days ago, and Hatch got the apartments out of it. Hatch only had time to sweep the front steps before he lost interest in-terest in the deal, and was honing hon-ing for a re-trade. The re-trade was made, but not without a slight consideration to be paid by Hatch. It seems that Hatch agreed to pay Mel.s income tax for the coming five or six years, just for the privilege of getting back some property he once had. Oh, well, 'as they say, if you are making change you are doing busines.s Now that Nobe Peterson has sold the garage and got out of the automobile business, he can now resolve to go straight. In Nobe's case it will be difficult, but without the garage he has a better chance. Loke and Jim Peterson and Hon Cropper have resolved not to hunt geese any more, at least not until the season re-opens. Ot, Say It With Cash, Walch, has resolved to allow a depositor deposi-tor one little, tennsey, weensey, overdraft without sending out nasty na-sty little notes. After that, of course, cour-se, one can expect plenty of little nasty notes. Mayor Pace has resolved to make a speech once this coming year, which event is anxiously waited by one and all. Eldon Sorenson has resolved to people, but I am afraid that my resolution will be about as long-lived long-lived ias most. So time will tell. Toots.

TOES THE DEVIL ever visit you in your own image? If he does, you may entertain the horrible suspicion that you lcok like the devil literally. That's how my friend Wilfred Dogsctt feels. He, cursed with an oversensitive conscience and a rather careless virtue, suffers regular visitations from Satan. Wilfred assures me that Satan has all the legendary accoutrements of the Devil, in eluding tail and cloven hoof, except the diabolical and scheming countenance. coun-tenance. Instead, Satan wears Wilfred's placid and stolid features. "On him it don't look good," sighs Wilfred. "You can get the same effect by leering at yourself in the mirror." Wilfred confides that Satan makes himself at home around the Doggett residence except when Mrs. Doggett is nearby and seems to be just as shiftless as Wilfred himself. Satan likes to do his bedevilling be-devilling leisurely and is apt to poach upon Wilfred's easy chair and newspaper. He sits long hours reading and chuckling with satisfaction satis-faction at all the murders and political polit-ical shenanigans. This leaves Wilfred Wil-fred nothins to do but sit rigidly in a hard chair opposite Satan and watch his tail shooing away flies Sometimes Mrs. Doggett enters the room and shoos the Devil away with her presence. "She's a little bit frightf-ning." whispers Wi'fred, "even to a fellow used to hell." Wilfred thinks that if Satan weren't as shiftless as Wilfred himself him-self he'd work a little harder at tein? a devil. Satan never tries to terrify Wilfred, r.ever attempts to drag him off or Cay him alive. He just hangs around, makins? Wilfred uneasy by his amazing likeness to Wilfred. "'He never scolds me for my sins," complains Wilfred, "or offers of-fers me any interesting temptations, tempta-tions, lie probably knows every sin in the bok, but he's awfully stingy wih thorn-curse him!

By WALTER SHEAD ALL WASHINGTON Is agog In anticipation of one of the most elaborate inaugural ceremonies in the history of the country in spite of the fact that the President-elect would prefer some more . simple rites. Already hotel rooms are a sellout, sell-out, the inaugural committee is canvassing the rooming houses for possible housing for thousands of visitors, the steel inaugural plat form on the steps of the capitol building Is complete except for decoration, and the biggest throng in Washington history is expected to view the inaugural ceremonies, plus the millions who will see the inauguration of a President for the first time by television. Political observers here are asking ask-ing if the appointment of lame-duck sena'.or Henry Cabot Lodge of Massachusetts from the liberal element of the Republican party, as his liason representative with the Truman administration is an indication indi-cation of his future appointments. Appointment of J. M. Dodge, Detroit De-troit banker, an old buddy and financial adviser to Eisenhower In Germany, as personal budget representative rep-resentative also was considered as significant The meeting between President Truman and Gen. Eisenhower at the White House also set precedent, prece-dent, and of course was for the express ex-press purpose of presenting a united front on basic foreign policy for the benefit of the world and the United Nations. General Eisenhower, backed by the biggest vote ever given an American president from the ranks of Republicans and Democrats, labor la-bor and management. Catholic and Protestant, rich and poor, north and south, will go Into office on January 20 probably with less pressure than any other president in history. No deals, no strings, no commitments other than the promises prom-ises and aledges he made to the American people. i A WW? v p$ f ; asmngton - . j . . . Bovine with ItcU : rought the Netherlands, in Photography He amassed a total of almost 32 million votes, more than 10 million more than the average Republican vote In the last four elections. His party at the state levels ran far behind him. Some Republican senators sena-tors and congressmen were elected only because of the tremendous Eisenhower Eis-enhower vote. Other Republicans could not even win on his coat tails witness Kem of Missouri, Cain of Washington, Eckton of Montana, Mon-tana, Lodge of Massachusetts. Others squeaked through as evidenced evi-denced by the almost tie set-up of the Senate and the bare majority in the House. So Democrats can take some heart out of the election, and Republicans cannot crow too loudly, for it was a personal victory for the popular national hero. What will happen in the next Congress is difficult to determine. Most likely, it will be governed by a Republican-southern democratic coalition as it has been in the past decade. With the Senate composed of 48 Republicans, 47 Democrats and one independent (Senator Wayne Morse) the vote of Vice President Richard Nixon and Morse may prove most important on close partisan questions. Certainly the new president will not have a working majority In either house of Congress. If he approaches ap-proaches the Congress on a partisan par-tisan basis, he may have trouble. If he asks for bi-partisan cooperation coopera-tion he likely will get through his program, and he has a reputation of reconciling opposing opinions. Many political observers here say that'Eisenhower will be a one-term one-term president; that, for this reason, rea-son, he will take the leaders of both parties into his confidence, and that with his record Democratic vote in the south, will win many southern Democrats over to his way of thinking. These same observers point out that with one term in mind, he will not play politics as most Presidents are forced to do throughout their first term. |
