Show THE BEAVER PRESS, BEAVER, UTAH J TrArr SCANNING THE WEEK'S NEWS of Main Street and the World AFL Breaks This Community And Got Itself Needed a New Industry, Just 10 Months One-- ln One day in February, I9J0, the folks in Hoosick Falls, New York, gathered happily at a new building, ichich had been constructed at a cost of $131,000 with community-raise- d funds, and celebrated the opening of their newest industry, a shoe manufacturing company. The story behind this event in Hoosick Falls, a town whose population is under With Farm Agencies; By AFL BREAKS TIES Farmers and farm workers across the nation were pondering the sudden action of the American Federation of Labor obviously aimed at breaking off its heretofore friendly relations with the American Farm Bureau Federation and the National Grange. a Meeting at Montreal, Canada, the AFL's executive council issued statement which charged that the labor organization could no longer "appease" these farm groups because they had swung "to the side of reaction" in national affairs. "In fact, on economic issues of vital concern to the national welfare," the statement said, 'It has become difficult to discern any major difference between the policy of the American Farm Bureau Federation and the National Grange on the one hand, and that of the National Association of Manufacturers and the U. S. Chamber of Commerce on the other." The AFL then pointed out that "labor cannot go on indefinitely supporting legislation beneficial to farmers while their organizations r maintain a policy of seeking punitive legislation." The AFL made it clear that it was disappointed in the action of the farm groups in teaming up with "big business" representatives to defeat the enactment of effective controls. This would seem to be the opening shot in a civil war between two big segments of the nation's economy.

Hoic long did it take Hoosick Falls to obtain its new industry and get it into operation on home grounds? Ten action-packe- d months. From the time the idea received its first impetus and stimulation in April, 1919, in the pages of the Hoosick Falls weekly news paper, The Standard Press, until the opening of the plant in 1 9.10. Ten m o n t h s, brimming with w o r k, planning, and action. -rOther communities have Hoosick Falls, seeling the magic formula for getting new industry. There is no magic. The formula, as one of the town's businessmen put it, is: "Simple! The answer is teamwork, hard work, and a helping hand from all including the weatherman." The weatherman, incidentally, played his part by providing a mild winter so that construction on the new building could move ahead at top speed. Next week in this space we will gt into a more detailed study of just how that formula was made to work for Hoosick Falls. mid-Februar- ajh-proach- y, r- ed CORN Gen.

That civic holiday in February FEATURE celebrated not only the acquisition of a jww industry a task to which the local businessmen's committee had pledged itself the previous spring but also the fact that an answer had been found to at least a part of the problem which was bothering the town's leaders. This problem, in a word, was how to promote Hoosick Falls' industrial growth, which apparently had come to a halt. It was this question which sent the committee into action last year. The townspcojde knew that although they hud a reasonably prosperous community, the industrial capacity of Hoosick Falls had remained static for some time and not enough jobs were being created to provide employment opportunities for the young people of the town. Industrial employment in the community had dropped less to than 1,000 by the time the businessmen decided that it was time to stop talking and go into action. So now the shoe company is in operation there. It responded, after some weeks of negotiations, to the committee's invitation to locate in the community, beginning with an initial employment of more than 100. The company expects to raise this figure to 450, involving an annual jxiyroll in excess of $1,000,000, when in full operation. The New York state department of commerce, which assisted in the negotiations for the new plant, had only the effort made by the town's busihighest praise for the all-onessmen and leaders. Commissioner Harold Keller of the department particularly commended the Hoosick Falls committee for the speed with which the entire project was handled, and for the strong and lively spirit of community enterprise which, in the final analysis, made the program a success. "Hoosick Foils has provided very definite evidence of the manner in which communities can help themselves to a larger economic future," he said. "The persistence and cooperation shown by the local industrial committee was of greatest importance in the successful outcome.

And while the price freeze was on, you budget-balance- rs smart, forward-lookin- g were putting on your own freeze the deep one! So now you can both have your pork and eat it. OPS explains the ceiling on wholesale pork cuts was necessary because the prices of lean, lightweight hogs, whence come most of our roasts and chops, have gone up substantially since the general freeze of January. The packers have been in the middle between rising hog prices and frozen retail charges. So OPS relieves the pack' ers. The dollar and cents ceilings in this new ruling apply first at the original seller's level, either at the slaughtering plant or the plant of the seller who cuts the loins from the dressed hog. But guess who's in the middle now! Your favorite butcher! He now has this formula to follow. He may pass on the aDDroximate amount of the increases he is re quired to pay under the new ceil ing, in this way: he can take the average price he paid for loins between January 19 and January 25, and subtract this price from the average he paid for loins last week. Then he can add the remainder to last week's average price. And each Monday, he makes new adjustments. Who are we to begrudge him a little profit from all this?

Observers are now wondering if the Communists are planning a new offensive if the Kaesong armistice talks collapse, or are they pouring in troops merely to strengthen the hand of their negotiators? Many are inclined to belive it means a new offensive. They point out that unusually heavy truck traffic through North Korea toward the front, started at the first mention of armistice talks late in June and continued through mid-JulThere is an entirely new vigor in the North Korean army, observers point out, and Communist artillery has become more plentiful and bolder.

This was a decrease of 72 million bushels from its July 1 forecast. However, the department said, the indicated crop, plus reserves, would be more than ample to meet needs. Floods and dry weather last month was credited with cutting the crop to an estimated 998 million bushel harvest. Several million acres of wheat, corn, barley, flaxseed and potatoes were destroyed by mid-weiiooas. ine year s corn estimate was lowered to 3,206 million bushels, 89 million bushels below last month's predictions.
