Manuscript SWEET MUSIC And while home towners tried to understand statements from Washington on the economic situation, the average small town resident read of reports from New York, Oklahoma City, and Atlanta of red-ho- t price cutting wars following the supreme court fair trade decision with a feeling of awe and incredulity. To many it was like sweet music of yesterday. Tens of thousands of gleeful shoppers men and women rushed wildly through New York bargain basements in search for nationally advertised goods that had been marked down, some of it as much as 40 per cent. Small electrical appliances, summer-weigsuits, cosmetic items, novels, sheets, pillow cases, nylon hose and girdles were 'f-W marked down again and again. It was a consumers paradise.

Queen of and of BUSINESS AS USUAL For some time the home towner has been uneasy over the nations economical outlook. Headlines in the last few days haven't helped his uneasiness any. Economic Stabilizer Eric Johnstons charge that the nation is sitting on an economic time bomb that may explode into runaway inflation next fall, unless congress keeps a strong program on the law books, caused considerable comment and worry. On top this the beef industry all the way from farmer to grocer was in an uproar over his charge that the beef industry is trying to ride roughshod over the American housewife with a cry of damn the consumer and full pockets ahead." Noted for speaking his mind, Johnston said that business as usual has an ominous ring to me at a time when men are dying in battle in Korea for a free way of life. He added that the consumer, the housewife, is not going to be the forgotten American if I can help it. before making Shortly of Amer- LAST HD PUZZLE of Main Street and the World It looks like printing, but it manunew style is really a script writing.

The survey showed that quality of handwriting has an influence upon the marks children get in school. Among grade school principals, 89.9 per cent said good handwriting helps produce good marks," and among high school heads the count was almost the same, 89 6 per cent. The most commonly indicated reasons among those who think todays handwriting is better were: Improvement of teaching methods, more widespread use of good writing equipment, and the repsondents own disinclination to glorify the good old days." However, there is a sizeable minority of principals 35.6 per cent who feel that the handwriting of their present pupils is worse than that of their forebears.
