Manufacturers and processors will continue their established price policies and allocate soarce goods fairly to their customers.

Prices on meat and grain products will be increased from 10 to 25 or enough to equal the subsidy payments and other allowance heretofore made by the government. It should be remembered that an overall increase of 10 in prices on food products will increase the cost of living only 10 of the amount expended weekly for feed items, and not of the income received by 10 an individual. , post-wa- Copper Council Arranging For Labor DayFete- - RENTAL RULES The Copper Coordinating Council is arranging for a second annual Labor Day celebration to be held in Magna, announces authorities.

County Title self-restrai- nt - Single-eliminati- Basle Remedies Here is a rough outline of the key elements of a basic program. 1 Cut public expenditures to the bone and let tax revenues accumulate as business volume increases perhaps broadening the tax base at the same time. Now, if ever, is the time to nm a surplus and to use it to retire debt. Immediate upward pressure on prices would thus be removed and the burden of carrying debt when the going gets tougher later on would be relieved. A $10 billion surplus of federal, state and local revenues during the next year might not be too much. An increase in social security taxes, as the House Ways and Means Committee proposes, offers one of a number of good ways to increase revenues. Deferring public works not immediately needed affords one of numerous ways by which substantial cuts in expendilures'cari be made. 2 Tighten the terms on which installment credit is available for the purchase of houses, automobiles and other consumers goods. Left to run a free course, expansion of credit to buy houses and durable consumers goods might easily add $15 billion to consumer purchasing power next year. No such injection of credit is needed now. The more a man buys "on time the more cash he keeps to spend on something else. For most products the cash market alone is more than big enough to keep producers busy and customers healthy. 3.Restore to the Federal Reserve system its' lost control over the supply of credit by limiting the opportunities for credit expansion now afforded by huge banks holdings of government securities. The specific pleasures needed are highly technical, ' but are agreed upon by banking experts as both feasible and fair. The important thing for the public at large to do is to recognize that we are, in effect, sitting on a powder keg with iighted match in hand until the measures are taken. 4 Revive a vigorous campaign to sell government savings bonds and other government securities to he public. Sale of government savins bonds cut down current consumer spending. It also' allows the Treasury, if government spendin" ueia down, to retire government (Continued On Page 4) -- on was decided.. The local boys defeated the runnerup Midvale team, 13 to 12. This allows them to compete in the state tournament, to be held in Salt Lake City the second week of August They also won a fine trophy signifying their championship. A similar hardball tourney will be held starting July 17th at Murray and at Magna with a single-eliminati- tourney plan slated. The captain of the team was Wayne Buckner with the personnel as follows: John Prokapas, Bill Burke, Russell Wadsworth, Bob Duckworth, Wayne Sandall, LaRa Beagley, Gene Roberts, Bill Pat-sour-is and Ken Peterson.
