During the price freeze" era, the price of gasoline went up more than any other period of time in history. And controls have caused a worsening e reserves condition so far as are concerned, and our dependance on foreign oil products. We have a lot of confidence in our system. It will work if allowed to. To much manipulation on the part of government bureaus only tends to weaken the system, making it little more effective than the socialistic, government owned industries in some countries. And they destroy all incentive and creative talent that is inherent in free enterprise. We feel that a vote of confidence should be given to our system. Let's give it a chance to prove that it will work. Let the prices flucuate, then find a level that promote sales, yet return to the supplier a fair profit. We can not destroy profits, without absorbing losses. By controlling profits, we control investment, expansion, development of new technology and products, and personal incentive. Study it out, and see if you don't agree that this is the best plan in the world, if allowed to work. Then make your voice heard in suggesting that we return to "free" enterprise. long-rang- We've found the beet way to make a long story short is to yawn. C The natural gas and n controls on this past oil products week makes you wonder just what confidence our leaders have in the free enterprise system. It sorts reminds you of the old joke, where someone said Cheer up, things could be worse," so I cheered up and sure enough, things did get worse. It seems that if one segment of the economy moves into a normal downturn, which should be dictated by the free enterprise system of supply and demand, some economist suggests that things might get worse. So they slap some controls on, and sure enough, things get a lot worse. In the last decade, we have had numerous examples of the fact that controls generally just compound the problem. The pattern generally follows the trend of a weakened supply of a particular commodity, followed by rising prices. This brings about controls on the price, which in turn weakens the supply further, in many cases, forcing a relaxation on controls and even higher prices. You don't think so? Well, let's take a couple of for instances." You remember a few years ago when meat prices started going up. Steak prices moved up to the unheard of $1.50 per pound, and other cuts were similar, with a little of the benefit trickling down to the producer who had been feeling the pinch for several years. Then there was so much screaming that controls were placed on meat prices. And it was during this "controlled situation", and the resultof meat, then a drastic ing under-suppl- y caused by the manipula over-suppl- y junior high school. The 672 square feet includes one large room, used for classroom, lab, work area, and for any other purpose; a small kitchen, where kitchen skills are learned; a small room for a nursery, and another small storage room. The trailer has no water or bathroom facilities. Efforts are presently being made to find larger facilities for the schooling, since the number of students involved has grown greatly in the past year. The students attend class from 8:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. five days per week. Several are nearing completion of graduation requirements, and H is anticipated that about seven will receive diplomas in June.

Y., so far this year? That's in the city, not up in the mountains. And that's a whale of a lot of moisture for one season. We've had a total of some four or five inches in the valley here, with little moisture content And the hills are enjoying little more. And the prospects of a great deal of new moisture in the near future isnt too promising. Now what has Buffalo got that we don't have? Why do they get all of the snow, and we get none? If we knew the answers it might make interesting reading. Anyway, when we have dust storms next summer, you can just think of the people of Buffalo sand bagging their homes to prevent damage from n' r, SKILLS-Besid- es GROWING 65 NUM8ER 4 THURSDAY, J 1 academic skills, the students at the Young Mothers training center also are trained in kitchen skills.
