Voluntary Control Fails ERE’S how voluntary agreements on controls work with the patriotic industrialists and business men of the nation. The citizens food committee along with the secretary of agriculture worked out a voluntary plan with distillers to save about four million bushels of grain a month by the simple expedient of not distilling whiskey. Most all whiskey distillers agreed. But one manufacturer of neutral spirits was not covered in the agreement. s So what happened? Whiskey distillers use neutral spirits in blending their whiskies, so this manufacturer of neutral spirits quadrupled his production, doubled his price of neutral spirits and _ used eight million bushels of grain a month during the entire period * of the agreement. Hence the government lost about four million bushels of grain a month instead of saving it, distillers were forced to pay double the price for neutral spirits and this fellow reaped a harvest at the expense of those who ‘agreed with the government. to do the patriotic thing and save grain for starving people in Europe. When consumer credit controls went ‘off November 1, mail order houses attempted to make a voluntary agreement among themselves to limit credit. All agreed but one. Result — all of them now are competing with one another in offering the lowest credit terms. | Yy * ON Lage PLAY FIELDS SWIMMING POOLS COMMUNITY _ BUILDINGS LOTS RTT RITE TE AEE a SMALL TOWNS, U.S.A. \ \ i Rural America Is on Threshold By EARLE ¢ y LS Released An airplane has made the trip from Newark airport to Miami in 2 hours and 56 minutes. You can soon fly up from Miami, have your racing program marked and get back in time for the next race. s Yard untors by HITCH WNU Ve @ nN Almost like-clicking a switch, rural America has been snapped into a new age. It is the era of big-scale, scientific agricultural production. Farming is undergoing revolutionary changes. As a consequence there is a shifting and shuffling in rural occupations. The new farming demands fewer workers. But it wants more mechanical skills, more capital and more business changing the character of rural em-:< ployment. As machines displace labor in farming, new rural occupations will have to be created. Otherwise local population losses are inevitable. Hence the people who live in the country today need, and will have, a new kind of community. The new community must be more than a place for trade. It must be the civic center of the whole country roundabout, as much devoted to matters of health, recreation and _ social good, as to matters of business. The inquiries and experiments have confirmed what civic leaders have been maintaining— that there are many ways in which the small community, probably to its own surprise, can provide what growing numbers of people want and cannot find elsewhere. That is, first of all, a pleasant place in which to work and live. The towns which realize this and act on the idea will be in favorable position. Things most needed over the country generally are better health services, clinics, hospitals, spaces and swimming pools; new jobs to take the place of those that are being eliminated by farm machinery, and more opportunities for small farming on a family-supporting basis.
