C., af ter August 1, if the theater con tinues to bar Negroes, Granting of this demand had been urged upon the Theater Lea gue's board of governors by Rev. | Donald Harrington, national 1 chairman of the Workers Defen se League. He acted at the re quest of the union when the thea. ter league appeared split on whe ther to agree to such a provision. Still ahead is the struggle to end the bar on Negroes at the Na tional Theater. Marcus Heiman, head of the theater, said that he would transform it into a movie house rather than admit Negroes. Meat Packing Industry The atart of commercial meat packing in North America can be traced to 1641 when a square-rigged ship sailed from Boston harbor with a cargo which a handful of New England colonists hoped could' be sold to West Indies plantation own ers. Capt. John Pynchen, Spring field, Mass., and a few farmer neigh bors had consigned hogsheads of beef and pork, packed in salt, te England’s colonies. Eye Girl’s Warm To tempt potential husbands many maidens in the Orient, espe cially in Asia Minor, build up nice dowries by weaving rugs. With their earnings thfy buy perforated gold coins, which they wear as necklaces around their necks s5 that a young village buck, at a elance. can evaluate a girl’s worth. Re finishing Cabinets If the old finish of a metal kitchen cabinet is not scratched or chipped, a thorough cleaning to remove any traces of greasy film, followed by a light rubbing with'very fin* sand paper to dull.the gloss of the old enamel, should be sufficient prepa ration for refinishing. After wiping with turpentine or mineral spirits, apply one^or .two coats of enamel undercoater, in accordance With the manufacturer’s directions on the can, and finish with a eoat of enamel of the desired tint. Lime Essential Lime Is essential on acid soils for proper growth of many crop and pasture plants. To promote this de rired growth, sufficient lime should Pe.applied to change the acid condi tion to a near neutral point. Under Host conditions in the upland area the addition of lime to the soil else provides calcium fbr* plant growth. Commercial fertilizer. Incorporated with .the soil management practices previously mentioned, S essential for continued high crop production. Every crop harvested for grain, forage or > other use removes plant food from the’soil. Soils' under con tinuous cropping systems, coupled with erosion, lose their plant nu trients faster than they can be re placed by nature. American Meat Packing From a humble beginning 306 rears ago, meat packing bias grown « become one of the nation’s larg est industries. Meat packers in the United States produce more than 20 Dillion pouifas of meat annually. From five million farms and ranches in every state the meat packers purchase 127'miliisn cattle, calves, hogs aift sheep fo make into iteaks, roasts, stews, sausag^ Items and Scanned meat, as^wtll as utiliz ing'by-products for many pharma ceutical and manufacturing items.

ECONOMIC HIGHLIGHTS Happenings That Affect the Dinner Pails, Dividend Checks and Tax Bills of Every Individ ual National and International Problems Inseparable fro Local Welfare No one knows how long it will last, but it is evident that this country is still enjoying a hell for-leather period of economic prosperity. For more than a year, leading economists have been fore casting recessions and depressions none of which have materialized. Last June, according to Depart ment of Commerce figures, per sonal incomes in the United States hit th record annual rate of $193, 000,000.000. In that same month the number of productively em ployed people passed the 60,000, 000 mark for the first time, and the July figure was still higher, j It is true, of course, that the i purchasing power of the dollar is much lower than in previous j times. Even so, wawge increases j have, for the most part, kept pace with price increases, and in some industries have materially exceed, ed them. The major exceptions to the rule have been the white collar and professional classes, whose earnings, measured by the yardstick of purchasing power. I are less than during and before1 the war. People living on fixed incomes have taken a tremendous j financial beating. It is the labor- i ing groups which have benefited most. Herbert Hoover recently said ' that he could not foresee any im portant drop in businesss in the near future. That point of view is widely shared at the present time, even by some of the com mentators who anticipated econ omic upheavals this summer. This optimism as to the immediate out-! look is producing increased pessl mism as to the long-term outlook on the theory that the longer the boom lasts th„ more severe will ! be the break when it comes. It is situation where the old prize- , ring dictum that “the bigger they , are the harder they fall” applies. But this is in the realm of specu lation. The business indices are still going up, and the goal of “full employment” seems to have been reached. In many important lines, output would be a great deal larger than at present if more supplies were available. Every consumer knows that r71 this has done to prices. Here, a gain. those who forecast last f .11 that substantial price brea’:j would come by mid-1947 ww<_; e I badly fooled. The Bureau of Labor Statistics price index recently touched another new high, and it is expected to go higher still. That is the result of many factors governmental fiscal policy, fore ign buying in a tight market, ever expanding business overhead, etc. To choose the most obvious rea son, higher prices are inevitable when 66,000,000 people, earning the highest pay in history, are panting goods and services of all kinds. There are still many people 1 to whom price is of little conse quence—as the so-called “used | automobile” market abundantly j proves. Throughout the country,! 1947 automobiles bring bonuses of , from $400 to $1500 on the used- | i car lots—and dealers report tnat f there is no dearth of purchasers. 1 The loosening of the regulations on time-payment purchases has been a factor in keeping sales of expensive articles at the peak level. When families run out of cash, they can keep on buying on liberal installment terms. In some j fields, such as radios, evidence of j over-production is apparent, espici ally of unknown brands. But stap le, advertised goods of all kinds are selling well. Very few people believe that this is a healthy economy. Econ omists for industry shake their heads when they start talking about the long-time future. So do thee conomists for the labor un ions. All of them are concerned wiht what might happen if we had a depression accompanied by high prices. It has never happened , in this country. Ie hashappened in many other countries. And is definitely an unpleasant prospect. Practically everyone is now con. vinced that U- S.-Soviet relations ■Will.-continue to deteriorate. at least for^the ijecst-^^ai^or ^o.

The extent of Russian gains since VE Day has been a mazing. In countries such as Hun gary, the communists completely dominate the government—even though, in the last free election, communist candidates got less than 20 per cent of the vote. The oether parties have been outlawed or made impotent. The last-ditch dissenters have had an ominous habit of disappearing—save for the fortunate few who have man aged to escapg to Eengland, the United States, and South America. The communist group in ranee is extremely aggressive, and is obviously engaged in an all-out drive for power. This is one of the worst Anglo-American head aches at the present time.
