Certainly, its hardly time to be think ing about Christmas in 1957. But wait a minute! Aren't many of us buying some of the year’s presents with money we started saving last year? At east several hundred thousand are, to say nothing of several million people throughout the country. Christmas Clubs are now getting underway iny banks, and it's t lot simpler to get in at the start than try to catch up later. Christmas of 1957 seems a long way off, but it’s going to get here right on schedule. And that’s always sooner than we’re quite ready for. Anyway, start saving now for a happier and more affluent holiday season next year. You'll be glad you did. Important To You The purpose and function of the monetary controls in our Ameri can financial system have always seemed vague and mysterious to the average citizen and quite unrelated to his daily life. But recently the rising interest rates and the “tight money” situa tion have brought home to him the fact that monetary controls do have a very definite affect on his affairs. Most people have heard that the Federal Reserve Board has been endeavoring to c irb inflationary dangers by making it more costly to borrow money from banks The Federal Reserve Board apparently reasons that, for instance, if too much money is borrowed for construc tion and expansion at a time when there simply aren’t sufficient ma terials to meet the demand, this will result in a bidding up of prices. This is, of course, inflationary. Now, one of the current aims of the Federal Reserve Board is to prevent prices from getting out of hand, and undermining the value of the dollar. But the Federal Reserve Board can exercise direct monetary controls only over the banks—not over other financial insti tutions such as insurance companies and savings and loan organiza tions. In other words, when the Federal Reserve Board endeavors to hold down the volume of bank loans, it’s like turning off one faucet to pre vent the tub from overflowing, while leaving two other faucets wide open. The point is that if we are to have really effective inflationary con trols—and such controls certainly seem necessary in our economy, as it is now constituted—then more than just one segment of our financial system. This matter, far from being the concern of financiers alone, is of vital interest to most, if not all, of our 167 million population. Neighbor to Neighbor Talk From the EAST BAY GUIDANCE COUNCIL by Harold Jones Each time several of us fathers muster up courage enough to at tend a P-TA meeting we become more aware of why it is the average father stays home under the comforting influence of the good and rusty TV set. In fact, Dad is just about the only member of the fam ily left these days with the slightest remnant of that "good old con cept" of home still burning within his tired and tried old heart. “Poor old Dad!” Unfortunately, the day of the old “iron handed” boys is gone, and since Dad is outnumbered, he finds it safer and less nerve wracking not to try to rule the roost but to sit around viewing on the “late shows" the good old days when men were men the women proud of it "Boy!” The panel discussion we attended the other night was truely a mazing. We listened, and the women “yacked." “How late should a tenth grader stay out on a school night? Should we allow our child ren to hold hands? Should we set up smoking areas on the school grounds? Should we chaperone the children’s parties?" Imagine a “real" father debating these questions. We sat, listened and wonder ed just how far off the deep end our “dear” better halves could go. The youth on the panel didn't hesitate—they knew all the answers. They needed no guidance; some stayed out until three a. m. or what ever hotfr held no psychological stigma for them. They “couldn’t be cissies” and get in too early. Holding hands wasn't the problem, these kids needed cars as part of their every day school equipment. Who ever heard of walking a date? Competition now-a-days, among the fifteen year olders is just much too much. “We have to have our own cars; we can't have our parents snooping aroung giving us rides to and from where we have to go.” Well, these are your kids and your headaches! After the meeting, we gathered in the cafeteria in small groups to sip coffee. But here a strange transformation took place. In each of these small groups there were parents who could recall those swell kid parties where the parents joined in and a good time was had by all. They also recalled how they had walked as youth and taken in all the good old truely romantic spots. They laughed at how they had feared and obeyed the good old curfew laws an how mother or dad would be standing on the porch awaiting their return home. Did you know that we still have curfew laws and that it is unlawful for kids under twenty-one to have or be given or sold cigarettes—much less smoke them in pubic? Well, so it went and strangely enough, all agreed those were the days they wouldn't have traded for anything. I gave up and went home and decided that I’d let you figure it out. I’m bushed and I'm stumped. NO COMMENT by James W. Douthat The nation has before it a fresh example of the injury the people would suffer if union labor bosses should persuade Congress to scuttle the Taft-Hartley Act The example is the strike of longshoremen on the East and Gulf Coasuj, a strike which threatened heavy economic loss and endangered the nation's international relations. Faced by this serious situation, President Eisenhower invoked pro visions of the Taft-Hartley Act under which courts can enjoin for a total of 80 days strikes which “imperil the national health or safety." j The President would have been virtually powerless to protect the j country—including union employees of railroads and other companies—! if the injunction provisions had been eliminated in the many congress ional fights over the law since its enactment in 1947. For it is the power of injunction that is most vehemeaty assailed by union labor bosses—injunctions to restrain disastrous national strikes, injunctions to prevent ruination of companies and individuals by unfair labor prac tices. In the historic fight of 1949 over the Taft-Hartley Act, the Senate retained the injunctive power by a vote of 46 to 44. This broke the backs of the Senate drive to scuttle the law. Had the anti-injunction forces won, it is probable that the Senate would have gone on to vir tually repeal the law. The alternative proposed by pro-union labor Senators at the time was that the President be given authority to seize and operate indus tries. Another demand of union labor bosses is that, if injunctive powers are retained, the President be directed to appoint a board which will name terms of settlement. This proposal was much favor ed during the Truman Administration, when the labor union bosses were confident the President would name boards which would favor them. CHANGING SENATE RULES—Conservative Senators are greatly concerned over dangers lurking in the proposal of self-styled liberals to destroy the rule of virtually unlimited .debate in the Senate. The effect would be, they say, to destroy one of the checks and balances which are keystones of the American system. They regret that discussion of rules changing usually is limited to the effect on civil rights legislation, for the result would be much more far-reaching. Under Senate rules, two of the Senators can limit debate. But this drastic procedure seldom is used. The new proposal is that a majority of the Senate be given power to cut off debate. The argument for retention of the present rule of virtually unlimit ed debate is that it is a great safety-valve. It is argued that it is a protection against hasty and ill-conceived legislation—against pressure groups—against undue White House interferences—against harsh and rigid party discipline. Those favoring a more rigid debate limitation include groups which advocate strict party discipline, with expulsion for dissident Senators. They also include groups usually seeking more government spending and control under prodding of pressure organizations. THREAT OF INFLATION—Methods of stopping inflation will be given considerable attention in Washington in the next several weeks. President Eisenhower is expected to discuss the subject in his annual message to Congress, and may have positive recommendations. Dr. Raymond J. Saulnier, new chairman of the Council of Economic Advisers, has been quoted as sharing Mr. Eisenhower's view that con stantly rising prices should be halted. And, while Dr. Saulnier says both industry and labor must help, he feels that the government has a very great responsibility. There are indications that the White House will insist upon continued balanc ing of the federal budget. slews From Around Nebraska The Red Cloud Junior Chamber of Commerce showed some special initiative this year in building a motorized sleigh, Santa and prancing reindeer. The sleigh is built upon a car chassis and has room to hold thirty children on each ride. The Jaycees are taking the kids for rides in Red Cloud and are also serving other communities in the Red Cloud area. The sleigh is equipped with a loud speaker system to advertise the Christmas season as it goes along. The Red Cloud men built the affair, using an estimated 300 hours of work. v • • • The lake which is being impounded behind the Gavins Point dam is to be known as the Lewis and Clark Lake and already a Wynot man has started work building a boat basin and recreation area for use of those who will use the lake in the future. Current plans are to have a souvenir stand, a small grocery, refreshment stand and cabins. The plans are to have the recreation center ready by April 1st, next spring. , • • * The Tekamah Lions Club is raising money to provide Christmas baskets for the shut-ins and needy, reports the Pla indealer. The men have sold tickets to a theatre party which is being held to night, Thursday, and Friday. • • • The Chadron Fire Department is moving into a new building this week, according to the Chadron Record. The department has heretofore been located in a building in the heart of the business district. The location was bad because the firehouse was sur rounded by buildings which could easily produce a major blaze thereby putting the fire department out of business. In addition, the area was quite congested and produced many hazards as the fire trucks made hurried calls. • • • David City held a pancake day last week and served cakes and sausages to 2000 persons, according to fhe David City Ban ner-Press. It was the second annual feed the David City men had served and was regarded an outstanding success. • • • A survey of school building needs has been completed at South Sioux City and the results of the survey are being announced at at dinner held tonight. Not only does the South Sioux school board have to determine the needs, but they also must determine the place where a new building could be erected. South Sioux is built on the Missouri River quick sand and large buildings there require special footings. The Lewis and Clark school at South Sioux has settled badly and wide cracks have appeared in the walls. The floor of the auditorium has dropped several inches, the Dakota County Star reported. ft • • The Lions Chamber of Commerce, the churches and the busi ness men will stage a nativity parade on Saturday afternoon, De cember 15th. The Nativity story will be told through floats, live animals and presentation of Biblical characters of that time. Every church in the community has joined in the movement and are building several floats for each church. Lyons merchants feel that the parade will be unusual and will draw hundreds of persons to town on the day It is seen. » • • Minden High School students are holding their annual “Twirp’’ days this week. The word Twirp is the initials of “The Woman Is Requested To Pay.” During the week the girls have to ask for the dates and they have to pay all the expenses. Girls are not supposed to ask the same boy more than twice and boys can not turn down an invitation except for good reason. The girls have to furnish the transportation—if possible—they must open the doors for the boys, must take the boys home after a date, must help the boys on and off with their coats and the boys must walk on the inside of the sidewalk. An annual "Twirp” Dance tonight ends the week, according to the Minden Courier. • • • The Osceola business men are giving away trade certificates as a business-getting incentive during the Christmas season. The certificates are inside balloons which are released from the court house roof in the town square. Those who catch a balloon are en titled to spend the trade certificate wherever pleased in Ceresco and the Chamber of Commerce will pay the Ub. Osceola is also having a home decorating contest with prizes of $15, $10 and $5 being offered. • • • Aurora merchants staged "Ridiculous Days" last Friday and Saturday at which times they offered good, but unwanted mer chandise at ridiculously low prices. The idea was to clean up a lot of things before Christmas. Sandwiched in among the slow moving, low priced items were a number of other things which whetted considerable interest in the offerings. • • * A Wahoo man spared his neighborhood of a disagreeable odor one day last week when he discovered and killed a skunk without so much as arousing the animal. He was preparing to deposit some rubbish in a trash barrel when he discovered the skunk which had gotten into the barrel but could not get out. After considering the situation foe* taste, he procured a cup of carbon tetrachloride from his wife iho used ft as a cleaning fluid. Crawl ing on his hands and knees he approached the barrel and cautiously poured tb<* cup of carbon tet over the top of the barrel. He went back in ten minutes and found the skunk dead. The carbon tet produces deadly poisonous fumes which are heavier than air and therefore stayed in the barrel. Easing Mr. Skunk out of this world was just a matter of time.
