D. Carnegie
Carl P. West of Decatur, Ga., relates an inci-
dent that he says was truly tragic, though
many might call it a minor happening. He j
tells of a stenogsapher with a record of 35 years
of faithful service who asked her boss why she
didn’t get a raise in salary" The younger girls
were getting raises regularly with very little
effort on their part. She Was producing twice
the work of any one of them, yet, no increasi
for her. Why?
T~ Her boss took the easiest way odt and said, “We can
get anyone off the street at $35 per week to do your work;
why pay you morel”
Thirty-firve yeats of faithful service and no one appre-
ciated her efforts, her knowledge of the work. Life for her
seemed unbearable.
Mr. West was a witness to this unfortunate incident and
his sympathy was all for the woman. A few days later he had
an urgent job which would have to b^ done completely over
and which it would seem would require a good two days’ of
time. He went to the above mentioned stenographer with his
problem and she suggested a way that would enable them to
get the work out within a couple of hours.
Upon completion of the work, he praised the stenag-
rapher not only for what she had done but for her service
to the company over the years. He pointed out that they
would have been lost without her help on this job.
He had no more than got hack into his office, when she
appeared. She said, “Mr. West, I wouldn’t take a thousand dol-
lars for what you said a few minutes ago.” Mr. West asked,
“Why?” Then added, “I didn’t say anything you didn’t de-
. serve.” ----*---——----—------
/
“But,” she said, “you gave me all the credit and you praised
Tme in front of my-boss..I know after what you said, that he will
not only think me worth more, hut he will feel that I am more
valuable than someone he could call in from the street. You
have given me a new lease on life—and I am so happy.”
Mr. West says that he was happier, too, for days after that.
Is there someone whose life you can-touch as easily, and
be happier because you do? Try it.

▼NDICATION8 NOW are that the
A Truman administration will at-
tempt to TIT shave retail prices one
way or another; (2) continue to sup-
port farm prices and at the same
time beat down the retail food prices
which show a tremendous spread be-
tween the fapn and the grocery,
shelves; (3) boost the lower pay
brackets up to 75 cents an hour; (4)
extract higher taxes from corpora-
tions and, generally speaking, seek to
restore a balano* between prices and
Incomes.
Just how this will be done lg not
yet clear, but the President is taking
the advice of his Council of Econ-
omic Advisers and the lridicattons
are that he also has held many con-
ferences with business isaders to
whom he has confidence here in
Washington during (he past weeks.
Although some large business
firms are running full page ads
in newspapers and magazines
declaring that further ' tax or
further controls would take away
all incentives for further expan-
sion, the council report to the
the members believed that busi-
ness profits were above the levels
necessary to furnish incentives
and funds for the expansion of
business and to promote the sus-
tained health of the economy.
For instance, with corporate profits
before taxes rising from 30 billion
dollars to about 34 billion dollars in
1948 and after taxes from 18 bil-
lion dollars in 1947 to 21 billion in
194&, there was plenty of Incentive
here for expansion. As a matter of
fact, the profits were so high, viz.,
five per cent on sales and 10 per cent
on net worth, the administration
likely figures that not only must
they take some of this proflt^ln high
taxes to put It into spending chan-
nels to Increase the purchasing pow-
er, but must take It also to prevent
an accumulation of Idle money.
Whether It is actually true that prof-
its are too high and there is danger
of idle money pools, is beyond the
question. The fact is that this Is the
way the finger points, according to
observers here.
The program suits labor, it
suits a majority of the farmers
and if retail prices are actually
shaved, it will suit a majority of
the. consumers in all
life. These observers

On the farm front a decline of
some 400 million dollars in farm net
Income is in the picture, although
gross, farm Income reached a new
high in 1048 of more than 355 bil-
lion dollars as compared to 34.7 bil-
lion dollars in 1047. The rub was
that faint expenses went up more to
a figure of 18.1 billion dollars com-
pared to 188 billion dollars to 1047.
In addition, the total farm asset fig-
ure Increased to about 130 billion
dollars at the end of 1048, an in-
crease of some eight billion dollars
for the year. Most of the Increase,
however, was due to Increased value
of farm real estate which reached a
new peak during the year.
This decline in net purchasing
power or Income of the farmers is
one reason why the government like-
ly will continue Its support price
program despite the fact that in
some powerful sources this Is being
called a “subsidy to buy votes.”
Farm economists disagree to-
tally with business and other
the farm price support program.
While some business economists
declare the program to support
farm prices and at the same time
try to reduce or control food
prices is “ridiculous,” the farm-
ers declare they are looking into
the big ■‘Uut at U»» horn In ex-
piaining why they favor farm
price supports, one farm leader
said:
“Like other producers, fanners us-
ually attempt to counterbalance
lower unit prices by increasing the
unit produced. Thus the net effect
of lowered support prices will be
simply to reduce farm income. It Is
even possible that failure to support
farm prices at high levels will cost
the treasury more than otherwise.
If no controls are Imposed, and
each farmer races to see how much
he can produce In order to keep up
his income despite the lower price,
then the bottom may indeed drop
out of farm prices. The public ex-
penditure such a condition would
necessitate might be far more than
that of an orderly adjustment at
present or high price supports.”
What the government is seek-
ln»4» do is to find a stable price
figure somewhere between the
floor farm price and the high re-
tail price at which to peg the
price of farm produce.

In those days funnies were really
funny.”

MO MATTER how outraged you
’ may feel ct the Injustice cf hav-
.ing your husband's temper turned on
you. it doesn’t help to lose your tem-
per, too. One is quite likely to dis-
cover before marriage whether or
not a man Is given to rage. Having
accepted this trait when you mar-
ried him you have no right to feel
sorry for yourself when something
sets it off.
Instead, make it your Job to dis-
cover the real source of his anger,
which may be far removed from the
Immediate cause of a flare-up. Lit-
tle by little as you learn about his
home background and the hurts he
may have suffered as a boy, or the
self-indulgence he was allowed, you
can find his vulnerable spots and
steer clear of them.
A rather simplified ——is
that of a friend of «■!», whose
husband would flatly refuse to
keep any engagement she might
make for the two of them. Na-
turally, she felt aggrieved at
this lack of oooperaUon to mak-
ing their eoelal life ptariaat and
this led to many quarrels. Even j-
ually, however, aka dteeovered
that her husband had been made

When the wife finally realised that needs to walk off his anger.
her husband’s unwillingness to have
his evenings planned for him was an
instinctive defense against being
dominated, and was not surliness to-
ward her, she made up her mind not
to grange for any ar ms time. TMi
invent excuses to a disappointed
hostess.
Now you are probably sayin?, "“But
why should I have to accept another
person’s weakness?” For the sake of
sparing.,your children, so far as pos-
^jie, those unhappy hours when the
air is full of tension and threats of
violence which they don't under-
hand. But even more for the sake
of helping your husband learn to
control his temper, just as he may
be helping you outgrow childish fears
or some other Infantile trait.
Another responsibility of yours
Is to try to avoid having the pat-
tern of anoontreOabto temper re-
peated in a child. A child in a
true rage (not one that Is faked
to get his own way about some-
thing) foals riek and hel pleas.
Help him to that anger is
nnrmel not etoful eud that, If
he tries, it ean he controlled. Al-

It helps, too, to give a child ham-
leas ways of venting his anger—such
as jumping up and down and yell-
ing. He will outgrow the need for a
noisy outlet, but even an adult often
up on the child's physical condition,
too, and be sure there are plenty of
the B vitamins in his diet for main-
taining sound nerves.
