The Red Cross entertainment in
the school auditorium Monday eve-
ning under the auspices of Mixa Lu-
cille Duffy was classy and clean. The
announcements of the different selec-
tions were made by little tots coming
on the stage each time bearing a card
announcing the number. First on the
program was a chorus, Albert Wads-
worth Jr of Bay City leading in his
splendid voice with “You May Not
Be An Angel,” his mother accom-
panying him on the piano. The chorus
girls, Mrs. Joe Patterson, Misses Ger-
aldyne Ryman, Trude Ann Duffy,
Elizabeth Inglehart and Loree Price

with the music and joined in the
chorus of the song Then "Ann Drives
A Car" was well presented by three
good amateurs Mrs. C. P. Laugh-
ter, Miss Loree Price and Mr. Lloyd
Mason. They kept the audience high-
ly amused throughout the skit A
reading by Miss Tolliver of Wharton
was ridiculous, highly entertianing
and well presented. A second solo by
Mr Wadsworth charmed his hearers
and they encored him lustily. The last
Was "Too Much Matrimony” which
little play was also fine from start
to finish, the general mix-up keeping
the audience convulsed with laugh-
ter until the curtain went down The
cast in this Miss Trude Ann Duffy,
Miss Geraldyne Ryman Miss Vivian
Klingman, Amos Edward Duffy,
John Cooper. Miss Duffy deserves
much praise for her skillful handling
of this affair and her selection of
amateurs and there should have been
a much larger audience considering
the cause for which the entertain-
ment was presented.

REAL VALUES
J. C. PENNEY CO.
One definite result of the apparent
continuous swing toward the “left"
in the administration is a further
tightening up of private credit. Indi-
viduals and institutions with free cap-
tal are investing only in government
bonds or other low-interest sound
securities refusing to risk their capi-
tal in business or constructive en-
terprises until they get better assur-
ances that they will be given a chance
to make a profit by its use. The trend
in the opposite direction which the
government has been trying to stim-
ulate by its home financing plan un-
is still going to have a chance to grow der the housing act has not yet set in.

are saying, quite openly, that all
the signs indicate that Mr. Roosevelt
is rapidly veering toward the "left.”
That is to say, the feeling here is that
policies which are regarded as “radi-
cal’ have definitely won out over
the more conservative courses which
business men and industrialists have
been hoping he would adopt.
Just how much basis there is for
such a conclusion depends a good
deal, of course, on definitions. There
are lots of people who slap the label
"radical" or "revolutionary" on any-
thing they don’t agree with. But what
is behind this growing impression of
presidential radicalism is not only the
recent nationalization of silver, with
its inflationary implications, but some
of the things the president said in his
of the situation, however, is that the
administration is up against condi-
tions which were not foreseen and
which seem likely to result in a con-
siderable readjustment of programs,
if not of policies.
It must always be remembered that
Mr. Roosevelt has consistently said
that he didn't know whether any of
his projects would work, but that he
was going to try them, anyway, and
if they failed, scrap them and try-
something else.
To Revise N. R. A.
It seems now to be reasonably clear
that NRA is headed for the scrap-
heap ,at least the more onerous pro-
visions of that complicated structure.
General Johnson is definitely on his
way out.
Business men and industrialists like
the idea of having government sup-
port for trade association agreements,
and will welcome a chance to con-
tinue, in the major industries, along
the lines laid down in NRA. They are
beginning to get a bit nervous, how-
ever, over the apparent disagreement
between the president and General
Johnson in the matter of price fix-
ing. The general's idea, which was the
theory at the base of the recovery act,
is that prices should go up, in order
that business may make profits and
so pay better wages and hire more
workers.
The president, it is understood, has
come to the point of fearing rising
prices may react unfavorably upon
the administration, particularly in
foodstuffs and other things consum-
ed by city folks. And there seems to
be no escaping the certainty that
such prices are on the way up.
The AAA, on the other hand is bent
upon getting better prices for farm
products; but since nature took a hand
flation, however, it is not a very long
step.
Many conservative members of the
administration think that real infla-
tion is an inevitable next step, and
they are advising people to put their
funds into commodities and tangibles,
certain that dollar values for such
things will go many times higher
shortly. And the pressure from the
great mass of debtors for cheaper
money is increasing rather than dim-
inishing.

Cobb No. 2 has been drilled to a
