Several from this commun-
ity attended the Christmas pro-
Adturtiument
nom where I sit... Joes Marsh;
Yes Sir,
Insomnia's Contagious!
When Bud Swanson had trouble
sleeping nights, and tried to get
over it by turning up the radio full
blast, he started an epidemic of
insomnia all down the block!
Folks finally dropped a Mnt to
Bud that he close the windows or
turn the radio a little lower. Bud
did—and that was the quickest
cure for other folks’ insomnia I’ve
•rifer heard of!
4 Not that any of us object to the
radio, or swing bands, or anything
else that helps another person re-
lax of an evening. (Myself, I like
a glass of beer with a bit of cheese
before I go to bed. I can’t speak
for you.)
From where I sit, good neighbor-
liness means nothing more than
simply respecting the other per-
son’s tastes and rights—without
forcing your own tasites or opinions
down his throat. And that goes for
Bud’s radio, my glans of beer, or
whatever temperate pleasure you
happen to enjoy.

A&P Sees Lower
Food Costs in ’49
America’s farms and factor-
ies will produce as much food
in 1949 as they did during the
record production year of 1948,
and consumers will probably
pay less for it, according to the
prediction of John A. Hartford,
president of the A&P food
stores.
“Food prices reached their
peak in July of 1948 and have
declined steadily since then,”
Mr. Hartford said. “In the
case of our own prices, for ex-
ample, conservative estimates
indicate that butter is down
on an average of 24 per cent
from the year’s high, meat and
eggs are down 17 per cent,
cheese 13 per cent, flour 15
per cent, lard 29 per cent and
produce 10 per cent.”
Mr. Hartford cited two ma-
jor deflationary factors in the
food price picture: continued
high production and “soft”
markets;; fewer consumer food
dollars and greater competition
for them.
He predicted even lower price
levels provided labor and trans-
portation, which constitute a
large part of the retail food
price, do not “get out of
hand.”
