A Big Boost For Smitty!
'zMm.
Stepped into Smith’s Depart-
ment Store the other noon and saw
.the strangest thing. “Sis” Davis
was coming up the stairs from the
basement with a bundle of wash.
“Is Smitty taking in washing
these days?” I asked. “Not quite,”
she says. “He’s just put in a new
automatic washing machine, so
the girls who work here can get
their laundry done while they’re
eating lunch. Means more time to
.relax at night and on weekends.”
I thought what a swell boss
Smitty mast be. Human relations
between the boss and employees
have certainly taken a big step
forward during my lifetime.
From where I sit, people seem
to ba doing a better job of seeing
our neighbor’s viewpoint these
days. Though his ideas and tastes
may not be ours, we can under-
stand his preference foi a certain
breakfast cereal, a favorite movie
star, or for a temperate glass
of beer or ale. That’s the way it
should be in a free country.

Shriners To Have
Initiation In Palo
Duro State Park
Khiva Temple, Nobles of the
Mystic Shrine, has completed plans
for its outdoor ceremonial to be
held in Palo Duro State Park at
2 o’clock Sept. 3. The event is
expected to be most colorful and
dramatic.
Shriners and their families will
be guests of the Temple and the
park management for the occasion
and admission will be paid for-
them and soft drinks will be serv-
ed the Nobles and their guests at
the Shrine refreshment booths.
Khiva Temple’s uniformed units
who made such a hit at the Im-
perial Council session in Chicago
will march onto Mesa Mecca from
the Canyon rim and will execute
various drill maneuvers. One of
these drills will see more than
100 members of the gaily dressed
uniformed bodies forming a color-
ed cresent scimiter and emblem
of the order.
One thousand red-fezzed Shrin-
ers will be needed to help form
the colorful background for the
initiation of the novices into the
order. The initiation will be no
order. The initiation will be
viewed from the rim of the con-
yon. There will be no second sec-
tions. Visitors may it or stand
at thousands of vantage points
along the rim of the canyon.
These places have been cleared
for the occasion.
This is expected to be a field
day for movie, color camera and
camera fans and special consider-
ation will be shown them. The
public is invited to the park.

So that nails and screws can be
found easily, put spare ones in
glass jars.

Former Habits
In Dollar Use
CHICAGO, ILL — Consumers
changed their spending and saving
habits last year after four years
in the same groove. Maybe you
hadn’t noticed. But Margaret Reid,
University of Illinois economist,
did in looking over a survey of con-
sumer finances sponsored by the
federal reserve board.
She also found the rich and poor
were richer while the inbetweens
had relatively less wealth than be-
fore the war. Furthermore, she says,
in recent years the rich are saving
more, but while the poor have
relatively more money wealth, they
are cutting deeper into their sav-
ings.
The middle .groups are just about
holding their own in the percentage
of net savings. )
“For the first time since 1944,”
the economist notes in the univer-
sity’s Business Review, “the per-,
centage of income spent last year
declined as compared with the pre-
ceding year, and the percentage
saved rose correspondingly.”
Boom May Be Over
TJiis may signal the end of the
special postwar spending boom,
she says, but she finds that expen-
ditures “are not far from what
might be expected on the basis of
prewar experience.”
Prof. Reid describes what has
been happening in this way:
Spending began to lag behind
Income last year, increasing less
than the given rise in income. This,
was similar to the pattern of the
prewar years. Consumers put
away about 7 per cent of personal
disposable income in 1948. This is
higher than most prosperous years
before the war, but still is a third
below the 10.6 per cent saved in
1941.
In prewar years spending and
income fluctuated closely together.
Drops in income were accompa-
nied by smaller drops in expendi-
tures and rises in income by small-
er rises in expenditures. The two
always moved in the same direc-
tion.
Spending Trailed Income
But during the war years there
was an ever widening gap between
income and spending. Production
for civilians fell off and retail
shelves took on a bare look. The
armed forces expanded and there
was an increased pressure to buy
war bonds.
All these worked together to
push civilian spending farther and
farther behind the rise in income.
Then, with the end of the war,'
production for civilians increased
and spending rose even more
sharply than income. In other
words, many people dipped into
their savings. This was especially
true from 1945 through 1947. De-
mobilization and the high birth rate
added a demand for men’s cloth-
ing, house furnishings and many
other goods to the large demand
backlog for durable goods whicb
civilians already had built up.
Visual Training
Many visual problems not sus-
ceptible to correction by lenses are
being treated today by visual train-
ing-scientific exercises of the eyes
and the muscles and perves used
in seeing.
