MEMBER OF ASSOCIATED PRESS cinted Press s exclusively entitled to the use for 1l news dispatches credited to it or not other- paper and also the local news published NOBLE UNDERTAKING Contrary to the old maxim, there often is some- thing new under the sun. Witness: A magazine that sells for $30 a single issue. When news of it first came to use, we assumed it must be a Chinese Esquire, with the price quoted in devalued currency. | But, on the contrary, this is a solid (and we do mean solid—because it weighs six pounds) American magazine and the $30 is in American currency of the | current valuation. Promoted by B. F. Forbes and his son, the new | publishing venture will make its appearance six times a year. The name of the magazine is Heritage, and the title gives something of a clue to its literary and pictorial contents. Mr. Forbes, a magezine publisher and business writer of some ex- perience, figures there should be a limited but sub- stantial demand for a superlative quality magazine for use in schools, libraries, corporation reading rooms and the like. American Heritage evidently aspires to do cul- turally a job similar to that which Fortune has done American | 'in business and industry. The new magazing wilt| carry no advertising—hence it must rely upon its| subscription revenue. In the parlance, it sounds like a good trick if they can do it. STATEHOOD BIiLL Delegate E. L. Bartlett has again introduced the | statehood for Alaska bill in Congress, the measure | going into the hopper of both the Senate and House. Appearing before the Senate Interior Committee, the Delegate boostd his case by stating Alaska has long been discriminated against in favor of the Government | to treat it as other Territories and that Congress has been unfair in enacting legislation which has injured the Territory. | In conclusion the Delegate said: “Alaskans decided statehood is the only answer to these discriminations.” . | Employment and 1949 | (Cincinnati Enquirer) | While there has been some recessio ment, many authorities say the situation is not yet indicative of an important decline in the number of | yainfully employed.

Cutthroat competition for we also is on the wane—and that too will have a bene- ficial effect on our entire industrial structure. i In general, the outlook is encouraging—encour: for management. We can hove that industry, wi |the coming months, will arrive at a state of balance in which prices, supply. employment and profits will assume the more normal levels which go with true and satisfactory prosper ST QR % S8 A lot of propaganda is being disseminated to the general effect that it's a sin for business to make a profit. It should be pointed out that another way of killing the goose that lays the golden egg is to starve her to death. | A family can live on a budget if 30 per cent is added for unexpected expenses and an additional 10 per cnt for money that disappears without leaving a trace.
