A lot of peorle remember the story of the Sun- day school teacher who asked little Johnnie to tell the class what his father said every evening when the family sat down to dinner. “Go slow on the butter, kids! It's 40 cents a pound!” quoted little Johnnie. - The story was, and is, symbolic. When butter : reached 40 cents a pound, many years ago, it was following an upward curve. The sky was the limit, and butter was as high as the sky. But 40-cent butter is cheap today. Not many months ago it was bringing 60 cents. And good but- ter today can be bought for less than 40 cents a pound. Butter is merely one of hundreds of commaodi- ties that have touched new low limits for the post- war period.
