HEADED FOR A PRICE COLLAPSE Something of a warning comes from Leon Henderson, former chief of the Of- fice of Price Administration, who says that the United States is headed for a price collapse vivaling the 1920-21 slump unless consumer buying power is jacked up. Mr. Henderson believes that “prices have been permitted to get out of hand with the rusult that buying power has been cut to the danger point.’ If anybody is inclined to be worried by what Mr. Henderson says, there is com- fort to be received from Senator Robert Taft, of Ohio. Mr. Taft points out that “everybody has more money than ever before” and that the nation has “a perfect- ly tremendous economy.” The reader is entitled to take his choice between the conflicting opinions. As for us, we are inclined to string along with Mr. Hederson upon the general theory that what goes up must come down. The present inflationary movement, which is apparent all over the nation and in many lines of economic activity, may fool some of the people, including eco- nomic experts, financial advisers and in- dustrial executives. Nevertheless, it will come to an end, although’ no prophet can tell the day or the year. THE Wo! WORLD CAN BE FED There are many people who wonder if it) will be possible, at any time in the fu- ture, for the world to raise sufficient food to give one billion under-fed persons a minimum health diet. * About the best answer that we know of comes from Sir John Boyd Orr, Director- General of the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization, who points out that in our colonial days the colonists “more than once knew starvation” but that this year we are producing 1,440,- 000,000 bushels of wheat alone. Answering his awn question as to how this came about, the British expert point- ed out that it is the result of the applica- tion of modern science to the production of food by American farmers. He then point- ed out that there are hundreds of millions of farmers in many parts of the world still using methods and equipment more primi- tive than those of the American colonists. — Love makes the world go round, we and, if necessary. suppose, but there are wives who take a keen interest in their husband’s incomes, |confront landlords, we are also conscious | lof the problems of those who try to rear | to families with children. _SIMPLE LIVING Back in the old days in Key West, when the pergentage of elderly persons was far more than it is now, we often | heard a story about old folks in Harbor Island, in the Bahamas, who had to be rounded up every year or so and shot, otherwise they would never die. Of course, the story was related jok- ingly, but it was a faet nonetheless that Harbor Island, small as was its pepulation, had an unusually large number of old people. We heard one of them say, when visiting in Key West, that many lived be- yond the Biblical three score and ten years because they led simple lives. In Key West, when it was isolated, with but one regular steamship a week con- necting it with the mainland, the simple life was adhered to by a vast majority of residents, some of whom were older than 80 years and a few were nonagenarians. | This week newspapers carried two stories about elderly men, one of whom was 106 and reported to be still “going strong,’ and another 92, who had won a waltzing contest when he was 90, and now still reads without spectacles and has most of his natural teeth. In both cases long life was assigned to simple living, the chief factor in which is sufficient sleep to give the heart a chance to rest, that is, to pump much slow- er than when one is awake and active. We have read medical accounts in which it was said that ancestry has some- thing to do with long life, but that the main factors of longevity are eating whole- some foods regularly, and getting at least eight hours’ rest out of 24. It was pointed out that over-eating develops ills as well as under-eating. One must decide for him- self what he considers a balanced diet. But, above everything else, to live long one must live simply. The time to increase buying power is when people have no money, ‘ock 11:00—Lreak ast in Holley wood A “sinner” is an individual whose con- duct is disapproved by a self-appointed “saint.” YOU CAN REST AT HOME There is just a chance that a vacation spent at home, may do you more good than a rush trip'to some crowded resort. We have observed the common ten- dency of holiday seekers to return home from their annual vacation wearier than when they left. The rush and. turmoil of many vacation schedules prevent a work- er from getting a rest. This he can get by loafing at home. This is especially true if the tired busi- ness man takes with him the worries and perplexies of his work or has to concern himself with the money to pay the bills which are piling up at home. Somehow, we have gotten the idea in Monroe coun- ty that a vacation cannot be a vacation without spending a lot of money on a trip away from home. We have lost sight of the primary purpose of annual holidays which were designed and intended to giye the body and mind a period of rest and relaxation from the strain of the working life. Beware of people who are always do- ing something for your good. It’s funny how fat people, who eat too much, wonder what makes them stout. HOUSES FOR CHILDREN Here is an interesting item of news from Sallisaw, Oklahoma, where G. Sisemore, described as the municipality’s largest landlord, s that he will rent to no one without children in the future and will make one month’s rent free to any family having a baby while living in one of his houses. r F This ought to interest some landlords | who are averse to renting their property to families with children. As Mr. Sisemore asks, “What do they want to do with chil- dren; hang them on trees?” It is easy to understand the attitude of some landlords, because children have a way of increasing the cost of upkeep. Being in the business for the money they collect from rent, the landlords find it practical to pent their homes and apart- | ments to childless couples, While appreciating the problems that | children.

Well, Apparently That Is What the Public Wants Dozens of competent surveys show increasing preference for electric equipment in the home. One survey indiceted that two hundred and seventy per cent as many more families want an electric range as now own one. When asked why they preferred electric appliances, “Cleanliness”, “Safety” and “Dependability” were cited. There were 5,000 electric refrigerators in use in 19) By 1941 there were 19,000,000. There were 500,000 electric ranges im use by 1931. In 194] the figure stood at 3,500,000. The electric power used by the average domestic customer has mul tiplied more than five times in 30 years.
