For many years, there was no possibil- ity of receiving advance information as to the whereabouts of a West Indian hurri- cane. Before the radio, it was. not possible for ships, caught in the orm, to give warning to the mainland, Now, thanks to the wireless, to fast-flying planes and to a widespread network of weather bureaus, it is rather unusual for a storm of such Proportions to catch anybody unawares. We also call attention to the prevail- ing thought of a century or so ago, when such visitations were considered an indi- cation of the wrath of God. Today, thanks to the enlightenment of science, there are few people left with so much guperstition as to believe that the event of a storm is a sign of the Almighty’s displeasure. Human nature is #0 constituted that the more one gets, the more one wants. However, the more one gets the'more the income tax collector gets, and the more the government spends. PREDICTS 1948 RECESSION A recession lasting some months is predicted for 1948, by Jacob Baker, for- mer adviser to the Federal government and now giving counsel to private indus- tries and to the New England Council, The economist says that prices will continue to increase until near the end of this year when consumers will be unable to pay them. Consequently, a break is pre- dieted sometime around the beginning of 1948, to begin in the soft goods industry, and to be followed by. the more durable goods and, finally, by food. In the opinion of Mr. Baker, the re- cession gvill last five to seven months but will not be very severe. “Farm prices will not begin to fall at all until about March or June, 1948.” Shortly ' after the new year, he believes “‘about 500,000 persons” will be dropped from payrolls each month, Despite his prediction of a recession, the economist believes that recovery will be rather quick becauge taxes will prob- ably be reduced, which would inerease. buying power and because the shortage of durable goods will still xist and there is some prospect of a building boom. $:45—Kaltenborn Comment—nbe-west Bob Trout and News—ebs Sports (Repea m. later)—mbs 7:00—Col, Flack, Sketch—nbe Suspense M ‘y Drama—cbs High Adv Drama -—mbs-b: 8:00—Music Hall, Dick Hayme: Gabriel Heatt 8:18—Real Life Dr mbs. —nbe-basie cbs The Man Called X—chs Dance Rand Show—mbs ABC PROGRAMS — Times fit either Eastern Daylight or Eastern Standard, $:00—Network Silent—1 Hour east Kiddies Hour—wost repeat 00—News and Commentary iy Commentary ize of Yukon a 00—\\ Piper ch pee Frosidont, Draina F rogram of Music 10:30—The Hoosier Hop 40:45—Earl Godwin Comment 11:00—Nev B This a week fc » pul nsecutive weeks in The Key t Citizen, i paper published in Key Florida.
