Steel Business Gaining Here is good news, Prosperity is returni Steet mills in Oc tober produced 1,616,810 to ingots. That compares with 1, . 740 tons in September and 803,- 376 tons in July, when steel in- dustry hit bottom of stagnation and began fighti its way to the surface, October output more than twice as big as July! These figures are from the American Iron & Steel Institute, and cover total output of mills that produce 8&5 per cent of all steel ingots made in America. The long swing upward in gen- eral busiress recovery is unques- tionably under way. Think of the gain in steel pro- duction, when you sit down to Thanksgiving dinner, It will whet your appetite.

Dear Folks; I really do not know what you may think on seeing snow; it only makes you cuss be ¢ it’s such a sloppy muss; per you think about the dough it costs to make the furnace go. But as for me, I'm here to say, It takes a lot of.gloom away; 1 think it’s such @ cheery wight to see the ields of snowy white, it takes the rs and lets them skid, and once again I'm just a kid, And in my heart again T know the childhood joy of seeing snow; again I feel the olden thrill of going coasting down the hill; memory recalls the throwing balls So when I see a chesty guy go nonchalantly marching by, I want to make a ball of snow, as in the days of long ago, and try to hit the «ink a crack about the middle of the back And when the sleds go coasting by, I always have to haye a try; the kids all think it's fun to see an anti quated guy like me go sliding swiftly down the hill, and strike a bump and take a spill, So when we have a snowy day, let's brush our many years away, and feel the thrill we used to know in golden days of long ago, and let's forget that we are men, and just be happy kids again!
