The average family paycheck is almost $6 less than the October, 1937, figure of $147.24, but monthly living ex- penses are down $6 also, from $143.49 as of a year ago. A month’s sup- ply of food cost $38.36 at October, 1937, prices, $3 more than the same items cost now. Statistically, the report points out, the coming winter should show many gains over figures for last winter, which reflected severe de- | pression conditions. | Long Idle English Land Producing Bountifully LONDON.—Thousands of acres of land in England which have lain idle for more than a hundred years are now producing some of the best flax and wheat in the country. Five years ago, J. W. Tomkins, with his brother and father, rented 5,500 acres of bracken covered land in the Peterborough district. With hard work and modern machinery they have succeeded in turning a wilderness into profitable fields and grazing land. “There are millions of such acres in England lying absolutely idle,” said Tomkins. ‘‘Anyone who cares to inspect them may see for him- self how England could be made much more nearly self-supporting and could find work for thousands of men.” Rule of Three Credited For Prosperity of Town HAPPY CAMP, CALIF.—This city insists it owes its present prosperity and happiness to the fact that it has always lived by the “rule of three.” It has three stage lines, three mer- chandise stores, three restaurants, ; three hotels, three wood yards, is in- stalling its third bar, has three | churches, and plans are under way | for three dress shops and three gift The only enterprises free { from competition are the bakery, { laundry and first-aid clinic.

INTERESTING BOOKLET ON INFANTILE PARALY- SIS IS PUBLISHED New York.—'l'elling the graphic sto- ry of men against the maiming death, the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis this week published a cam- paign booklet entitled: “Another Step Forward.” The booklet outlines in detail this year’s “Fight Infantile Paralysis” campaign and its objective—to raise funds to stamp out infantile paralysis. Written by Kieth Morgan, Chairman of the Committee for the celebration of the President’s Birthday, the bro- chure declares that the Four Horsemen of an American Apocalypse—Infan- tle Paralysis—are Fear, Panic, Death and Human Wreckage. Men of medicine, of science and of education have sworn to conquer these ruthless riders and the people of Am- erica have been called to mobilize the fight behind them, the booklet said. It pointed out that: “Volunteers often win battles but to win a war you must have a permanent army.” It further stated: “To guard our homes and save our children we must mobilize permanent- ly. Mobilization to be effective must be thorough, painstaking and above it all, complete.” The booklet states that the object- ives of the Trustees of the National Foundation are: “1.—To mobilize the Fight. “2 To make the Fight permanent. “3__To build a field force—the eyes and ears of the army—so that the men ; j tional Foundation. of medicine and education (the Board against Infantile Paralysis.” It is pointed out that creation of permanent chapters of the Foundation embracing all counties in the United States, is a sound and sensible method of organization, procedure, guidance, and financing. However, without mon- ey, behind leadership the chapters would be but field organizations on paper, the booklet states. The new permanent chapter plan is explained in detail together with the new 50-50 financial plan. Under this plan the proceeds of the campaign will be divided on a 50-50 basis. Fifty per cent will be sent to the Committee for the Celebration of the President's Birthday for presentation to the National Foundation. Fifty per cent will be retained by the County Chairman in trust for the National Foundation to be turned over to the new chapter when it is organized—at- ter January 30th. The booklet emphasizes: “Every real mother and father is anxious to help those afflicted by in- fantile paralysis—a dollar here— a dime there. But every real mother and father demands that the threat to their healthy boys and girls of this Grim Enemy be driven from the land. “They will join in raising urgently needed funds for this objective. They want action as fast as we can mobil- ize. > “The celebration of the President's Birthday is to raise ammunition for the fight to stamp out infantile paral- ysis and its horrors “It is non political—non-partisan. “Infantile paralysis threatens all of us. “Infantile paralysis produced the Na- “The National Foundation produces To Be Railroad Man DAYTON, OHIO.—Eigt » old Charles Jaynes, of Strategy) may have troops through | which to act whenever possible. | the Unified Fight to Defeat Infantile “4 To place in the United States a!
