Your bodj¥really needs food in the morning after an.eight to ten hour fast, reminds Ruth Buck, Extension foods and nutrition specialist at The Pennsylvania State University. Without food, you are likely to become tired, morkgng. And eating one-fourth of tle “ day’ s food at breakfast will reduce the temptation. to snack. If the traditional break- fast is not appealing, break tradition and make breakfast a sandwich or bowl of soup. Ice milk * on ready-to-eat cereal might also be appetizing.

But, say business analysts at The ‘Pennsylvania State University in a review of business con- ditions in the third quarter, the best news of all is that they show the area’s economy is definitely on the move. In July, unemployment amounted to 22.5 per cent of a very much enlarged work force. By September, the rate had dropped to no more than 8.7 per cent of a substantially smaller force. Use of electricity for in- dustrial purposes was sharply reduced for a while after the flood because of damage to the equipment of both suppliers and users. By September, industrial power sales were up once again to their pre-flood volume in the County, and scored their first month-to-month gain in the city of Wilkes-Barre. i The employment total is rising as manufacturing and ! other kinds of industries have added jobs. The manufacturing industries have not regained the job level they had during the first half of this year, but the job level in nonmanufacturing industries.has reached its high- est point in many years. Welcome as these develop- ments are, they cannot be in- terpreted either as a return to pre-flood economic conditions or as a healthy, broadly-based expansion of local business, say the Penn State analysts. Customary activities are gradually being resumed in the flooded areas and activities in the large part of the County that was not flooded can be assumed to be going on about as usual by this time. But three months after the disaster not all the debris has been cleared from the streets, there are still many emergency workers in the area, and it is not possible to separate the temporary from the usual in evaluating month-to-month economic developments. A good example is the change in the volume of bank debits. Ordinarily, a ' more-than- seasonal gain from one month | to the next in the dollar volume | of checkbook usage is a good sign that area business activity in general is brisk. That is certainly true in Luzerne County now, as aid money in large volume pours into the area and is circulated. On the average, during the third quarter, the monthly volume of debits to demand deposits in commercial banks was about 28 percent higher this year in Luzerne County than it was last year in the same quarter. If the figures don’t represent business as usual, they do show that the area is not being allowed to stagnate or to wrestle alone with its own: problems.
