EDITORIAL
When the cost of living was high we could at least make
a living.
One of many people's weaknesses today is that they are
entertained too inexpensively by radio—they really don’t ap-
preciate what they get.
.
Late Business Outlook
Late business news is not greatly significant. The produc-
tion indices are changing within very narrow limits, and
there has been no definite influence either up or down.
Considerable new corporate financing is in prospect when
the situation brightens a bit. And ths low state of inventories
in many lines is a cause for optimism as to production dur-
ing the balance of this year.
. .
Farm Marketing Going Places
They're getting together “down on the farm.”
The get-together in question involes the fast-growing agri-
cultural marketing cooperative movement—the most signi-
ficant in the farm history of our time.
Already the movement has improved prices in many in-
broadened and stabilized markets, dealth with all
ol problems affecting agriculture, and served the
consumer by helping assure him of a constant supply of
first-class farm products at a fair price.
Those who have watched the movement have been little
short of amazed by its achievements in a few brief vears.
And it is going places faster all the time.

A Blessing To Many
When Governor James, with a few strokes of the pen,
signed the anti-fireworks bill Monday, he prevented children
in the future from walking with crutches, being blinded,
and some who would die will continue to live.
Last year’s Fourth of July toll in Pennsylvania—cight
dead, 10 blinded and nearby 1700 others injured, many of
them for life—stirred voters, legislators, senators and even
the Governor himself, the only opposition being fireworks
ManuiacfMrs and their legislator friends.
All fireworks except paper-cap pistols are outlawed in this
state.
Railroads Breaking Records
Although the railroads the United States have been
steadily increasing passenger and freight train speeds in a
phenomenal manner, they established their best general
safety record in fifty years in 1938, according to figures
just announced by the Association of American Railroads.
The number of train accidents, as compared with the
number of miles run by trains, was the lowest on record in
1938—one-third less than in 1937, and two-thirds less than
in 1929. «
The accident record for employes on duty, all causes, was
the lowest in fifty years, totaling 179 in 1938, compared with
666 in 1937 and 1,318 in 1929. The number of such fatali-
ties was a reduction of 28.1 per cent compared with 1937 and
61.5 per cent compared with 1929. Compared with the num-
ber of man-hours worked, the reductions were 13.5 per cent
and 31.6 per cent, respectively. Non-fatal injuries to em-
ployes were reduced proportionately for same periods, in
numbers and frequency.
Passenger fatalities from train accidents totaled 52 in 1938
compared with 3 in 1937. Of the total, 50 resulted from one
accident for which a cloudburst was responsible; eight pas-
sengers were killed in a collision resulting from man failure;
injured in train-iruck highway grade
of
three were fatally
crossing collision, and one from a collision of two passenger
trains.
Small Potatoes Right Now
What has happened to much-ballyhooed
that was supposed to be gaining momentum in Congress a
month or two ago? Late news from Washington indicates
that the urge to spend is still dominant—and that the urge
to retrench and eliminate some of the waste in government
“economy drive”
is pretty small potatoes right now.
Worst of all is the apparent public indifference toward
spending. It wasn’t so long ago that the nation was genuine-
ly aghast when a congress appropriated two billion dollars.
Now congresses appropriate eight or ten billion, blandly ob-
livious of where the money is to come from, and we take it
for granted. Spending is like the narcotic habit—the more it
is indulged in, the more the habit grows.
However, the American people won't be able to continue
this indifference indefinitely. The problem of financing the
deficit becomes steadily more difficult. So “much our
money has gone into government bonds, that the ordinary |
sources of productive capital have steadily dried up. More
money for government means that there is less and less
money for industry and commerce. And industrial paralysis |
is the inevitable result.

Mount Joy To
Be Saluted
(From page 1)
Cook’s program is made up of a
little bit of everything calculated to
make an early-riser’s day get off to
a cheerier start.
The Dawn Breakers open the 45-
minute program by singing Cook's
familiar theme song. Later, they
blend their sopranos and baritones
in three songs, selected especially,
for “Almanac” Sing Time. Stark
then discusses topics of today with
the various Cook characters, among
whom are Office Boy Pete; Sleepy
Simpson, the porter; Tony, the boot-
black; and one of the most import-
ant characters, Poptime. It is this
character, Poptime, who keeps a
mythical big book of facts on all
the important dates of history.
Poptime also operates a protruras-
cope, another hypothetical invent-
ion of Cook’s frugal mind which
enables its operator to look into the
homes of all who listen to the pro-
gram.
A versatile performer, Cook spices
the dialogue with a dozen or more
of his own tunes, to which he is
continually setting new lyrics. Old,
and interesting almanac items are
dug up to be commented on, and
listeners’ questions answered
with material furnished by Stan-
ford M. Mirkin, Head of the
Almanac’s Research Departmment.
To enable the farmers in his
audience to know when to hustle
their hay, and office-worker
listeners to tell beforehand whether
they'll need umbrellas and over-
shoes before their return home in
the evening, Charles Stark gives
weather information during the
morning “Almanacs.” The announ-

industry can offer no jobs for the millions on relief.

A "Preview
Of Sloan's
Pharmacy
A few days ago the
“pre-view” of Sloan's
new pharmacy in Theatre
building on East Main St., which
is owned and under the direct man-
agement of G. Walter Sloan.
A more delightful and inviting
interior cannot be found. The
woodwork, cabinets and counters
are of maple. The soda fountain
and booth tables are in straw
color trimmed in blue with the
same color scheme used in the lin-
nleum. The fountain stools are
chromium with" blue leather seats.
Fountain appointments are in
chromium and include one of the
very new Nu-whip devices for
making whipped cream for sun-
daes.
The walls are very light straw
color giving the impression of
continuous sunlight.
Two large display windows, one
featuring graduation gifts, the
other prescriptions, are immediate-
ly inside the entrance. To the
right, as you enter is a straw
colored cabinet containing greet-
ing cards and all along the walls
are the display cabinets of toilet-

In the center and to the rear
are three booths and more display
racks in modernistic design.
To the left is a service counter
and the very modern soda fountain

«ade are three more booths. A

Dircetly in tae rea:
is the prescription department,
where doctor's prescriptions will
be filled by expert pharmacists.
Mr. Sloan will feature a full
line of baby gifts and supplies as
well as graduation gift sugges+
tions, toiletries and remedies.
On Thursday evening, from 7:00
of the store
to 10:00 Dolly Madison, resplen-
dent in Colonial costume,
welcome new friends at an ice
cream party. This is your invita-
tion to “drop-in” and get ac-

“Welcome” to our midst Mr.
