Also, plant expansion is said to be planned. Other business news indicates a general confidence that times are going to get better. Thoughtful economists con- tinue to point out that a “war prosperity” is an exceedingly dangerous thing—that industrial expansion to prepare for war buying simply paves the way for a terrific collapse in the future. But that doesn’t affect immediate profits. As a result of all this, reemployment has been going ahead. The unemployed total now is undoubtedly at its lowest level since 1931. And it is still going down. Comparison In Bridge Fares At the last meeting of the Columbia Bridge Commission, a retiring York County Commissicner made a motion to au- dit the bridge accounts, something he said that was nol done in the past eight years. Are we to infer that a concern whose receipts are $20,000 a month and over, does not audit its accounts at least an-| nually? No wonder the Public Utility Commission has not as yet insisted on a reduction in toll since the bridge was buill. On either of the two bridges at Harrisburg the toll is a nickel. At Clarks Ferry the fare is also a nickel, 3 for a dime or $1.25 per month and cross as often as you please. The PUC has just notified the bridge company to reduce the monthly fare to 50 cents and allow five trips on a 10 cent ticket in-! stead of three. AT COLUMBIA WE PAY 25 CENTS A TRIP whether we like it or not. Fire Gets The Jump Fire, the great destroyer, is getting the jump on us again. _ During the first nine months of last year total fire loss’ was about $216,000,000. months is estimated at almost $231,000,000, a rise of $18,- 000,000. That rise alone, disregarding the iotal, would pay for 9.000 homes costing $2,000 cach: give employment to 18,000 men at a wage of more than $80 per month, or build 1,8000 miles of highway at a cost of $10,000 per mile. In these totals of tragic, useless waste the thoughtful read- er will find a challenge and an opportunity. Early in October the nation Any man or woman who could see, read or hear, learned something of This vear, loss for the first nine observed Fire Prevention Week. the magnitude of our fire loss, of the conceried, 21-hour a day efforts being made to control it, and the simple rules and precautions that will prevent most fires, large or small.

Railroads were strung across barren wastes, settlers migra- | ted westward, men gambled with billions on the strength of a dream.
