of course, to foreign demand. It is a comparatively
matter for the auto makers to change over plants and gear
them to plane production. 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

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.

Railroads were strung across barren wastes, settlers migra-
| ted westward, men gambled with billions on the strength of
a dream. They dreamed that the country they were building
| would some day become the greatest nation on earth. It was
the American dream, and il came true.
iF A silent partner in that achievement was the local bank.
| Every undertaking of any size must have the aid of an es-
{ tablished banking house. Not a railroad could have been
{built, not a community founded, had not the banks first
i blazed a financial trail.
| Accompanying the rapid progress which has taken place
in this country. there have been failures, industrial, individ-
tual, civic. They were inevitable. For where there is utter
{ safety there is no progress.
The banking system reflects the temper and character of
the people and the nation they build. In the early days, the
banks in some measure had to take chances the same as the
