BUSINESS OUTLOOK IS FOR MOST
PROSPEROUS CHRISTMAS EVER
\ I
(The following article is from
the Chamber of Commerce of the
United States.)
Times are booming. People are
earning more than ever before in
America’s history. Almost every
body who can work has a job.
And it looks lifye a real business-
boom, not just a defense-spend
ing boom. For defense spending
is below expectations.
1 The big question, of course, is
how long will prosperity last. Are
we about to plunge into another
depression? A good many econo
mists, including those in the Cham
ber of Commerce of the United
States, look for prosperity to last
through next year, unless there
are major developments in foreign
affairs, particularly Koea. Even
then, no major recession looms.
On the other hand there are some
who argue the boom can’t last.
That we’re in fo arnother “bust.”
U. S. Chamber of Commerce
economists take a different view.
They believe that depressions are
not inevitable; that both business
and government have learned a
lot since the thirties about licking
the boom and bust fiascos. They
have learned counter measures.
They are less likely to be caught
napping if business begins to drop.
Government, naturally, is a ma
jor force in resisting depressions.
By purchasing its own bonds from
the public it can pour money into
circulation. Through loans, or the
guarantee , of loans, government
can make it easier for business to
borrow money for woi’king capital
or investment in new plants and
equipment. Or. by means of its
controls over banks,, government
can reduce reserve rquirements so
that banks can loan with more
freedom. Experience during the
last depression has shown how
these controls can be used more
effectively. ^
New factors are the Securities
and Exchange Commission and the
Federal Deposit Insurance Corpo-
poration. With its controls over
market speculations, SEC can pre
vent one of the evils leading to
the last depression. And citizens’
bank savings now are insured up
to $10,000 by FDIC.
Also new since the early thirties
are the govenment old-age and
unemployment insurance systemjs,
‘providing a backlog of security
against loss of income due to age
—or unemployment. And- of- course,
many business and industrial firms
have begun pension plans since the
thirties, providing additional in
surance against hard times.
Finally, there is a brighter out
look for trade, another important
item in the prosperity picture.
For its part, business is better
prepared for a depression than it
was back in ’29. It has learned
much about management. And it
has a far bigger, more versatile
research plant for the creation of
new products when the sale of
products already on the market
begins to crop. Products whicn
meet basic needs resist depression.
This is not speculation. Refriger
ator, electric washing machine and
radio sales, for example, held up
well during the bleakest days of
the thirties.
Today, rfiany, many new prod
ucts are on the drawing boards
or ready for market. A refrigrator
which makes up to 300 ice cubes
per day without trays is on its
way to the customers. A big choco-
4.
late firm has just introduced a
versatile cookie mix which can be
used for dozens of different cook
ies. A St. Paul firm is developing
magnetic tape which will record
television programs the way radio
programs now are recorded. Taped
television would be clearer than
filmed and much cheaper since
tape can be erased and re-used.
These new products mean new
jobs, and new jobs mean continued
prosperity.
Further, business has a new
: sense of responsibility. Tt is less
! likely to begin major lay-offs and
1 wage reductions in the face of a
little adversity. Less likely to pan
ic. It is far more likely to look
around for new ways to maintain
production than to sit and do noth-
ing. i
This isn’t speculation either.
During recent years several indi
vidual industries have gone
through a kind of recession and are
starting to pull out. Textiles is
one. Paper is another. The jew-
| elry buisness was in trouble in
! 1946 and 1947 and made the nec
essary adjustments each time.
Another example of forward-
looking management is the auto
industry’s campaign to promote
good roads. You might think that
auto makers prefer bad roads
which ruin autos, so that new cars
could be sold more readily. But
the automobile and allied indus
tries believe the money motor
ists would save because of better
driving conditions would go into
pew fields, new industries. Thus
new markets are created.
Finally, there are new develop
ments in foreign trade. Here too,
business has looked ahead. Since
the last war, Europe has been a
poor customer. So American busi-
nes is investing its dollars in Can
ada and Latin America where re-
souces still are unlimited.
These are the reasons why the
Chamber of Commerce of the
United States, looks for lasting
prosperity. We have the govern
ment and private pension plans,
the unemployment insurance to
cushion against recession. We have
the vast resources developed by
science. The new, more fore-
sighted, more confident manage
ment which has developed over
the years. And we have been de
veloping new ■ and richer foreign
markets.

By CECILY BROWNSTONE, As
sociated Press Food Editor
When it comes to stuffing and
roasting your Christmas turkey,
there are several points tp re
member. First and foremost, get
rid of any temptation to stuff your
bird the night before and ahead of
time and put it in the refigerator
or freezer. Latest and extensive
studies have shown that this is not
a safe practice, because harmful
bacterial contamination may result
as well as deterioration of flavor,
taste and appearance. Home econ
omists and technologists of the
United States Department of Ag
riculture were among the experts
who made these studies.
It’s important to truss a turkey
correctly. Just tie the drumstick
securely to the tail. Place the
wings akimbo style, bringing the
tips into the back. Rub the turkey
skin well with soft fat before it
goes into the oven.
You'll find it helps to place the
turkey in a deep bowl when you
are spooning the stuffing into the
body cavity. Shake the bird light
ly to settle the dressing but don’t
pack i^ in. Place skewers across
the opening and lace shut with
cord. Then place stuffing in neck
cavity and skewer neck skin to
back. Roast your turkey in a slow
(325 degees F.)' oven until the
drumstick moves up and down
easily.
Here’s a plain old-fashioned
bread stuffing the whole family
will enjoy. f
Moist Bread Stuffing
Ingredients: 1 cup butter or mar
garine, 1 1-3 cups shopped onion,
1 1-3 cups chopped celery, 4 quarts
soft bread crumbs, 1 tablespoon
salt, 1-2 teaspoon pepper, 1 table-
spon poultry seasoning, 2 table
spoons chopped parsley, 1 cup hot
water.
Method: Melt butter. or mar
garine in a skillet over low heat.
Add onion and celery and cook un
til tender, about 10 to 15 minuteqjf
Pour over bread crumbs; mix in
salt, pepper, poultry seasoning and
parsley. Add hot water and mix
thoroughly. This makes a moist
stuffing. Makes enough stuffing
for a 12 pound turkey (dessed, but
not drawn) or enough for a 10-
pound turkey with enough left
over for five or six stuffing balls.
To cook stuffing bails, shape them
into balls and place close togeth
er in a preased pan. Baste with
mento strips and use them with
turkey dippings and bake for 20
minutes. Dress them up with pi-
parsley to gazxish the turkey plat
ter. Roast tha 10 or 12 pound tur
key in a slow (SSI PJ oven ter 2
1-4 to 4 hours.
