INFLATION HARMS SAVER,
BENEFITS GOVERNMENT
A reader, George Treadwell, sec
retary of Rotary club No. 1, Chi
cago, sends me an authorless clip
ping which, he says, sounds like
something I had written. The little
story was supplied to the Rotarian
by Dan D. Clinton of Houston, Tex.,
who said he had heard or read it.
Thanks for the compliment,
‘Tread,” but 1 cannot claim to be
the daddy of the waif, although I
wish I could. That little piece so
aptly describes the conditions of
these times—today, tomorrow and
next year—that I am swiping it to
pass along to other readers. Here it
is as printed in the Rotarian under
die title, “What's Inflation?’’:
“A man who rau a small
chicken ranch needed wheat for
his chickens, so he went to work
for a farmer one day,* week.
The farmer paid him $5 a day.
He used the $5 to buy wheat
from the farmer af $1 a bushel.
So, every day he took home five
bushels of wheat.
“One day he said to the farm
er, ‘I’ve got to have more
money. I’m going to charge you
$G a day for my work.’ ‘I know
how it is,’ said the farmer, ‘I’ve
got to have more money for my
wheat. Starting today, wheat
will cost you $1.20 a bushel.’ So
the man worked one day a week
for the farmer, and at the end
of the day took home five bush
els of wheat.
“A little while later, the man
said his wages would have to go
up to $7.50 a day — and the
farmer put the price of wheat
up to $1.50 a bushel. So the man
continued to work one day a
week with the farmer and at the
end of the day he brought home
five bushels of wheat.
“After a while his wages got
up to $10 a day, and he paid $2
a bushel for his wheat. The
farmer said to his wife, ‘Isn’t It
wonderful? I’m getting twice
as much for my wheat as I used
to.’ The man with the chicken
ranch said to his wife, ‘Isn’t it
wonderful? I’m getting twice
the wages I used to get.’
“Puzzle — who’s ahead? No
body. Who’s behind? The peo
ple with savings in the bank.
The people with government
bonds. The people with insur
ance policies.”
It is at that $2 a bushel wheat
price, and the $10 a day wage scale
that Senator Taft suggests we sta
bilize our economic standards. To
do so means just what this little
story so aptly illustrates. It would
standardize the dollar at about 30
cents as compared with predepres-
sion values.
There is one who will win. That
one is our Uncle Samuel. He has
sold billions of dollars of war bonds
to his nieces and nephews. They
patriotically invested the savings
they made from their predepression
100-cent dollars, but at a 60-cent
dollar value. Now it is suggested
that Uncle Samuel pay off the
nieces and nephews in 30-cent value
dollars.
That may be a popular procedure
for those who have products or la
bor to sell, but it will be hard on
those who have only the savings of
lOO-cent dollars on which to live,
whether those savings be Invested
m Uncle Sam’s war bonds, in sav-
ngs accounts, insurance policies or
Dther things from which returns do
not increase to compensate for the
difference between a lOO-cent and a
JO-cent dollar. On that deal Uncle
Sam is the one winner, but we, col
lectively, are Uncle Sam.

'ARMED INSURRECTION’.
An illuminating paragraph from
the Communistic textbook. Issued
is instructions to party workers by
the Third International, with head
quarters in Moscow: “The task of
the party is to lead the working
class to the revolutionary struggle
for power. This is done by carrying
on propaganda in favor of increas
ingly radical slogans, and by organ
izing mass action, including strikes
and demonstrations, strikes and
armed demonstrations, and finally
the general strike with armed in-
lurrection.” In America the party
workers have reached the stage of
"strikes and demonstrations,” and
are moving towards “armed dem-
lustrations. ”
• • •
MANUFACTURERS, large or
small, who unnecessarily increase
their prices in order to Increase
their earnings beyond a “stay in
business” point, are helping to in
vite that inflation of which we are
so fearful.

THE soap box orators of Trafal
gar Square, London, had much to
do with socializing England. Will
we permit the same thing to happen
here?

TOURING can be enjoyable until

WE can have freedom for the

HOIST WELCOME SIGN
Virginia To Display Showplaces
For Garden Week Observance
WNU Features.
RICHMOND,' VA.—All the traditional charm and gra
ciousness of life in the “Cradle of the Nation” will be revived
as Virginia once again plays host to the people of the na
tion. From April 28 to May 3 the showplaces of the state—
including approximately 200 serene and stately homes, love
ly gardens restored to their original beauty, historic build
ings and other national shrines—will be open to the public in
observance of Garden Week. ^
Sponsored by the Garden club of | set foot on the soil of Berkeley their
Virginia, Garden Week is being re
sumed this year for the first time
since 1941. Before it was disbanded
during the war years. Garden Week
had become a recognized institution,
annually drawing thousands of visi
tors from all parts of the nation.
In Springtime Dress.
From the western tips of the Al
legheny, the Shenandoah and the
Blue Ridge mountains, their slopes
ablaze with the blossoms of rho
dodendron and mountain laurel,
through the lush green valley, up
through “George Washington’s coun
try” to the outskirts of the nation’s
capital city, down through the rolling
bluegrass section that is Piedmont,
to the yellow sands of Tidewater
and the flourishing tobacco area of
the south, all Virginia has hoisted
the welcome sign.
High on a plateau above the Po
tomac is the “perfect little house”
so dear to the heart of its builder,
George Mason, that he declined of
fers of fame and fortune so that he
might never be far from the sight
of the smoke from its tall chimneys
or the fragrance of its box-hedged
gardens planted by the same hands
which so unfalteringly penned the
Bill of Rights and the first constitu
tion of Virginia.
Imposing Mansions.
Its lovely formal gardens shaded
by century old trees, Westover-on-
the-James was termed “the most
beautiful place in America” by the
Marquis de Chestellux. This planta
tion was bought by William Byrd in
1688 and the present house built in
1730 by William Byrd II (the Black
Swan) founder of Richmond.
In the 18th century “great house”
of Carters Grove, near Williams
burg, is “the finest Georgian wood
work in all America,” the richly
carved balustrades of Its stairway
still bearing the sabre marks of
Tarlton’s men.
Not far from busy Washington
Is Mount Vernon, shining white
and peaceful In its wide expanse
of green lawns, while on another
arm of the broad Potomac is
Wakefield, the sturdy little brick
memorial house marking the
site where Washington first saw
the light of day.
At Berkeley-on-the-James, of mel
low brick without and rich panel
ling within, America’s ninth presi
dent, William Henry Harrison, and
his famous father, Benjamin Harri
son, signer of the Declaration of In
dependence, were born in the same
upper room.
‘First Thanksgiving.’
Berkeley was built in 1726 by Ben
jamin Harrison (father of the sign
er) but the plantation was in the
news In 1619 as the site of what Vir
ginians claim was the first Thanks
giving in the New World. The oc
casion was the arrival of the ship
Margaret from England with sup
plies, settlers and servants. The
proprietors had given instructions
that the day of the ship’s arrival
must be “yearly and perpetually
kept as a day of thanksgiving to
Almighty God,” and when on De
cember 4, 1619, the weary voyagers
first act was a service of thanks
giving.
Homes of Presidents.
In the foothills of the Blue Ridge
is Jefferson’s beloved Monticello,
reached by a winding roadway
lined with golden forsythia and
snowy white bridal wreath. The Blue
Ridge mountains and the rolling
Piedmont provide a picturesque set
ting and trees and shrubs planted
by the hand of Jefferson nod to one
another across the white portals of
one of the most beautiful houses In
all America.
Just over the line in Orange coun
ty with a venerable weeping willow
at Its gateway is Montpelier, home
of James Madison, fourth president
of the United States, and his charm
ing wife, Dolly. This imposing and
gracious mansion, set far back be
hind green lawns, is surrounded by
breath-taking drifts of color in the
springtime.
In Westmoreland county, not
far from the Potomac, is the
great house of Stratford, which
in all its simplicity and dignity
probably has harbored more
men of eminence than any other
residence in Virginia. Built by
Thomas Lee, acting colonial
governor of Virginia more than
200 years ago, Stratford was the
birthplace of five patriots of the
Revolution, two signers of the
Declaration of Independence
and Virginia’s own Robert E.
Lee, son of “Light Horse Har
ry,” who long called Stratford
‘‘home.”
Fredericksburg, George Washing
ton's first “home town,’’ has all the
charm of an old valentine. Here
imagination and memory play tag
along old brick sidewalks, past half-
hidden gardens and mellow brick
homes dreaming in the sunshine be
hind white doorways with shiny
brass knockers. Here Mary Wash
ington, mother of George, greeted
the Marquis de LaFayette on his
way to Yorktown and on the steps
of the little cottage she kissed her
famous son goodbye. Along these
streets, which all called home,
walked John Paul Jones, Matthew
Fontaine Maury, pathfinder of the
seas, and Lewis Littlepage, only
American citizen ever to hold office
in the cabinet of a king.
Next to Mary Washington’s home
Is Kenmore, home of her daughter
Betty, wife of Col. Fielding Lewis,
who gave his fortune and his life to
the cause of the Revolution.
Fascinating History.
Just down the street is a low brick
building, complete with quaint colo
nial garden, where James Mon
ro* first began the practice of law.
One of its many treasures, care
fully preserved, is the desk on which
the Monroe Doctrine was written.
Down the river Is the “noble man
sion" of Chatham, built before the
Revolution by William Fitzhugh,
which served as headquarters for
General Sumner during the Battle of
Fredericksburg in 1805 and for the
federal troops under General Burn
side during the War Between the
States. Her* Clara Barton of Red
Cross fame helped to nurse hundreds
of wounded. Today its gardens are
a riot of bloom and the waters oi
the Rappahannock ripple off in the
distance.
Restored Williamsburg, tourist
mecca at all seasons of the year,
is like a perfect stage setting, its
actors all in character playing
their lines with the casualness
of long understanding. The feel
ing of watching a play contin-
nes as the sharp tattoo of horses
hoofs soonds along Duke of
Gloucester street (described by
the late Franklin D. Roosevelt
as “the most historic avenue in
all America”).
An 18th century carriage rolls by
—past the Palace of the Royal Gov
ernors, the ancient capitol which
rang to the voice of Patrick Henry,
where met the convention of 1776 and
where Mason’s Bill of Rights was
adopted; past Bruton parish church
and Raleigh tavern (birthplace of
Phi Beta Kappa) and William and
Mary college, second oldest in Amer
ica.
History in Review.
Just outside of Williamsburg on
the Jamestown road an amphithea
ter is in process of construction,
and during this coming summer the
drama that is the whole early his
tory of the founding of the nation
will sweep across its stage, the parts
of the founding fathers played by
leading actors of the American
stage.
Farther down the road is James
town—first in importance of all the
historic shrines in America, where
the three little ships discharged their
cargo of adventurous souls on that
May day in 1607 to lay the founda
tion of the American nation. In this
old brick church about which the ivy
clings, Pocahontas was baptized
and married and here the first legis
lative assembly in the new world
met.
In Richmond, capital of the con
federacy and “city of the seven
hills,” there are many historic points
to visit, beginning with the columned
capitol, designed by Thomas Jef
ferson, around which teems the life
of the cigarette capital of the world.
Opened especially for Garden Week
are two homes which were ancient
when America was first dreamed of
and which have been transported,
stone by stone, from England. One
of these, Virginia House, was once
the Priory of the Holy Sepulchre
at Warwick, England.
Virginia’s eastern shore, sec
ond oldest settlement in Amer
ica, Is across Chesapeake bay
from the rest of Virginia.
The eastern shore has the oldest
continnons coart records in
America, dating from 1632. Lo
cated here are some of the love
liest homes in the state, 13 of
which will be open to visitors
daring Garden Week.
A ride across the ferry from the
eastern shore brings the visitor to
Princess Anne county, the haunt of
Blackboard and the spot where the
first permanent English settlers
landed on Amertcan soil. Here are
churches built in the early 18th cen
tury with their silver communion
services, the gift of Queen Anne,
and lovely old gardens and homes.
In the heart of the Valley of Vir
ginia, Staunton, birthplace of Pres.
Woodrow Wilson, stands ready to re
ceive Garden Week visitors, and
Lexington, hallowed with memories
of Lee, dons all its spring bloom.
Big Labor Savings
By Modern Methods
Improved Machinery
Results in Profit Gain
The modern wheat farmer’s la
bor is 14 times as productive as
that of his great-grandfather.
Figures presented in the new En
cyclopaedia Britannica reveal that
the hand methods of 1830 required
57.7 man-hours' of labor to produce
20 bushels of wheat on one acre of
land.
By 1896, machine methods had cut
the time to a little under nine man
hours. In 1940, using tractor pow
er, gang plow, tandem disc, harrow,
drill, combine and truck, the amount
of labor to produce 20 bushels of
wheat was only slightly more than
four man-hours.
We have come a long way since
the “good old days.”
The more machines are used for
farming, the more skilled the work
ers become and the higher the
wages that can be paid them. A
demand for skill and a desire to ac
quire it tend to improve the quality
of the rural population.
Farm machinery also has im
proved product quality. Better yield
results from precise planting, prop
er placing of fertilizer and more
thorough harvesting, and in addi
tion, there is less waste through
weathering and rotting.
Adapting plants to machines,
breeders have produced hybrid corn
bearing ears at a uniform height,
wheat with stronger stalks and grain
sorghums with upright seed heads
to speed harvesting.
NOSE-PRINTS, TATTOO
The tattoo system of equine iden
tification, to prevent substituting
ringers in races, is generally advo
cated.
As early as 1921 it was found that
animals could be identified by nose-
prints, using a system similar to that
used with finger-prints by police au
thorities. A combination of the two
systems should be fool-proof. First,
the horse or cattle would be tat
tooed, then nose-print taken to in
clude the tattoo. This double pro
tection would make an alteration im
possible.
Cow Mine Detector
Metal objects often pierce the
cow’s stomach, then enter the heart
and cause severe inflammation and
sometimes almost instant death.
With the bovine “mine detector,"
the veterinarian passes the instru
ment over the cow, and if she has
any metal objects inside her, it pro
duces a ringing sound in the ear
phones. Then by surgery, the nails
and other objects can be removed.
Hexachloro Cyclohexane
Finding Many New Uses
A new insecticide now appears
containing 50 per cent hexachloro
cyclohexane in a wettable powder
formulation suitable for application
In a water spray and for further di
lution for dust application.
It shows promise for control of
cattle lice, many insects of cotton,
including aphids, and for certain in-
sects that heretofore have been dif
ficult or impossible to control, in
cluding locusts and hoppers.
AVIATION NOTES
‘GLAMOUR GIRLS’ WIN . . . The first aU-feminine administra

miller, clerk; and Mrs. Thelma Snodgrass, assessor.
IN THESE UNITED STATES
‘Petticoat Officials’ To Show
‘How Town Ought To Be Ran’
WNU Features.
GRASS LAKE, MICH.—With the avowed purpose of show
ing the men “how a town ought to be run,” seven women took
office in April as the village of Grass Lake’s first all-feminine
administration.
Commonly dubbed the “petticoat government,” the wom
en are intent on proving that “the "
hand that rocks the cradle” can do
just as welfholding the reins of local
government.
Heading the group is Miss Helen
McCall, first woman president in
history of Grass Lake. Seated with
her were six other women, all of
whom admit they are over 40—but
they won’t say how much.
The women, who claim they
ran for office as a “joke,” have
no special program. “We’ll see
what’s wanted and then do our
best,” Miss McCall declares.
Discounting the suggestion that
there was any antagonism between
the sexes, Miss McCall insists a man
suggested that the women run for
office. Even the men, she claims,
were pleased with the outcome of
the election, at which the all-women
slate of candidates badly defeated
a "young men’s ticket.”
Lulled by their usual success in
previous elections, in which the vil
lage generally had only one ticket,
the men did practically no election
eering. The women, on the other
hand, got out and solicited votes. A
poster pictured their candidates in
glamour girl poses, taking a cue
from big city political tactics.
The election drew an unprece
dented number of voters. In
stead of the nsnal 30 or fewer
voters, 125 cast ballots and 23
others were turned away from
the polls because they weren’t
registered.
Miss McCall defeated her oppo
nent, Leon Lockwood, by 84 to 39.
Her running mates won by smaller
margins.
Installed with Miss McCall in the
official family of the village were:
Mrs. Mae Riethmiller, a housewife,
clerk; Mrs. Mabel Hagadon, house
wife, treasurer; Mrs. Thelma Snod
grass, service station employee, as
sessor; Miss Marjorie Foster and
Mrs. Iona Wright, trustees.
Hand Looms Revived
For Weaving Tweeds
BROWNSTOWN, PA.—In an an
cient grist mill on Conestoga creek,
remodeled in a style typical of the
period when it was built in 1855, a
centuries-old craft—the weaving of
woolen fabrics on hand looms—
has been revived.
The mill, long a favorite subject
of .artists, has been remodeled by
Walter Desager, native Swiss and
former woolen mill operator in Scot
land and England.
Five looms, all built by a Lan
caster carpenter from plans drawn
by Desager, are in operation in the
new plant. Inexperienced men, em
ployed as laborers, were taught the
trade by Desager.
Weaving of wool on hand looms
instead of the usual electric-driven
machinery is not for sentimental
reasons, Desager Insists. Although
the old method is slow, it produces
a high quality fabric and allows for
quick changes of style, he adds.
Fabrics manufactured will be a type
tweed used for men’s and women’s
wear.
The interior of the remodeled mill
features a Pennsylvania Dutch
room, designed for show purposes
and for use of employees.
AIRPORT CHATTER
Rochelle, HI., airport has been
designated and approved by the state
as a Class 1 airport. When com
pleted, the field will have two gravel
runways, 2,200 feet long, and a third
of turf, 2,600 feet long. . . . Mon
tana’s first airport to be constructed
under the CAA program will be lo
cated at Shelby. Construction oi
the two-runway field, estimated cost
of which is $230,000, will start about
May 1. . . . Fort Dodge, Iowa, vot
ers approved a $200,000 airport bond
issue by a margin of 703 to 389 at a
special election. . . . Plans for a
“country club type” airport are be
ing advanced in Council Bluffs,
Iowa. J. A. Fergus of Wichita, Kas.,
is promoting the 360-acre airport
plan, which would be closer to down
town Omaha than the Omaha air
port. Estimated cost of the project
is $180,000. . . . The latest thing in
wolf hunting was staged at Verona,
Mo., by C. E. Atterberry and Glen
Calhoun. They have bagged 18
wolves from an airplane since the
first of the year. . . . The “Flying
Ices,” pioneer South Dakota aviator
family, lost their first lives to avia
tion recently when Jess Randall Ice,
Inland - Western Airlines co - pilot
since 1943, and his wife crashed to
their deaths near the Rapid City air
base as they returned from a mail
flight to the northern Black Hills.
Jess Ice was a son of Clyde Ice,
veteran private pilot.

illegal in that state. He had no

FLYING PRIEST
Known as the “flying priest of the

transportation facilities inadequate.
Intent on serving his people, he
learned to fly and now uses a plane
regularly in carrying out his regular
parish duties as well as for sick
calls, death calls or other emergent
cies.
‘Weak Heart*
CHATTANOOGA, TENN. — Mat-

Oklahoma Now Grants
Jury Service to Women
OKLAHOMA CITY, OKLA.—Wom
an suffrage is to be extended in
Oklahoma. Although women have
had the privilege of voting for many
years, they were deprived of the
right to serve on juries. A bill ap
proved by the state legislature will
rectify that error. Provision is made,
however, that women with children
under 12 years of age can be exempt
from aervlng on juries.
NEW FIGHTER . . . The new jet-

IN THE CARDS
By experimenting with a deck of
cards, a Civil Aeronautics adminis
tration engineer has worked out a
new and inexpensive method oi
marking small airports. The "seg
mented circle” system utilizes pan
els of metal or any weather-proof
composition. The plan is to put such
markers in unused portions of air
fields. The windsock, ordinarily
hard to find from the air, would be
spotted easily in the center of the
circle, together with an L-shaped fig
ure showing the traffic pattern.
