"What courses should I take to prepare myself for a job as a football coach?" LEND-LEASE At a national Sunday school con vention in New York, answers were given to the roll call by states. When the state of Texas was called, a brawny specimen of southern man hood stepped out into the aisle, and with a strident voice exclaimed: “We represent the great state of Texas. Hie first white woman bom in Texas is still living. She now has a population of over three million.’* There was a pause of bewilder ment for a moment, and then a voice from the galleries rang out clear and distinct; “Send that, woman out to Wyo ming. We need herl” Local Pride The inhabitants of a remote sec tion of our country built a bridge across a local river. It was a fine structure and should be decorated, they thought, with a suitable in scription. The brightest minds of die town grappled with the problem, but nothing quite expressed the pride and satisfaction of the com munity. The tablet that was finally put up read: “This bridge was made here.’’ It’s Settled _ So that’s itt Withholding funds Well, that’s a load off my mind, that aren't yours I From this you will go to stealing, embezzling, counterfeiting, swindling! »yeii, that’s a load of my mind. My future is all planned! SLOW TRAIN An American in England was giv ing some illustrations of the size of his country. “You can board a train in the State of Texas at dawn,’’ he said, impressively, “and twenty - four hours later you’ll still be in Texas!’’ “Yes,’* said one of his English listeners, with feeling, “We’ve got trains like that here, too.** Pardon? Senator Leverett Saltonstall got this letter from a feminine con stituent: “Please send me the name of that Government agency from which I can borrow money, interest free. With the money. I’ll buy Unit ed States savings bonds, and I’ll use the interest from the bonds to pay my income tax.” Could Be “My wife doesn’t understand me. Does yours?” “Dunno. Never heard her men tion your name.” GOING DOWN A smart buyer telephoned for price on a carload of canary bird seed. Later he asked if the same price would hold good on half a car. Having been assured of this, he later called up and wanted to know if the price would be the same on five hundred pounds. The seller finally agreed to make the same price. Later he called up and wanted to know if the same p. ice would hold good on one hundred pounds. The dealer, very much out of patience, replied, “If you will send your darn old canary over to our store we will feed him for nothing.” Someone Should Corliss: You don’t think Dexter’s handsome, but I do. I never get tired of looking into his face. Mr. Archer: Well, it’s a face that sure needs looking into.

Hemphill in dicated. Dr. Hemphill’s “guesstimate” is based on figures supplied to him through the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis, Inc., by the United States public health service which receives weekly re ports from the various state health departments throughout the na tion. Since June, 1950, he has been making a continuous statistical study of the areas* and number of polio cases occurring in the Unit ed States. His studies are spon sored by grants from the National Foundation for Infantile Par alysis, Inc.

Everyone, even proponents of new control law enacted by Congress, agrees prices are bound to go up • • • prices may be stabilized, but on higher level than at present* OPS officials reason consumers will blame them if prices go up as they WILL go up, hence they will rait until last minute, or until they are con- rinced this Congress will not vote amendments be fore placing new regulations into effect* CONGRESS MAY CONSIDER SLAUGHTER CONTROLS • There is some talk Congress might consider going back to slaughter controls on meat animals, but there is little indication there will be further basic amendments. Look for another message from President Truman seeking to tighten up present act. 0 So, for business, there is period of con fusion and uncertainty ahead. For retailers and rholesalers there is a status quo, for new sustomary margin mark-ups apply to future regu lations and NOT to those pow in effect, so prices oust be based on present rules. 0 Within next few weeks, look for OPS crack- iown on ceilings violators by enforcement divi sion; look for department of justice arrests for violations of Installment credit controls regu- i Lations, and expect arrests for cheating on Inventories above limitations fixed by national production authority* 0 Retailers from throughout country report nore than seasonal pick-up in clothing sales, in oany instances due to bargain sales to whittle iown inventories. Even fall clothes are bginning to sell and NOT at bargain prices. Early pick-up Is predicted in sales of shoes, hosiery and children's wear, the latter a seasonalMncrease due to start of school term in September. 0 Of interest to merchants who buy and sell cotton textiles and to merchants in cotton producing areas, bumper crop of 17,266,000 bales Is forecast by federal crop reporting board.
