Tax Notice At the close o'f business on January 30,1954 A TWO PER CENT PENALTY will be added to all unpaid 1953 State and County Taxes J. RAY DAWKINS Treasurer B eginning with the first day of this new year, most American businesses and industries hung out an imaginative sign: Business — as Usual. And. unless most observers are wrong, the sign should literally mean — same as in 1953. There doesn’t figure to be too much change. For some, things will be a little bit better; for others, a slight decline, but no one expects any kind of a general recession. Those on the “inside” say that home buying will be stimulated during the year by new housing legislation providing for less cash down and longer time to pay. New heme production for 1953 was estimated at about 1,100,000 units with a combined value of nearly $12,000,000,000. The National Association of Home Builders says the number of new housing starts in 1954 will run very close to the same level. OveraU new construction is ex pected to drop off slightly, although the total volume of activity should remain relatively high. There is still a tremendous backlog of de mand for school buildings and a sizeable demand for various types of commercial building develop ments. An increase of 22,000,000 motor vehicles in operation today as compared with the end of World War II indicates a tremendous need for additional highway con struction, including demands for city streets replanning, parking facilities, and suburban and rural roadside projects. Manufacturing companies expect sales of most products to be down. but are looking for a good year, just the same. Industry experts say only companies in danger are those whose break-even points have risen so high that even a ten to twenty per cent decline in volume of sales will put their net operations into the red. However, offsetting these view points are the optimists, who say that the volume of Christmas re tail sales indicate increased activi ty in the months ahead in many business lines. One of the better outlooks for 1954 prosperity is enjoyed by the aviation industry, still heavily backlogged with both military and commercial plane orders. Sched uled airlines had their best year in history in 1953, are just as con fident about 1954. Reasons for their optimism; Airlines are using new er, more modern planes; world tensions are easing; personal in come tax reductions coupled with American desire to travel; and improved airline safely records. In general, economists believe that 1904 will be a good year, even as it might fall below the record prosperity year of 1953, when the gross national product (measuring the market value of all goods and services produced) totaled $367 billion—the highest on record. Commerce Secretary Sin clair Weeks, in his year-end review hit the key note when he declared: “Though 1954 may not equal the all-time record boom of 1953, known conditions and forseeable pros pects offer sound reasons for con tinued realistic optimism that it will be among the better years of economic history.” Rev. Robert H. Harper Doing tbt Works of God (Tern- Poranct). Lesson for January 31: John 5; 2-3, 3-18. Golden Text: John 10: 10. The first two verses of the les son text tell of the pool that stirred at times by a bubbling up of its water. The people believed the bubbling was caused by an angel and that the first to get into the pool would be healed. Lying at the -pool was a poor afflicted fellow who had suffered some dread malady for thirty-eight years and who had never been able to be the first to step into the pool after the bubbling of the water. When Jesus saw the man and asked him if he desired to be healed, the poor fellow told of his failure to get into the pooL Then Jesus said to him, “Arise, take up thy bed, and walk.” And at once the man rejoiced to find that he could obey. He took up his bed and walked. The story indicates that the man had come into his sad condition because of his own sins. Perhaps an evil disease had laid hold of him because of his vices. While the book of Job teaches us that suffering is not necessarily a result and an evidence of guilt, we can but be lieve that many diseases are di rectly the penalty of sin. Let us see that temperate, sane living is a good insurance of health and happiness. There is much truth in the Japanese proverb. “A noble soul dwells in a strong body.” Rightly provided for. the body will be the dwelling place of all good things, the fit habitation of God himself. But abused and broken by sin, the poor old body will be come the dwelling of despair. Lows of Moses Were Enriched By Jesus Christ A COMPETENT Biblical schol- ar (in Hasting’s Bible Dic tionary) has set down as the ideal elements of Jewish Law (1)‘social justice, (2) purity and (3) honor. He credits Moses as propound ing the laws. The Ten Commandments are, of course, the most familiar of the laws. They have been widely accepted as a moral code and variously established in the legal codes of many lands. Despite all the moral laxity of much of modem life, it is still true that the strength and wel fare of a people depends upon the reality with which the essence of the Ten Commandments is in grained in the life and practice of the community. Integrity to family life, honor of parents, devotion to children, regard for the liberties and rights of others—these are the elements upon which social strength and welfare depend. The extent to which these ele ments are denied and disregard ed indicates the depths of weak ness to which many communi ties have fallen, and the acute ness of the problems confronting society as a whole. Yet there is something more, and higher, than the bommand- ments. John 1:17 states, “The law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.” This does not mean that Jesus originated grace and truth, but that He, as He Himself said, ful filled what was inherent in the law. For the New Testament every where represents the fulfillment of the law in the commandment of love—“Thou shalt,” instead of only “Thou shalt not.'* The Ten Commandments would establish correctness of life. The law. of love would give that life fulness in the growth of grace and knowledge. fARMORS fCBfM fUELS KlVS r WE DO KJOT WAMT TO BRAG OR BOAST, BUT OUR GOOD OIL WILL MEAT THE MOST/ High quality oil Let us supply you with the kind of Fuel Oil that’s best for your burner.
