Just a kind word or a greeting.
Just a warm clasp or a smile.
These are the flowers that will
place and at the right time.
The job of distributors is doubly
difficult at the present time, part-
ly because they must fight an up-
hill battle to convince government
regulators such as the OPA that
excessive red tape and unneces-
sary rules are anthema to effici-
ent distribution, a fact that has
nearly wrecked the government’s
distribution of surplus property.

Political Announcements
The Ledger is authorized to
announce the following candidates
for the offices designated, subject
to the action of the' General
Election in November, 1946:
Rates: District and county offi-
ces. 110.00; precinct offices, $5.00,
cash in advance.
The lesson is that an efficient
retail distribution system cannot
be, set up overnight. Moreover, it
cannot be set up at all if it is
burdened with red tape. The gov-
ernment could probably learn a
few things from the retail distri-
bution industry. This industry
lags.

It’s an old one but I’ve always
liked the story of the intoxicated
man who was shoved out the front
door of a club and he announced
to a bystander, "I‘m gonna go
back in there an, throw ’em all
out. You stand here an' count
’em.” So he made his wobbly way
back up the steps and back into
the building. In little while the’
door flew open and out sailed a
form. The man on the* tree t said,
“One." The1 figure on the side-
walk slowly rose and said, "Don’t
start counting yet; this is just me
eomin‘ out again.”
And changing the subject:
For the first breakfast in their
home, the bride cooked some bis-
cuits. Her husband said, “Darling,
don’t cook ‘biscuits anymore; you
are too light- for such heavy
work.” .

Before the railroad stiike, the

Though temporary peacetime
price controls may be justified in
some few special situations', even
in such cases the controls tend to
hold back productivity and em-
ployment. In the petroleum in-
dustry, supplies of crude oil and
pf all products far exceed prospec-
tive demand except where price
'ceilings have caused an unbalance.
Competition has already brought
gasoline prices below the ceilings,
and can be relied upon to provide
sufficient supplies of all petro-
leum products at reasonable
prices, even though the removal of
ceilings ought to result" in ade-
quate'price increases for erode oil.

troversies between management
and labor remain merely disputes
between groups of private citizens
that can meet each other as equals
at the conference table. Govern-
ment then is a third party, an
umpire and arbiter. Its only in-
terest should be fair play all a-
round. But once government
operation materializes, private in-
dustry disappears from the scene,
tension mounts, and the striking
group finds itself cast in the role
of apublic enerty. There is no

Cold hands can’t hold them, you

The odors that sweet from them:

Death, with a peace beyond
