WHO'S WELL OFFJ
None of the political candidates
now bidding for votes has, to my
knowledge, used the moat power-
ful appeal—the promise of a liv-
ing standard for everyone twice
as high afs today’s. It isn’t some-
thing government can do for us,
but it definitely ia something the
private enterprise system can
achieve in a nation having the
right kind of governmental lead-
ership-wise and courageous man-
agement of government under
sound governmental policies. Peo-
ple have a normal longing for
prosperity and plenty. It is basic—
fundamental—in human nature.
Thus the promise of a better life
is powerful. . .
In the American system the
key to prosperity is production
There are two kinds of production
—production for war and produc-
tion for normal peaceful use. Be-
ginning in 193ft, when Hitler’s
Germany made its first warring
moves, our nation began to build
up a war production prosperity.
Most of us can remember that in
1938 the depression that had be-
gun in 1930 had been only slightly
relieved in spite of extreme meas-
ures taken by government. In fact,
in 1938 we still had 10,000,000 peo-
ple unemployed.
War Spending
In 1938, even with its huge ex-
penditurer on depression -projects,
the Federal government spent only
$6.9 billion. But late that year
Hitler’s aims became clearly evi-
dent. Our military spending leap-
ed upwards. In 1939 the govern-
ment' spent $8.9 billion; in 1940,
$9.2 billion. .Then, with Hitler on
the rampage in Europe, we went
all out. War production and spend-
ing rose to the greatest height in
history. The government spent
$13 billion in 1941, $34 billion In
1942, $79 billion in 1943, $95 bil-
lion in 1944. $96 billion in 1945,
and 900 billion in 1946.
Everybody got more dollars. We
had a war prosperity. But our na-
tion was paying a ghastly pries in
human livea and resources. Our
ful total of 948,574—which means
an average of 20,000 casualties
from each of
4g states. And

Graham faces its game of the
year Friday night against the
Bowie Jackrabbita at Bowl*. Tim
“chips will be down” and the vic-
tor in all probability emerge Dis-
trict Champion. Coach Mattingly's
boys are accustomed to the idea
of winning. HU tenure of seven
years as head coach haa beau one
of the more successful of the men-
tors In the state. They hive won
5 of 7 DUtrict Championships, 4
Bi-DUtrtct tilU, 2 regional tilts,
and advanced to the quarter fiaaU
another time.
The record thus far this year
has been impressive, winning 5 of
6 games. Their offense U varied
using single wing most of the
time, and the Wtng-T.
The Jackrabbita line will out-
weigh the Steers offensive line
thirteen pounds to the man. All
seven linemen are Senior* having
pUyed together for four yean.
There are 16 Beaton gunning for ’
another chance in the playoffs.
ThU group U headed by All-'
DUtrict and Co-Captain Smith, 190
pound left end. McGraw, 170 pound
blocking back, U considered the
best defensive man we’ve faced all
year. “They will be double tough,”
according to Lina Coach Curry.
.Upwever, Coach Orr*» boy* are
ready' to accept the challenge AU
ias:
the satisfaction of enjoying a DU-
trict crown.
May the best teem win!

The World War n spending had
hardly subsided when American
soldiers found themselves fight-
ing another frightful war—this
one in Korea. And to the amaze-
meny of most American citizens,
our government disclosed that our
great stores of World War H arm-
aments had been wasted away. Our
men fought for months In Korea
before renewed war production
could supply them with sufficient
weapons. Now we're back up to an
$80 billion Federal budget with
most of the billions going for war
material.
We have great volume of dollars
In circulation and most people
have more of them than before
Korea, but the dollar's purchasing
power.is constantly dropping and
the latest casualty report from
Korea shows that 120,000 Ameri-
can men have been maimed or
killed. Obviously a war production
prosperity is not desirable. So the
most powerful political appeal that
a candidate could make would be
the presentation of a logical pro-
gram for transforming the war

’prosperity”—which isn’t really
prosperity at all—to a sound peace-
time prosperity that will continue
to improve everybody's living
standard.
to Could Be Done__
Some may feel that only a mir-
acle could accomplish this. Act-
ually, intelligent and courageous
leadership could go a long way
toward accomplishing it. Two key
requirements would be necessary:
(1) the relieving of the immedi-
ate threat of all out War with Rus-
sia; and (2) the restoration of the
healthy production incentive that
has made America the richest and
most powerful nation on earth in
a comparatively short time, and
her people the best clothed, fed,
boosed and educated. /
In short, if we would whittle
government and taxes down to
their proper size, give the proven
American enterprise system an
open field for productive expan-
sion, and establish ■ common-
sense policy for coping with the
Communist menace, at home end
abroad, our future would be far
mere secure end far brighter than
we find It new when we examine
all the factors in our present war

ommerit could influence the open-
ing of a great now era of program
