Cranberry Crop Sets Near-Record WASHINGTON (INS) — Thin year’s holiday cranberry crop is smaller than last year’s — but it’s still plenty big. The 1953 cranberry crop set records, and the 1954 berry output is expected to be almost as large. The Massachusetts cranberry bogs, a major production center, were hit by the hurricanes this fall, but damage to the crop was .. minor. - - ■ : K— —" Democrat War* *4s Ur!«»g Result*

Great Britain Is Building Strength Bankruptcy To Boom Within Three Years LONDON INS) — Britain is turning a beaming, self-satisfied face of prosperity on. the world today. The British, who pride themselves on understatement and regard a charge of “bragging” the most dastardly of affronts, are currently engaged in the biggest campaign of “sounding their own horn" in their postwar history. Production and profits, employment and wages, home consumption and exports, spending and. savings — everything is up and soaring higher and higher. "From bankruptcy to boom in three years,— this is our national story.” trumpets Dr. Charles Hill, parliamentary secretary to the Ministry of Food. “Let the figures speak." he declaims with all the confidence of the successful politician. "This year industrial production is seven percent up on last year. Exports are seven percent up. The trade gap is narrower and our gold and dollar reserves are bigger. Employment is a peacetime record. Measured in terms of such essentials of the good life as peace, housing, food, freedom and saving, the story is the same," Dr. Hill declares. Dr. Hill is not alone in boasting Britain in the ears of the world. Businessmen and traders, bankers and financiers have joined him in talking up Britain’s "remarkable’’ recovery. The days of grim austerity and tightened belts are only memories today and confidence in the future is a characteristic of the British people in 1954. • The‘flood of dire, solemn, serious and grave “warnings’* about the threat of national economic disaster that have flowed relentlessly from the lips of British officials Socialist and Conservative — since the end of the war has turned into a tiny, hardly discernible trickle. Instead. Britons likb Lord Mack intosh of Halifax, chairman of the National Savings Committee, jubilantly proclaim that “there has never been such prosperity in Britain nor so much money in people’s pockets." People in Britain, insists Lord j ’ I

Mackintosh, “have not been disturbed by rapidly rising prices. In fact, the price level during the last 18 months have showed marked stability. Inflation is no longer a bogey." There is unassailable evidence everywhere in Britain that the nation is enjoying a record level of prosperity. Objective outsiders like the Managing Board of the European Payments Union clearly ~ agree with the British analysis when they issue a statement declaring that “the economic situation of the United Kingdom seems better than at any time since the end of the war." All this does not meap, however, that there is no grumbling and grousing in Britain. Socialists complain about the high cost of living and the inadequacy of pensions among other things, trade unions do not hesitate to put in claims for bigger pay packets, and few Britons in any walk of life fail to harp on “pepal burden” of taxation. Some strange new complaints are also being aired today. British chefs who coped succesfully during the years of shortage and "ersatz" are now being trouMed by*soinething which they find l more baffling — plenty of good, | rich food. ; Many of them do not know What t do with it. having been trained on austerity and schooled in the era of substitute ingredients. The catering trade is concerned. It-cannot find enough highly skilled chefs who can prepare the dishes that were characteristic of pre-war service and are once again being demanded by "prosperous” Britons.
