THOSE IIEXORABLE LAWS Mara and mere people are learning that the natural laws of supply and demand are inoxorhablo. lathing can change the fact when costs got out of lino, the prices rise heyood consumer willingness to pay, somooao gets hurt. H Is impossible to calculate tho lost Jobs and curtailed production directly resulting from excessive wage and make-work demands which are often backed up by state or federal law. Congress Is now considering increases in tho minimum wage, and extension of coverage of tho wago law. Tho people most likely to suffer by such action are tho very ones who ore thoorotically supposed to ho helped such as beginners and part-time workers in retell and service establishments. Compelling retell employers to pay inopuitablo wages means fewer jobs and lost opportuaititos. Senator Barry fieldwater, commenting on minmum wage legislation currently under consideration, says, “I admit this proposal has groat voter appeal. . .does it hcvo economic souse? “By artificially increasing wages, wo’ro going to see additional unemployment. Wage increases by legislative fiat without any regard for their economic consequences would curtail employment, reduce job opportunities, and result ultimately in price rises.” Minimum wage legislation is tho same kind of economic quackery that has resulted in unemployment in the stool industry, the moving of American factories to Europe, tho Importation of a Mug volume of Eurojoan goods Into this country, and tho growing inability of American producers In all linos to hold the line against prices and costs that can have but one end—curtailment of living standards, rising unemployment, and harship. We should have learned by now that old-fashloaod government pump-priming, regulations, and artificial wago levels are puny weapons in emmbating natvral

I do not approve of unsigned letters. I have never had an opinion which I either voiced or wrote that I would not sign. I speak for noone unless I speak with like convictions. I write no letters to anyone that I do not sign. As I say. I do not condone unsigned letters in newspapers but I do have this to say for them. Any letter published in a newspaper whether it be signed or unsigned is available for 10c to each and every person in Syracuse or the surrounding countryside even including the person who may be the subject of said letter. He or she knows what has been said about them and the knowledge that all who purchased the paper has undoubtedly read the item. This to me is more honorable and above board than to write a “closed’' letter to one of the probable writers of the unsigned letter to which he objects. In the “closed" letter, Mr. Cox does sign his name but I have no way of knowing to whom he sent these letters nor did he have the courtesy to send me a copy of same so that I would have an opportun ity to accept the apology that he offers in it. I do ask that he apologize to me. but I ask that he do so in writing—perhaps, using the same mailing list in which he unjustly accused me in the first place. I have no fault to pick with Mr. Cox He. too. is a taxpayer and a town cititsen and has every right to his opinions and the privilege to voice them. He must realize, however, that we

Eli Lilly & Co. recently joined the “Hope" project to carry American medical knowledge to other nations. This is a nongovernmental project and the Indiana firm donated $19,000 worth of drugs to the “Hope Ship, which sails for Southeast Asia September 21. The ship is staffed by 15 doctors, 20 nurses, 2 dentists and 20 auxiliary personnel, who will be a teaching hospital, dealing with medical personnel of the nations visited and going only where Invited. Hurricane Donna will be remembered for a long time from the reports that are coming from home folks living there now and by those here who spend the winter months there. The Earl Amicks at Oakwood Park left last week for Avon Park, a month earlier than usual, because they had learned that their brand new trailer, never lived in. had been damaged. Sebring was in the path of the high winds. Letters from Mrs. Roy Gump <sister of Mrs. Emory Stetler) tell of the extensive damage there. Cliff Cripe and his family are settled in St. Cloud? Florida, now. They left the last of August for the south. Pat’s mother. Mrs, Earl Treadway, said their letters sound like they are very happy ; the twins are in school, Pat got a job right away and Cliff was looking into several. They got acquainted with Hurricane Donna, too, altho, nothing too serious. We know now’ why we haven’t seen Mrs. Orrin Smith around much lately. She was down town the other day but lacking her usual pep. After hearing her story we re not surprised. Polio even tho it is the non paralytic variety, plays mean tricks on its victims and Jerri said she had spent most of the past six weeks in bed. Mrs. John Swain and Mrs. Gerald Boger are faithful to an early schedule in order to open the Snack Bar at Messick’s Mea| Market for the five o’clock breakfast crowd. It makes a busy morning preparing breakfasts for the early birds followed by coffee breaks the rest of the morn ing and getting ready for the noon day customers.

Farm Housing Changes Loan Regulations Under a recent change in the eligibility requirements for Farm Housing loans, a farmer who owns a farm that will annually produce for sale or home use at least S4OO worth of commodities may. if he meets other eligibility requirements. be able to obtain a Farm Housing loan. Previously, according to Harry Welland. Farmers Home Administration County Supervisor for Elkh?-t and LaGrange Counties, an applicant had to own a farm that would produce a substantial amount of the operator’s income. Fann Housing Joans are made by the Farmers Home Administration and are used to construct and repair needed farm houses and farm service buildings. Other eligibility requirements for Farm Housing loons remain unchanged. These requirements are that the applicant lacks the resources needed to obtain income from farm and other sources to pay farm operating and family living expenses and meet payments, when due, on his debts. Application for this type of credit may be made at the County Office of the Farmers Home Administration located in the Spohn Building In Goshen.

American Diets Call For More Vegetables Changes in American eating habits are requiring a shift to increase production of vegetables as well as livestock. Leslie Hafen, horticulturist at Purdue University says, “While it is impossible to predict precisely what dietary changes and levels of income will prevail in the next 15 to 20 years, we’ll need to produce 43 percent more vegetables in 1975 than now if present trends continue.” Hafen calls the future of horticultural products in Indiana good. “We are well prepared to produce top quality fruits and vegetables in abundance with less labor in the years ahead," he asserts.
