Profit Levels Dangerously Low
We read and hear of- record dollar profits made by number of businesses. And. to many of us. this means that the owners of these businesses are saturated with wealth and are eating high on the hog indeed. , But there is more —a great deal more *— to the profit story. The fact is that profits just haven t kept pace with other segments of the economy. From 1950 to 1963. the gross national product rose 105 percent, the national income 97 per cent, compensation of employees* 120 per cent, and personal income 102 per cent.

This is .why top economists are now concerned with the profit situation.

by Ted Blank of Logansport who was re-elected at a meeting held at Logansport. •• • > THE FOOD PRODUCTION in this country is pretty well dependent uf>on the corn crop. The millions and millions of bushels of com have little value except as a raw product for the production of meat, milk, high quality, high protein foods. The surplus of com has been going down a little each year and this year’s production is jess than we will be using from now until the next crop. We will dip into the carry-over for about eight per cent of our needs. You can’t schedule a corn supply. No amount of management, computers or anything else can determine how many units of com will be produced in 1965. Therefore com producers have but one alternative and that | is to go for a little more than enough just in order to be sure to have enough. The result has been an over I production cd a small amount each year. Our production growth and im- , proving diets have increased the food [ demand by about one and a half per . ! cent a year. Our food production has j increased by about two to two and a half per cent per year. This is the basis of the farm problem. There is no production problem quite the same as in food. Durable goods can be waited on. General motors can have a strike and we can wait a few days on a new car. We could wait six and other than the inconvience, nothing much would happen. Cvws and hens and meat animals don’t strike. They keep right on eating and growing and producing and the food products must be moved today. We don’t use last year’s model steaks. The entire production system is geared to go full force and everyone eats every day on a pretty rigid schedule. We have seen a long period of depressed prices, not because farmers haven’t done a good job but rather because they have filled the supply lines too well - and this is unfortunate.

Dear Amy: s This is no big problem, but a ve would like another opinion I on this. My boyfriend is 21 and I am 20. We have been dating u for about 5 months now, and I b am wondering if it is considered I proper for us to be alone in his 1 or my home for a few hours — s or an afternoon? / My parents don’t think we s should be, and I never thought r it particularly right when no one r is at home. My boyfriend doesn’t 1 seem to agree. Could you please t give us your idea on this subject t DJL c Dear D.H.: t I am usually considered a Liberal, but on your question, I } am a Conservative!

satisfied with your man and, above all, let him know! Dear Amy: I know you’ll think this is an unusual problem, but it has been bothering me so much lately that I’ve got to have your advice. I’m 15 years old and I am going steady with a nice guy (he’s 17). About two years ago I got myself in some trouble with a boy my age. I was lucky there were no consequences. I’ve paid for it. believe me, and every time I think of it, I get nauseous. My boyfriend and I really love each other. I’m sure of that, and he trusts me. My problem is should I tell him about the past and risk losing him? It makes me feel awful to hide anything from him. But I know it would shock him. I'm so confused. Just call me. . . . Frantic Dear Frantic: Don’t think about it. Don’t speak of it. . . and don’t repeat it! , • • • Dear Amy: I am a divorcee, 30, with four small children. My ex-husband is married but supports the children and sees them on weekends. Recently, I met a nice man who apparently is very fond of me and the youngsters. My family objects to him as a serious suitor because he's very nervous, a result of service overseas. My parents say he would never become adjusted to a home with active children. What do you think. Anxious Alice Dear Anxious: Your parents are right. Children can get on anyone's nenes occasionally. If your friend is nervous, they could ruin him completely. Don’t make any decisions until you seek the advice of his doctor. He knows how deep his illness is and what the prospects are for a complete recovery. • • • Address all letters to: AMY ADAMS c/o THIS NEWSPAPER For a personal reply enclose a stamped, self-addressed envelope.

readers took time to write. A HOOSIER DAY column asking whether beer should be sold in state parks kicked up quite a storm. One division head of government protested angrily that so many letters protesting proposed beer sale in parks came that necessary work of his division was tied up. He said that a girl had been full time answering these protest letters several days and now haif days. He said this secretary’s time was more needed for work of more importance. A spokesman in the Lieutenant Governor’s office said that 175 protest letters had come against selling beer in p(arks and they are stilbbeing received The Lieutenant Governor is answering each of these beer sale protest letters as follows: "Thank you for your note on the question of selling beer and liquor in Indiana state parks. I can assure you I have always been against this and as Governor I would actively oppose any such proposal”. ; Vaughn P. Clipp of Bloomipgton wrote a typical letter and said: "I want to voice disapproval of any bill to kill off doves or sell beer in state parks. To do either is a sin against God and man. I am urging all farmers to post their farm against hunting of any kind. My farms are posted and I dare anyone to kill a dove on mv farm". THE BEAUTIFUL multiflora hedges of rose blossoms are more and more common in Indiana. This hedge was imported from Korea on the grounds that it would not spread. Alas there is another side to the coin. The multiflora seedlings may be obtained from the department of conservation at $6.12 per thousand. The state conservation department has boosted this hedge as "horse high, bull strong, and’goat tight”, obtain- | ing its growth in about five years. It i is a haven for birds’ nests, averaging I 63 to the mile. However, the U. S. department of agriculture wrote me a tetter saying multiflora is not being pushed be- ! cause of complaints over the USA ■ that it is spreading. Its friends and foes have rushed to its defense and condemnation. I have s had letters aplenty out of the area I around Plymouth and in Porter coun- , ty about the fight made to -eradicate spreading multiflora. Birds and wind have carried its seeds into pastures and orchards. The roots are deep, most tenacious are hard to dig out. j When an orchardist complained bitterly to Ralph Wilcox about it spreading he went to Purdue university. Some of. the bioloigsts there told him with time the multiflora would ! become as great a pest as wild blackberry vines. Other biologists teaching 'in high schools have written to del fend it. _j 1_ Jon Alan Roberts Is Entrant In Stock Exposition I CHICAGO — Jon .Alan Roberts, a ; 15-year-old Kosciusko county Future Farmers of America boy of Syracuse, I is among the early entrants from Indiana in the 1964 International Live Stock Exposition to be held here November 27 to December 5.
