America recalls the Great Depression

By FLOYD FITHIAN Comparing present times to past is almost as much an American tradition as the Thanksgiving turkey, and this year has been no exception. Much comment has been made about 1979 being the 50th anniversary of the start of the Great Depression. Many members of my generation can recall the Great Crash of October, 1929, and the days which followed. As a young boy I had to learn quickly how to manage our farm as my father often had to seek work elsewhere. People of my parents’ generation can remember well the dizzying stock market boom that preceded the Great Crash and the few alarms that were sounded. Some came from the Federal Reserve Board, but these were, for the most part, ignored. Many people, believing that inflation would not lead to hard times, plunged deeper and deeper into the stock market. Many people have observed similarities between the Great Crash and the recent rumblings of today’s stock market: tickets running late, record volume of trading, concerns about some sharp dips. But there are many differences between the Great Crash of 1929 and today. And much of the positive change has been due to the often-criticized role of government regulation. Thanks to government policy, a person who loses his or her job today will not necessarily go without income, but can be eligible for unemployment benefits. Savings accounts are insured by the government. Pensions and medical benefits are underwritten by the government. And food stamps and other family assistance benefits are provided by government. Despite much grumbling about federal spending and “interference”, most Americans today would not like to see these kinds of programs terminated. We have grown to want and need many government programs that, 50 years ago, were considered radical and revolutionary. Yet ironically the government which does so much for its people today has less support than the government of the 1930’s which saw its people stand in bread lines. Many of today’s programs are both taken for granted and criticized for doing too little. We have in part become a generation where much is taken for granted. We borrow too much, we save too little, and things considered essential to today’s middle-class family, such as a second car, a vacation cottage, a second — and third — television set, were only for the very wealthy some years ago. Americans do have reason today to find fault with their government. But a comparison of it with the government of the Depression years should give us many reasons to be thankful and proud. For in these years we have joined hands to create programs which meet the needs of the American people. We can always improve our system of government. But honest reflection on the past 50 years can yield as well many reasons to praise it, to be thankful for it, and to find hope in it for the future. Energy Tip One of the best ways to save energy is to simply turn some energy users off. Light bulbs are the symbols of conservation, but other things can save money, too. One example is the anti-sweat heater in refrigerators, which can add nearly $lO to the annual electric bill. Keeping the switch in the “dry” position (except in

summer when humidity is high) will cut down on electricity use — and electricity bills. . Other good “turn-offs” are: 1. pilot lights on gas furnaces during non-winter months; savings, $lO a year. 2. unplugging a second refrigerator when not really needed; savings, S2O-S4O a year. 3. water heaters can be turned off when you leave the house for a weekend or longer. And furnace or heating system thermostats can be set back when you are gone for more than four hours. Record high form exports are expected Officials of the U.S. Department of Agriculture indicate that 1979 farm exports will reach the record $32 billion previously forecast for the fiscal year which ended September 30 and they expect the record-breaking activity to continue in 1980. According to recent reports, the value of agricultural exports for fiscal 1980 will range between $35 and S4O billion. A dramatic increase is also seen in export volume, with major bulk commodities reaching 145 million metric tons — compared to 128 million for fiscal 1979. Reasons for USDA’s strong export projections include the reduced Soviet and European grain crops, continued strong demand for livestock feeds and products, and sustained economic growth in a number of developing countries. Feed grains and wheat will be the big export gainers, according to the report, but sales of soybeans and rice will also be larger. Cotton and tobacco exports are expected to decline. “The current strong export outlook, of course, could be dampened by transportation problems here and abroad, and the weather during the next 12 months. At this point, U.S. crops are in excellent condition and export supplies appear plentiful,” the report stated. USDA officials say the increaed export activity will be good for the economy and for farm income. Farmers depend on foreign markets as an outlet for much of their production and increased agricultural exports help offset the cost of imported goods and reduces the trade deficit. THEINOW INSULATION When proved performance is one of the factors considered in selecting a type of home insulation, mineral fiber clearly outdistances other materials. It has been produced in the United States for more than 100 years.

■fc J-

The first company to manufacture the insulation began operations in Stanhope, N.J., in 1875. It made mineral fiber from iron slag that remained after the manufacture of cannons used in the Civil War. In 1888, Building, a magazine for architects, wrote, “A filling of mineral wool in the ground floor protects against the dampness of the cellar; between the studding, it will prevent the extraction of the warmth of the interior; in the roof, it will retain the heat which arises.” Today, mineral fiber is either fiber glass or rock wool. Mineral fiber accounts for about 70 per cent of all the home insulation used, according to the U. S. Department of Commerce.

Carl Meditch Syracuse “Yes, I’d favor it if the money could be used for a worthwhile project for the community and state. Like highway rubbish clean-up and state park maintenance. It also would make litter bugs think twice before throwing it out the window.” Pat Merchant Syracuse “Yes. I’m in favor of that. There are people who sometimes take the bottles out and will say they will return them but will forget about, bringing them back.”

After cement had been thrown through the sign, it became weakened and later blew over due to the high winds Monday. Total damage was approximately SSOO.
