Tips for holiday mailing

If there is someone that was missed when sending Christmas cards or gifts, send it by express mail. The charges depend on whether the item has to picked up at the post office or delivered to the house. Also express mail depends on whether there is air transportation close-to the mailing or receiving end. If no airport is near, the other choice would probably be special delivery. A mailgram can be sent by phoning the message, with a total of no more than 100 words, to Western Union which transmits it to the post office and delivery is the next day. Then there’s bus express. Greyhound and Trailways will ship packages in their baggage compartments on scheduled Swedish fun Swedish children have a unique Christmas decoration in which a straw goat is ready to butt any child who is not “good" during the holidays. Also if the candles stay lit on a Christmas Eve it is a sign of “good luck.’’

court facility: "The Greater Warsaw Area Chamber of Commerce takes a public position on the need for an additional court to serve Kosciusko County The position of the chamber is to encourage the addition of a new court for Kosciusko County. “The courts are normally selfsupporting and the court ot Kosciusko County has enjoyed a very positive reputation. The Chamber through its representation of business concerns brings to your attention that many of the small clqim cases filed are bylocal businessmen. It is felt that the addition of a new court would maintain the current level of excellence. but shorten the lapsed time between the filing of the case and its disposition. This is a very important aspect to the local business community .”

It's our business — Foreign trading picture improving

By R-L. KOHLS WEST LAFAYETTE. - A major economic theory of world trade holds that cheaper American dollars will stimulate foreign demand for U.S. goods and discourage U.S. demand for foreign goods. We are beginning to see this theory operate in our foreign trade situation. In world trade, the prices of one country’s products as they are sold in another country reflect the exchange rate of the currency of the two countries. For example, let’s assume that the dollar, which previously exchanged for four German marks, now exchanges for two German marks. The dollar's value has fallen 50 percent relative to the German mark. Previously, anything costing a dollar was priced at four marks in Germany. This same product now is priced at two marks Therefore, the prices of our exports to Germany have fallen. On the other hand, any German product previously costing four marks was priced at one dollar in the United States This same four marks product now costs two dollars. Thus, the prices of foreign imports in the U.S. have increased. With a normal reaction of buyers to price changes, this fall in the exchange value ot the dollar should increase the

Natural Resources Committee. “Senator Augsburger, through his experience as a small businessman, has the qualities which are needed to serve on a committee such as agriculture, and small business,” said Garton. “The experience he brings to his committees provides all senators access to a muchneeded and very valuable resource. Senator Augsburger is a very knowledgeable and capable man and contributes a great deal to the work of the

sale of our exports and decrease the purchase of foreign imports. The dollar increased greatly in value against the currencies of our foreign trading partners during 1981-85. And the expected happened. Our merchandise exports to foreign countries fell 9 percent. Merchandise imports from foreign countries rose 32 percent. The income of our farmers fell sharply as foreign sales declined. Our textile, steel and auto industries were hard hit, too, by the flood of lower priced foreign imports. During the past several months. the dollar has fallen sharply relative to the currencies of several major countries of the world For example, the dollar has lost about 40 percent of its value against the German mark and the Japanese yen compared to early 1985. This declining value of the dollar has been headline news. Farmers have waited impatiently for the expected pick-up in the export of farm products. Our textile and steel industries have waited impatiently for the expected relief from foreign import competition. Up until midyear, however, not much happened In fact, the trade deficit for all of 1986 may turn out to be higher than it was in 1985 Since July, we have felt a slight breeze of relief.

figures indicate that the U.S. trade deficit declined in August and September. Exports rose slightly while imports fell The expected results from the cheaper dollar are beginning to materialize Many hurdles, however, stand in the way of major and immediate improvement in our foreign trade situation. First, the dollar has not declined equally against the currencies of all our trading partners. For example, it has changed little in relationship to the Canadian dollar (our biggest trading partner) and to the currencies of many important Asiatic countries. The dollar has declined only about 10 percent on a trade weighted basis. Second, foreign producers are not going to give up easily their newly won markets without a competitive fight. New foreign agricultural producers are not easily going to quit. Japanese auto manufacturers and Korean clothing makers are not going to give up easily their increased sales to wealthy American customers. The question is still open whether American farmers, businessmen and labor are willing to meet the increased com petition of foreign producers Finally, world trade is not the free-trade competitive game oi economic text books Rather, it is played in a world market full of

Is the U.S. willing to play hardball in this market ball park of the real world 9 Add an evergreen If you’re wanting a year-round Christmas tree, have a nurseryman save a balled-and-burlapped evergreen and deliver it near Christmas. After the tree arrives, let the ball soak up some water in a tub later removing the burlap and letting the excess water drain. Then wrap the ball in a sheet of plastic and tie securely. The foliage can be sprayed with an antidesiccant which can be purchased at garden centers This solution will also be good for cut trees. It dries io a thin, transparent film allowing carbon dioxide and oxygen passage to continue, yet it helps prevent the drying of needles. The tree can be placed indoors a couple of days before Christmas but do not keep inside for more than a week. After the holidays, plant it in a hole and mulch it to keep it from freezing
