BOY SCOUT WEEK
Boy Scout Week, celebrated from February 8 to 14,
is an occasion when the American people should really stop,
look and listen.
They should stop to realize just what a great work is
being done bv the Boy Scouts of America in building bet-
ter character:' in our rising generation. They should look
at the results already obtained and they should listen to
the plea for greater cooperation and support of this out-
standing youth movement.
There is always a need for men who have the interests
of American youth at heart to serve as leaders--to help
prepare the boys of today to be good citizens of t0morrm;.
The Boy Scouls of America is an ideal channel ,thrbugh
which to inculcate in many of out' young people the prin-

Once more the farmer is being asked to break
all food production records. To plow more acres,
feed more liv'estock and harvest more crops than
ever before. He is being asked to do this so that
America may .continue to feed and clothe the
needy throughout the world, as well as our own
folks at home.
To carry out this job the farmer must have
tools of production. Most: of those he owns have
taken a terrific beating. They can't be tied
together much longer with rusty fence wire.
In the teeth of this situation, the farmer ran
intO a strike in the steel: industry--a strike which
hit at the heart of food production.
When the steel plants shut down, manufac-
turers of farm machinery and equipment, farm
trucks and traitors cannot get steel for their
products,
This year the farmer won't receive as many
o5 the replacements he desperately needs, He'll
fight ahead with his old, broken machinery try-
ing to crack another food production record, but
the cards are stacked against him.
All this means more keadaches for the far-
mer- loss of vital food production, and a bad
dent in his pocketbook.
:Facts Too Frequently Omitted
The steel strike was called by the United
Steelworkers of America -- CIO, which insists
on a wage increase totaling $166,000,000.. he
U, S, Steel Corporation has offered; a wage rise
which if applied throughout the industry would
amount to $135,000,000.
Steel,worlcers are already among the highest
paid wage-earners in America. Before the strike
their average earnings were approximately $1.1.6
an hour, $9.26 a day and $46.32 a week -- on a
forty-hour week. The U. S. Steel offer would have
given them about $1..31 an hour, $10.46 a day and
g5 ') : a week. But they refused it, and accused
the steel industry of conspiring to ruin the mlion
with an offeredwage increase of $25 a month, the
highest increase in the industry's history.
The strike is a direct violation of the contract
between the union .and the steel companies. The
union wanted a long-term contract and got it.
The union agreed not to strike during the life of
the contract. Yet, the union struck on January 21.
Fighting for a Way of Life
Farmers have a big stake in continuous steel
production. They have an opportunity to say
What they think about uimhecked labor monop-
olies which bring to a stop the nation's recovery
efforts, .through excessive wage demands which
could only add to inflation and cause soaring
prices.
Not until enough of them protest unfair, dicta-
torial actions and urge proper safeguards against
arrogant, heedless union leadership and one-.
sided labor:laws will the country get back to sane,
profitable production where everyone works to-
gether toward a better standard of living.

genius.
The work in the electrical field which he inaugurated
and so ably advanced has been carried on by others who
are constantly finding better and more inexpensive means
of transmitting electric energy for heat, power and light.
This constant improvement is one of the big reasons why
the cost of electricity has gone down so steadily over the
years. Our electrical dollar,is worth twice what it was just
20 years ago.
Of Thomas Edison it must be said that few men in
history have contributed so much to the advancement of
science and the improvement of our living staridards. Be-
cause of his genius the world is a better ancl, literally, a
brighter place in which to live.
ABRAHAM LINCOLN
Although more than four score years have passed since
that fateful night in April, 1865, when an assassin's bullet
cut short the earthly career of Abraham Lincoln, his place
in the hearts and minds of his countrymen as one of the
nation's great heroes was never more secure.
This tall, gaunt man with the deep-set, brooding eyes,
who was born in a humble log cabin and rose to the highest
office in the land, was no ordinary individual. Yet few per-.
sons in Americanhistory have so embodied the noble qual-
ities of the common man as did he.
His genial wit and wisdom, his simplicity and earthi-
ness, his patience and humility his love of country andhu,
manitythese were the things that have so deeply endeared
llim to the people of America.
A cold ap-praisal of the historical records reveals that
Lincoln possessed no magic powers, and that at imes he
was bewildered, indecisive and blundering. Sometimes his
moods probed the depths of depression, at others, they-scal-
ed the heights of inspiration.
But through it all--through the ebb and. flow of his
spirits, his political and family fortuneshis true great-
ness gradually emerged until it reached full expression and
marked him as an outstanding figure of the ages.
In observing his 137th birthday anniversary on Febru-
ary 12, the American people honor him as the preserver
of the Union, as the friend of all humanity.
PEACE PRODUCTION
In the early and dismal days of our participation in
World War II, when victory seemed remote, we were told
that we would, win eventually because of our vast produc-
tivc capacity.
Well, the planes, guns, tanks and ships that finally
rolled ff the assembly lines enabled our forces to turn tlae
tide and win the victory.
But having von the war largely through fabulous pro-
duction why is it that we now believe we can win the peace
by shutting down our factories ?
Who believes that? Who wants the factories shut
down? "Nobody," says everybody. Then why are so mmay
vital factories shut down ? Because both labor and manage-
ment would rather see them closed than to yield ufficiently
to keep them open. And bec'ause the public is too indiffer-
ent to rise up and insist that they be kept open.
America's industrial plants can turn raft all the goods
we need and help supply the world, We have the mare
power; we have the "know how." But.unless we use what
we have, unless we get our factories humming and kee
them hummingwe are setting the stage for inflation affd
depression.
America, wake up! The gravest peacetime crisis con.
fronts you. Public opinion must force a quick and just
settlement of strikes threatening the national welfare. And
it must do it now. It's now or never!
1946 Egg Total
Won't Hit 1945
Record Volume
Farms egg production in 1946
is expected to be below the near
record 1945 output Of about 56
billipn .eggs, according to USDA
Bureau of Economic,% advises
County Agent Okerstrom. The
number of layerson lmnd on Jala-
uary 1946 will be somewhat lrg-
er than in January 1945, but with
lower egg prices in 1946" heavier
culling of flocks is epected. Un-
der the Steagall Anendnaent
pricks for eggs, chickens (except
broilers) and turkeys must be sup-
ported at not less than ninety
per cent of parity during 1946-27.
Although the supply Of poultry
meat for co.nsumer purchases will
be about the same as in 1945 it
is expected that the demand will
be less. With no indication of a
decrease in feed price s the egg-
fee ratio wili be much, less deMr-
able in 1946. "
Cash rceipts fronii'poultry' pro-
ducts are likely to declin,"mater -
icily from the all-time high of
1945. Over-all production will
likely be slightly smaller, but low-
er prlces especially for pggs, il
