Y'BLOOD IS HOSTESS TO MISSIONARY SOCIETY GLENDALE, May 28. The Oli vet Missionary society met Friday afternoon at the home of Mrs. H. B. Y'Blood. The devotional was given by Mrs. George Mill.

The mem- 'rom where I sit . . , r Joe Marsh Have you ever thought how much a million dollars really is? Sure is an awful lot of nice things a fellow could do with a million dollars . . if he had it. A million dollars is a lot of money. Just think ... it would take about three weeks, counting as fast as you could 24 hours a day, just to count up to a million. I read in the paper tho other day that the beer industry pays more than a million dollars u day in taxes . . . Federal, State and local. Every day . . . more than a ilhon dollars. I guess the government is glad to get that help these days, what with a war to win and pay for. Of course, not all of that beer tax money goes to the Federal govern ment. Quite a lot of it goes to the States and is used for such useful purposes as public health, emer gency relief, old age assistance, education and public welfare. Farmers surely ought to like the beer industry, too, from what I hear. Last year the brewers bought nearly two billion pounds of bar ley malt and nearly half a billion pounds of corn and corn products. And plenty of rice and hops, too. That's a lot of farm products. Back around '33 and '34, when the tough old depression was hitting all of us pretty hard, farmers were certainly glad to sell those extra crops that beer bought from them. And come to think of it, when beer came back it made lots of new jobs for plenty of other people, too. City folks and country folks both. If I hadn't gone in for this writ ing business, I think I'd like to have tried my hand at the brewing business. I'd like to be making a fine tast ing beverage that helps the public treasuries so much and that people can rightly call the "beverage of moderation." That moderation in cidentally is another of the fine things about beer. No. 42 of a Series Copyright '1942, Brewing Industry Foundation Homestead a Business!
