By JAMES MARLOW and
GEORGE ZIELKE
WASHINGTON, Jan. 5.-MAP)
The foxes got stung, the eager
Beavers were nicked for plenty
and the tortoises won.
So, before you take down that
Christmas tree, remember the les
ton in It. The lesson doesn't end
ivith Christmas.
There was supposed to have
been a Christmas tree shortage.
Foxy dealers, figuring on a grand
buying rush, kited their prices:
$6, $7 and $8 a tree. .
Then eager-Beaver buys, with
money to spare or a fear they'd
miss a tree ,wcnt out and paid the
r.sklng price. ' '
But' fhe' tortoise-like - cautious
Tents, who preferred doing with-
' j'out to being gypped, stayed away
from the tree marts in droves.
About that time, as one OPA
official says, trees began flood
ing into the big cities.
The trees so exceeded the even
tual demand that the foxes had
to cut their prices to the bone
nd many wound up by having to
burn the trees,
So what? Two things: In the
first place OPA had put no ceiling
on trees because they were .not
essential. Secopd, OPA did not
ration the trees. '
- It was a free market and, as
t developed, for once the profi
teers miscalculated.
Plenty of people paid far too
much for the trees -they bought.
But plenty of people Ignored the
trees or waited till the price col
lapsed. ' 1
So what does the Christmas
tree story prove? Only this: , It
was a good illustration of what
could be expected in this country
If necessary commodities wore
unrutioned or were not jield under
price control.
There would be people fair
rnoagh to want to charge only a
fair price. Also there would
would have been ppople anxious
;o get rich in a harry and there
ore glad to charge any price they
could get. ; ; . ,
There would be people foolish
.nough to pay the asking price no
nailer how high.' Those people
msM counter by saying: "We're
tot saps. We have money to
:;Fnd. We'll spend it on what
we want." . . ,
, And there is the third group,
fhe people without , money to
spire, who would have had to sit
:r.k and watch the unequal dis
tribution of goods.

A TRIBUTE TO THE
.33 ;
AT the beginning of a new year we pay tribute to
-aV those loyal citizens who serve behind the retail
counters of America.
Shortages, complications of rationing, the fact that
many of their number are in the armed services, m;ike
their job today more difficult than ever.
' Despite all of this the retail selling job has its high
'rewards I
Good retail salespeople like their work) They like
to meet and serve people! They take pride in each
ale well made! And they know that on the home
front they support the war effort by helping to
. maintain our high standard of living.
Try to imagine, for a moment, how your family's
daily needs food, clothing and household supplies
could be taken care of if all the retail salespeople
Wert suddenly spirited away I
During 1944 we will do our best to ma!:e pleasant
' and profitable the work of the people who meet and
greet you in Penney stores.
Not only that, but as a genuine community service
we shall put into their hands, for you, the maximum
off slue and quality that war conditions allow.
