Radio broadcasting still is taking in a, many dollarY m
before, although showing less profit.
- Many of the TV stations now going on the air break
even or show a profit almost from the start, in contrast
to the hardy pioneers who spent money like watc?
, l 1949 for instance, 98 TV stations and the ideo
networks lost more than 25 million dollars. The Federal
Commission in a prelimary report estimates TV broad
casting showed a net income in 1952 of 54U million
dollars, before federal income taxes. Of the 108 stations
on the air the full year, only 14 lost money
The biggest factor in the changed situation is the
tremendous increase in the number of sets in the hands of
the public From less than 122,220 at the start of 1949
to an estimated 22 million now.
That, in turn, was due to more and improved programs!
and to sets with bigger picture at lower prices Five
years ago you had to pay about 375 for a set with a
picture tube 10 inches across. A vastly better set with
with-a 17-inch picture tube now ean be bought for $200
or less. "
Radio broadcasting has continued to increase its dollar
volume of business, but has had to split it among more
stations, im revenue irom local programs and spot com
mercials had showed a slow but steady decline.

Milk Price Differential
Rapped by Merchants
Portland VP) The Portland
milk price store differential
one cent off on two-quart pur
chases which is to go in effect
April 16, was criticized Mon
day by the Oregon Food Mer
chants Association.
Howard McAnulty, secretary
of the 1,000-member organiza
tion, said that stores which
grant the differential will have
to cut their margin of profit
from the present 2 cents to
1 cents.
The differential, which
would permit stores to sell two
quarts of milk for one cent less
than dairies charge for deliv
ery, was approved last week by

McAnulty said the differen
tial should have come out of
the distributors' margin. Dis
tributors, he said, could make
it up with more efficient distri
bution practices. But he said
this plan was opposed by "in
terests that want home delivery
subsidized at the expense of
store sales."
He also criticized the board's
decision to ask the Legislature
for a milk control law amend
ment to restore the. board's
Dower to restrict distribution
licenses. The Supreme Court
recently said the board was act
ing illegally in making such re
strictioQS.
The amendment which the
board is seeking would "great
ly increase the alarming trend
toward monopoly" in the milk
business, McAnulty said.

Happiness Is hero and alwayi
available to everyone, Theo
dore Wallach of Chicago told a
largo audience last pight in a
Christian Science lecture. .
The key to happiness is spir
itual understanding, ho said.
He described, this understand
ing as the consistent' recogni
tion of man's relationship to
God which blesses and heals. .
Mr. Wallach spoke under
sponsorship of First Church ot
Christ, Scientist in the Senior
High School Auditorium where
Mrs. Marjorle Chambers intro
duced him. His subject was
'Christian Science: The Key to
Happiness."
One finds happiness by find
ing out the truth about hlm-1
self, his real nature and char
acter but this truth Is far
different from external appear
ances, he said.
Mr. Wallach said the ordin
ary material view of man and
the universe is being doubted
today by many natural scien
tists and physicists. Some of
them now conclude that mat
ter is not the basic substance of
all things, and that everything
is basically mental. '
Christian Science goes even
further, ho aaid. It holds that
consciousness Is fundamen
tal that by bringing our
thinking Into lino with . the
basic laws governing the uni
verse, God's spiritual laws, we
can bring good Into our expert.
ence and overcome' evil. That
brings happiness.
The lecturer stressed that
these ' basic laws are divine
laws laws making available
unlimited good to man, and ox.
pressing the unchanging divine
Principle, the origin or cause
of all things. He said Principle
is another name for God or the
divine Mind.
As set forth by Mr. Wallach,
man in his .true nature and
character expresses this Prin
ciple and its laws. It Is by cor
recting one's thinking accord'
ingly that one can remove
evil traits, bring to light his
true immortal selfhood, and
thus attain happiness.
Explaining how happiness
can be found according to
Christian Science, Mr. Wallach
Indicated the method Is by sys
tematic and persistent correc
tlon of individual thought to
bring it into line with divine
Truth. ' '
This Involves rejecting as
fraudulent such thoughts as
fear,, selfishness, discourage
ment, resentment ' replacing
them with Godlike thoughts
and qualities such as love, un
selfishness, courage and gener
osity.
Lasting happiness somes
from obedience to well-de
fined spiritual law, according
to Mr. Wallach. "There is
Principle of happiness and ex
istence which you can apply

told the audience. "This Prin

"Happiness is the natural,
reasonable effect of spiritual
understanding," he said;
"We must cultivate a whole
new outlook on existence based
on spiritual values," said Mr.
Wallach. By this means it is
possible to develop the capa
city, which he termed "spirit
ual sense, to recognize and
know the presence, power, law
and goodness of God.
With this spiritual sense, one
is enabled to "reject a material
sense of existence, to nullify
every unlovely, ungodlike
characteristic, trait, and de
sire, to blot out fear and all
the falsely educated beliefs in
the reality of disease," he said,

One of the perplexing prob

writer is how to deal kindly
with the occasional correspond
ent who considers the astrono
mers are all wrong and that
one who has had very little
study in science and mathe
matics has discovered the solu
tion to the universal mysteries.
The late Dr. E. B. Frost, the
noted astronomer of Yerkes ob

of one of his public lectures a
woman was heard to say, "I
don't believe a word of itl They
just don't know a thing about
it!" , . ; .. . .r
Few today take this extreme
attitude. Multitudes who have
had little opportunity to study
the Intricate, methods used in
determining the distances, mo
tions, temperatures, and masses
of the heavenly bodies, never
theless believe that the scien
tific discoveries are worthy of
respect.
Popular articles can state
only the final conclusions and
must omit the involved mathe
matical calculations employed.
Trained Investigators are in
agreement on the methods used
and believe that anyone with
equal opportunity would reach
the same conclusions had he the
ability and willingness to go
through the years of severe
mental stress needed to master
the subject involved.

About the same time Aretos
