High Living Standards To Continue,
Hotel Man Here Says Records Show
Indications of continued high
living standards for the Amer
ican neoDle are borne out bv the
stability of the nation's hotel
business, according to Ray W.
Clark, manager of the Medford
hotel here.
"Although down slightly from
a year ago, most owners and op
erators of hostelries across the
country are enjoying a fair re
turn on tneir investments ana
have stopped crying the blues,"
Clark said.
'Barometer'
He went on to say that lead
ers in other major industries
shared this optimistic outlook be
cause of the financial health of
the over 6,000 recognized hotels
belonging to the American Hotel
association has long been recog
nized as an overall barometer
of the nation's economy. Nearly
every national business cycle in
history can be charted around
the status of the hotel business,
he said, pointing out that the fi
nancial crash in 1929 was im
mediately preceded by a sharp
slump in hotel occupancy.
"As things now stand," Clark
stated, 'everything is going along
calmly and steadily and that's a
good sign. Except for some hap
penings beyond the control of
the American businessman, I be
lieve it is reasonable to predict
that 1950 will prove to be a
banner year for everyone.
Many At Work
"For one thing," he continued,
"despite many faults in our way
of life, we still have over 59.
000.000 people gainfully cm
ployed and they are enjoying
themselves by taking more va
cations and seeing more of this

learning the enjoyments and
benefits of splitting their va
cations and in taking them dur
ing ott-peaK seasons.
"This trend." he added, "is a
great boon to everyone con
cerned. The traveler or vaca
tionist gets more enjoyment at
lower costs: merchants benefit
from a steady stream of patron
age; factories need not shut
down because of the midsummer
exodus of workers to vacation
lands, and hotels, too. naturally
benefit from the travel."
Speaking of travel and the
changing trend reminded Clark
of the fact that in 1900 there
were 17,000,000 horses-and 8,000
automobiles, and in 1949 there
are 6,000,000 horses and 44,
000.000 automobiles.
He said that in 1900 people
traveled about a distance of 200
miles a year from home. In 1949
they traveled an average 10,000
miles.

A Nichols' Worth of
Comment On
By HARMAN
Unitad Prau
Washington, Jan. 16 (U.R)
In case you haven't heard of it,
the latest dance rage is called
the "La Ras

swing it, and
you kind of
square dance
it.
I'm no Fred
A s t a i r e, but
when I kick up
a heel I like to
wheel with the
best. So I
asked Anne
Sherman of the
A lVt i, t i a v
Harmao Nichols s 'hool of Da.
cing to take a couple of turns
with me.
Anne was nicer than was nec
essary. She put up with my toe
stepping as we tripped the heavy
fantastic at the Carlton hotel's
Congo room.
Ramon Ramos, an orchestra
leader, put out a tune which has
fat ladies from the embassies and
skinny ones from the state de
partment in a tizzy.
Anne outlined the dance for
me this way:
Robbers Take $48,000

about $48,000 in cash and
checks.
Scene of the bold robbery was
the general cashier's office on
the mezzanine floor of the huge
hotel, just above the crowded
lobby.
One of the three shoved Cash
ier Georae Miles to the floor
while a confederate held Income
Auditor F. L. Whaler and a third
employee, Ralph De Loid, at
gun point. A third robber stood
guard at the office door.
The money, representing
week-end receints. had lust been
brought into the cashier's office
in the accounting department
from the main floor office. It
still was in the small leather bag
which Miles had used to trans
fer it to his office.

Lady Swishei Skirts
The guys hold their hands be
hind their backs and the lady
swishes her skirts. From here
on, it's Anne's description and
my reaction,
"You skip on every heavy
beat."
That got this old man because
I couldn't tell a heavy beat from
a light one. Anne said the bull
fiddle gave you the cue.
"You go through that for two
sequences. Then you lock right
arms, and put the left hand on
the hips. Whirl clockwise a
couple of times."
That sent me counter-clockwise
and fouled up the demon
stration for a moment.
"Lock left arms and go around
counter-clockwise."
There we went, the wrong
way again.
"Then you do the raspa. To
the music which sounds like rap-a-pa-rap-rap-a-oa-rap.

"The man twists the girl back

"Do a polka around your part

"Turn back to back hold up

The waltz was for me. I found
