WAIT FOR SKIERS This collodion of ski gear at Heavenly
Valley, Calif., seems to be holding an animated conversation
alop the ski lift at the Sierra ski area while waiting for skiers.
The snow depths this year are building up and the season is
well under way in contrast to last year's late and short season
which saw many resorts closing due to lack of the white stuff.

Airport Expansion
Discussed by City

should lead to definite plans for
the improvement of the a i r

stated following a special Med

luncheon Thursday
Ned E. Nelson,

Nelson discussed the runway
length. He used as his basis a
five-year projection, which, can
only be an estimate, he said,
for many changes are taking
place. Consideration must be

an estimated $60,000 for land

ing the dead hopper up the slop
ing trunk of the tree. There
were at least 30 or 40 of them,
all pushing, shoving and pulling.
The hopper-body would get stuck
in a bark crevice; this would
bring the whole business to a
stop. Some of the ants would be
pulling on one end, while the
others were pulling against
Ihcm. After a great deal of back
breaking work they would gel
the carcass dislodged and begin
again the long, uphill climb.
"I could sec what Ihey were
aiming at, a hole in the tree
trunk about 10 feet above the
ground. There were several
hundred other ants going and
coming out of (he hole. They
paid no atlention to the working
parly pulling on the dcatl hop
per. Neither did any member of
the push-pull gang notice Hie
hurrying members of the com-ing-and-going
group.
"I'll grudgingly admit there
did seem to be some soi l of un
derstanding between Die push
ers and pullers and the comers
and goers. Each lo his own line
of work, il appeared.
"Those coming down Hie tree
trunk emply-jawed, would often
have to detour around the push-
pull bovs. but Ihcv never inter
fered with (hem, always giving
Ihcm plenty of leeway.
"The push-pull group finally
made il, they succeeded in got
ling the hopper right up to the
entrance of the anl-dcn. Here
again Ihey showed how dumb
Ihey really arc, fur the carcass
was loo big to go in the small
hole. Had Ihey been as smart as
they are suposed lo be Ihey
would have known that a three
inch body won't go into a quar
ter inch hole.
"But Ihey tried. They made
perfect tools of themselves, even
blocked Ihc entrance way sev
eral limes so the comers and
goers couldn't come or go.
"Too, the pushers interfered
wilh Ihc pullers, seemingly they
couldn't get together or coor
dinate their efforts, so Ihey
pushed the dead hopper around in
aimless circles. Once Ihc heavy
hopper body rolled over, pinning
an ant underneath. With 'an-ac-citlent-will-happen'
attitude the
others kepi on the silly pushing
and hauling. The injured ant
limped away. Hood enough for
him, I thought, he should have
pulled instead of pushing.
"As if by mutual agreement
they finally began biting pieces
from the big hopper and carry
ing them inside the hole. This
seemed to he work Ihey liked.
They look the hopper apart in
but a few minutes. Then, ap
parently the same bunch dis
played their dumbness again.
They began pushing and pulling,
dragging the skeleton of the
hopper down the tree trunk.
"It took the anls as long lo
pull il down as it had taken to
lug il up. They even fell into the
same crevices, and again, some
pulled when Ihey should have
pushed, or pushed when Ihey
should have pulled. One very
wise ant rode the skeleton
down; he never lifted a leg to
help. Once on the ground Ihey
all dropped the skeleton like it
was hot.

FINANCING THE DEFICIT IS KEY TO INFLATION
While President Johnson's no-kidding drive for a tight budget
is impressive and is virtually assuring passage of the lax re
duction bill within 90 days, the hard budget facts still are:
The new budget wiil be at a peak for war or peace; the
Treasury will become a huge borrower in the last half ot 1964
to finance another multi-billion dollar deficit; the national debt
will climb to a new high; the legal ceiling on the debt will be
raised again.
Nothing Congress will do will change these four (acts. The
heart ot the budget story lies then in this one question and
answer.
.: Will the (act lhat the budget will be splattered with
red ink at a time when taxes are being slashed and the econ
omy is in a strong rise set off a new round of inflationary price
increases, thereby sharply undermine your dollar's buying pow
er and its stability abroad?
A.: This will be determined by the extent to which the
cash to cover the deficit is borrowed outside the U.S. banking
system and by whether interest rates are high enough to en
courage foreign owners of dollars to keep their funds invested
in this country.
This may seem lorbiilding financial bafflegab, but you
must not (link the explanation, for upon the answer will
tlrucml no less than the value of the dollar you earn and
save, the eost of all goods and services yon buy, Ihe very
survival of today's economic system.
In the simplest terms I can manage, here is the explan
ation :
(1) When the Treasury borrows money lo finance a deficit
from non-bank investors individual savers, U.S. corporations,
foreign investors it controls the inflationary pressures im
plicit in the fact lhat it is pouring many more billions into our
economy than it is taking out in taxes. This is because the
Treasury is tapping the nation's savings, and obviously savings
invested in U.S. securities aren't available for spending and,
therefore, don't put extraordinary pressures on prices.
All you need do is think of what happens when you invest
in a S'J3 U.S. savings bond. As long as you hold that bond, you
don't have the cash to spend on things. As it is with you, so
it is with Ihe gianl investors who buy billions of the U.S. Gov
ernment's lOUs.
Also, when the level of short-term interest rates in the U.S.
is high enough lo attract buying of our government's securi
ties by foreign owners of dollars, they keep their money in
vested here. Thev are not tempted to demand gold in exchange
for Iheir dollar balances, and thus the stability of our dollar is
not endangered.
C! Bui when Ihe Treasury borrows money to finance a
deficit from the U.S. banking system, il "creates'' new money
which lays (he base for inflationary price rises. This is because
banks jiisl place a deposit in the Treasury's name on their
books when Ihey buy new Treasury obligation and Ihe banks
put up only a fraction of their own funds to finance their pur
chase. As the Treasury spends Ihe money in its deposit account,
the newly created cash flows into the hands of Americans from
coast to coast and pushes against the available supply of goods
and services.
Also, when this rxlra money floods into Ihe economy, it
naliirallv lends lo hold down interest rates. The combina
tion of low Inleresl rales and price increases encourages
foreign owners of our dollars lo take Iheir money home, drain
our gold supply, and this endangers Ihe stability of our
dollar.
In recent years Ihe Treasury has financed our vast deficits
primarily outside the U.S. banking system. The Federal Re
serve has permitted interest rales to rise and foreign owners
of dollars are now keeping their money invested here. Despite
our budget deficits, inflation has been curbed and the outflow
of our gold has dwindled.
Now will come the great test of 10IM-65 a budget defi
cit, a massive tax cut. a strong economy. Can we still control
inflation and Ihe gold outflow?
The dangers will be real, but "I think we can do it." says
Reserve Board Chairman Martin, and the While House agrees
lhat whatever steps arc necessary to achieve this must be taken.
It means:
The Treasury will tailor its 101s to attract non-bank investors
here and abroad and the Federal Reserve will keep the lid
on Ihe money supply.
Inleresl rales are on the way up.

CITY SANITARY SERVICE.
Some people think it never needs service.
It's easy to gel that impression.
How many other makes Have been
driven 60,000 miles with Ihe original
pistons and cylinders intact? How many
ordinarily get 40.000 miies on the same
ti res?
That doesn't mean the Volkswagen
never needs service. It does.
To get the most out if it, have your
VW serviced regularly. We call it pre
ventive maintenance. We'll give you a
book on preventive maintenance for
the first 30,000 miles you drive. And
every 30,000 miles after that.
In the book for new VWs, for instance,
coupons start you off with Iwo free
maintenance services. One at 300 miles.
One at 3,000 miles. Alter that, the cou
pons remind you to bring your VW in
(or specified services at regular inter,
vols. It's the best way to keep your VW
in top shape.
Service is so important that Volks
.wagen won't sell cars where they can't
be properly handled. By factory-trained
mechanics. Like ours.
Parts are economical and quickly in.
Hailed.
There isn't a Volkswagen made thai
you can't get parts for easily. Most ore
interchangeable from year to year. (You
can have a 1963 fender put on your '68
model with 10 bolts. It fits perfectly.)
We pride ourselves on this fact: Our
service is as good as the cor.
Ask anybody.
