"H5 stubborn Cnule, according
to legend, wa Irked by the In
coming UUes. Ho he undertook to
handle the alluauou by decree, lie
took hie aland on Uie beach and
ordered the tide to quit coming in.
According to Uie alory that haa been
handed down to u, the tide kept
right on coming and Canute had
to move bark up the beach to keep
from gelling hta (eet wet.
President Truman waa annoyed by
(lit creeping tide ol InllaUoii. which
threatened to upaet our apple carl.
Alao, he waa cuiuldrrably ael up
by hi generally unexpected Unci,
elide election. So, Ilk Canute, lie

He demanded hta price and wage
control. But the Intlatloiury line
wasn't blulled. ll kept runt en
creeping up the beach until It
reached the atag ol flood and then
It began to recede acting Juit as
the udt did in Uia ca ol Canui.

pKESIDr.NT TRUMAN haa acted

be undertaken at una time."
Me adda:
- W can not expect to aihlete a
