That’s living up the money that has been .put away to buy the seed for next year’s crops. Although G-E turbines and lamps and refrigerators don’t grow from any seed you can buy at a seed store, yet any manu facturer—no matter what he makes-has a seed problem just the same. For next yeatfc models, and improved designs, and new products-all these cost money. Money for research, and engineering, and new tqols, and advertising to tell the public where a product can be obtained, and how milch it will cost. And the only place this money can come from is out of past earnings, or borrowing on the promise of earnings in the future. In other words—from seed money. From the seed of research and engineering, planted in y^ars past by General Electric, have come some pretty amazing crops. Incandescent lamps five times as efficient as Edison's, vacuum tubes that made radiobroadcasting possible, refriger ators for the home and electric machines for industry to make important jobs easier. Right now the crops we’re growing are all of the “Victory Garden” kind-weapons that are serving with our armed forces on land and sea and in the air. But we mustn’t neglect the seed money for the future. We’re looking forward to the continuance of the industrial system that will allow us to open up and cultivate other new and prom ising fields. So, tomorrow, look for important developments in television, fluorescent lighting, plastics, electronics. These will be familiar words in the post war world.

Spend* Vacation Here---- Visits to School— above chart, showing how the average Amerienn fared In T HE national Income changes in the ¡ast twelve months 13 based on the monthly consumers' study of In vestors Syndicate of Minneapolis. The American Public in Decem ber had a “real income” of $1.30, or an Increase of thirty cents on the dollar over the same 1941 month. This "real Income” is not a sub traction of cash income and expen ditures but an average relative of these figures designed to show how living costs affect adjusted Income dollars. Cash Income of the American public in December was $1.40 for every $1 a year earlier. This gain of forty cents on the dollar re sulted from the following changes per dollar: wages up forty-seven cents, other Income up thirty-seven cents, and salaries thirty-four cents on the dollar. Investment income at 87 cents was down thirteen cents. Rents in December were up one cent over a year ago. Clothing was up eleven cents and food was up seventeen cents. Miscellaneous items were two cents higher than in December. 1941.

Benefit Veterans hospital Return* An idle can of grease is worth a certain amount of money, but is of no value to your car; that is until it is used on your car. When that is done by an expert in lubricating, the grease will immedi ately begin to be of value—your car will run more smoothly. Frequent lubrications will mean much in keeping it permanently in good condition Save gas, tires, and time by doing all your grocery buying at King’s. This store has everything you need in meats, fruits, vegetabl es, canned goods, and all other groceries. To further reduce trips, do several day’s shopping at one time and arrange to share your trips with your neighbors. You’ll find that they also prefer King’s. attent / on ; Just Arrived!

And here’s something • that strikes me funny. All this worrying seems to be about the boys’ conduct around the camps here in this country. You never hear a word of worrying about them drink ing when they go abroad. Kind of queer, isn't it, Ned?”
