SHOT IIEAKB KOI \|) THE
‘Go Metric’ Says Industry Expert to Increase Exports
Efforts to ItooHt the volume
of U.S. exports are being
hampered by the nation’s
failure to switch from the
English system of weights
and measures to the metric
system, a petroleum industry
executive said.
W Andrew Wright, re
search scientist with the Sun
<hl Co, Marcus Hook. Pa.,
pointed out that moat of the
world, is already using the
metric system grams, liters,
centimeters, etc.
"The world market,” he
said, “is in Europe, and else-
where, where expanding na
tional economies are produc
ing the growing market.
These markets are metric....
We no longer set the market
specifications. The situation
is now reversed and is be
coming one of the prominent
factors in the trade imbal
ance.”
Wright said it is inevitable
that the United States will
go metric "the real question
is: when ?”
"It is obvious," he added,
"that American industry is
recognizing the problem and
is no longer waiting for Con
gressional action. The U.S.
Bureau of Standards found
more than 70 per cent of bus
iness organizations in favor
of change some time ago."
"Since then, we see Ford

build a metric engine plant

are a never ending source of inspiration Corn starch plays
an important role in most kinds cf pies cream pies as well
as fruit pies. In the Strawberry Custard Tarts shown here, it
thickens the custard cream filling in the tart shells as well as
the shining clear glaze on the berries that top the tarts.
A good general guide for the right proportions of fruit,
sugar and corn starch for 9-inch berry pies is to mix together
% to 1 cup sugar and 2Vi tablespoons com starch with four
cups of berries. This basic berry pie Alling is good for straw
berries, blueberries, blackberries and raspberries and may be
used in deep dish as well as in double crust pies.
For Deep Dish Peach Pie, use 3 tablespoons corn starch
mixed with % to 1 cup sugar for 6 cups of peeled, sliced
peaches. Add */* teaspoon salt to the dry ingredients and
sprinkle % teaspoon almond extract over the sweetened fruit.
Bake berry pies and Deep Dish Peach Pie in a 425°F. oven
for from 35 to 45 minutes or until crust is browned.

Federal Spending Curbs
I rged by Secretary Dent
All concerned citizens
should support President
Nixon in his effort to hold
the line on federal govern
ment spending, according to
Secretary of ( ommerv«- Fred
erick B Dent
"The President has art as
a goal a non-inflationary
gropth rate in the economy
of 2.5 per cent by December
of this year.” Mr Dent ex
plained in an article in NAM
R»'|«>rta. a publication of the
National Association of Man
ufacturera "In 1972, the rate
had already been reduced to
3 per cent, the lowest of any
industrial nation in the
world "So." he wrote, "the
President's goal is in sight of
achievement provided, among
other actions, there is re
straint on federal spending ”
He said that the President
has stated that, if proposed
new sfa-nding programs are
enacted by Congress, "a tax
increase of as much as 15 p r
cent will be necessary to pre
vent a new burst of inflation ’’
"More is at stake than in
flation and taxes," Secretary
Dent warned "Restraint on
federal spending is highly

Bition w ill I m - enham ed by the

“Special interest groups
which have a vested stake in
the federal largesse- involved
are liomliarding the public
with sob stories proclaiming
that every program lala-led
‘anti poverty’ is responsible
for keeping the Nation from
burning down for the last
four summers.
Those who
make such charges are at
tempting to mislead the
American peopli- on the abil
ity of the programs to per

that have failed we will soon
run out of money for the pro
