The term first was used In railroad sig naling in 1832. The signal consisted of a big ball suspended from the top of a lookout post. When the ball was raised to the top of the post, it meant "all's clear — keep going.” Thus the expression, "give him the highball,” arose. This system pre vailed until electricity brought cen tralized signals. 1590--WBRY-96 3:00—Mary Marlin 3.13—Columbia Masterworka of Mimic 3:45—News 4:00—Service ^Ime, li’a Maritime 4:30—CBS Program 3:00—Sing Along Club 3:30—Terry Allen and the Roi • Hint era 3:45—Swing For Your Supper 0:00—Quincy Howe and the News 6:15—Kdwln C.

Back in 1G20 we griped about the cold winters — and built New England. We griped about the hot summers—and built the South. We griped about the forests—and turned them into wagons and bridges and homes. We griped about Indian maize - and invented corn bread and bourbon. We gripe d about the stagecoac h — and put the steam engine together. We griped about sailing around the Horn-and dug the Panama Canal. We griped about yellow fever— and found a cure for it. ★ ★ ★ We're still griping. In the army, the navy, the air force—we gripe. The Germans call us the "I want to go home” soldiers. They’re right. We do want to go home— home to the best country on earth. That’s why we fight so hard. Fight and gripe. Take Rome and Cherbourg and Saipan. And gripe. ★ ★ ★ Back home we gripe*, too. Labor gripes because it wants more money. Investors gripe because they want more generous dividends. Consumers gripe because they want more for their money. Management gripes because it’s caught in the middle and finds it harder and harder to make ends meet. And that’s good. Because the sum of all these gripes represents our restlessness, our dissatis faction with things as they are, our itch to do better and better and better. And that’s how improvement is born. For—in satisfying all the gripes, including its own—management raises money for more effi cient machinery, so that labor can produce better y goods at lower prices. This enables the consumer to buy more. And that results in more jobs, higher wages and fair profits. That’s the American way—born of griping. Griping and a willingness to cooperate. * ★ ★ Right now we have the greatest productive capacity in all history. Much of it was built for war—and will have to be rebuilt for peace. In rebuilding it, however, we must take steps to make sure we will be able to buy all the many things that our factories and farms can produce. And that can be done. Not through govern ment handouts—which result only in more and more debt. But by using our productive capacity to provide us with more for our money in the things we buy, so that we can buy more—and thus create more jobs and more earnings for all. This is the “process of prosperity.” Indeed, by making full use of this country's limitless energy and ambition, we can help lead the world into an era of peace and plenty greater than any yet seen. Two things are necessary to realize this oppor tunity. One is a liberal, forward-thinking policy on the part of business. The other is public cooperation. Business is pledged to do its part — first, by increasing the opportunities for all to earn and, second, by increasing the opportunities for all to buy. To increase the opportunities Jor all to earn, business pledges a just and enlightened wage policy, and the opening of every possible avenue of advancement for the worker. It proposes to proceed at the earliest possible moment with the starting of new ventures and the expansion of old in order to provide more jobs for more people — including returning servicemen and demobilized war workers. It proposes to put into workers’ hands the most efficient tools available—so that a worker, by increasing his production, may add still fur ther to his earnings. To increase the opportunities Jor all to buy, business proposes to make full use of the tech nological “know how” it has accumulated during the war to put on the market the finest produc ts that can be made, at the lowest prices for which they can lie sold. It proposes to seek, through unending study and research in the fields of production and distribution, every possible means for lowering prices still further over the yean?, so that more of the good things of life can be enjoyed by more and more of the people. It proposes to encourage full and free competi tion to avoid restraint of trade and so assure better and better values. ★ ★ ★ This is business's program for the future. To bring it about as quickly as possible will require your help. For its accomplishment will need legislative action—action that you can encour age. Postwar tax policies that leave sufficient funds for expansion. Ioiws that clearly prevent unregulated monopoly. labor policies that es tablish tho responsibilities of lioth labor and management. And business operation under law instead of by unpredictable “directive.” If you wish to know more about this program, write for the free booklet, Hoic Americans Can Earn More, Buy More, Hare More.
