A BAD HABIT IS HARD TO BREAK
Price, wage and other government con
trois are being removed as rapidly as poss
ible. We are headed back to a free market
competitive economy. This move'appears to
have the support of the people, which is a
wholesome indication. The philosophy of
the free market is mseparabie from the phii
osophy of free government.
. • For years the people have been told by
bureaucratic planners that controls can pro
tect consumers against inflation—which thev
cannot do. Every effort has been made by
many top politicians and government offi
C1 N S v, t î Create dl ® trust of th e free market

PartlCular , ly to retail distribution
that it has been able to function for such a
long time under a mountain of anti-corn-'
petltive, anti-free market controls
Today controls are b^ing removed but we
should not forget that they are being remov

reasonably content. We should not forget
that there is still a $260,000,000 public debt
to reckon wffh and that for most of the time

BABSON PARK, Florida, February 27 — The
constantly increasing shorter hours, combined with
higher prices, which are largely the result of short
er hours, are developing a new industry—namely
the "Do-It-Yourself" industry.
HOUSE DECORATIONS
For a time the manufacturers of paint, wall
paper, etc., in order to protect the local painters
and paperers, refused to advertise their products
for the housewife to use herself. Now, however you
will find large advertisements in leading magazines
urging people to "short-circuit" the local artisan

drug stores sell Hobby Magazines. These maga

are great boosters of the "Do-It-Yourself" industry.
Not only does the hobby industry benefit the
nation's health, but by it parents set a fine ex

NEW STORES WILL OPEN
I believe you will see "Do-It-Yourself" stores
open. If I were a young chap and wanted io open
a small specialty store, I would enter this field
combining some sporting goods with it. The same
factors of shorter hours and higher costs are fore
mg many families to indulge in inexpensive and
healthful sports.
Another suggestion is that you become a sales
