evening by the instructor, Miss Helen Piepenbrug. Friday morning the squirrels thought the party was for them because by the time the children‘s peanut hunt started, the squirrels had collected and eaten most of the peanuts. Squirrels Have Field Day In Highland Park hunt at Sunset Park in Highland Park. The peanuts were hidden in The committee ,Henry Bernard, chairman, Emmett Moroney, Fred Gieser, Arthur Ropiequet and Clarence Shetzley, have spared no pains in planning fun and enterâ€" tainment at this big event.

If you are a hay fever addict, of course you have already acted.

Business has long known the power it exercises, under certain conditions, in regulating the supply of goods. The unions have learned the power they exercise in regulating the supply of labor. But if the consumers ever gain the full, heady knowledge of the power they canâ€"wield in regulating the demand . . . well, probably it won‘t happen, but it‘s interesting to speculate on the possible Tresults. % That story, which possibly is apochryphal, may not carry much of a moral, but it does illustrate the point that the worm CAN turn; which brings us back to the subject of consumers and meat (arid other) prices. As we stated d couple weeks ago, we haven‘t too much faith in the possibilities of the success of an organized consumers strike.

Anyone who remembers Mah Jongg, the pogo stick, the Charleston, or any of the other scores of fads that America has weathered, knows to what fantastic lengths we Americans will go in following a fad. Brother, if it ever becomes "the thing to do" to turn up your nose and walk out (maybe with feeling comments yet!) when you are quoted a slightly outrageous price for a piece of meat or other merchandise, it would be nice to own a firm that had a corner on a good brand of headache pills. Despite the old saying concerning the worm turnâ€" ing, we don‘t think that situation obtains very often. Nevertheless, anything can happenâ€"witness the tale of a pomeranian and a fire hydrant, chronjcled recently in the daily papers. According to the story, the small dog halted alongside the fire hydrant at the precise instant that the hydrant burst. The resultant flood washed the dog clear across to the other side of the street.
