The central process is the reduction of stocks in the hands of manufacturers, wholesalers and retailers. Th»se businessmen have been reducing their Inventories at a rate of about 100 million dollars a week. This process is in sharp contrast with that of a year ago, when businessmen were adding to their atocks of goods. The important point is this: . , Factories do not run when sale£ being made from inventories. . And idle factories make idle -' workers. Selling from inventories , also reduces employment in mining and transportation. - '" The change f rortuj inventory /bUild-up a year ago"to stock, reduction this year put over two ^ million people out of work. Tliis number is more than equal to the increase in unemployment over the very low of a year ago. „ One other important adjustment is taking place: Individuals are paying off their installment debts faster than they are contracting new ones. Thus both individuals and businesses are getting into a position to increase their purchases. These purchases, In turn, will provide employment. The reduction in inventories is perhaps a little greater than was expected last fall, fin the other hand, the general economic situation is as strong as was forecast, or stronger. Total personal income in 1954 has been equal to that received in 1953. Disposable income -- what is left after taxes -- has been running 1 or 2 per cent more than that of twelve months J»fore. The construction business, ijphich shrinks iseverely in depressions, is having a good year. Home construction may reach 1.1 million this year, according to recent indications. This number Of homes would be a little more than were built last year, and the second largest on record. Better values and easier credit terms. are helping sales of new homes. Better values are available because many workmen are giving more service for a day's pay than they did last year. Easier credit is available because the government has shifted its policy and because people arc putting more money into savings accounts, building and loan associations and insurance companies, and these funds must be invested. Most other types of construe- .1 „ , M, nr ^ , --- tion are scheduled for boom levels again this year. This trend is shown by the volume of contracts that have already been signed. For the first four months of this year, construction contract awards axe reported to be 8 per cent gieater than, the record high of those months last year. These tabulation.? are made by the P. W. Dodge corporation, wel-known construction analysts. Their calculations app'y to thirty-seven states east of the Rocky Mountains. Figures for the western states wouid probably show a greater increase. These and other reports from private sources confirm the results of government surveys of building and construction planned for this year. Of course, activit^-^n a few lines of business Is low and shows no signs of picking: up. This condition is normal in any rapidly changing and progressing economy. In the same way. several new industries are expanding very* rapidly. Seme people, and some firms, are in thv? process of changing from shrinking to expanding industries. But add it all up and you will find that business has seldom been better than in ia«ent months. vV,. _ THE McHENRY PLAINDEALEH MM Private Riles Held For Father Of Local Resident Dr. Harry J, Fremml,' 71, of 4300 Sheridan Road, Chicago, father /of Mrs. Lee Gladstone of McHenry, died on May 31.

Pijja Nlntifttn College Conducts Research Program Research at the University of Illinois College of Veterinary Medicine is> being constantly expanded to learn more about livestock disease problems and better serve the Illinois livestock industry, Dean Robert Graham says.. Funds totalling $40,348 from state and federal agencies and private firms are toeing used to develop t\venty%ight research projects dealing with many perplexing disease problems of poultry, cattle, swine, sheep, horses and dogs. Veterinary research is conducted by eighteen college staff members as part of the agricultural experiment station program, Dean Graham explained. t, Poultry diseases that are being studied at the college include infectious bronchitis, Newcastle disease, chronic respiratory disease (CRD) and coccidiosis. In addition, a survey is under way to find out how much poultry disease there is jrfthe state. Other staff members are trying to develop a test to detect vibriosis and find how it is transmitted. This disease causes many cases of abortion in cattle and sheep. Similar work is being conducted on leptospirosis, another disease that causes abortion in cattle, sheep and swine. Vaccines to prevent cattle brucellosis are also being tested. Other research projects include work on hyperkeratosis (X-disease) of cattle, transmissible gastroenteritis (TGE) of pigs, .follicular conjunctivitis of dogs and cattle ketosis. Staff members are also trying to find a solution to the bloat problem in ruminants and to determine the causes of high death losses in young pigs. Parasitologists at the college are studying horse strongyles and trying to find satisfactory control measures for cattle and sheep parasites. LEGALS DR. HENBY FREUND OPTOMETRIST Ai 136 S.
