FORTY YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of May 9, 1940) Despite an early truce, the recent strike of Chicago milk wagon drivers illustrated again the urgent need for more adequate protection of producers and consumers in labor disputes involving perishable or semi- perishable farm products.

In ad­ dition, virtually all con­ sumers suffered from the lack of an adequate supply of fluid milk.

What Just One Person Can Do Inflation: A Painful Lesson Recently I had lunch with Robert Muller, secretary of the UN Economic and Social Council. I asked him about inflation. The following is taken from my notes during that interview; any mistakes herein are entirely my own. The whole world faced the same basic crisis in the late 60s. The reality of a growing world population hit with full force. For instance, every three years China increases by the size of France. We are now 4.5 billion people on the planet and it is estimated that we will be nearly 7 billion by the year 2,000. More people require more food, more energy, more water, .more everything. Not only are there more people but the people' of our times are conditioned to desire more than people of the past ever did. The world once understood that when there was a smaller pie everyone had to take a smaller piece of it, but now people believe they should receive more, not less, no matter the world situation. We live in times where values are rapidly changing. Before 1970 there was a worldwide belief that man was the master of all creation. Development was the goal of all nations, but we discovered that air and water can be fouled by our own carelessness to such an extent that human life can be threatened. Our production methods needed to be changed. To protect the environment more money had to be spent to overcome abuses. The spending of wealth on non-productive goods like pollution controls heats up inflation in the same way that the arms race con­ tributes to it. When goods are produced that are not consumed or do not do anything, it falsifies the system of^ supply and demand. * Added to all this is the incredible amount of waste in mo.dern life, the throwaway items. We are conditioned to need more and more unessential goods. All of this production requires energy which in­ creases the total cost of world production. Basically, what Muller was saying was that inflation will subside as we consume less and return to the basics, re-directing our con­ sumption toward food, clothing, shelter. Natural economic forces are at work to help us change our view of reality. The world is being reeducated in the laws of economic reality. We are now searching for a formula which will regulate human habits so that all people can live in harmony, and we are gradually succeeding. Muller is very hopeful about the future. He believes that in the long run we will be the better for the corrections now taking .place. Anna Welder, right, this year's Young Careerist award winner of the McHenry Business and Professional Women's club, makes final preparations for the trip to the state convention. Accompanying her to the convention are Iiaverne Gregory, center, of the Young Careers committee, and Adeline Pedersen, local B.P.W. club president.

In part, Anna said, "A woman of today is con­ stantly faced with slowly changing attitudes and rapidly changing cir­ cumstances. The world of tomorrow will put traditional ideas in per­ spective with the needs and opportunities of a woman... Today,...a woman can now plan her future as a wife, or mother, and have available be and both a career time to homemaker woman. "With these opportunities, wompn have used their talents and intelligence to become successful in business, leaders in politics, doctors of medicine and champions in sport. Most important of all, a woman of today has the means to fulfill her childhood dreams. She still has to struggle with society's slowly changing attitudes, but tomorrow's world will begin to un­ derstand and be proud of her for the happy individual she has become."
