IT WAS DECIDED to fill the tank in continuous operations because the cold weather at the time would have made it necessary to drain all the pipes every time the pumps were shut toff. Homer L. Chastain, commissioner of public property, explained.

Avoiding draining the pipes several times saved time and possibly additional expense, lessened danger to the men adding chlorine to the water to sterilize it and gave better controls to the sterilization process, he said. 45thQnar:" SiJT i nil if BABY CHICKS Bay tnm aUwt IlllnsU O. nnrt fcrtcliir? ml. lUS.r CkMM Iran 14 llul felM Umm "CklckM Iiwmt" srlM-wlaatn.

When the coach upon which "The Last Shot" was painted was wrecked, the. above panel was turned over to the Kent family. Fram- ed, the piece of coach side now hangs in the office of the E. Kent Co. in Clinton.

The Illinois Central no longer paints scenes such as this on-the sides of its coaches. (Herald Review photo) STRAIGHT IOUSSON WHISKIY "YOU D0NT HAVE TO BE RICH TO ENJOY RICH OLD QUAKER." 86 PROOF.

But the plain fact Is that In the fight against inflation we, as a nation, are hiding under fnt) bed When we freeze wages or prices, we are merely doctoring the symptoms of the Inflation-disease rather than the disease itself. If we are to stop the inflationary trend," the" "makers of our public policies must deal with the monetary causes of the inflation. They must control the expansion of bank deposits and the constantly increasing money supply.

There's nothing mysterious about this More and more people are beginning to realize that the stories they read on the financial pages of their newspapers have a direct relationship to the prices of food, furniture, and other living essen tials advertised in the same newspapers a week later. Inflation is everybody's concern from the Wall Street banker to the Missouri housewife. In the fight against it, the American people you and your neighbors must leam to look beyond the local grocer's bill and the meat prices in the butcher shop you must look to Washington, the seat of our Government, where the monetary policy is made. More than that must make your own voice heard among the law-makers. Coin gress should be interested in your views on inflation, and your Congressman is as close as your nearest mail-box or telegraph' office.

Simply stated the action that you and yourneighbors take can well decide the destiny of bur country. I That's what we mean by "Operation People UA." Get Cash Through Classified Ads l0iLITrLEG9Wh8fp elsan rogsanduptolsteiyl REGARDLESS of inflation or deflation, war or peace, fire or flood life insurance continues to be the ''best buy" in providing for the welfare of your family and in attaining financial security for yourself. This is well indicated by The Equitable's 91st Annual During 1950 more people bought more Equitable life insurance protection than ever before. New Ordinary and Group insurance written last year amounted to' $1,410,000,000, bringing The Equitable's total insurance in force to $15,278,000,000. This total insurance in force represents money held for future delivery.

When due, every dollar of that sum will be paid. But, as a responsible institution of thrift with more than six million people who look to us for economic security, we are concerned with the purchasing power of those dollars when they become due. For mounting Inflation, man-made, threatens not only the worth of the dollar but the very existence of our national enter prise.
