SKATING IN THE STREETS
The Union-Recorder has repeated
ly warned parents to caution their
children about skating in the streets.
Many accidents have been nar
rowly avoided this week when motor
ists were forced to bring their
to a quick stop or swerve to the
side when boys and girls skated into

That is why your federal govern

crusading zeal of Undcr-Sccretary of
Agriculture Dr. Rcxfotd Guy Tug-
well, seeks to take a hand in the
contemporary merchandising and
advertising worlds, and wants t».
regulate them with a bureaucracy.
We agree with Dr. Tugwcll. with
•he Bureau of Standards, and with
Pure Food and Drug Department'
that the American consumer Ls
“gypped" in some of his purchases:
trick brand name are created: de
ceptive sizes of canned and bottled
goods are placed on the market;
and many other commodities are
mid through the subtle art of sales
deception. But the placing of every
f arm and industrial product in the
hands of r. Washington bureaucra
cy is not going to solve the con
sumers’ problem.
The Eccentric joins with many
others who are unalterably opposed
to the microscopic control of human
activity from a central bureaucracv.
Such a plan as Dr. Tui:w?ll would
like to develop is unworkable—
even though much of it may be
commendable from a theoretical
viewpoint.
Dr. Tugwell's complete regulation
and standardizing of Ameriran farm

the American system of commodity
