L McGnrk ^hai for budget-minded homemakers. He <?ited the recent drop m farm {prices as a gdod illhstration of the jwiy prides in different phases of the economy move up and down at dif- ferent rates. FOJ*'instance, the average of New firork farm tprices has dropped 14 per- teent in the past year. For some pro- jducts, such as milk and beef, the tirop has heeh more severe than for lathers. Citing gome reasons why farm t>rices are more likely to move up and jdown than prices of industrial pro j jflucts, he pointed out that unlike jmany industrial concerns, farmers jcan't control their total production. ]DThen, there aren't many processing jcosts in the priced of farmers' pro- jducts. PrpceSSing costs, primarily fcvage,s, make industrial prices slow to change. Part of the farmer's current dilem* fcn& tests from the fact that the aver- iage wholesale price for the products jof industry are practically unchanged trdtti a^year ago. As a result, the farmer finds it takes more of the jgooda he has to sell to buy machinery |Bnd supplies than it did last year. f ;— t According to a survey by the New * \fXojrk doodJtoads Association, there h jftre over a thousand more miles of , jb&r's tha-n t^ieye are miles of state JkiighWays in New York. !

All stickers oh .Windshields on the rear windows of motor vehicles are in violation of the State vehicle and traffic law as of June 1, states Mo- tor Vehicle Commissioner James R. 'Maddflff said. ' \ <- •' ' * The law provides that stickers may be placed on windshields or the rear windows of vehicles only under authorization of the motor vehicle 'commistsioner. Commissioner Mac-' duff said he had withdrawn all pre- vious authorizations effective Sunday May 31. Agencies wiiich had permission to use windshield .stickers, such as the New York City auto used tax stamp auto club stickers and defense plant identification, were notified last fall that all such authorizations were to be terminated- as of the end of this month, Commissioner Macduff said. The action was taken in the inter- est of highway safety, it was e plained. The law does not prohibit use of a sticker on a side window, on the back of a rear-view mirror or on a sun visor, where front and rear view are not obstructed. Governor Dewey recently vetoed a bill which would have permitted windshield stickers used by employ- ees in, plants engaged in defense work. Saturday at teh.a, m. in the Method ist Church at Bombay.
