I'U need to think about Then comes the bill $500. That means he's read it." Lawyers are the only people who go to post "ii y- I Tk "N- -f The report presents preliminary findings of a survey covering 42 Oahu dairies in November and JDecember, 1958. It shows that the average cost of producing one quart of milk on Oahu is 6.07. cents higher than in the Los Angeles area, one of the highest on the mainland.

The average dairyman on Oahu makes only 0.65 cents per quart on the wholesale price of his milk. "Most of them are either losing money The retail cost of milk in Honolulu already 62 cents per quart above the highest mainland prices is likely to soar still higher unless something is done to aid local dairymen, according to the Milk Producers Association of Hawaii. Quoting figures recently released in a report published by, the University of Hawaii Agricultural i-ment Station, association representative Walter Lind-ley, pointed out why. Today's Business or just breaking even," Lind-ley said. The report shows 23.5 per -cent of the dairies covered in the survey made no profit during November and December of last year.

Figures show, however, that Hawaii produces more milk per cow than any other state in the union. The loss of profit is due almost entirely to high production costs. Lindley pointed out that cost of a dairy cow on Oahu is $550 $200 higher than on the mainland. In addition, the milk-producing life of a cow in the Islands is 2-3 years shorter than on the mainland, due to the difference in climate. FEED COST In addition, Lindley said, the average price of feed has increased 25 per cent since October, 1958.

Some feed items are up '42 per cent' since then, he said. Faced by this steep rise in production costs, which have been increasing steadily since the end of World War the dairymen feel they have only two alternatives. One is to raise the price of milk, but the dairymen feel they may not have to do this. Their only other hope is for legislation to remove the Vacation Time Poses Problem for Industry graduate college for three years simply to learn how to read. You know how they give kids lessons to speed their reading.

Well, in law school they spend three years teaching them how to read slow. "A week later, he writes a letter and soaks you another $150 for that." "Well, that's for his legal training." "Oh, they're worth it. Some of the letters my lawyer has written would get him flunked out of Fifth Grade English but you've got to admire a grown man being able to write such lousy English and get paid for it." "Well, they have to be careful." "Oh, my lawyers are very careful. My divorce decree is now studied in law schools the world over as an.abso-. lute masterpiece of hopeless legal incompetence.

It takes three years in law school for anyone to learn how to screw things up that good. When old Avaricious gets through with a parking ticket, I'm in jail for larceny, embezzlement, and maybe murder. Of course, he's a bit of a genius at taking the trivial and making a Federal case out of it. Not all those swindlers are as expert as old Avaricious, Dilatory, Fly-speck Stupid." "Well, stupid, isn't the word exactly, is it?" I asked. "Oh sure," they're pretty stupid," he said sadly.

"I can't afford the really smart lawyers. They're all working for Jimmy Hoffa. Or for Trujillo. The only people who get decent legal counsel in this country are the That's why so many people get such a bang, out of Perry Mason.

Have you ever watched Perry Mason stride. into a courtroom and confound a For sheer fantasy there's nothing like it. I mean he knows what he's doing which would get him thrown out of the Bar Association if he were a real life lawyer. In the first place, a real lawyer would never be in court. "Oh, come, now," I protested.

"Some lawyers have to go to court!" "Never!" said Oswald firmly. "Not in this century. I mean not if they're any good. Now, you take my law firm, Avaricious, Dilatory, Flyspeck Stupid. "That's their name?" "It's not their real name? That's more like what they're like.

The head of the firm hasn't been in court in generations. He takes great pride in that. "Well, that's 'cause court trials are wasteful and they try to save you the expense. "Well, that's what they tell their clients, of course. Actually, it's because courtroom trials involve some work and that a lawyer a good one wants to avoid at all costs.

That's where Per ry Mason, is pure romantic moonshine. He likes courts; he even prepares his cases, which is almost illegal in the legal profession. "Another thing that's pure romance.

KGMB-TV Channel 9 MOVE SAM DAWSON NEW YORK, March 27 (AP) If spring comes can vacation time be far behind? Many workers may think the time much too far off, but most managements have already set up their schedulesin some cases subject to change if a steel strike is called this summer. The practice of giving vacations to hourly workers has grown steadily, especially since the war.

This raises, for management the twin problems: 1. Better to shut down the plant entirely for a time or to stagger the vacations? And 2. If we close down the manufacturing how many of the other corporate functions should be kept going? The marked trend toward shutting down entirely seems to have hit a snag this year. The snag is that business is too good to be passed Last-summer saw a big jump in plantwide vacations and in many cases for longer periods than the year before. The reason, then was walks in needing him, he's there.

This is ridiculous. No lawyer is ever where you need him. He's on the golf course. Or he's in the part I really like is the way he takes the inexplicable and makes it understandable. I mean all he's got to go on is the old man's will, the dead body, and the cuff links which were found on the golf course and out of this he makes sense.

"Now, you take my lawyers they work exactly opposite. Bring 'em in a traffic ticket to handle. Right away, they want a week to study it. 'Mustn't rush these old Avaricious tells TV Firms Study Plans to Lease G.E. Equipment A recent announcement that General Electric plans to inaugurate a program of leasing television equipment to TV stations is apparently not going to cause any immediate change in local operations.

An article on the new G.E. lease plan appeared recently in the Wall Street Journal. A survey of the three Honolulu TV stations shows that two might possibly take advantage of the lease offer sometime in the future, but not sooa The third station probably will not consider leasing equipment at all. KHVH-TV station Richard C. Block said he hadn't heard of the G.E.

lease plan, but that it is possible his station might someday try it. Art Sprinkle, "station manager at KONA-TV, said he knew of the idea, and that there was a possibility his station might take advantage of it, but not now. KGMB-TV probably will not be considering a lease arrangement at all, according to station manager Mel-' vin Wright. Honolulan Cast In Coast Play Jere Johnson of Honolulu has been cast in the University of California at Davis's production of "Waltz of the Toreadors," the college's dramatic production for the spring semester.

The general business re covery isn't the only reason lor some factories deciding against a shut down this summer. Some say their business is going through a change in seasonal patterns, so that summer, isn't as dull. as.

it once was. Others are studying the costs of overtime before and after the vacation to see if iiew patterns of shipments, orders, or work flow still justify the plantwide vacation. And some, managements are checking the vacation isomers to see how these cations play a bigger part each year in the general economy. The Federal Reserve Board found a while back it had to bring its industrial production index into line with a seasonal adjustment for summer vacations the old style index was making the summer factory output slump look more alarming than justified.

TAX EXEMPTION The one getting the most backing is a measure intro- -duced by Senator Thomas S. Olgata. It would exempt feed and breeding livestock from the tax. This would benefit other livestock farmers, as well as dairymen. Lindley said the Milk Producers Association plans to present its problem to the public in an advertising campaign designed to show why something must be done soon.

Henry Robinson, Director of Internal Revenue for the Honolulu District, said thousands of taxpayers have not filed as yet. "Remember," he said, "late filers who wait until the last moment to file in haste are prone to omit some important items, such as their signatures, Form W-2s, Social Security numbers, etc." He added, they also make mistakes which are costly to themselves as well as to Uncle Sam.

It's a fine opportunity to do repair and maintenance work.

7 For a I production slowdown is worse than a complete shutdown. And though for most the summer is a poor time to take inventory, a shutdown does give a chance to get rid of old goods and rearrange opera tions. To find out about vacation practices and plans, the Re search Institute of America queried companies in many industries and on the basisi of 500 replies it reports they are about equally divided this summer between staggering vacations or shutting down all or most operations for one period. But of those planning to stagger vacations this summer, seven per cent say this will be a change from last year's practice, and eight per cent say a steel strike would affect their plans. Of those planning plant-wide vacations, three per cent did otherwise last summer and one per cent say a steel strike would make them change their minds.

About 70 per cent of those closing down general production work will keep the 0 17 ONLY niMO. 124 N.
