Living Costs Of 30
Rural Delaware
Families Reported

Living costs of 80 rural Delaware
families during 1947 nearly tripled
1910 costs, reports Miss Louise
extension home man
q agement specialist for the UniVer-
sity of Delaware. Miss WhitcOmD
has recently completed an analysis
of the spending of these families
who have kept detailed accounts Oh
living costs as well as business eX-
pensCs and incomes received.
Twenty of the families reporting
live on farms, while the other III
are rural nOn-farm While the ac-
counts summarized here are too
few to be considered typical OF all
Delaware families, Miss WhitcOmb
believes they show up trends IN
spending habits.
The average gross income OF
these farm families in 1947 was less
than in 1946-$5,465 as compared
with $6,86O. Farm expenses also
we're lOweT-$3, 1853 instead of S4,-
922. This left a net income of ST.
107 as compared with 1888 in
1916.
Non-farm families averaged $3,-
305 gross income in 1947, with S4l6
business expenses. These figures
are quite similar to 1916 figures, So
282 and $566, showing a net income
of $2,716 as compared to $2,889 in
1916.
Annual food costs over the 1910
1947 period increased from an aver
age of $245 per family to $519 Most
other expenses doubled to tripled
during the same period Clothing
/ rose from $93 to SIG; household
operations from $142 to $314; trans
pOrtatiOn from $177 to $298; gifts
and welfare from $61 to $175; and
medical care from $39 to $92.
! Increases in living costs between
| 1916 and 1947 were moderate. The
total spending of the so families
advanced from $1,868 to $1,984
Amounts spent on personal care
house repair and furnishing, educa
ton. recreation and reading. anC
n0ndical care were slightly less in
1947.

cent are young men and women

1t was voted to send a check to

paper, seals and string for the

that each member would bring

ing the first thing needed and wO-
mems aprons being another item

also a card party in the near fu-
ture.

the home of the president, Mrs

President Truman's worst enemy
couldn't accuse him of pessimism or
lack Of confidence when it comes to
his political future. All the polls in
dicate that he is due for the worst
beating at the polls received by any
incumbent since Herbert Hoover.
Some Of the top Democrats are
showing a remarkable disinterest
in the national campaign, and are
busying themselves mending fences
at home. The Democratic national
committee seems to be giving more
effort to trying to hold its own IN
Congress than in electing the Presi-
dent. The revolt of the Southern
Democrats, who are backing Gov
ernor ThurmOnd for the Presidency,
may. in the view of some, take as
many as 35 Deep South electoral
votes awaY from Mr.. Truman. Henry
wallace is obviously cutting to
.~some extent into the Democratic
ranks in the big Industrial areas,
where the party has had its main
strength Since 1892. And, finally,
Mr.. Dewey has found enthusiastic
audiences wherever he has gone
down the long campaign trail.
Yet, in spite Of all this, Mr.. Tru-
man clearly. feels that the battle is
hot lost, and that he can win. He
has said time and time again that
he will continue in the White House
Tor four more years, and those who
are in a position to know say he be-
lieVes that literally. He is stalking
his cause on going personally to the
. voters-and so, for that matter, is
his opponent. AS a result, the two
major candidates will do more trav-
cling this year than any have since
the use of radio became general, i
is strictly a grass roots campaign
The Presidents strategy is clear
and simple. He was a middle-Of-the
road Senator, who followed Mr.
ROOseVelt's leadership as a matter
Of party lOyalty-ne has always
been strong party man. In thu
early days of his Presidency, HI
seemed to be considerably more
conservative and less impetuOu
than his predecessor. Now, how
ever, he has moved definitely left o
center. He has accepted PRACTICAL,
ell the New Deal ideas, and added
number of his. own. Congress, h
says, is controlled by Eastern Re
publican mossbacks' who play alOn
with the special interests. In Cali
fOrnia, he said it is necessary froT
going to the dogs" In anothe
brief talk, he referred to the presen
leaders Of Congress as "thOse birds.
He favOrs, on specific issues, sue
projects as compulsory gOVernmeI
health insurance, widespread GOV
ernment development of powe
price control along something re
sembling the OPA pattern, an
other policies which, no matter whf
can be said for and against then
