Nation 5 Food Bill
Expected 10 Decline
Further in Year
BY Jack R. Ryon
Associated Press Financial Writer


NEW YORK, Dec. 31.-Amer.
ica's food bill went down a bit ir
1949 and seems likely to ease 9
little more in the new year. -.
The decline was partly because
retail food prices averaged nearly
four per cent lower, partly because
per capita food consumption
dropped slightly as people spent 9
larger proportion of their incomes
on other things.
Hopes for lower overall fooc
prices in 1880 are pinned on pro.
spects for greater supplies of few
major items. Pork, for example
may reach peacetime high fol
abundance. Lower price tags or
most dairy products, poultry and
eggs, potatoes, fresh vegetables
and apples may also help bring
the average down. Vigorous COM
petition among food dealers will be
another factor.
Supports Limit Drop.
No sharp reduction is expected
however. Government price sup
ports will limit declines on several
commodities. And food packers say
many manufacturing costs still are
going up.
Labor costs account for more
than so per cent of the spread
between what the farmer gets fol
his crops and what the consumer
pays for the finished product" says
Paul s. Willis, president of Grocery
Manufacturers of America.
I'm our food processing plants
hourly wages are four per cent
above 1948. Transportation costs
have gone up 10 per cent in the
last year."
Dollar sales in food stores for
1949 were about 80, 200, 900 900. the
GINA estimates, or about So, 900 ,00C
below 1948.
The decline was due to lower
prices rather than to decreased
tonnage sales, the trade associa-
ton says. Manufacturers net profit
per dollar of sales dropped from
cents in 1948 to 80 cents in 1919
They were 4.6 cents ten years ago
Coffee Prices Climb.
Highlight of 1949 in the food
price-and-supply news was the
steep climb in coffee prices touched
of In September by concern over
anticipated shortages next spring
Coffee is likely to stay at the
new high level and may well &C
higher, because world exportable
production now amounts to about
% ,000, 900 bags of 1872 pounds each
whereas consumption has reached
80 900, 900, says George Robbins
retiring president Of the National
Coffee Association.

Living Costs Unlikely to Drop
Substantially in Coming Year
By the Assoeiofed Press

NEW YORK. Dec. 31.-Just
about as much money is going to
drain out of Dads pocketbook in
1850 as in the year just past to
keep the family living we'll.
1t cost Dad perhaps 2 per cent
less money at the end of 1949
than it did at the start. Few
think he'll get much more of a
break than that in 1850; and
most think it'll cost him just as
much. all told-some things going
up. some down a little.
Mothers likely to save a little
on the weekly food bills, par
ticularly if she's a smart shopper.
Big supplies. and low prices, are
likely on some things like pork,
poultry and eggs. Others, like
coffee, are apt to stay high, and
some foods may 60 higher as crop
weather and the seasons dictate.
Clothing Already Down.
She may be able to clothe the
family little cheaper, but very
little. She already has had her
break there. prices being 71a per
cent below the October, 1948. peak.
Cotton surpluses and the competi-
tion with synthetic yarns may
hold down some fabric prices.
But the price of fine wool for
suits isn't expected to drop much,
if any. And labor costs will stay
high.
Dad can buy or build a house
little cheaper than he could
last year. But if he rents, he's
likely to pay more rather than
less, especially if controls peter
out in June.
Makers of furniture and fur
nishings think their prices have
touched bottom and will be a
little higher, if anything, in 1850.
If you heat with coal, your fuel
bills will be higher. If you heat
with oil or gas, you just might get
a break. The price of crude oil
is still near the peak. But grow
ing competition from natural gas,
plus the threat of cheap foreign
oil imports makes the whole
petroleum price structure a little
shaky, from crude oil right on
through to fuel oil and gasoline.
Transportation Costs More.
Public transportation to and
from work costs more in many
cities. If Dad is a commuter, he
may find the increased rates quite
an item each month.
What are the forces keeping
prices up, or tending to push them
higher?
Steel has just gone up, about
81 ton. It is a basic material in
countless gadgets you use. or that
others use in supplying you with
the necessities of life.
Freight rates have gone UP.
The price of everything that
moves on rails to your door is
affected.
Labor costs continue to rise,
and therell be pressure in 1850
to raise them higher. They
could be Offset by greater
productivity, but that isn't a sure
thing yet.
Taxes add to the cost Of the
essentials you buy. The pressure
is to raise taxes further-at Fed
eral, State and local levels.
Finally. there is the force of in
flation-the easy money, easy
credit terms, full pocketbooks that
induce more buying and thus keep
prices bolstered.
What are the forces holding
prices down, striving to push them
lower?
Great surpluses of wheat, corn,
potatoes, cotton, all hang over the
market. even in the face of Gov
ernment price supports. Storage
bins bursting with corn entice
farmers to grow more pigs, more
cattle, more poultry. And in time,
you find a few pennies shaved off
your meat. egg and milk bills.

American Business
Faces Further Loss
OF Overseas Trade
By Som Dowson
Assoeiofsd Press Business Writer


NEW YORK, Dec. 31.-Ameri-
can businessmen face further loss
of overseas trade in the coming
year.
The hammer and sickle cuts off
more and more of the commerce
with Asia, while the uncertain
outlook in Indonesia and flnan-
cial troubles in India hamstring
trade there.
American taxpayers still will be
shouldering costly prop under
American trade with Europe.
Another $3,100,000,000 will be
asked in 1850 to continue the Mar
shall Plan. Effects of recent cur
rency devaluations, nebulous so far,
may become apparent in 1850. But
most expect this to have less effect
on world trade totals than will
the. degree of prosperity within
the United States itself. Still, it
will be harder to sell American
goods abroad, while more foreign
made goods will be offered in the
home market.
Washington wants Americans,
who bought an estimated $6,000,-
100000 or more of foreign goods
in 1949. to raise the ante to at
least $4,000. 900, 900 in 1850. Few
think they will.
But this increase, together with
an expected drop in American
exports of goods from this years
estimated $4,000, 100000, would
narrow the trade gap which has
yawned since the war between
what Americans sell abroad and
what they buy from abroad.
Official figures on 1949s exports
and imports will be Forthcoming
in February. Based on estimates
OF foreign trade source here, the

1872" asked Mr.. Hopkins, then he
added. Whittier thou goest. co."
Thank you very much, Mr..

School Is Out

OCHOUl IS OuL
Children all over the country have
put away their school books, or are
preparing to do so, to enjoy the sum
mer vacation.
To the children, the time has ar
rived for fun and relaxation, of
freedom from school routine, dis
cipline, homework and examina-
tons They take readily and eager
ly to this change to all-day play
and outdoor life,
We adults see school days as
necessary to the mental and educa-
tional growth of the child. Similar
ly, we can look on his vacation days
as essential to his healthy physical
growth. Immediate benefits can be
seen the first few days a child is
home from school. In some. cases,
tagging appetites perk up and some
children begin to sleep better be-
cause increased fresh air and ex-
ercise bring on a healthy fatigue at
the end of the day.
Although school days mean a GER
tain amount of confinement and de-
privation of outdoor exercise, they
do tend to foster regular habits of
eating, sleeping, and cleanliness
among children. For example, most
parents get their children to bed on
time because they have to get UP
early for school. Children general
ly eat better breakfast during the
school year and many schools pro-
vide pupils with nourishing, we'll
balanced lunch. There is less OPP
portunity, too, during school days
for children to nibble at snacks and
spoil their appetites for good food at
the main meals
AS a general rule, children are
scrubbed for school," with special
attention to clean fngernails and
teeth. Dentists report that the ap-
pearance of dental cavities among
children is greatest during the sum-
mer vacation.) Pupils are reminded
almost daily in class of the import
ance of health and hygiene.
Moreover, many schools have doc
tors and nurses, at least on part
time basis, to help keep a check on
the health of the children.
Just enough of the attention Civ
en- to the child's health during school
weeks should carry over into the
summer vacation to assure that he
returns to school happy and healthy
in September. This certainly does
not mean that child should be
nagged about health rules after an
learned" vacation following nine
months of study and school routine.
Nor does it mean that few '1ate
nights" or extra snacks during the
day will do harm.
But it does mean that parents
should realize the understandable
tendency to allow things to slide
during the summer months and help
make the child's summer vacation
the relaxing, refreshing and health
full experience it is meant to be.
