County Creditors Hear State
Director E xpIuin Insurance

antecing the producer money for
his expenses. -
Using a fictitious farm for
example, let's say a farmer rails
ed only one acre Of tobacco. Ac-
cording to figures presented at
the Whiteville meeting, it cost
that farmer about $500. From
his crop, he can expect a return
of about 5000.
That is in case of a full crop.
But if early in the year his crop
was flooded out, and he collect
ed nothing from his efforts, FCI
would pay him $500 Just
what they figure it cost to raise
the crop.
In case the farmer had one
or two pickings off the tobacco
and then hail beat the stalks to
the ground, then the price of the
tobacco that the farmer had saw
ed, would be placed against the
amount TO be paid by the FCI.
Say the farmer had sold 5000
his tobacco. Then some weather
condition destroyed the rest of
his crop. That would mean on
his acre of tobacco he suffered
a loss OF Si00. But FCI covers
only the cost of producing the
crop. And because the farmer
had already collected 5000, FCI
would settle with the farmer for
not more than SlOO. The FCTs
500 and the 5000 that the farm
er had collected before the dis
aSter, should pay off the cost of
producing the crop.

planned, There is still money tt
De turned in and until we are
sure that no more will be coll
lected, complete list cannot be
made"
But of the totals now known,
the Mothers March reaches well
toward the top. The mothers,
under the direction of Mrs.
Thurston Rogers, collected SOS,
in their march through the city.
That sort of collecting is
hard work." Gordon said, land

Milford chronicle., 1955-02-11

Since the end of World War II
Americans have saved 115 billion
dollars out of their personal in
comes. This means that during the
3 year period, 1916 through 1854,
their total spending for cOnsump-
ton was 115 billion dollars less
than the total income they received,
The largest share of the savings
total was kept in liquid form
cash, bank deposits, savings and
loan shares, and government Sc
Curities. Actually, individuals add
ed about 66 billion dollars to their
holdings of this type during the
period under review. Offset against
this is an increase of 20 billion
dollars in consumer indebtedness,
Chiefly for goods purchased on in
stallment. Thus the increase in
liquid saVings--net of the increase
in debt-was As billion dollars.
In appraising the importance of
postwar accumulatiOns of LIQUID
savings it must be remembered that
they have been added on toD of
the liquid assets in the hands of in
diViduals NJ the end of the war
amounting to more than $50 bill
lion dollars. individuals now hold
liquid assets of well over 200 bill
lion dollars.
The second most important Of the
uses to which postwar savings
have been put is the purchase of
insurance. individuals invested
about 80 billion dollars in insur-
Milford chronicle., 1955-02-11

ance during the years 1916 through
1854.
During the same years Ameri-
cans put 13 billion dollars Of their
savings into their own homes. Ac-
tually the value of the homes built
since World War II is far in excess
OF this amOunt-about IS billion
dollars. However, most of the cost
Of these homes was borrowed on
mortgage ~ rather than provided
out of the savings of the purchas-
ers. The 13 billion dollars repre-
sents savings applied to down pay
ments or to subsequent amOrtiza-
ton Of the mortgages.
Finally, 18 billion dollars of in
diyidual savings were invested by
the savers in business enterprises
either by purchase of corporate
securities or by investment in un-
Incorporated enterprises, including
farms.
1t is significant that individuals
have preferred to keep about three
quarters of their savings in the
forms involving definite dollar
claims-insurance, cash, bank de-
posits, government bonds, etc. Of
course some part of this goes in
directly into business investment,
as for example through the insur-
ance companies and savings banks.
But only about 16 percent of post
war personal savings have been in
vested directly by the savers i'm
business enterprises.
