Higher Money Rates Held
Factor in Hesitation

Commenting on narrowness of
the stock market, the current
review of Auchincloss. Parker g.
Redpath declares:
"One senses the same note of
caution with regard to security
commitments that is becoming
noticeable on the part of both
business management Sand the
consumer
ITO some extent this caution
is the result of higher money
rates and tightness of credit
facilities" it declares.
Some reduction in overall
business activity is expected be-
fore the end of 1857. We feel
it will be of minor proportions
and that a pickup in either
automotive or residential build
ing fields would replace the cau-
tious attitude with one of
confidence.
Growth stocks led the market
to its bull market peak last year
and have been the leaders in
the recent decline, Francis l..

YOUR
MONEYS WORTH
For MiIIions-Best Ever
~ SYLVIA PORTER

For millions of American
families, 1857 will be the best
bread-and-butter year ever.
This will be SO even If the
year turns out to be one of only
moderate business growth. This
will be so no matter how the
experts finally decide to describe
the 1857 economy.
And the reason is that these
millions will be getting pay
raises-wage and salary increas-
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1957-03-19

les which will match the fat pay
raises of 1856 despite the Presi-
dents plea for restraint"
They'll easily be able to beat
the probable total rise in living
costs through this year.
And they'll have no trouble
whatsoever getting all the goods
they need and want in this peri
cd of plenty, for the markets in
which we buy have turned de-
cisively in favor of us, the con-
sumers.
So much is being written and
said about the weak spots in
today's economy and so much
emphasis is being placed on the
unfavorable forces, that it's a
sound idea to ge a few basic
points in perspective.
Wages Climbing
And one pivotal point is that
while many businessmen are
finding it harder to make and
keep a dollar these days. the
average worker and his family
are still climbing up the living
standard ladder.
Let's put the picture into focus.
First. there's no mistaking the
fact that wages and salaries are
still in strong upSWlng.
More than 5 million workers
are receiving automatic pay in
creases this year-a Stimulant
which is being overlooked by the
pesslmists. These increases were
written into contracts negotiated
last year and in 1855, and they
average around 7 cents an hour
In hundreds of factories and
plants in May. June and July
pay increases will be going into
effect.
In addition, hundreds of new
contracts already have been ne
gotiated in 1857 and the pattern
they're setting suggests the z
cent increase is a floor, not a
ceiling. A survey of settlements
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1957-03-19

reached In the last three months
reveals that more than half call
for raises of 10 cents an hour or
over.
Pay raises this year, in short,
are rivaling l956-and last year
workers achieved the greatest in
come gains of this decade.
Second, there's no mistakin.
the fact that an alert shopper
can cut a lot of corners on tht
family budget today.
Rulers in Marketplace
We're rulers of the market
place in 1857. And if you try
you can stretch your dollar a lot
more than might be suspected
from superficial glance at the
price statistics.
Admittedly, more and more
businessmen are feeling a profit
squeeze and are fretting about
the fact that despite rising
volume of sales, they're making
less money.
Admittedly, the individual liv-
ing on fixed income is con-
tinuing to take it on the chin
and every dollar rise in living
costs pushes him to a lower
standard.
Admittedly, weather. groups
seeking gains on securities and
properties are finding the field
is not nearly as lush as it has
been in most years since World
War II.
But an all-time record year
is here for millions of middle
class folks. Assuming no violent
catastrophe occurs-and distorts
every reasonable projection
this is absolutely assured.

One of the oddities of life is how
a man can be his own worst enemy
by being his own best friend
Madison County Democrat. (London, Ohio) 19??-1958, 1957-04-30

While attending Ohio State Uni
versity, Mrs. Ruff went to Norway
as one of the delegates of the In
ternational Farm Youth Exchange.
She lived there four and half
months with three different farm
families. She said that the IFYE
was formed to create world friend
ship and understanding between
the United States and other coun-
tries.
Mrs. Ruff gave a very interest
ing talk and explained the pictur-
es, shown on screen, which she
had taken in Norway.
She was one of the 27 young
people who went in group to the
Scandinavian Countries, Germany
and Austria. She said that truly
Norway is well named, THE Land
of the Midnight Sun" During the
summer season, there is complete
daylight at 3 o'clock Am.
She spoke of the snow-capped
mountains and the beautiful pine
trees, also the customs of the farm
people. Every home has a flag pole
and their flags are displayed on
many occasions, such as, on birth
days of members of families, at
picnics and for special guests in
the homes.
1t is the Norwegian custom to
serve four regular meals day, be-
sides two light snacks in between
times.
The people do much hand weav-
ing, wood carving and other handi-
craft which they sell at high pric-
eS.
Children are compelled to attend
school for seven years. After that
they may attend vocational schools
The Norwegians, old and young,
all get great enjoyment from out
door sports, the favorite one being
skiing.
Most of the farms are small, us
ually consisting of only ten to fif-
teen acres. The fields are divided
by stone fences. The barns are
the largest of any in the world.
Mr.. Plymell expressed thanks to
Mrs. Ruff and Mr.. Moore for the
very enjoyable program.
