spending. The only way industries
can meet the increasing wage de-
mands of labor is to build more
efficient plants, utilizing more eff
ficient productive methods which
lower unit production costs.
If they cannot effect improve
ment in this field, they have to
raise prices and if they can't Dor
row money at a decent interest
rate, they usually decide against
spending for expansion and mod
ernization. The result is that they
increase the price of their prod
uct.
Wage demands keep going up,
too, and so the situation is not
relieved. Meanwhile, the govern
ment's tight money policy remains
in effect, and interest rates r
still going up.
A MODEL LAW
All but a handful of the state
legislatures meet this year. And
one proposed law which is ex-
pected, and will be introduced
in legislative sessions of the states
that have not enacted it, should
stir up little or no controversery.
The law is called a Uniform
Gifts to Minors Act" and it has
been adopted by the National Con-
ference of Commissioners on Uni
form State Laws and approved by
the American Bar Association. 1t
has, SO far, been enacted by IS
states and the District of Column
bia. Its purpose is to encourage
gifts of securities to minors, by
providing a simple and convent
ent way of doing that.
The reason for such a law lies
in old and obsolete statutes which
in many cases, make it necessary
to establish costly and cumber-
some guardianship or trusts be-
fore securities a be given to
minors. The new and model law
in effect, makes it possible to give
these forms of property with a
of difficulty. Incidental
~, the Internal Revenue Service
has ruled that up to $4,000 in
stock $4,000 for a married cou-
ole) may be given to a child each
year under that statute without
mourning a gift tax.
The great virtue of this was ex-
pressed by the president of the
New York Stock Exchange in
.hese words: STOCK gifts . al
ow one to build a reserve for
children which can grow as they
grow. At the same time such gifts

IS YOUR HONE
DANGEROUS

We have called attention from
time to time to the danger that
turks in the average American
home, pointing out that statistics
show what about half of all the
accidental deaths in the nation are
due to mishaps within the home.
One survey of a large city re-
veals that more than half of such
deaths are caused by falls. Analy-
sis reveals that nearly half of the
falls occurred on the same level,
more than one-third of them on
stairs and about one-sixth from
one level to a lower level.
The safety experts suggest that
the number of accidents caused
by tripping over objects and rugs
on floors is of such size as to sug-
gest caution in every home.
Moreover, the need for well-light-
ed stairways is important and ev-
eryone should exercise care and
patience in using stairs.
We call these facts to the at
tention of the residents of Rich
land county in the hope that we
may help prevent accidents in the
home. 1t will take only a few

TIGHT MONEY PAINS

One of the tragedies of the Els
enhower Administrations tight
money policies is the effect it is
having on farmers and others who
wish to borrow money to build
homes.
The FILA has been borrowing
its money for home loans at a
very low interest rate in recent
years and lending the money I'M
der five percent. This was a fair
rate of interest which didn't cause
hardship to anyone.
Now, however, the interest rate
which the FILA is having to pay
for its money is up to almost five
percent and the rate to be charged
to private citizens is headed for
seven percent. So, the little man,
who must borrow money, is pay
ing a heavy price for the tight
money policy which is supposed
to check initiation.
The greatest inflationary pres
in the country today is the
wage increase spiral and a major
second factor is heavy government

The recent wave of below-nor-
NAL temperatures in the United
States brings to mind the ques-
ton whether winters r getting
colder. 1t will be remembered that
most of the weather experts were
saying - until a few years ago
that winter weather was not as
severe as il was a few decades
ago.
In the last two years, several
weather experts have said that
we are now moving to colder
weather and that the winters in
the future will be colder. The
January cold wave indicates that
the experts following this line now
have some evidence to back up
their case i.
1t should be remembered,
though, that severe cold weather
did not arrive until rather late
this year and that 1856 was a rel
atively mild year, even well into
December. Those who claim that
the winters are warmer today than
they formerly were cite as proof
the fact that the growing line of
many plants and trees is continu-
ally moving further northward.
This proves, they say, that our
weather is getting warmer.
They also cite the falling back
of the ice masses at the Poles,
pointing out that this ice is melt
ing back a little more each year.
The experts on this side are al
ways backed up by elderly peo-
pie who claim that winters a few
decades ago were much colder
than they are now.
But what some elderly citizens
do not realize is that heating con-
ditions, when they were young,
were not nearly as efficient as
they are today and they felt the
cold much more. In other words,
it seemed colder a few decades
ago than it seems today, although
the weather might not have been
actually colder.
In our opinion, the trend is still
toward warmer winters, although
one cannot judge the trend by one,
two or three years, but must look
at the graph over a period of
decades. Looking at the weather
from this scientific angle, there
seems to be no proof yet that we
are returning to colder winters.

THIS WEEK
In
WASHINGTON

Statisticians tallying the work
of the first session Of the 85th
Congress are finding some not
able figures which can be com
pared with previous years. From
January 3 to August 80, the
House of Representatives sat in
formal session 141 days for a
total of 585 hours and l9 min
utes. The Senate sessions were
held on 1873 days for $50 hours
and Al minutes. The printing of
the debates and comments on
legislation and related matters
consumed 1922 pages of small
print in the Congressional Re-
cord. This was the longest ses-
sion of the House of Representa-
tives since the Korean War
period.
In the course of these debates,
14,0l3 pieces of legislation were
introduced. This record number,
which more than doubles that of
the previous year, indicated no
scarcity Of ideas for new laws.
However, only 316 such proposals
were actually enacted into public
ie,W Twelve other bills were
passed by Congress to be vetoed
by the President. None of the
Presidential vetoes were over
riden by Congress, marking the
fifth year since a bill has be-
come law over the objection of
the President.
Exercising its authority to ap-
prove nominations by the Presi-
dent, the Senate confirmed 875
postmasters while IT'S such no
limitations were unconfirmed and
90 were withdrawn from consid-
Grafton. Of the 45,114 President
ial nominations for civilian posts
in government and commissions
in the armed services, A. ia were
approved, 1853 were uncCnfirmed
and 33 were withdrawn from
consideration.
Juvenile Delinquency
Early this year, my public
opinion poll on national issues
included question about the
Federal government assisting the
otateS III pTODleInS involving
juvenile delinquency. Only on
matters pertaining to the Federal
budget, taxation, and foreign aid
did | receive more comments
than on this question. Although
those Southeastern Ohioans op-
posing Federal intervention into
juvenile delinquency situations
were slightly in the majority,
the percentages in the tabulatien
did not express the strength of
opinion and careful thinking
which were shown in the hum
dreds of observations I received.
Stated in various ways, these
comments emphasized that delin-
quency among juveniles is essen
TALLY parental, local, and State
matter and that Federal interest
should be limited to assistance
only. 1t was apparent that Uncle
Sam should not be a great white

important, if not more so, for
this nation to maintain its
