of living. And it is far harder to
adjust ones tastes downward than
to raise them upward
Higher wages are partly RESPONSE
Bile for the continued rise in personal
incomes. However, these increases
in pay rates are cause for con-
Germ to producers, since they add to
the cost Of doing business. Coupled
with lower sales in certain lines,
they further squeeze profits.
Conclusions
All in all, coming months should
show a modest improvement over
the lows Of the summer months
But the degree Of improvement is
dependent on a revival of consumer
expenditures, which in turn are af-
fected BY capital OUTLAWS and by
changes in government spending

Letters To Editor
Birds Add Color
To Beautiful Nature

Editor of Herald:
While Mother Nature is attired

seems an opportune time to re-
count some of the activities OF my
dear bird friends.
They render such lovely music
these days. although some Of the
migrants have taken their depar
ture and will enjoy a warmer eli
mate. It seems quite strange that
the female hooking birds should
leave their mates and go south

spend the entire year with US, and

month Of the year, or it is my

All Of my birds join me in
wishing you the best of health
and happiness. Don't fail to feed
the birds. Be sure to drive care
