subject Of thinking Of others.
what is the safest course TO
pursue. so that no hard feel
ings will result, when you
receive a gift from someone
for whom you haven't
bought anything. OF course.
II the gift is received before

1t helps TO have a few

be given In such cases. But
II this Is not done. particu-
larry II an unexpected gift is
personally presented on
Christmas Day. giving q re-
turn gift the next day would
obviously be an afterthought.
Therefore, in this case. It
would seem that q gracious
thank you is sufficient. Then
drop It.
Also. there is the ques-
tion Of Christmas cards that
are received from someone
you haven't had on your list.
It doesn't show appreciation
to promptly place your card
in the mail when you know
that 1t viii not be received
until after Christmas. It only
calls attention to your over
sight. In my opinion, q much
more gracious way TO handle
this situation Is TO send q
New Years greeting card,
writing on 1t your apprecia-
ton Of their Christmas
thought Of you.
Whether 1t be in our deal
ings with the family. our
friends or acquaintances, I
think we should all hold on
TO the spirit Of Christmas

Just material things. such as
gifts and cards, but through
kindness and consideration

thought that 1t might do well

young lady and her new part

punches, represent the serial
number, and the twelfth indicates
it is a Series E bond. The thirteenth
column is reserved for special ac-
counting operations by the Trea-
suary when the bond is cashed.
Other than the smaller size, the
punches, and the flexible cardboard
stock on which it is printed, the
new bond looks very much like the
old one 1t contains about che same
wording and illustrations.
One exception is the wording,
"eight years and eleven months
from the issue date x" This
change in maturity from mine
years and eight months" reflects
the increase in the interest rate
from 3 to 3A per cent, effective on
bonds. bought since February 1,
1857. The new table of redemption
values also appears on the back.
The other exception: most of the
punch card bonds carry the sigma
ture of the new Secretary of the
Treasury, Robert B. Anderson, who
succeeded George M. Humphrey on
July 29.
So don't worry when your next
Savings Bond is "shot full of

Philadelphia Federal Reserve Bank
Reports On 'H0uses and Care:
What HaPPend TO Demand?"

What has happened to the de-
mand for houses and cars since
1855?
A lot of it has been discouraged
by high prices, according to an
article in the October Business
Review" of the Federal Reserve
Bank of Philadelphia
The Bank explains that house
and car prices have risen nearly
twice as fast as the average of all
other prices since 1947 But that
this rapid rise was disguised for
the credit buyer until 1855 by a
general stretchout in terms.
From 1947 to 1855 the selling
price of cars rose by about 80 per
cent. So that a car that sold for
$4,000 in 1947 costs about $4,000
in 1855.
The cash buyer saw the 80 per
cent rise clearly.
In 1947, however, the time buy
er pretty much was limited to "a
monthly installment payments. Ii
he made a down payment of $500
he had to pay off the $1,000 bal
ance at the rate Of about $57 per
month plus insurance and financ-
ing charges. In 1855 the time buy
er was able to get 36 month terms.
Assuming the same $500 down
payment, he paid off the $1,000
balance at the rate of about $55
per month plus insurance and fl
nancing charges.
The time buyer, eyes glued on
monthly payments, didn't feel the
rise at all.
Since 1855 car prices have risen
by about s per, cent. The car that
cost $4,000 in 1855 sells for more
than $2,80O today.
The cash buyer sees this s per

u. S. Savings Bonds
Have Gone Streamline

Don't be surprised if that United
States Savings Bond you buy from
now on looks and feels a little diff
ferent-it's just gone streamline.
In keeping with the electronic
brain and other advancements of
the modern era, the new Series e
bond is going to have more
punch. In fact, it's full of punch
es-13 of them. But don't let these
worry you. They're just another
sign of progress in this day of
mechanization. And, incidentally,
will save you 100000 tax dollars
year in reduced printing costs.
The Treasury says the only
other Savings Bond now offered,
the current income H bond, will
continue to be printed on paper
stock in the old size.
The punch card bond is smaller
than its predecessor, and will be
handler to carry in mans coat
pocket or a lady's handbag. ut
might even prevent some of those
washing machine tragedies, caused
when the fellows had to fold the
old bond, then forget to remove it
from a shirt pocket.)
The new size will also make it
easier to stow away bonds in your
strong box or bank safety deposit
box. The actual size of the new E
bond is 7ss by 3A inches. The old
bond is 7% by Az inches.
For any who might be curious
about the 13 punches, the Treasury
offers this explanation. The first
punch denotes the size of the bond.
For example, a 800 bond would
have a punch down in the fourth
position. The next 10 columns, or

cent rise clearly.
In 1855, time buyers were able
to secure SO month terms. Assum-
ing $500 down payment, the month
Iy payments came to about S55. To-
day the time buyer still may get
SO month terms. With the same
$500 down payment, the balance
has to be paid off at the rate of
about SCI per month plus insurance
and financing charges.
The time buyer, eyes still glued
on monthly payments, sees the rise
clearly.
Suffice it to say that the same
general pattern has been charac-
teristic in housing as well as auto
mobiles. A steady per cent in
terest charge was used in all of
the above computations.
In addition, the article adds,
there is some evidence of consum-
er disenchantment with automo-
biles. More thought pieces" are
being written about the foolish
ness of the new cars.
"How long and low can they
get? Already they've outgrown
garages and scraped driveways. "
"More horsepower so we can go
faster bumper to bumper"
There is evidence in addition to
the written word to substantiate
the disenchantment, says the Bank.
The biggest cars-once the symbol
of wealth-are slowly being re-
placed with small sport cars. This
is confusing to many consumers.
Why move up to bigger cars when
many tastemakers" are buying
smaller ones? Maybe it's better to
wait and see what's going to hap

best suited to your needs.
other questions:
HOW CAN YOU DISGUISE THE
SEAMS IN DRY-WALL CON-
STRUCTION so THAT THEY
DON'T SHOW THROUGH THE
PAINT?
There's handy item on the mar
ket for this purpose. It's perforated
tape, about 2 inches wide, which
binds and seals the seams, and
generally is made of heavy paper
and fiber.
Strip the tape over the seams,
then spread a coat of spackle over
the tape, feathering the Spackle out
beyond the edges of the tape.
Allow the spackle to dry thor
oughly, then use a fine grade of
sandpaper to smooth any small
ridges. Then apply coat of thinned
shelIac over the spackled areas. At
ter the shellac dries, the dry wall
and seams are ready for painting.
CAN YOU GUARD AGAINST
NAILS SWELLING THROUGH A
DRY WALL AND SHOWING UP
UNDER THE PAINT?
Be sure, first of all, that dry wall
nails are used in putting up the
walls. These nails have lot OF
holding power but they must go into
solid piece of wood for maximum
security.
After the nail is driven in to a
point where the head is even with
the dry wall, tap the nail once
more with the hammer. This will
leave the head of the nail Slightly
depressed below the face of the
wall.
Fill the depression with spackle,
let it dry, then sand it lightly to
make sure the surface is smooth.
A coat of thinned shellac over the
spackle and the walls are ready for
painting.
CAN YOU LAY NEW ASPHALT
TILE OVER OLD TILE?
Most manufacturers and floor tile
installation men recommend that
old floor coverings be removed be-
fore new tile is installed. This is
the best insurance for good Jop.
If the old tile floor was properly
installed, however, and is smooth,
even and solid underfcot there
should be no real problem in lay
ing new tile over it. The old tile,
though. must be completely free OF
all oil. dirt, wax or other sur
face preparations.
If this is the case, proceed with
the new tile as you would on top OF
sub flooring. Spread the adhesive
on top of the old tile and carefully
place the new tile working only on
small area at time.
A felt lining also coulde be placed
first on top of the old tile. This
would add resiliency to the new
flooring. But remember that the
felt underlining and the new tile
are going to add considerable
height to the flooring when placed
over old tile flooring.
