1859 Economic State OF The Nation
Viewed Favorably In Area Forecast

modest increases in investment by
business in new plants and equip
ment in 1859. rising from sos bill
lion in 1883 to s33 billion this year
The Reserve bank said that the
forecasts are virtually unanimous
in holding that inventory liquidation
has run its course Estimates Of the
amount of inventory buildup range
from 81 billion to S. billion. with
a very heavy concentration in the
s. 10 to 50 billion area
The forecasts estimate that total
government OUTLAWS will reach S99
billion this year, more than seven
per cent above the 1888 total Fed
eral spending is estimated at about
s56,5 billion. while state and lo-
cal spending is estimated at $40 )
billion, the Reserve bank said

BENEFITS RAISED

The government has started mail
ing out fatter Social Security checks
to more than 1880 900 persons.
The checks reflect the seven per
cent average increase voted by Con-
gress last year.
Social S ecurity Commissioner
william L. Mitchell says the new
monthly total of insurance benefits
will be about $40 900 900. an in
crease Of $50, 200, 900.

Summarizing the opinions of 20
forecasters on the 1859 economic
state OF the nation. the Federal Re
serve Bank Of Richmond said in its
current Monthly Review that
There is not a pessinlist in the
lot.
All forecasts. said the Review
point toward expansion OF economic
activity in 1883. Most of them est
mate that the c0untry's Gross Ma
ti0nal Product nation 5 output Of
goods and services Will be around
$40 billion. a gain Of almost eight
per cent over 1883
fair number Of forecasters. the
bank said. indicate that they anti
cipate a slowing down Of business
ACTIVITY during the second half Of
1853 This is in keeping with what
many forecasters term second
halfitis, = bias that annually re-
suits in forecasts Of lower rates of
activity or declining trends in the
last six months Of any year.
Almost without exception. the
forecasts anticipate but small or
moderate price rises in consumer
end wholesale prices, the n k
noted.
Consumer Is Key
The forecasters say that con
sumo OUTLAWS rather than business
investment outlays are expected to
be the dominant spending forces in
the 1854 economy. The Reserve
bank said that the most frequently
cited figure for consumer spending
IS S306 billion, a rise Of SIS billion
from 1853 This increase would ac-
count for almost half the estimated
increase in total expenditures from
the 1859 output Of final goods and
services.
The Review stated that in the
forecasters' discussion Of the ire
turn Of the consumer to the dur
able goods market there is practi-
callv unanimous agreement that
sales Of new automobiles will
increase this year. going from 4.6
million sales in 1858 to SIS million
in 1859.
The Reserve bank said that the
forecasters have m e question
marks and areas Of doubt in the
field Of residential building. Most
Of them agree with the joint esti-
mate of the U. S. Department OF
Commerce and the U. S. Depart
ment of Labor that total new resi-
dental expenditures will increase
IL per cent to sos billion and new
housing starts will increase three
per cent The rise in expenditures
for private housing is expected to
stem mainly from continuation of
work on the unusually large mum
\ Der Of units started during the final
four months Of 1858. However, the
bank said. many forecasters fear
that enough allowance many not
have been made for the less favor

for 1855

hOSScCCi III Vic eiiAu SAouS
reader that is called what Is
Pink :" 1t tells about pink things,
and manages to rhyme while it
is doing so.
The third graders in Miss
Winifred Savage's class at Cham
bers School liked this poem, and
decided to make up others like it
about other colors. The results
are charming. The children drew
pictures first Of things they had
seen that had that other color,
and underneath their drawing
they wrote their poem about the
article. Here are some samples
and remember, with each one
there was a picture:
"What is black?
The night is black,
When witches and goblins
come back"
| sS
What is tan!
My dog is tan.
He eats food out of a can"
What is brown?
Our television is brown.
On Howdy Doody there is a
very funny clown"
what is red?
My coat is red.
do not wear it TO bed
For adults this would consti-
tute an amusing parlor game,
but the person who did best at it
would be accounted a very brill
liant fellow indeed. 1t is harder
than it looks to make rhyme and
sense fit; our readers might try
it on their own.
Caledonia
More creative work was shown
US this week at Caledonia School;
such things seem to run in cycles.
This time it was composed by the
little first graders in Miss Ellen
Messengers class.
A first graders biggest thrill
is learning to read, and the boys
and girls felt that they would
like to write original stories con-
tanning the words they knew. A
great many Of their stories were
about birds - this being Spring.
according to the calendar and
others were about calves. horses.
ponies. and similar subjects of
interest to first grade children.
Besides printing their stories.
many of the boys and girls drew
picture to accompany their
words. This is the way the read
ing book does, you know; the
! pictures fit the stories.
Here are a few:
81 saw robin or our back
porch. 1t was sitting down."
/ "Once there was a pigeon that
knocked on our window. We
threw out some bread crumbs.
But he still didn't go away. We
threw out more bread crumbs
and he went away"
"Once there was COW that
had birthday. The horse. the
bear and the cat were there. The
party was a picnic one year. The
horse died that year.
\ And then we like this one, that
contains a real pun:
"Once there was a little calf
in a barn. He wanted some milk.
He said. 'Maa-maa.' His mother
heard him say 'Maa-maa.' The
calf kept on saying 'Maa-maa'
all the day long"
Prospect
A third chapter in the surpris-
ing history Of our towns chill
dren this week comes from Pros
pect School. Some of the upper
grade children are learnin q
French.
l On Mondays, Wednesdays, and
Fridays each week, these boys
and girls bring their lunch to
Prospect and they must talk in
nothing but French during the
noon hour. They are taught by
Mrs. Marcelle Bliss. an instruc-
\ tor at Hathaway-Brown and
Laurel Schools and formerly a
