in recent months, and this is
a clear signal that consumers
feel better about spending.
Fact No. 4: Installment
debts are well under control
and millions of families have
room to increase their buying
on the inStallment plan when
and as they're ready to do so.
InStallment debt is at $42.5
billion now, almost exactly
where it was a year ago, con-
siderably below the $43.3 bill
lion total in December Of 1860.
None of this adds up to a
super-boom in buying, and
there are no signs that we're
off on another spree. We're not
hungry for goods. We're spend
ing an increasing percentage Of
our dollar for Services-tra
recreation, education, personal
and medical care. Unemploy-
ment is a curb and even a
family earning more than ever
before cannot help feeling re-
strained in an area where job
leSSnesS is heavy.
This background is a cheer
full one for makers and re-
tailers of all sorts of mer-
chandise in these closing weeks
of 1861.

Szymczak Sees
Need for More
Fiscal Control

CHICAGO, Nov. 20 (AP).-
A former governor of the Fed
eral Reserve Board said today
that the United States balance
of payments deficit has made
discipline in economic and
fiscal policies a must.
M. S. Szymczak, who retired
from the board last June and is
now a financial consultant in
New York, told a convention of
the United States Savings and
Loan League that monetary
policy alone, even at its best,
cannot provide us with the high
stable level and growth we
seek"
He said that business and
government tend to rely unduly
upon monetary policy-regula-
ton OF Government securities
and currency-becauSe it must
be based sometimes upon in
adequate economic information
and hampered by inflexible
fiscal policy.
Fiscal and other policies,
both by government and by
industry and labor, must be
properly co-ordinated to move
in the same direction, to the
same end" Mr.. Szymczak said.

1t isn't likely that the Ford

George ROmney'S advice when
it brought out the new FairIane
500 last week. but the car
makes a lot of sense.
Two years ago Mr.. Romney,
president of American Motors,
observed that unless Ford and
Chevrolet models become COM
pact, they will lose their lead
ership position.
He added that introduction
of the Fairlane and Chevy II
to the compact field this year
indicates "the two top sellers
are moving to hold their posi-
tions by further invasion of the
burgeoning pompact field"
With only brief, week end ex-
perience in the Baffin blue
Fairlane with optional V-8
power and standard stick shift,
I find it has all the earmarkS
of a fine acknowledgement
ance, performance and inte-
rior. 1t is quiet and agile to
the point of being eager.

Biggest YuIe Buying Forecast
~ SYLVIA PORTER

We're heading into the big
gest Christmas buying on rec

This forecast is based on
facts about personal incomes.

savings and debt positions and
buying activities.
A rise of 3 per cent in
Christmas sales over the pre-
vious record seems a conserva-
tive projection and this increase
viii mostly reflect larger in
dtvidual checks and total vol
ume, not higher prices. 1t sure
ly will indicate sharply stepped
up buying of luxury and semi
luxury gifts by the typical
shopper.
Fact No. l: Personal in
comes are at new peaks, and
this Of course, is the founda-
ton for the forecast. Personal
incomes at last count were
running at $420 billion a year,
SIT billion above the February
low. Buying power after taxes
is running at $367.8 billion
more than 81 billion a day for
every day of the year, and a
level never before reached,
That personal incomes and
buying power after incom e
taxes are creating a base for
an unparalleled Christmas is
indisputable.

Fact No. 8: Fro the first

not that total savings deposits

haven't, and just the constant

Some humorous relief developed at the other
end of the age spectrum. A teacher of the fourth
grade of Johnson Avenue School in Ronkonkoma
N. " asked her 81 charges to suggest, after con-
sutation with their parents, what they would like
to have invented. And they came up with great
array of suggestions, including everything from
machine that would keep boy dirty shoes cleaned
and polished to pencil that would write what you
tell it to Chats the way) and liquid which, if
properly applied, would make boy invisible.
Magic football shoes
In what take to be the same age bracket as the
Ronkonkoma fourth graders, l had suggestion from
boy in Granada Hills, Calf, that is pure poetry:
football shoes that would make me run swiftest
and with much power and cunning" And another
boy, living in New Orleans Graves an instant snow
ball machine.
Rejecting increasing awareness of the terrors
of nucear warfare, lot expressed lively interest
in the invention of lightweight, falloutproof suit.
In this general zone there was suggestion from
Pasadena, Calf, clearly designed to make the best
of two worlds "a swimming pool quickly converti-
BILE into fallout shelter.
Any number of my correspondents want
thing invented to eliminate noise. They call for
quiet arconditoners, quiet vacuum cleaners, quiet
power mowers, quiet and buses, jetplane senc-
ers, effective apartment-house insulation, sound
proof windows, electronic noise buffers, etc., etc.,

gestions that what's desperately needed is light
that will fash on inside when woman opens her
handbag, and thus make less excruciating the time
she spends paving through it for the things that

woman's handbag with sort of trapdoor at the bot
