Business May
Show Decline
EorIy In 1868

Roger w. Babson, the noted
economist, makes the follow
ing forecast of business con-
ditions in the new year, which
The Advertiser presents as a
service and matter of interest
to our many subscribers and
friends:
The business situation will
vary with different industries
and hence with different CT
ties. Some defense centers
will boom; steel cities will
still find the going tough -
but better than a year ago.
Considering the high level
of the past ten years it will
not be surprising for 1868 to
show a moderate decline in
business. If So it should come
in the second or third quart
er, with recovery in the
fourth quarter, followed by a
rood 1864.
Disposable personal income
will remain high. With in
creased savings deposits and
little change in the cost-of-
living, the public should con-
tinue to spend freely, espe-
cially if merchants maintain
their advertising OUTLAWS.
Inventories will remain a.
bout the same during 1868.
But government spending will
increase over. So billion -
largely on defense - and 81
billion on new roads. Whet-
her manufacturers will hike
their expenditures for new
machinery in 1868 in view OF

compel the interest of its
readers, or attract new read
ers. Only by telling the truth
does a newspaper deserve to
live.
Our responsibility as a free
press is to arm our readers
with the facts so that they
will be able to do their own
thinking, form their own
opinions and act as free citi-
zens in a free society. This is
the only way we can defend
our heritage of freedom. Only
as we ourselves know the
truth and tell it, do we de-
serve to survive.
The truth is not always
pleasant = and by no means
is it easy to report and edi-
torialize upon.
If one lacks a conscience or
a backbone, it may be easy to
, ignore or omit the truth. And
sometimes we could be more
agreeable to do just that.
But ignoring the truth will
not change it, or make it go
away.
So our prayer for 1868 is
that We may continue to
serve all of the good people
of Lexington and Holmes
County with truth and honor
= and that together We may
enjoy peace, prosperity and
happiness throughout the
New Year.
