problems Of a gifted teacher
(Jason Evers), who has head
aches of his own. A lonely,
doomed boy, passionately de-
voted to letters, ridiculed by
classmates, can be a character
of shattering appeal and it is
to the credit of the director
and acting company that it was
handled, generally speaking
with restraint. It wasn't always
believable, of course. 1t is one
thing to say that a boy has a
Enthusiastically original mind and
quite another to prove it in the
writing. Trilling's story should
have been set back in time; the
college, with its values, seemed
dated, the classroom discussions
remarkably dull-in view of the

has received to date: and
what pieces she would like to
receive. Whether her parents
have given her a complete
silver service or just the basic
place settings, no gift would
be more welcome to the bride
who is collecting sterling than
additions to her set.
There is a wide price
range, to suit any budget.
You might want to add a
bon-bon spoon or pickle fork
in her pattern for around
$500. a handsome pastry
server or serving spoon for
less than $14.00, or a four.
piece place setting for under
$4,000. Additions to her china
and crystal sets are also easy
to select and sure to please.
Be very sure Of a brides
tastes before you send a
monogrammed gift. Remem-
Der. she can't return it. The
bridal registry will tell you
whether or not she is having
her silver or crystal mono
grammed, and if so, what the
marking is. Do not have sill
yer or crystal marked unless
the bride has indicated that
she wants this done. Ditto
for linens and furnishings.
Linens and furnishings, by
the way, should not be given
unless you're very sure of the
brides color schemes for her
new home. The bridal regis
try will tell you what colorS
the bride prefers, or you
might ask the brides mother
or best friend.

Guidepost for Gracious Givinq
Offered forPickinqBride's Gift

The pleasure of receiving
wedding gifts comes just
once in a lifetime, but We
often have a chance to enjoy
giving. There are no rules"
of gift giving. but there are a
few guidepoSts that make a
gift more graciouSly given
and gratefully received.
If the wedding happens to
be that of your own daugh-
ter, there is the lovely tradi-
ton of giving sterling silver
flatware. Most brides dream
of having sterling, and more
and more families follow this
tradition today.
For friends and relatives,
the most important thing to
remember is to give some
thing that you're reasonably
sure the bride and groom will
want. A bride is sentimental
about her wedding gifts, and
it's embarrassing-as we'll as
inconvenient-for her to have
to exchange them.
The Registry
The easiest and most ac-
curate way of finding out
what would be most welcome
is to consult the bridal regis
try in the store where the
bride has registered her gift
preferences. If you don't
know where she is registered,
it's perfectly correct to call
her mother and ask.
The bridal registry will list
the brides pattern choices in
silver and other table ap-
pointments; the pieces she
Evening star., 1962-04-29

The gift is usually pur-
chased as soon as possible
after the receipt of the we'd
ding invitation or announce
ment. It is always addressed
to the bride even if you are a
friend of the groom. The
store where you buy the gift
will send it to the bride-to-
be's home, if you plan to send
it. Wedding gifts may be
hand delivered by you prior
to the wedding if you wish,
or on the day of the cere-
mony. if this is the custom
where you live.
Send Card
OF course, a card is always
enclosed. Most stores furnish
gift cards, or you may en-
close your own. If you use
an engraved or printed visit
ing card, it's nice to add a
brief personal note of good
wishes.
If for some reason you
can't send a gift until after
the wedding, enclose a note
explaining the reason for the
delay. Delayed presents are
addressed to the newly mar
ried couple and sent to their
new home address.
Since few brides come under
the category of "the girl who
has everything" it's usually
a waste of effort to seek out
rare and unusual gifts. In
stead, give her something
beautiful that you know she
wants and can use, such as a
piece of sterling in the pat
tern she has selected.

ployment rate remains high,
why We are failing to use plant
capacity as fully as we should,
why there is a squeeze on prof.
its, why wage increases have
slowed. why prices are so steady.
OF course. overall. the econ
omy is at record highs: if we
weren't setting new records in
comparison with 1861, we'd be
in q downturn which no one
could deny. But despite the
peaks, the economy is showing
signs Of recurring tiredness,
continuing transition.
Why? Four major reasons are

Cd prices; (4) taxes. To be
specific:
An increasing chunk of the
average family's dollar is going
to services-medical and per-
Sonal care, education, house.
hold operation and repairs, etc.
Prices Of these services con-
tinue their relentless climb. A
smaller percentage is going into
the products which provide the
largest number of jobs and pay
checks. q larger percentage
into services which cushion the
economy but don't expand. This
trend is still strong.
Competition among Unite d
States industries and between
United States industries and
foreign producers never has
been so rough. This competi-
ton is healthy, but it certain
ly makes 1t tougher to earn a
profit. The days or easy prof.
its and fat profit margins are
gone.
Profit Squeeze Cited
While industry's overhead d
costs, wages. salaries and state
and local taxes have been ris-
ing, the whole economic back
ground is working against price
increases to cover these costs.

Economic Period
Is Frustrating

The United States economy
is moving through q frustrat-
ing period of transition, DOM
mated by fierce competition, re-
markable price stability and
slack growth.
We moved out of the post
war boom in the 1950s. Long
since filled have been the enor-
nous demands for all sorts OF
goods which gave businessmen
the good times, made initiation
airy price and wage increases
easy and tinted the economy
with a feverish glow.
We are not yet into the ex-
pansion expected from the mar
riages Of postwar babies.

derston. vice chairman Of the
Federal Reserve Board of Gov
ernors, put 1t recently "in the

stocking boom after the war
and the maturing Of the bump

Finally, the tax load, which
was obscured during the imme-

that under present circum-
stances taxes are pulling too
much cash out of our economy,
stiffling recovery and paving
the way for recession.

and by businessmen, the end of
