HOW OUT PENSIONED
Workers.

When the cost of living climbs,
NOBODY suffers more than those
with a fixed income, such as
those living on pensions, social
security, or investments with a
set interest. After the end Of
World War II and after the Kor-
can War the swift uprush of liv-
Ing costs hurt such people
badly. Over the past five years,
while the pinch became very
family tighter, 1t did not intrude
SO bitterly upon disposable in
come of those with fixed spend
ing power as 1t had In previous
years.
I am often asked whether the
upspiral of retail prices and
rage rates that has persist
ed since the early 1905 will
continue Indefinitely. At present
there does not seem to be any
reason to expect a reversal of
this long-term wage-price in
f1ation. But there are many fac
tors which will be likely to hold
1t within reasonable check, at
least for a considerable length
Of time.
COMPETITION HAS IT'S VALUE
Perhaps the most powerful
checkrein on the consumer price
index over the past five years
has been competition, both
domestic and foreign. Rivalry
will become only the more in
tense over the period ahead, and
1t will be virtually impossible
for manufacturers or service
vendors to hike prices substan-
TALLY without losing their COM
petitive position In both domes-
tic and overseas markets. More
likely, savings will be sought
via wider chronological improve
ments and automation. This will
tend to hold at a minimum fur
Their wage-prics increases.

which comes after sunset and
precedes the quiet hour of dusk.
And there Is the word "meander"
which sounds like just what 1t
means. When you read Of the
brook meahdering through the
meadow, you get the picture.
The other day when I was
brushing UP the hearth, I thought
what good basic word 'tfire-
place" is. I can Just hear some
prehistoric housewife bastling a.
round her cave, saying to her
apouse, "Now here is our sleep
ing place, here we will eat, and
here in the corner will be our
Fire Place."
From past cons of time we have
busted ourselves establishing
fixed eating, sleeping and placing
Of fire for cooking and heating,
and we couldn't do without this
Security. Yet I know what Jack
London termed the "Ca1 of the
Wild" is within us all. am akin
to 1t when I listen to the wild
geese going over in the restless
wind, and I know what Millay
meant when she wrote: g
"n's little care what path I
take
And where It leads it's little I
care;
But out of this house, lest my
heart break,
I must go, and Off somewhere"
After this flight of fancy, I'll
bring myself back to my cave
with its place demanding atten-
tion, and we will have neat, do
nestle order with dishes washed,
beds made, and Fire Place swept.
The kids took me on nature
ride one evening this week. The
Dummies and the quail were out
feeding and we stopped and watch
ed a little gray squirrel sitting
on a stump and eating something
In his tiny paws. We stopped by
a soybean field to watch grace
ful young doe feeding near the
wood. The owner Of the field,
Mrs. Lynch, was wedding her
soybeans and came over to chat
with her cat, f'Sally". Together
we watched the little doe feeding
and playfully kicking up her heels.
We spoke of the fact that she
was eating soybeans, but Mrs.
Lynch said, @Oh, Well, thebeans
won't amount to much In the shad-
ow of the wood anyway" Now
there is a countrywoman with a
love of animals and a good ph11o-
sophy of life. Dusk came quick

her feet, the little deer vanished

This is one reason it is unwise to argue
about points of specific detail in a GER
tain story of the Old Testament, about
what one word or phrase or sentence
might imply.
Yet - in the face of Goddess COM

have violet controversy over specific
points in our various Christian relig-
ions. The disagreement is only normal ';
what we must strive for is disagree
ment with mutual respect In viewing
the Bible one must admit, especially
when considering the Old Testament,
that justification for many apparently
contrasting views can be found. Inter

Panama Is Touehy

FOR so years the United States has
been collecting some 25 million dollars
annually in tolls from tthe Panama Ca
nal. Each year it pays the Republic of
Panama something like half million in
easement fees. To an outsider this may
seem like velvet for the Panamanians,
who probably could not net that much
from the Cana Zone if they still owned
it.
But9the Panamanians have developed
what might be called sovereignty

the Panama flag to take precedence over
the Stars and Stripes in the Canal Zone.

Dear Friends:

Dear Friends:
Last Monday afternoon we met
the bus that stopped at Holm
Hall School, in Alexandria, Va.
and for the first time met Gloria
Neore-LemoS.
It was at Dawn's suggestion
that we have an American Field
Service student spend a week
with us, while the group was in
w ashington. Our Methodist
Church asked for families to
sign on the dotted line for a
guest. Lynne and Dawn both
wanted a Spanish speaking fe-
male since both had studied the
foreign language this year in
school.
The ATS students were in the
capitol as a wind-up Of their
year in the United States. Gloria
had spent a glorious year in
Salt Lake City as the guest Of
the physician and his wife and
four children. It must have been
a sad time around that house
when she left because she had
really endeared herself to them.
At every stop they made en-
route east there was a letter
waiting for Gloria from her
"Salt Lake City Family. AT
Christmas time her high school
in Utah made her their ball
queen and one of her proudest
possession was her rhinestone
7 tiara.
Today in Cali, Columbia,
South America our 18-year-old
"adopted" daughter will be well
coined home by her mother and
father and six brothers and SIS
tiers. Gloria was terribly
anxious to get home to her fam
lily, but she did hate leaving al
her friends in this country.
Her Salt Lake City classmates
presented her with a charm
bracelet. One charm announces
"Home is where the heart is
From that western city al
across the states Gloria en-
deared herself to her "telnpo-
rary" families. One place she
stopped was Topeka and wheI
she mentioned sailing In the

up and she brought us up Il

Service students and ! guess
they were royalty escorted until
the proper authorities were
found. We first knew she had
been In that city when we saw
the sterling Statue Of Liberty.
In D. c. their tour consisted
of inspecting the capitol, the
Smithsonian, having lunch at
their various embassies, band
concert at Watergate Band shell,
picnic by the Potomac and a
visit to the White House to meet
the President. Gloria said,
"He's cute" Perhaps you read
where the 2560 American Field
Service students mobbed PreSi-
dent Kennedy even to the point
Of grabbing his linen pocket
handkerchief, and tie clasp. The
PIT tie clasp was returned and
the foreign students received
another In place Of 1t. Gloria
was one Of the few who shook
JFK's hand and that night, her
final night with us, we presented
her with a sterling silver,
silhouette of Kennedy and she
seemed delighted to add this to
her North American bracelet.
Gloria was one Of $50 Column
bians to take an exam ito come
to USA as an American Field
Service student. Only IS were
accepted and she was one Of
two girls who passed. She is a
chemist major and will pursue
this field in college when she
matrfculates the first Of August.
On her left hand she proudly
wore her Cali High School Class
ring and on her right was the
Salt Lake City class ring her
classmates there presented to
her. L
Gloria said her columbian
papa was the pres-i-dent-te of
an insurance company. She said,
"Here in the United States you
call it Social Security" Her
welcome home party In Cali was
suppose to be a surprise to her,
but one Of her "country men"
Inadvertently said, "Can't wait
for your family's ball, Gloria"
She said a dance in the home
usually lasts until three in the
morning. I asked If they would
have an orchestra andJ she said
they probably would not because
the buffet usually was expense
enough. They would serve, tur-
key, ham and salads around two
in the morning and drinks added
to the expense. Then, too,
everyone there is chaperoned
and so the senior guests must
participate in the repast.

American beauty certainly

can relations with us. If ever
we do get to South America I'm

Bubson Discusses:
The COST OF LIVING

Babson Park, Mass, July IS.
A few years ago I used to hear
people grumbling about the high
cost Of living wherever l went.
The other day 1t occurred to me
that ! had not heard much COM
planning along those lines for
quite a while. Wondered whether
consumers had simply become
used to ever-climbing retail
costs or whether the long-term
climb had stopped without my
realizing 1t.

from the 10 annual boost of the
past five years. Gains have SIM
ply not been big enough to cause
grumbling.

him about the possibility of
marketing his dande1ion mixture.

PRICES VERSUS INCOMES

Beyond that, too, incomeshave
been swelling at a far more
rapid rate than have retail prices
of goods and services. Tracing
the figures back to 1947, about
half way between the emu OF
5orld gar II and the beginning
of the Korean Var, they show
that the cost of living has mov-
ed up 800 since that time. But
take looa at U.S.. incomes for
the same anan: Taey have climb
ed 1910. Even the rather abrunt
jumn In consumer prices from
1887 to 1859 q $40 1ooSs pale
beside the uprush of a4% In
personal income for the same two
year spell.
There is no question but that
American consumers are better
off right now than they were even
five years ago. They have the
actual money to buy more than
they ever have been able to be-
fore In our nation's history. And
would like to point out, also,
that the quality of goods obtain
able Is, on the whole, better
than ever. This applies not only
to our own goods, but even to those
being imported SO heavily from
foreign lands. This is a re-
Election of the improved indus
trial standards emerging In Wes-
tern Europe, South America, ia
pan, etc. And, of course, many
products from overseas are
available to our consumers at
prices considerably below those
OF our native goods, a boon for
| the buyer.

WHAT THE FIGURES SHOW

But here Is something that I
do not see commonly stressIl
IL the papers and magazines
Over the past five years, the
consumer price index has moved
ahead on average only 10 ayear.
While this does represent some
pressure on the upside, 1t shows
remarkable stability when you
consider that since 1889 the cost
Of living as measured by the
Labor Departn emit has sky
rocketed 1870. So 1t is not sur
prising that the average consum-
er has not suffered seriously
Scouting about In my business
library, Isoon found some figures
that I would like to pass along to
you, because / believe you will
be surprised at what they tell us
about the present economic con-
dition of the average American
family. Living costs have, of
course, been on the rise, long
term, ever since the pit of the
terrible depression of the early
1905. On several occasions,
especially after World War II, the
advances were spectacular, and
were keenly felt by all consum-
ers.

ratification by leaders of the

Though the miners gave
some ground in the settlement,
Gen. de Gaulle's prestige had
suffered. Early in the strike he
ordered the men back to the
pits under a requisition decree
threatening them with dismiss
sal, fines or jail. The miners
defied the order. And other
unions threatened a general
strike, contending the decree
abridged the right to strike.
The government did nothing
to enforce the order.
The miners had demanded
an IL per cent wage increase,
a 40-hour week and a fourth

crease and a restudy Of wage
scales in September.
The agreement provides for

reaches 12.5 per cent next April

The coal miners have been
averaging about $50 for a six
day, 46-hour week. They con-
tended their pay had not kept
up with wages in booming pri-
vate industries. The govern
ment resisted because 1t feared
having to grant similar in

industries, with initiation re-
sulting.
The De Gaulle government
faces wage demands from
utility and rail workers who
have added to the labor unrest

A government appointed

mended increases of between
81 and 3.6 per cent for elec-
trical and gas workers and a.
TO So per cent for railroad

better wages and hours, they

the board to draft settlement

period for negotiations.
Neither side is bound to &C

but such public findings in the
past have usually become the
