THE CLINTON CHRONICLE
Median Family
Incofne Rises To
$3,320 Annually
Wrshmgton. Ju'.y 24—The median 1
O! :' , ..:id'.e-sized income of American
l;m:l;es rose to S3.320 last year.
Reporting this today, the federal
reserve board said the median fam
ily neome \vas $400 a year larger
than in 1947 and $720 larger than
jri 1946.
(Median income means midlle in-;
<( me m the sense that half the fam
ine.' made more than the median and
half less.) . V
The board noted that $3,320 was
reduced to 3.000 by federal income
taxes.
The figure reflects the total in
come of all members of a family liv
ing under one roof whether or not
they pooled it to pay expenses.
The board obtained its data in a (
sample survey of consumer finances
made for it by the University of
Mich.gan servey research center.
The report indicated a reversal of
a long-time trend: the (Concentration t
of m6re and more U. S. income in
the hands of fewer and fewer per- 1
sons
As a matter of fact, there may
have been a slight decrease in the
proportion of total .neome going to
the top three-tenths of the popula-
tion. v the board said.
“In 1948. this group received about
S8 per cent of total consumer income
as compared with approximately CO
per cent in 1947.”
Other survey findings:
Income increases during 1948 were
most frequent among those in the
under-$400 income bracket, and
among clerks, salesmen and profes
sional workers.
Money incomes of less than $1.-
000 were found most frequently^ in
small family groups living in rural
areas and headed by persons 55 years
old or more.

50 and 25 years services to Masonry
1 were presented to two-score persons.
•“Let’s nt kid ourselves into be-
; lieving we can live on' federal aid,”
Colonel Risher said. “There is no
such thing. You are the Federal
Government and any Federal aid
you get is money you took out of
one pocket and put—greatly dimin
ished—,nto the other.”
He called upon Masons in the
state to “lead the way to a sound
economic security—to prevent the
United States from getting into the
same economic condition as Eng

the last breath of what was once a
great nation—dying because of so
cialism.” i
Conclud.ng, the colonel declarde:
“hen America is bankrupt, a dic
tator will arise here. Don’t kid
yourself. It will come if fyou sell
your birthright for a false economy—
for the security of federal aid.”
