largely to the foreign
currency devaluations of last Sep
tember.
The record total of retail sales set
last year was $130,942,000,000 by de
partment calculations, and a fairly
common forecast by economists was
that this year will be “almost as
much—but not quite.’’
Department store sales were far
ing less well than retail stores gen-
jerally, with an average decline from
i last year of *ix per cent to the end
I of Novenrvber, and five per cent in
! the latest week reported by the Fed
eral Reserve board.
One reason department store sales
were under the general retail level
was that the latter has gotten a tre
mendous lift from the record-show
ing made by automobiles. ,

l During impressive ceremonies at
Valley Forge. Pa , recently, General
i Dwight D. Eisenhower presented Ki-
! wants International with a most
'honored medal award and a check
! for $1,500 on behalf of Freedoms
Foundation, Inc. The Foundation is
designed as a vehicle to provide an-
J nual cash awards tor American citi
zens and organizations that perform
.the most outstanding job each year
in bringing about a better under-
j standing of our American way of
life. J. Belmont Moser, immediate
past president of Kiwanis Interna- 1
tional, accepted the award for his
organisation.
Kiwanis International won the
award for developing and success
fully promoting the “It’s Fun to Live,
in America” program, a series of j
four-page pamphlets devoted to the
I basic principles of our American
way of Life. Designed to combat.
Communism, Socialism, and other
un-American ideologies, the first
. pamphlet was issued in January.
1948 The pamphlets, in plain, sim
ple language, set forth the common.'
everyday advantages that we Amer-
1 leans enjoy under our system of
government. .
A new issue of “It's Fun to Live in
: America" has been published each
month since January, 1948. Distri- .»
bution now totals over 27,000,000
j copies Business and professional ]
i men are utilizing the pamphlets as
inserts in payroll envelopes, state
ments, laundry bundles, grocery
i packages, and in many other'ways.
Thousands are being distributed
each month to school children
! The current "It’s Fun to Live in
America" pamphlet condemns waste
, in federal spending and appeals to
elected representatives to support
the recommendations of the Hoover
j commission report.
