Albert L. Kraus of the New York Times
ilescribes our changing nation in these words:
“In grandfather’s day, the typical American
consumer paid rent for a flat, rode to work
in a streetcar., sent his starched coflars to a
laundry and for entertainment/ took his wife
to a vaudeville theatre oceasionlaly.-Today he
owns a house in the suburbs, drives'an auto
mobile to work, gives his wife no-iron shirts
to process in an automatic washer-dryer, and
watches television for entertainrhertt — all
largelv because of .consumer credit.”
( Mrs Francis Smith Hunt jump-
; ed from her 1950 Chevrolet which
had stalled' on the tracks as the
train approached.
Patrolman J. A. Edens who in
vestigated said that the train had
left when he arrived at the scene,
but Mrs. Hunt told him it was a
Seaboard train. «
The car was knocked about 40 j-j
feet off the track aid was spun j;
around. Patrolman Edens said the ;;
car probably was a total loss. The 8
train was enroute from Green-
wood to Clinton when it smashed
into' the car at the county road
crossing. i g

No wonder people are wondering if it pays toj
save. They had better .wonder — because this-
creeping price rise, this creeping inflation, contin- 1
ue- unabated. If the rate of inflation for the past!
year continues, then a dollar m the bank now’ wilb
lose IT - of its value over the next five years; $100|
interest on a fixed income investment now will bei
w-orth only $83 then; a $1,000 annuity now will be;
w’orth only S830 then. J
All these figures are no reflection on saving;!
they are a reflection on things we are doing that!....,., ’riii-nc
make saving unprofitable. Saving is supposed to J ’’ * *» 1 1
be profitable, else, generally speaking, there is nof
incentive to save.. And without saving, our eed-{
nomic system w r quld soon falter and our way of
life eventually disappear.
What w£y as & people, must do is decide we
want to stop inflation, disagreeable though the
process of doing so may be. We must then demand
of our public officials and legislative bodies that
they take thle necessary steps to stop it. Other
wise, we shall eventually suffeh the same exper
ience that all other nations of history have suffer
ed that have allowed inflation to continue un
checked. »
No, Benjanun Franklin was not wrong. He was
eternally right. It is high time we were relearning
the lesson he taught us and re-establishing the sys
tem that made what he said so true.
