A Game With Figures
There is a popular came played by government econo
mists which could be called "Prove How Much More We Have
Now."
, The way it's played, you take the cost of the item say,
a pair of shoes Then you figure out how much they cost 30
years ago and how much they cost today. Then you issue a
statement telling how many hours it took to earn the pair
of shoes 30 years ago, and how much time at the grindstone
it takes to earn the same pair of shoes now.
The result Is always about the same. It takes a lot less
time to earn the shoes today. The formula calls for taking
the average hourly salary today compared with the average
30 years ago, and dividing it into the price of the shoes or
other commodity.
This is an Interesting pastime, which is useful because
it can be published to convince American people that they're
better off than ever before. And this very well may be true.
But the method of reaching the conclusion sometimes leaves
a little of the story untold.
It goes something like this, although the figures are not
from any statistical compilation they're just for the sake
of example:
A pair of men's shoes cost $5 in 1930, and the similar
product would cost $22 today. This seems to be quite an in
crease, but wait.
The average wage in 1930 was something like 40 cents
an hour. Today the some workman would be making $3.50
an hour. So it takes him 6.25 hours to earn the pair of shoes,
where in 1930 it would have taken 12.5 hours.
These would be very comforting figures, except for a few
small details. The guy who's making the $3.50 has a few
things to think about besides buying shoes. Like federal takes.
And state taxes. And sales taxes. And skyrocketing social
security tax (yes, it's a tax). And like compulsory insurance
taxes. And like hidden taxes.
Not only that, he's been so successful in improving his
position that today's worker is putting in fewer hours. He
may work only 37 to 40 hours a week. And if you think those
longer paid holidays and a bonus, remember that vacation
time usually costs considerably more than at work.
So the next time somebody tells you how much better
oft you are than beore and has figures to prove it, think
twice. Dad's 40 cents an hour might have been meager by
today's standards, but it somehow was enough so mom could
stay home and do the housework and not have to get a Job.
It may be because the statistics will never show how
many free pounds of liver or soup bones the butcher threw
In, or how long the corner grocer carried your account, with
out interest. Or many other things that made life more liv
able when the economy wasn't so free and easy.
One can't turn back the clock, so maybe it's a good thing
the government statisticians have come up with their formu
la. It make the citizenry more comfortable. And it also pro
vides employment for statisticians.
out into the world to make their
own success in life.
We look forward with antici
pation to our association with
Mr. and Mrs. Charlie Heard and
are confident that they will be
successful also in promoting
strength and security to the
communities in the county.
Jso at this time we want to
say thank you Helen for all the
good memories and we wish you
the very best in the many years
ahead.

REGENERATION
We never must admit to growing old
Nor recognize we're getting bald or gray,
So long as remedies are being sold
To keep us young until we're called away.
With colored hair or wigs to change our looks,
And undetected artificial teeth.
Though dietitians must derange the cooks,
It's easy to deny that Time's a thief.
We squeeze in tighter girdles to suppress
Reluctant tummies for a slimmer girth;
And exercise to gain more suppleness.
But mostly to prolong our stay on earth.
But comes a time we're face to face with truth:
There's no such thing as everlasting youth!
But just suppose the scientists succeed
In keeping bodies constantly renewed
With hearts and lungs, as doctors have conceived,
Would then life's span approach infinitude?
But one more answer scientists must give:
Where in the world would all these people live?
