To Remain Stable Says Specialist Prices that Oregon families will pay in the year ahead will be much the same as they have been, according to Miss Mary Beth Minden, Oregon State col lege extension home manage ment specialist. For the past three years, con sumer prices' have net varied much, she said. The rise in con sumer prices nationally has been only a little more than one per cent since January, 1952. Miss Minden foresees very little change in the year ahead. Farm families can expect gen erally a little less net income next year, she said. Many other families will have a shifting in come, with no general up or down pattern. For safe planning, she suggests families consider chances for less income. With these possibilitie, it will be even more important for fam ilies to do a good job buying and planning, Miss Minden said. Many of them will need to con sider how to stretch their money. The home management spe cialist recommends a three-point program for the family's 'pock- etbook planning. It includes in come, prices and how to manage. Planning, scheming, and spendmg know-how are all tools which help us use our moneey and other resources wisely," she commented. "Using these tools to advantage can make a differ ence in our living in the . year ahead." Miss Minden discusses outlook prices for food, clothing, home furnishings and equipment, serv ices, and housing in a new ex tension publication, "The Famly Looks Ahead, 1955." This leaflet is available through county ex tension agents or Oregon State college.
