Sunday, August 24, 1958 S MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, ORE. In the Day's News By FRANK JENKINS . i Good news which you I may not have heard: The National Industrial Conference Board (a private, j non-political organization) re-j ports the first drop in the cost of living in ' more thanj two years. The drop came in i July and amounted to one tenth of one per cent. j It was due, the NICB says, ; to dips in food, housing and ; wearing apparel costs. rpHAT is to say: -- If in July you spent; $100 for items included in the ; National Industrial Confer- j ence Boards index of con- sumer prices, the July drop j in the cost of living saved you TEN CENTS. DON'T scoff. Remember these prov erbs (proverbs are pithy words of wisdom distilled out of the experience of centur ies): A penny saved is a penny earned. Many a mickle makes a muckle. Every little bit added to what you've got now makes just a little bit more. J- drop in the cost of living carried a brief footnote. The footnote reads: "The drop brought a sigh of relief from ECONOMISTS, who have been disturbed by the steady rise in prices. Wkvl Well, economists are stu dents cf FACTS.
