CONSNMERS NEVER HAD IT SO GOOD We renewed our lease on the New York Cily apartment recently and it was the most cordial rent-signing occasion I've watched in my entire adult, life. Our rent is to go up during the next three years but at so modest a pace that, as Sumner whispered to me, "If I ride the subway instead of taking a cab two or three times a month, I'll more than have it paid." We're to get a complete paint job, new refrig erator, all the minor repairs I requested. Everybody smiled so much during the short discussion that I had to remind myself we were reaching a major financial agreement, not entertaining the landlords agent. In dramatic contrast to our apartment leasing expert ences since World War II, rent inflation will not be hitting our pocketbooks in the years ahead-and this goes for ttsjis of millions of you too. As part of the June-September shift of headquarters to the county, last month I sent several appliances out for repair, called in servicemen to recondition others. Out of curiosity, I checked the charges for the same repair jobs in June, 1962. Price increases amount to pennies. In dramatic contrast to our experiences with repair bills since World War II, repair inflation is not hitting our pocket books now either-and this goes for tens of millions of you as well. For a variely of reasons, I didn't get around to shop ping for a bathing suit, other staple summer clothing items until just before July 4. Wowl The bargains I saw in items of quality, of intriguing styles and colors and in my site were such that I said seriously to myself "you cannot afford not to buy two instead of one," I'm now slocked up on things that won't change in style and that I know I'll need in future summers. These are personal anecdotes but I tell them because my experiences as a houewife and shopper underline what I as a reporter have been writing since the late 1950's: we long ago entered and are still in a cycle of remarkable stability in living costs and if you time your shopping wisely you can slash your costs far beyond what the surface statistics suggest. The consumer price index of the Bureau of Labor Statis tics will go up in the next several months. By 1963's end, the odds are it will cost you $1.07-$1.08 to buy the market basket that a bit over $1.06 buys today and what $1 would have brought in 1957-59 (the base period of 100). As the index touches an all-time high month after month, the story will move out of the inside pages and onto the front page again. This is not and this will not be inflation. Even in the area of services-primarily responsible for pushing up the living cost index in the past years-the pace of rise has slowed from a gallop to a walk or crawl. Boosting the price index as 1963 rolls on will be higher prices for food; prices of fruits and vegetables will not de cline according to seasonal patterns because of the crop damage done by the winter freezes and the skyrocketing price of sugar. Also bosting the index will be firm to higher prices for used cars; the teenager population is exploding and the teenager now is becoming a major factor in the used car market. Tilting the index upward will be continued increases in the costs of medical and personal care. But the era of across-the-board hikes in consumer prices is history and there are no signs yet that a new cycle is starting. As on impressive illustration, the index oi prices if durable goods-the really big - ticket items of autos, appliances, house furnishings- is lower than four years ago. When autos are omitted, the dur able goods price index is 1.7 per cent below 1957-59. Price of refrigerators actually are lower than in 1940. This evidence of price stability is only one part of the story. The other part, indicated by the bargains I picked up in my belated summer shopping spree, is timing your pur chases to take advantage of the stores' major sales and clearances. The two best months for shopping the sales are January (the after-Christmas clearances) and July. You can achieve important savings for staples in clothing, house furnishings, accessories now. We as consumers, have never had it so good-in terms of the money we have to spend and in the varity, quantity, quality and price stability of the goods we want to buy. " """" '"""". ""t"""- WEDNESDAY. JULY 10. 1963 j Comedian Danny (aye Learns Russians Capable of Laughter Editor's note: C o m d i a n , derstandable that is to say j denly she got very embarrass-1 The reaction was immediate. 1 1 could not talk li rnrh mhrr I w ,.. .....71. .. . Danny Kaye has been attend ing the Moscow film festival as an American ambassador of good will. In the following ex clusive dispatch, he tells of sharing laughter with the Russians. By DANNY KAYE Written for UPI Moscow lUPU Believe it or not, the Communists are just as capable of laughing as the guy next door. 1 didn't come to Moscow to see the men who run the Kremlin or to clown for them. I didn't come merely to see the sights of Moscow's third Inter national Film Festival, but I certainly did come to see the people and to reaffirm my be lief that laughter is truly uni versal. Before leaving the United States, I had some reserva tions about going to Russia, even though I was extremely curious to see what it was like. I had originally declined to attend the film festival, but when the State Department urged me to go to Moscow on a people-to-people mission and when the United Nations Chil dren's Fund (UNICEF) asked me to visit Soviet children's institutions, I readily accept ed. They React To Laughter I thought that in a country where the political ideology is so diametrically opposed to ours, in a country where the mere mention . of capitalism causes a nervous twitch, in a country where our society is frowned upon, I feared that people would not react quite the same to laughter. I found, however, that they do react to laughter with warmth and friendship and that they have the same emo tions, fears and hopes that we have. I had a better opportunity to observe the people in Mos cow than possibly any other ritv T have visited in recent years, because I quickly dis covered that I could walk in the streets completely un noticed. None of my pictures has ever played here and no one knew who Danny Kaye was. As a matter o fact, when I was coming to Moscow one Rusian movie fan asked, "I hear she is a good actress. Is she pretty?"

When I took a walk in the middle of Moscow one night, t on a ijroun of boys teach ing some girls how to do the bossa nova right there on the sidewalk. I chuckled because that could have been any where in Greenwich Vil lage, the Sunset Strip in lioi loywood or Gollyvood (as they say in Russian). T have talked with Soviet officials, actors, film produc ers, ballet dancers, factory managers, welfare workers, nurses, doctors, hospital at tendants and many otners. Rut inst about the best fun I had, and one of the most ex citing experiences, was an afternoon I spent playing with 600 children at a pio neer (youth organization) camp. Mv visit was arranged by Prof. Georgy Mitricv of the Soviet Red Cross and ilea Crescent.

Clark, trust of ficer of the Medford branch, First National bank, urged in an address here Tuesday at the Rogue Valley Country club. . Speaking at a luncheon meeting of the Medford Ro tary club, Clark pointed out that usually it is ignorance, procastination or reluctance to realistically face inevit able death which keep a man from taking this important step. Failure to have a prop erly executed will can mean an added tax load on the estate and often uanticipated problems in the division of property, insurance and sav ings among beneficiaries. Included in the times in a person s life when review of a will is "must", Clark list ed marriage, divorce, change of residence, birth of chil dren entry into business or partnership and changing ownership of property He outlined legal aspects of joint ly held property with right of X survivorship and the differing inheritance laws in various states. A Personal Matter Making a will is a person al matter, Clark emphasized, and the person making a will should not hesittate to take his lawyer into fullest confi dence as to his family, his in come and property holdings, family debts, insurance and all matters affecting his estate. To establish such a relation ship is to assure a will that will carry out personal wish es of the family head. Con tributions to charities can be set up in a trust to lessen the impact of inheritance taxes. Clark advised wives to also have wills, and husbands to be sure that their wives know where the wills are kept, the status of family finances, the provisions of insurance pol icies and the name of the lawyer familiar with affairs of the family. Robert C. Ross, vice presi dent and manager of the First National Bank here, intro duced the speaker. mm Q3E m understandable to me. It was really very touching. I kissed her check and sud ed, but then I . pretended I was embarrassed too, and cov ered my face with my hands. The reaction was immediate. From then on the children lost any reserve tney had. Even though the children and I could not talk to each other, I found that behaving like a child with children made for immediate communication. we piayed games, sane songs, and danced together. It could have happened any where in the world. It leaves me with the hoDa that someday, somehow, our children will grow up in a peaceful, happy world. COLOR I - E TWO ONLY G.E.
