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.

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,

bossa nova right there on the
sidewalk. I chuckled because
that could have been any
where in Greenwich Vil

they say in Russian).
T have talked with Soviet
officials, actors, film produc
ers, ballet dancers, factory
managers, welfare workers,
nurses, doctors, hospital at

Rut inst about the best fun I
had, and one of the most ex
citing experiences, was an
afternoon I spent playing

Trust Officer of Bank Discusses Wills at Rotary
Every man should have a
will and should frequently
and carefully look it over,
Lawrence L. 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.

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.
