Grocery bills are expected to re main at the 1059 level, according to Food Engineering. Food sales and profits will ri.se, it predicts. Sales are expected to show a 5.5 per cent increase and profits may go up as much as 7.5 per cent. Food manufacturers, wholesalers and retailers are expected to spend some 15.5 per cent more for ad vertising, market research and technical research. Strong factors in the sales-profit oicture are a four million rise in the nation's population and a four t- six per cent upsurge in consum er disposable income. Fifteen-to-IOycai-olds will in crease in number by more than 60 per cent in the next decade. Teen-agers consume 20 per cent mora calorics than adults, the food makers point out. The big food companies almost all expect private label competi tion to be keener. The wider range of choice offered customers will put more emphasis on the im portance of preselling, hence the homemaker will read much more about new products than previous ly. The professional laundry indus try expects 1060 to be one of its best years in recent times. The American Institute of Laun dering announces that a survey conducted throughout this person al service industry indicates a 7.2 per cent increase in business this year over 1059. About one-third of the na tion's professional laundries re portedly are planning to introduce new services this year. The most popular new lines are shirt rentals and sales, mop rental, the supply of aprons and slacks and luster and more economical home linen service. The day of the shirt box used by laundries has passed. Price bikes ranging from three to 10 per cent are in store for users of pa per products during the first quar ter of 1960, according to Purchas ing Week. Kraft board is expected to Cost about four dollars a ton more, an increase of three per. cent, and even printing paper will go up in price. Meanwhile, business is expected to be good on the Pacific Coast Oregon's tourist income showed a jump of some $20 million in the year just past to a new high of around $175 million for h)59. Oregon's ba?ic service indus tries, the utilities, transportation and communications are continu ing their development programs in order to meet fully the demands of our expanding economy. tfphlSM 1 1 (Ml SON Klamath Falls (To tbe Editor) Autoist warned by chief of po lice for going through stop signs on Main Street intersecting West Side Bypass: Let those living in glass houses throw no stones. Tuesday, December 29, about 10:30 a.m., my grandson and myself followed a city police car out Main Street through the stop signs (no slops) out Riverside Drive to across from tho power company plant, where the police ear slowed down, then pulled to the right side of the street to turn around, 'giving no turn sig nals or no slow down signal, nor did the officer have a stop light W. M. Jameson 3260 Anderson Avenue Dangerous Division By PHIL NEWSOM UPI Foreign Editor One of the pressing problems left unsolved by the recent West ern summit conference ' in Paris was the dangerous economic - di Vision developing between Eu rope's "inner - six and "outer seven." Aside from the rations directly Involved, the conflict also repre sents a basically on lor cut ap proach to a United States of Eu rope as advocated by the United States of America on the one hand and Great Britain on the other. Both the "inner six" and the "outer seven" are trade groups set up to knock down tariff bar riers within each group, while re taining trade barriers against each other. In the "inner six" are West Germany. France, Italy. Belgium Holland and Luxembourg, with a total population of 170 million. In tha "outer seven" ar Great Britain. Sweden. Norway, Dwi- mark, Switzerland, Austria and Portugal, with a population of 90 million. While each is a trade group, the "inner six" actually goes much further than trade. Its mem bers see it as the beginning of a program which will link Eu rope politically. It has had tha firm support of the United States on the theory that a united Europe would great ly strengthen the defensive capa bilities of the North Atlantic Treaty Alliance (NATO). That it also might divide Eu rope had not been foreseen, The division arises from the fact that the common market of the inner six also requires the surrender of a certain amount of sovereignty. This, Britain especial ly, was unwilling to do. The British believe that economic and political matters should remain separate. Seeing itself thereby shut out from the common market and fearing the effects on its own trade, Britian therefore hastily set up the "outer seven." Hence the economic war devel oping among the very nations up on which the United States must depend for its allies. Aside from the effects on Eu rope, the two economic groups also have an adverse effect on other economies, notably those of the Unilcd Slates and Canada. The U. S. presently exports more to the inner six than does any member of the outer seven. But it must do so now at a dis advantage as compared to any member of the trading group. In an effort to bridge the gap between the inner six and outer seven, European economic mini sters and experts, plus represen tatives of the United States and Canada will meet in Paris the middle of this month. As of now, it appears the bridge will be a difficult one to construct because of the political nature of the inner six organiza tion and Britain's unalterable op position to it. A possibility under discussion is recommendation that, work be started on a world-wide reduction of tariffs applicable to all na-' tions, regardless of organization or boundary lines. Such a plan might be supported in principle by the United States but would be difficult to apply so long as the U. S. trade balance remains unfavorable. ltsoluf ions By HAL BOYLE NEW YORK (AP) How are you coming with your New Year's resolutions? Forgotten 'cm already? Good. It's probably better to get them out of your system early and gel back to your normal mixed- up way of living as soon as pos sible. Many psychiatrists say it is a good thing to make New Year's resolutions. I'm not so sure it al ways is. I d like to read a few of the resolutions that psychia trists write down on their memo pads for themselves this time of year. They probably read about as fol lows: "Must get a firmer grip on my ID. It's been getting out of hand lately." 'Get new and more cheerful cover for my couch. The present one is so dull it depresses even me. Resolve to quit letting my mind wander while Mrs. Zilch tells me her fancied troubles. Aft er all she pays me $50 an hour to listen to her." "Find out why my dog is show ing unmistakable signs of schizo phrenia. Is it his fault? Is it my wife's? Is it mine?" It is my theory that psychia trists, like ordinary mortals, make a fundamental error in making New Year's resolutions. Tlicy do it at the wrong time. The right time to resolve to cor rect your method of living is at the end of a restful summer va cation. Then the sky is smiling, birds yodel in joy from every bough, and you yourself feel at your best. Then, if you pause in your SHORT RIBS CHOMP I J !

You have the strength to. But not on New Year's Day. Ex haustcd by unwonted good will drained of energy, you magnify your defects. You see yourself as a depraved monster which you probably aren't, any more than your neighbor is. You overlook the virtues you really have. You have a convic tion you are so bad the only prop er place for you is the nearest jail. And if the police arrested ev erybody that felt that way on New Years, there'd be 75 million Amer icans behind bars by nightfall. So what do you do? You are overcome by a desire for an im possible righteousness. You make high resolves to change yourself from a comfortable human jalopy to a Rolls-Royce overnight. You make vows that would numb four-star angel to perform. And what happens? You write down this long list of good res olutions, and put it away in a drawer. Next April, when it is time to figure out your income tax, you will go through the draw er again. You will find the list. It will be raining outside. You will read the list, and find that you have failed to carry out a single one of your forgotten good resolutions. And you will feel blue for days. Heaven, as the poet wrote, is not gained in a single bound. You have to change yourself gradually that is, if you want to live to see the improvement yourself. If you want to make a better build-1 ing of yourself, you must do it brick by brick. For example, a close friend of mine he is married to my wife adopted this year only these res olutions: Don't use snuff. Avoid betting on inside straights in poker games. No matter what Congress does, don't waste money on congratula tory telegrams. Stick to complain ing postcards. Quit, leaping up In crowded bus es to give a scat to tired lady shoppers half your age. No matter how many Girl Scouts beat on your door selling cookies, never buy more than one box at a time. Come the dawn of 1961, this fel low may not be a greatly finer human being. But he will be sure of one thing: When he makes i resolve, he is a man of his word He will have kept faith with him self in 1960. Women's Parly By DICK WEST WASHINGTON (UPI) The United States, as every schoolboy knows, has three major political parties Democrats, Republicans and women. There is, of course, quite a bit of party-line crossing. Many worn en also are Democrats or Republi cans or, as frequently happens, both. In the news recently have been a Republican who surprised everybody by dropping out of the presidential race and two Demo crats who surprised nobody by dropping in. In the interest of tri- partisanship, 1 thought it was only fair to see what the women are up to. Convenient for this purpose, the National Woman s Party Is hold ing a convention here. For en- lightment of their activities, I was fortunate enough to contact Mrs Amelia Himes Walker of Winter Park, Fla., the national chairman and one of the nicest ladies ever arrested for disturbing the peace I mention Mrs. Walker's police record only because she is proud of it. So are her eight grandchil aren. one ot them got up in By Frank O'Neal school one day and boasted to his classmates that his grandmother had been in jail. He neglected to mention that it happened 42 years ago when Mrs, Walker and 15 other ladies were picketing in front of the White House in behalf of woman's suf frage. As she tells it, 16 burly cops- one for each lady descended upon them, herded them into the "black maria" and escorted them to the calaboose. The police, how ever, were unable to make the barges stick. A tiny, white-haired woman who takes 7 a.m. swims with the grandkids, Mrs. Walker related the experience with relish while explaining how the National Wom an's Party came into being. An outgrowth of the suffrage movement, the party has no can didates and only one line to persuade Congress to approve a constitutional amendment giving women "equal rights" with men in all legal ways. The ladies have been presenting this proposal to every session of Congress since 1923. This year they feel their patience finally will be rewarded. When not sightseeing and laying wreaths before statues of depart ed suffragettes, the delegates are buttonholing lawmakers to round up the few remaining votes neces sary to put the amendment across. They also are seeking state ments of support from the various presidential candidates of the other two parties. I asked Mrs. Walker whether she planned to do any picketing while she was in town. No, she said, the party doesn't go in for that sort of thing any more. But from the gleam in her eye, I gathered that she sort of regret ted it.
