The winter months are more dangerous from the stand­ point of fire than summer months, the Association said, because heating units are turned on, and defer live or carelessly operated heating equipment is among the leading causes of fire. Further­ more, the movement of emergency equipment, including fire fighting apparatus, often is hampered by winter weather conditions. American Insurance Association studies show that one out of every five fires in the United States is directly traceable to faulty heating or cooking equipment. In 1966, 139,900 heating and cooking fires caused property losses aggregating $138,100,000. The Association offered these tips on winter fire safety: 1- -Rehearse your EDITH plan. EDITH stands for "Exit Drills in The Home.” Call all of the members of the family together, and make sure everyone knows two alternate routes of escape in case of fire. Practice an exit drill which might be used in case of fire at night when everyone is in bed. Every­ one should be able to get out of a one-family home in less than a minute, and almost as rapidly from an apartment house, the Association noted. 2- -Check all doors to be sure they maybe opened easily from the inside. Keys should be left in locks using skeleton keys if these doors are locked at night. 3- -Be sure there is at least one window in each room that can be opened easily--and don’t overlook the storm sash. It usually is more difficult to open a storm sash in the winter than to kick out a window screen in the summer. 4- -Make sure all hallways are kept clear of obstacles which might impair a speedy exit. 5- -Have the heating unit in your home checked at least once a year by a qualified service man to make sure it is in good operating order. 6- -Check the basement to make sure old newspapers and magazines, paint cans and other flammables are not kept too close to the heating unit. *ill not vole any restrictive labor legislation in 1968. Al­ though we anticipate that credit controls may possibly lie in­ voked in the Administration's struggle with inflation, there is no chance that any serious attempts will be made to Impose «.ige controls.

"This toll can be reduced by proper fire prevention precautions.” The road to success is al­ ways under construction.

Prices for single family homes will continue to advance as construction fails to satisfy rising demands and as all building costs move higher . . . particularly during the first half. De­ mand for rentals in the middle and lower brackets will gain steadily, however, ability to satisfy these needs willt>e severely hamstrung by even more costly and scarcer mortgage money. Speculative purchases and the salability of vacant property-- especially that in less desirable areas--wtll suffer from the drying-up of funds to carry such parcels. Broadly, the better­ ment that set in during the final.six months of 1967 will probably not be maintained long in 1968. 30. HIGHER PAY SCALES, the effect of recent increases in total money supplies, bigger social security outlays, and further advances in disposable income promise to give very strong support to retail trade during the early months of 1968 and for some time beyond. Only minor shadow is the evident reluctance of consumers to go as heavily into debt as in re­ cent years. The purchasing power will be there, and only an optimistic shift inconsumer attitudes will be necessary to ring up record sales gains--maybe 8% to !0%--at least during the first half-year. Later, efforts of the Administration and of the money managers to cool the inflation through taxes and cutbacks in government spending may slow the rate of retail upturn. 31. THE TREND IN RECENT YEARS has been toward a dwindling margin of U. S. exports over imports. This lias come at a bad time for our chronic condition of imbalance in our international payments position. Devaluation of the pound and other currencies has hurt our Ability to expand exports at a crucial moment for our balance of payments. Greatest hope for us In 1968 Is that European nations that have bean in a business slump will enjoy recovery . . . making a better market for our products there. We forecast that our government will discuss, and perhaps Implement, export subsidies during the year ahead. RACE RIOTS DECREASE 32. CURRENT TALK OF THE POSSIBILITY of an even "hotter” summer ahead in our racially imbalanced tug cities should tie discounted. Preparations already made and in the making should reduce the danger of the firestorms suffered in 1967. We feel that real advances have tieen made through the ballot box in major mayoralty elections. Another hopeful sign is fhe rising trend toward responsibility for bettering conditions on the part of businessmen and the private sector. We are willing to stick our necks out and predict that the summer of 1968 will not be as "hot" as was 1967*s. 33. HOWEVER, WE ARE NOTOPT1MISTK on the course crime, is pursuing. Recent reports indicate that Americans will be in even greater danger of tieing murdered, maimed, or rotitied in I3M than in IN? (a H iglitming niiv out of 44). 34 MONEY PRESSURES--from lessened availiability and higher cost--point to lowered liquidity next year . . . with an attendant increase in bankruptcies, more difficult collections, and rising foreclosures. 35. Wl ANTICIPATE A YEAR OF RAPIDLY shifting attitudes toward the stock market and toward groups of stocks and in­ dividual issues, Early-year upsweep in business and selectively higher profits-combined with a liberal supply of money fol­ lowing the Fed’s huge outpourings in 1967-- should pave the way for further progress by the popular stock averages. Later, as th<- battle against Inflation intensifies, the stock market may become subject to a painful reassessment. 36. A Yl \l< IGO Wi PREDK TED THAT IN INI th» ’old aristocracy of the blue chips based on past performance” would "be replaced by a new aristocracy of super-able man­ agement based upon hopes of good future performance.” Now it looks as if many of the issues representing concerns with super-able forward-looking managements have just plain tie- come overvalued in the market place. We believe it will be unwise in 1968 to chase after such. 37. AS A CONSEQUENCE OF THE DEVELOPING MONEY squeeze, high-quality (only) bonds of long maturity- both taxable and nontaxable- -should provide excellent long range investment opportunities for those seeking income during the first half-year UTILITY STOCKS RISE 38. IF WE ARE CORRECT IN THE ABOVE ASSUMPTION . . . we cannot be far wrong in predicting that the better electric­ utility common stocks may. ilso prove to tie outstanding purchases for long-term growth. 39. AMONG THE "OLD ARISTOCRACY of the blue Chips” there ire a number of industrial areas that have lieen pounded down In price to a point where real solid substance is clearly visible. One such group is the chemicals. The old line major companies here--ones that enjoyed a great twill market in the 1950's--may be in a buying range during 1968. 40. STILL NOT AMONG TODAY’S MUCH-SOUGHT-AFTER "performance” stocks ... the big multiple-risk insurance concerns represent another type of equity investment that could well aford high opportunity over an extended period of time to those who have the courage and foresight to pick them up when they have few friends. And they may have more "glamor” than many think . . . as they are showing a developing trend toward ‘‘conglomerating. ’’ 41. ANOTHER GROUP that could reach long-term buying levels next year is banks. Although their profits are up now. they have not been popular. The reason: Every period of money (Continued on Page 3) Are you tired of everybody getting your money but you?

COST OF LIVING will be intensified during the first half of the new year, with ad­ vances tapering as autumn approaches. Over-all, we hmk for another increase In living expenses of over 3‘t . . . and it would not surprise us if the toll should rise to the 4% level. The "bad boys" will continue to be soaring service costs-- especially medical -- and upspirals in transportation and finished-goods tags. Food may inch up a little more as pro­ cessing costs mount further, but prospective plentiful supplies will act as a controlling factor. 28. TOTAL CASH REC E1PTS from (arm marketings should advance moderately over figures for 1967; however, the relentless up-push of costs will take its toll, and farmers’ net income will do well to improve even slightly . . . notwithstanding some relief from higher government payouts. Large marketings pro­ mise to restrain cattle quotes and hold this source of farm income in its recent low profitability groove. Meat prices, however, propped by bulging expenses, will be well maintained to firmer for the year. The consumer with storage facilities may benefit from time to time by watching carefully for sales and taking advantage of any buying opportunities provided by occasional runs of cattle fed to extra-heavy weights. Apparent determination by growers to cut back on poultry output threatens to deprive the housewife of one of her most prolific sources of reasonably priced meat.
