HOMES NEED PLAN
IN CASE OF FIRE
A plan for. escape from fire, a year-round '‘must” for
every home, is especially important during the winter m«»ths,
the American Insurance Association warned today.
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.

HOMES TO COST MORE
29. REAL ESTATE WILL BE A MANY SIDED MARKET in
1968. 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

27. UPWARD PRESSURES ON TH! 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.
