CITY LOAn CO. $24 SOUTHARD ‘st. DIAL 2-5681 They think that for “The Aver- age American” times will stay good for awhile. Even the farmer, whose net in- come has been slipping, may have seen the worst of the drop, the Washington seers are saying. Factory workers continue to do a little better than last year—and that trend will probably continue for some months, -especially for thpse in the higher-paid, defense- supporting industries. The U. S. Department of Labor says in the last two years average hourly wages of factory workers rose nearly 12 per cent. The aver- age hourly pay last month was $1.73. These higher hourly rates, plus longer work weeks in many plants, sent average weekly earnings for factory workers up 13 per cent in the last two years to $72.40 by mid- December. For the farmer the story hasn’t been so good. Farm prices have | been falling and his operating costs are either at a record high or have slipped only: slightly. But the Agriculture Department thinks the worst 5f the fall in farm product prices is over. It estimates today. that total ‘cash income of U. S. farmers this month will be about two billion dollars, just about what it was in the same month last year. The rub, of course, comes when the farmers have to spend that two billion for things they need. Their net income will be down. Congress is currently struggling with various proposals to help the farmer hold his place in the in- come parade. Cheering for all, even for*farm- ers in the long run, is the prospect | that the cost of living’s long rise seems to have halted and the going may be a little easier from now on. In spite of the high living costs, Americans have “been _ socking | | away ever increasing totals of sav- ings. The total topped 200 billion dollars for the first time fast year. One example of the increase: The United States Savings and Loan League reports that last last month for the first time more than one billion dollars were taken in by the nation’s savings associa- tions. Savers are also being helped by rising interest rates. There are Prospects for some more of the same. Institutional savers are antici- pating that the U.S. Treasury will shortly offer long-tcrm bonds with an interest rate of from 3 to 3% per cent. This belief caused prices bonds to hit new * lows—bringing prices nearer to 3 per cent.
