TIPS FOR THE -
MODERN HOMEMAKER
By: Johnnie Lou Weatherly
Have you been wondering why the cost
of living continues to go up and up? Just
read these excerpts from a report by the
Bureau of National Affairs.
"Negotiated wage Increases for all in-
dustries during the third quarter of 1967
hit a record high of 14.9 cents an hour,
and were 3.7 cents above the correspond-
ing period of 1966.
"The rise Jbrought the average wage gain
for the year to date to 14.2 cents an hour,
up 3.8 cents from the figure for the first
nine months of 1966.
"The current probability Is that wage set-
tlements for 1967 as a whole wil! average
around 14.2 cents an hour, up 3.2 cents
from 1966. Wage increases in manufac-
turing alone came to 13.6 cents an hour
in the third quarter, up 3.2 cents from a
year before. Among nonmanufacturing a-
greements, the median increase comes to
19.6 cents for the nine-months period but
the gain from a year earlier is an average
5.0 cents.
'In the construction Industry the median
increase was 34.7 cents an hour in the Jan-
uary-September period."
Rising wages necessarily bring higher pri-
ces--and the cost of living continues to
spiral. It's just that simple.
One hundred and three at-
tended Open House at the
County Extension Service Of-
fices on TuesdayNovember 7.
The Open House was in ob-
servance of National Consu-
mer Education Week. We
were delighted that so many
came to visit with us ami
to see new literature avail-
able to consumers during
"Hats off to Consumers
Week".
Everyone is a consumer:
the little girl grasping a nic-
kel to buy candy, the gentle-
men shopping for a second
car and the younghomemaker
deciding whether to buy can-
ned or fresh pumpkin for
Thanksgiving.
Each is constantly strug-
gling to stretch his dollars
for the best, safest and most
adequate buys.
Successful dollar-stretch-
ing begins with a soendinc
plan fitted especially for your
family and reflecting its va-
lue, needs, ways of living
NOBODY EVER WINS
Mystery Of Mao
One of the fascinating mysteries of the
moment is that surrounding the rotund Mao
Tse-tung and what all the turmoil in Red
China means.
A growing number of China-watchers have
cofne to believe that there is more than one
Mao T-e-tung in China these days. Maybe
two. And just maybe none at all. That
requires some explaining.
The old say that all Chinese look alike
doesn't apply in the case of the portly Mao.
As a matter of fact, the egghead look of
Mao Tse-tung is really quite rare among
Orientals.
Further, there have been no close-up
photograph-- of Mao coming out of main-
land China for more than a year-and-a-
half now. The photos which have been re-
leased are uniformly fuzzy and indistinct,
and the subject has always been a very
great distance from the camera.
Nor has Mao had anything to say. It is
now tallied that Mao Tse-tung has not ut-
tered a single speech in his last ten pub-
lic appearances. It may be of course that,
since the entire population of the country
has had to read and memorize by rote all
those "sayings" of Mao Tse-tung as re-
corded in that little red book, there is no
need for him to say much. Still it's not
like the voluble gent to be so quiet. He
never was, until 18 months ago.
So, many diplomats and newsmen are com-
ing to think that Mao Tse-tung is either
very ill, or very dead, and that he Is being
impersonated in public by a puppet. The
question is, whose puppet?
The answer is, everybody's puppet. The
day it becomes common knowledge across
China that Mao is no longer among the
living, there is going to be a really wild
struggle for liberation--and power. No-
body on the mainland has anything appro-
aching the stature of Mao, or the capacity
for exercising leadership. Both sides now
contending for power claim to be pxirsuing
the goals of Mao, and following his direc-
tion.
Whether or not Mao 1^ ill, senile, or
dead, is a matter of prime importance In
the atmosphere which prevails- on the main-
land. Indeed, it is so important that if no
Mao exists, no government exists. And
that is why so many experts think that a
"double" has made those ten silent ap-
pearances.
and wants.
It Is Impossible to set a
budget for a family of four,
for example, because each
family is Individual. Your
plan must be tailor-made.
But budgeting need not be
a drudgery. Itemizing every
penny spent and balancing
weekly. Use a spending plan
for a year for best results.
State and federal laws, bu-
sinessmen, government a-
gencies, teachers. Extension
workers and researchers
work for the consumer to
protect him and make him
more aware and Informed to
help himself.
Laws protect him with
clean, fit food; safe effective
drugs and therapeutic de-
vices; safe cosmetics; and
honest, informative labeling
and DackaEinz.
Laws also protect clothing,
fabric and some furniture
buyers, specifying that cer-
tain information about textile
products be provided to the
consumer.
An aware consumer takes
advantage of these aids for
better buys for better living.
We take for granted many
consumer services such as
grading, standardization, in-
spection of food, laws and
labels. But the Informed
benefit most.
This leaves much up to
the consumer. To inquire
and report misleading adver-
tising and labels, Improper
labeling, poor quality which
do not meet standards, mis-
representation of credit.
Manufacturers benefit from
your suggestions and com-
plaints. They want to sat-
ufv V l.
The dollars will go ftjrther
and happier for all if you bone
bone up on your shopping know
how. With continuing mutual
support among consumers
business, manufacturers and
service agencies, products
and selection will continue to
improve.
The little girl's candy will
be clean and safe; the gentle-
man's automobile will be safe
and the dealer will give him
fair, honest service; and the
homemaker will know how
to choose to fit her family
or know where to find out.
The first regional con-
sumer conference in the
southwest opens November 16,
to orientate and motivate an
expected 500 people.
The four-state gathering at
Tyler, Texas, beginning at
9 a.m., will feature a sym-
posium and demonstration in
packaging and labeling; a pa-
nel on shopping for credit
and a lecture on health and
safety in consumer goods and
services.
Each topic la developed by
recognized authorities In the
fields. The director of field
operations of the President's
Committee on Consumer In-
terests, Howard Frazler.wll!
discuss "Consumer Outlook"
at the noon luncheon.
The conference hopes to
fill the growing need
consumers have for reliable
Information about costs of
credit as well as costs, coo.
tent and quality of the pro-
ducts they buy.
Consumers must work to
protect their rights by guard-
ing them, promoting them and
exercising this responsi-
bility.
The meeting is sponsored
by the Texas Agricultural Ex-
tension Service, Family Liv-
ing Committee of Smith
County, Texas Consumer As-
sociation, Consumer and
Marketing Service, Food and
Drug Administration and nu-
merous other organizations,
educational institutions, trade
associations and industry.

NEWARK, CALIF., A ROUS: "The proud
tradition of America is that there always
have been free men willing to ri-k all to
keep alive the spirit of freedom. It would
be foolhardy to forget the sacrifices they
ftiacfe, or to think (hat present "and future
men are immune from similar sacrifices.
Tyranny may change its form, but not its
nature; and there must be men willing to
resist the tyrant."
ONEONTA, ALA., DEMOCRAT; '11 str-
ikes us that today's youth are aware of the
world and the place in it that they are pre-
paring for. Their self-confidence and read-
iness to take their places in the affairs
of the state are truly encouraging despite
the publicity given a minority who seem to
be in rebellion against time-honored values."

"Surely he hath borne our grief , and car-
ried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him
stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted."
"But he wat wounded lor our transgres-
sions. he was bruised for our iniquities: the
chastisement of our peace was upon him¡
P and with his stripes we are healed "
"All we like sheep haue gone astray■ we
haue turned every one to his own way; and
the Lord hath laid on him the iniquity of
us all." Isaiah 53:4-6
