There are numerous forecasts. These range from a slight decline, through a period of general stability, to a rise of up to three percent. We have no generally recog nized index of the cost of liv ing. The nearest thing to this is the Consumers Price Index compiled by the Bureau of La bor Statistics. This carefully . compiled series, as in the case lof all government indexes, uses the average of 1947-49 as equal to 100. But it is not a cost of living index. It covers the prices paid by urban workers of . moderate income for some 300 | items, weighted by the relative importance of the article in total expenditures of these 1 groups. The index is not cor rected for seasonal variations, and this gives a certain uneven ness over each year. J According to this series, con sumer p.ices were stable during 1954 and 1955. 1. 1956 and 1957 prices rose moderately, in 1958 they stabilized again and this continued through the first quarter of J 959. In the second quarter of 1959. however. the| index started up slightly and that has continued to the pres-! i ent time. , The question is: what is the! trend of the index going to be, for the rest of this year? The answer to this will de- j pend upon the relative move- ! ments of various components making up the series. The cost of service will continue to rise. j m \"" ~~ Generation after generation, farmers have high-speed bottoms .. . handy sure-trip safety heard from their friends and neighbors that standards .. . convenience .. . dependability.

This leaves, among the. large items, food. The cost of ties should be down—not sharply but at least a little. In my judgment the decline of food prices will not be suf ficient to offset the upswing in other elements of the index. This means that the Consumer Price Index will drift slowly upward for the rest of 1960. The rise will not be sharp, and it should not show an increase every month, but by the end of the year the figure should be, say, one percent above that for December, 1959. Prices in general are measur ed by the Wholesale Price In dex. This covers only commo dities services, interest, rent and so forth are not included. This is one of the important factors accounting for the fail ure of this and the Consumers Price Index to move snore or less identically. Wholesale prices were stable from the t beginning of 1953 untii the middle of 1955. For the' next approximately three years j there was a moderate uptrend, and for the past two years there has been no overall trend. It is important to note, however, ! that the stability of the past two years have been caused by | farm and processed food prices j declining by enough to offset I the upward trend in other j prices. This is a precarious i manner by which to get stabil-! ity and it is questionable wheth- ] er it can continue. In other words, such evidence j •f • -r * : -*• - t a ue *» 'I as we have, and the logic qJ the ■situation, indicate that this price • index will begin to rise slightly before long. Again, it will not be a sharp advance, but by the end of 1960 the figure probably will be at least one percent above the present. It would be much better for everyone, and for the nation,, if such increases did not take place. But there is no effective manner by which they can be prevented at this late date. Need Pointed Out For Library Buildings Continued from Page 1, Section 1 Friends of the Library,” ' whose main activity will be to con sider the means and ways by which the libraries may become more useful to the citizens of I the county and town. Dues will be held to a minimum with life, honorary and sustaining memberships. The second possibility was the consideration of the problem of a new library. It was pointed out that the Cupola House is I inadequate and may become structurally unsafe. Further, the I Cupola House should be preserv ed as an historical museum. This should be a community responsibility and not entirely a responsibility of the County Commissioners or the Town Council. A campaign could be started to raise funds by public subscription and bv placing con tainers in the various stores to ‘ receive donations of odd change. This campaign to last over a period of time until sufficient funds have been raised. Further, that the Brown-Car ver Library, for colored, which is located on Oakum Street, ■ should be housed in a safer building; as this building in its present condition, is a fire trap. These objectives would be part of a continuing over-a'l pro gram in which the entire com munity could help. The cooperation and support of individuals, organizations and its members is earnestly re quested. There will be a meeting of “Friends of the Library” on Monday afternoon. February 29, at 4 o'clock, at the Cupola House. The committee appointed in connection with the observance of national Library Week in cludes the following: Nick George, chairman; Eu genia Baboon, vice chairman; Mrs. Frank Holmes. W. D.

Griffin Speaker At ] Liens Club Meeting I Continued from Page 1, Section 1 the northeastern area was settled by colonists moving southward from Virginia, Pennsylvania and New England, who were for the most part frdm England. Settlers in other parts of the. state came from Scotland, Holland, Swit zerland, and other European countries. He spoke of the cour age and vision of these settlers which enabled them to develop a civilization from a wilderness. He mentioned particularly a group of settlers who procured a tract of land from the pro prietors of the Granville Grant, which was that portion of North Carolina from the Virginia line to Bath. This tract of land was what ■ is now the city of Winston-Salem. He paid tribute I to these Moravians who because 'of their vision and courage and love of liberty were able to make a thriving industrial civi lization from a wilderness. He stated that' if these settlers could return today they could see the results of their work and their planning in Piedmont North Carolina. Froim the be ginning they were persons who knew how to take advantage of rivers and other natural re sources to start mills and fac tories. Today this area is fully developed as an industrial area to the extent that the area from Roanoke, Va., to Atlanta, Ga., is one of the most promising areas in the United States. Mr. Griffin expressed admira tion for North Carolina’s love of freedom, pointing out that North Carolina and Rhode Island did not ratify the Con stitution in time to vote for Washington’s first term, but waited until the Bill of Rights had been adopted. He pointed out that a large portion of the early settlers of North Carolina policy of granting religious free-j dom to all people. Mr. Griffin mentioned some j challenges that face North Caro-i lina and the nation, such as the, rapidly expanding population,! teiapontatien, education, and] taxation. He pointed out that' w* must have faith, vision and I courage in order to meet these} challenges. He challenged par-! ticularly the Edenton area, by saying that there was enough [ vision and courage possible in j the area to meet the challenge of industrializing, and providing, better life for the future citi- ‘ 2ens.
