PAGE FOUR HESSfy-vv 'iV v The National Outlook The President’s Economic Report By Ralph Robey > Presidfent Eisenhower’s final ■ Pf lSconomiC Report is, as would be , expected, in harmony with his earlier State of the Union and f Budget messages. The Economic Report is prepared with the aid . of the Council of economic ad • visers and with the assistance of [ the heads of the various execu >■ tive departments and independ ent agencies Whose fields are covered. Most of the work, however, falls to the Council and it pri marily deserves whatever credit or criticism arises from the re-, port. Tins year it is credit, al-1 though there doubtless will be | plenty of criticism because the report takes a fundamentally op timistic point of view. The first chapter discusses eco nomic developments and policies of 1960. Chapter two is a resume of experience under the Employment Act of 1946, which created the Council of Economic Advisers. The third chapter is devoted to “Policies for the Fu ture,” which contains the legisla tive recommendations. Then comes the customary report on the activities of the Council of Economic Advisers during 1960. j Next is an analysis of three out standing problems employment j and earnings, agriculture a.idi United States foreign trade and] payments. Finally there is the j usual series of statistical tables, j The statistical tables are a most valuable source of factual data. The discussion of the three j problems is excellent. The fee- ' ommendations for legislative ac-' tion are repetition and will carry no particular weight in the present Congress. The history, of experience under the Employ- j ment Act is interesting and | gives a good perspective on this] period, but the chapter on what I happened in 1960 and the busi ness outlook is by far the most important and significant. In this analysis by the Presi dent there is a clear recognition 1 that, while 1960 was the best' year in the nation’s history, a I mild downturn started in the I second half and gradually spread ' over a wider and wider proper- I tion of the economic system. At ] no point, however, is the te m j “recession” applied to this slack- • • GENERAL ELECTRIC Filter-Flo® yL (fftWWnßtf NON-CLOGGING MODCL is caught in tho moving WA-633T f«lt«r...not on your clothesl \* \ l >//)3- J All ro-circulated water it fil* *^jfi tered...no by-patt openirgs to - 1 let lint slip through to the clothes.

Fur ther, it is anticipated that an up turn will start in a short time. The budget message makes this same assumption, and that, plus the recommended legisla tion, such as increasing postal rates, is what provides the pro jected budget surplus for the fiscal'year starting next July 1. It goes without saying that this is contrary to the task force I recommendations that have been made to President Kennedy. These have been to the effect that we are in the midst of a recession and that it will get j much worse before it gets bet-! ter, therefore positive govern ment action is necessary, and all such action must increase ex penditures. Which, one of these two points of view will win out in the Congress is not much of a ques tion. Government spending will increase beyond any doubt, and was so recommended by the out going Administration. The | amount of the increase is not j yet determined, and neither is j the place nor means for bringing I about the rise. But the rise ! will be an appreciable amount | and since states and municipali ! ties also are increasing their 1 outlays, the total will be suffi cient to have an effect upon , the business trend. This is one of the so-called ! iavorable factors listed by the! President in his Economic Re-' port. Os more importance, how ever, is his conviction that there j arc no major weak spots in the i economy—nothing that will call I for either a prolonged or severe ' readjustment. This does not ■ mean that he does not see prob j lems. He sees many of them . and devotes a lot of space to ! their analysis. But, in the Pres \ ident’s judgment, the problems 1 can, and should be, handled in ; the coming period of rasing pros i perity. ! ! Children aren't happy with nothing to ignore.

Adapting Your Room For The Child “Houses are often built and] furnished with little thought andi consideration for children’s needs] and interests,” says Mrs. Sara Stewart, home economics agent in Cabarrus County. • “Many simple ideas in furnishings can be used in homes for more com fortable working, playing, eat ing and sleeping.” Mrs. Stewart recently told her Home Demonstration Club wo men that unfinished furniture would offer good possibilities in useful, sturdy furnishings since children enjoy stools, chairs and tables that fit them. “A bit of imagination, initiative, hammer and nails, can result in many simple but useful items that children can enjoy.
