To what extent have local Families benefited from the higher Incomes they have been recelvlnr In the last few years? With the changes that have been taking place In the cost at living, It Is difficult some times for a family to know what progress it has been mak ing, If any. On the basis of figures re leased by the Tax Foundation, c the Department ol Labor and t others, the average local family p Is better off today than It was c In 1958, when a similar study II was made. * r It had an Income last year that was approximately 11.5 tl percent higher than at that time, fi The Increase In earnings more o than made up for the rise In h the cost of goods and services, si which went up about 5.5 percent tl In the period. 1,1 This takes Into account such o< osts of food, housing, apparel, ran sport at Ion, medical and < ersonal care, readlng'and re- I Nation and miscellaneous i lems. The majority of them '? ose In price. Some Idea of the net change I lat has occurred, due to the 1 ict that both incomes and llvtng osts have moved upward, Is to ' 9 gleaned from the figures that < how ?the amount of time that >e average American worker I lust put In to buy food and '? !her articles. Compared with 1958, when he needed to work less than 3 days per month to earn enough for the rent, he now must put In about J 1/4 days. A pound of round steak now re presents 26 minutes of work, [t took 29 minutes previously. A dozen eggs, grade A, takes 15 minutes, compared with 18 nlnutes In 1958. A new car In the popular - irice range Involves 29 weeks is against 28 1/2 before. The amount of time needed Is proportionately smaller (or those with above-average In comes. What takes more time than any other Item except rent Is Federal, state and local tkjces. To meet that bill, the average worker puts In some SI hours of work a month, 3 more than was necessary In 1958. In Franklin County, with local Incomes what the^ are, this averages close to $100 per householder month. from 45 towns throughout the South.
