GARNER librae Agent Since we are in the final month of 1957, it ut an appropriate time to take a look at 1958 What is the general Outlook for Family Living for 1958? Prices of family living items are creeping up all along the line. In the past year living costs have gape up 3.6 per cent. Prices of services have been rising faster than prices of consumer goods. The public is demanding more ser vices: personal care, travel, edu ctaion, recreation. In the fjrst half of 1957 ? this year ? spending for services was 6 per cent above a year ago compared with 5 per cent for soft goods and 4 per cent for hard goods. Inflation has increased steadily during the past decade. Today's dollar goes less than half as far as the 1939 dollar; it lost almost Iwo cents in purchasing power last year and is expected to lose more during 1958. The 1958 dollar will actually be worth slightly over 48 cents. Although farm population has de creased?now 12 per cent of total population?the importance of the average farm family as a spend ing unit has increased viewed in terms of amount spent for current I consumption. In terms of 1955 dol lars, the average expenditure per family was $2,760 ($2,515 in the South Atlantic States) in 1955 com pared to $1,716 in 1941. Some fundamental changes have wen i a k i n g place in the way farm families spend their money for fam ily living. Part of this change is due to im proved levels of living. But there F1 G Garner ( have also been some fundamental changes in what | farm families consider important. I They are placing greater em phasis on better housing, conven iences and time savers; they are giving more attention to medical needs; and. they are spending more for education, transportation, services and recreation. Installment credit is rising grad ually. An increasing number of de partment, variety and chain stores are offering terms of six months in which to pay for soft goods. Luxury goods show liberal credit terms. More installment credit is novy being,need.in selling mobile homes, yachts, power tools, sport ing goods. Do people owe too much? Gov ernment surveys show that the average family is carrying its debts very well. Many families are in better shape financially; quite a few are less well off with a heavier burden of debt in rela tion to their incomes. More and more families are using credit but many are unaware of the cost. Over \ZV* million married women in U.S. now hold jobs outside the home?an increase of million during the past year, and 5 million during the last decade. Their rea sons for working are many and varied. They include higher stand ard of living and the money it takes to acquire it?economic ne cessity. Despite increased caution and more careful spending, consumer buying probably will continue up ward in the months ahead. Family living items in general are ex pected to cost more in the next few months. Selling will be inten sified with all kinds of lures to get people to buy. To differentiate between the real values and fake bargains, Mrs. Consumer will need to plan care fully, study qualities and prices in relation to her family needs, and learn to recognize and resist high-pressure sales tactics. This is general, and can be hro ken down in the various aspects of Family living. The first one is (Housing Nearly half of all the bu.ldmg in the I'.S. last year tqok place in the suburban and outlying areas of metropolitan centers. This indi cates the broad impact of the growth of suburbanization on the building industry as well as on other areas of commercial actiwly Because of the trend, it is not surprising to find more home build ing in the suburban areas than in the rest of the country put to gether, along with big proportions of new schools, shopping facditics community buildings, etc., to meet the needs Of the rapid expansion of population in these communi ties Of particular interest is 'he fact that industry, too. is follow ing the trek of population to tne suburbs. Mobility of the population has been cited as an important factor in the demand for housing; accord in" to census data, 1/5 of the pop ulation moved during the year March 1955 to March 1956 One third of the moves were to a dit ferent county, and one out of six to a different state.. This mobility has been higher for non-white than for white popu lation since 1950. Movement of population from farms to non-farm areas has been one of tbe most persistent trends. This has resulted in abandonment of many existing farm houses in some areas. This mobility of population has had more influence in determining where new housing would be built than it has in contributing to ad ditional ponstruction. Construction costs were 20 per cent higher in 1956 than in 19a0. but because larger and better equipped houses were built in 1956, the average construction cost of houses started in 1956 was 41 per cent above the 1950 average; me dian selling price was 42 per cent higher. Few families could afford to buy or build houses '"'his price class: 44 per cent at $15,000 or more. There has been an increase in expenditures for dwelling "up keep." Repairs and replacements are the most important items. In 1955 they accounted for 70 per cent of total upkeep expenses. Use of electricity in the home is j increasing rapidly now with all the , electrical equipment, appliances I and water pumps that families are getting This poses a serious wir ing .probtom. ?lectri? wiring im moat homes is very inadcquafefpT the increised load of added equip mept and appliances. Wood for home heaters and fire places it being replaced . rather rapidly now by oil and gas in cen tral heating systems. The prob lems of suitable types, sues, and proper installation are new prob lems for many families?problems on which they need more factual information and help. The kitchen is becoming more i definitely the center of interest in [the home now. Much of today's cn-| Itertaining is done in the kitchen. 'Many of the modern house plans have kitchen, family room and workroom all in one, and generally with television added. Good kitchen planning?along with house plan ning?to fit family needs continues to be a big problem. Housing starts for 1957 are run-| ning 15 per cent below last yeari and are the lowest since 1949. The | government has taken some action by lowering FHA down payments. | Home building is expected to | pick up some next year. The num ber of housing starts is likely to gain 6 per cent to 8 per cent over 1957. Prices on new houses will continue to creep upward, while prices on old houses will continue [ about where they are now. A new boom for housing is ex pected in the 1960's when the World War II babies will have| reached marrying age.
