‘Dead ’ man
expects
notice
MILWAUKEE, Wis. (UPI) -
In case Donald A. Helgerson
doesn’t know it, he will soon get
the word from the Milwaukee
County Clerk of Courts: He’s
dead.
Legally, that is.
Helgerson, of Immokalee,
Fla., recently wrote Clerk of
Courts Francis X. McCormack,
asking to know when his wife
had divorced him. McCormack
said Helgerson indicated he
thought this would have been a
likely development, since he
had deserted his family in 1950.
McCormack checked and
found Helgerson’s wife had
done more. She had had a court
declare her husband legally
dead in 1965.

Inflation
continues
in nation
WASHINGTON (UPI) - The
cost of sending a letter rose
last month to 10 cents and the
price of regular gasoline rose to
an average of 52.8 cents a
gallon. Those price increases,
along with increases in vegeta
bles and fruits, pushed the cost
of living up faster in one year
than at any time since January,
1948.
The 1.1 per cent increase in
consumer prices in March was
the third highest monthly rise
since 1947, and if the cost of
goods and services in the first
three months of this year are
projected on an annual basis, it
would be the sharpest quarterly
increase since 1951.
One measure of the impact of
inflation, according to figures
released by the government
Friday, is that the products and
services that cost you $lO in
1967 now cost $14.31.
It was the price of filling the
gas tank and the dinner table
that accounted for about half of
the increase.
