Auto Expense Next
To Food In Nation
AUTOMOBILES NOW RANK IN
“BIG FOUR" OF AVERAGE
HOME BUDGET, ACCORDING
TO RECENT SURVEY
The family automobile has come
to rank with food, clothing and
household operations as one of the
“big four” of the family budget, a
consumer purchase study by the
United States bureau of home eco
nomics in sample village and farm
areas of the country reveals.
Food was everywhere the biggest
single item of family cash spending,
even in the farm counties, where
large amounts were produced at
home, but the family car in many
areas ranked second.
“Today’s farmer,’ said Dr. Louis
Stanley, chief of the bureau, “must
have his auto, and when anew one
is not economically feasible, the used
car goes in great numbers to make
life more livable down on the farm.
Usually it is a better grade used car.”
The bureau’s findings on how Am
ericans in rural areas spend their
money is expected to have an im-
portant bearing on future economic
planning for the nation. The United
states bureau of labor statistics is
making a comparable study for a
group of medium and large cities.
The results of the two studies will
be analyzed by the national resour
ces board and a report made to the
president.
Other things the rural survey
showed were that:
In small cities, half the native
white families receive incomes of
less than SISOO a year.
In villages, half the native white
families received less than $llOO a
year.
The tendency to save comes soon
er and is more pronounced in rural
families than in the average Ameri
can family.
At least 10 per cent of the families
spent less than SBS to the person each
year for food. (The bureau found
all diets in this class “very poor.”)
The median spending level for
food was $l3O to the person a year.
(At this level, 22 per cent of the
families had first-class diets; 13 per
cent, second rate; 40 per cent, third
rate; 10 per cent, poor or very poor.)
“Income, however, was not the on
ly determining factor in these fam
ily diets," Dr. Stanley pointed out.
“The part played by selection of
foods opens up a vast field for im
proving American diets through ed
ucation.
“At every expenditure level above
SIOO per person per year for food,
some families succeeded in obtaining
very good diets, while others had
diets that were only fair or poor.
Seventy-five per cent of the families

were spending SIOO or more per per
son per year for food, but fewer than
30 per cent were selecting very good
diets.”
