The rate increase to which he referred was denied. " It is a sad commentary on the economy of our times”, said Dean, “ when the rich spend half a million dollars in an effort to make the av erage wage earner poorer”. This money, he added, “ cou ld well have been spent for the very items which the utility company claims they so bad. ly need ”.

School will be starting soon, and 1 dread the costs of clothes, shoes and school supplies. Can you come up with some ways to save on back to school buying? There are a number of ways to save on children’s wear and school supplies. In the early fall, many stores have sales on sportswear. Such things as knit shirts, denim pants and skirts can be worn all year around. Bargain basements sometimes sell things such as blue jeans for two for five dollars, while they may be more on other floors. Don’t take this for granted, however. Compare prices before you buy. For some items, like windbreakers, you may do well shopping at second hand stores. After the boys have played football in them a couple of times, you probably wouldn’t know it if they had been new. For such items as rain slickers and equipment for Girl and Boy Scout activities you can probably get quite a bargain at an army or navy surplus store. Discount stores often sell at very low prices, but don’t just assume they are offering the best buy. Compare their prices with those at other stores. You may save by buying socks, underwear, white shirts, etc., by the box. Also, you’ll probably save if you buy school supplies like notebook paper, pens and pencils, and glue in the largest packages and dividing them between your children. Among your best bets for school supplies are discount drug and chain stores, “dime” stores, and large grocery stores. As in food, you may often save on clothes and school supplies if you buy the store’s own brand. The High School 4 .

A Buffet supper was served and enjoyed by all. “ But ” , said Dean , “ when the average taxpayer has th ese expenses, he can be ex. pected to defray these costs from his fixed Income, and cannot petition the Public Ser. vice Commission to solve his problems ”, “ Until the monied interests in this nation reverse the pow. er • mad procedures now being employed ” .wrote Dean “this country can only look forward to a one • way trip down the road to destruction ”, In conlusion, Dean wrote , “ I trust you will record my protest of the rate increase for the Georgia Power Company, and deny the same until such time as the financial situate ion of the average worker is fairly considered and stabili.*- zed • One word of caution -- don’t scrimp on your children’s shoes. They cost a lot, and the kids outgrow them fast, but the bones in children’s feet are very soft. If shoes are poorly made, press or rub in the wrong place or were bought too big so the child can “grow into them”, they can cause foot damage that will last the rest of the child’s life, as well as pain and blisters at the time. Always read labels on clothes. Be sure the garments are colorfast and won’t shrink. Dry cleaning is expensive; stick to washables as much as possible. Check the seams, hems and sleeves to see if there is enough material to let the garment out as the child grows. Elastic waistbands give a child room to grow too. Finally, press on patches are very in right now. Not only can you save a garment by covering a hole with them, the child will probably be delighted. Try to buy clothes that are simple in style. They will probably cost less, be easier to care for, and most of all, they are less likely to get caught in car doors, machinery or backyard fences.

Plan 504 is referred to as a “ Patch-up loan”. Up to $3500 can be borrowed for home repair. The first $2500 can be used for any thing • all over that has to be used for plumbing. Plan 504 carries a 1 percent in terest rate and is to be paid back in ten years. The 502 loan specifies 1400 feet floor space maximum and 3 bedrooms. However, this can be altered depending on special needs of the family. FHA will help purchase and landscape the land for build ing. The applicant has to pay the closing cost of the loan which is usually iVi percent. Mr. Purcell does not encourage the self-help housing program as it has a high rate of fail ure. He states that it would require the supervision of a person familiar with minimum property standards. Plan 502 loans are available to people with an adjusted year ly income of SBOOO. This is computed by adding the mans income plus % the wife’s in come ( Income of Children is not counted ). From this, 5 percent is deducted. From this figure, S3OO is allowed for each dependent in the house hold, and this gives the ad justed income. The meeting was adjourned at 4:45 P.M. Mrs. A. J.
