DOWN,
PER IVtONTH!
Wage rates this year should rise about 4 percent. In many industries bigger
pay envelopes will be automatic because provisions for higher wages were
negotiated long ago. In fact, more than 2^ 2 million employees are going to get
6c to 7( extra per hour without any argument whatsoever.
In other industries, however, the sailing may not be so smooth. New union
contracts will be necessary in the following key areas sometime this year:
Railroads, aircraft, communications, apparel, shipbuilding, airlines, glass,
and electrical products.
How quietly all this winds up remains to be seen. Mere money isn't at stake
in many cases. A big issue will be automation the use of sophisticated
machines which often supplant even skilled labor.

fewer houses will be built this year than last for one major reason
costs more, including money. So the kind of homes you'll see
undei- construction in the coming months will be somewhat flossier, more
expensive than usual. Builders (and buyers) of cheaper residences won't be
able to raise enough cash to get into the market as easily as before.
Among the components that will have higher price tags are lumber, steel,
fixtures, and, of course, land itself.
All told, this will be a year to look before you leap.
As for remodeling an existing home: Figure it will cost a little more in

Health insurance for older folks is working its way up the congressional
ladder. The idea is to devise something like the Social Security program to
help people with their ailments when their earning power has declined oiceased. Washington observers feel that legislation is only a matter of time.
In the interim, note these developments:
1. Several insurance companies have begun to sell health insui'ance to
people who have crossed the 65 mark. The premiums aren't cheap, but an
opening move has been made.
2. Some of the nonprofit medical groups are thinking about taking in new

Isn't this exactly the kind of hospitalization policy you have always
wanted? When you're sick you get cash to help pay those bills, to
provide the best care, the best doctors available, but if you stay well
you haven't paid out money purely for protection. Instead you get a
cash refund back. You can't lose. If you need to use the money it's
there to help you, if you don't, you've built a savings account of
your own. Remember this new kind of hospitalization insurance,
