A Losing Game We don’t hear so much about a little inflation being good for the country. We have reached the point where even the most slow-witted should perceive that they can’t keep ahead of the game. According to official figures, the U.S. dollar lost 3.5 cents in purchasing power during 1967. This year, economists predict the dollar will suffer an even bigger loss. Federal spending and the huge deficit are cited as the principal causes. During the fourth quarter of 1967, the average per capita income after

Modernizing The State Fair

In many states, the annual festivals known as state fairs have been running into financial trouble. Unless ways can be devised to put them on a sounder financial footing, this bit of Americana will one day become no more than a nostalgic memory. It is gratifying to note that one state is doing something to preserve the institution of the state fair in a little different manner and under a different name. In 1968, California is to open a permanent exhibition known as The California Exposition. The Exposition will be largely a private undertaking, thus lifting the cost of the annual state fair off the shoulders of taxpayers. A two-week fall festival will be scheduled at the time the state fair has been held in previous years. Livestock and farming and boysenberry jams will continue to enjoy their rightful prominence. But beyond this, the

taxes rose $33 with all but $6 of it eaten by inflation. As/time goes on, if inflation is not halted,'wage and income increases will mean less and less. Keeping up with inflation resembles trying to run alongside an express train as it pulls out of the station. The race should be called off. Inflation should be stopped at its source. Federal spending on limitless welfare programs that will gradually become meaningless as federal budget deficits mount, thus feeding the fires of more inflation, should be brought to an end.

permanent Exposition is designed to, attract visitors from all over the nation. It is a $33-million venture, which includes flexible exhibits, open-air displays, sheltered exhibits, playgrounds, canals, alcoves and theatres. Both the setting and contents will seek to delight inform, educate and entertain visitors of all age£, tastes and interests. California, with its combined perpetual Exposition and annual state fair festival, has set a precedent in showmanship, initiative and imagination on a pay-as-you-go basis that might well be emulated with profit in other states. It has shown the way to save our state fairs. Those traveling in the West next summer will find the California Exposition conveniently located in the center of the state, near the state capital and but a short distance from other points of spectacular interest.
