Roger Babson, speaking from Babson Park Massachusetts, argues inflation is rising costs outpacing wages. He says the effect hits the elderly and savers hardest, noting purchasing power has fallen by two-fifths in two decades and forecasting continued misery for those aged over 65 into the 1970s and 1980s.
Local page 2 item in Winters Texas edition dated Friday March 11 1966 reports a community update and brief notices from Winters city sources. The brief item mentions residents and local events with period newsroom tone.
The 1965 period marked a breakout in wholesale prices after years of little change and a sharp rise in consumer costs led by meat and beef. The piece blames credit growth, wage pressures, deficits, and Vietnam spending, and urges tax increases and reduced affluence to avoid a deeper inflationary crisis. It also discusses stock market optimism versus mid year pessimism and the role of emotion in economic decisions.
The piece notes investors rush to buy stocks as inflation shields and greed drives gains after six months of prior selling. It predicts a sharp, unforeseen event this year that could again alter stockholder sentiment, while acknowledging profits or drops also influence prices.
The piece cautions that emotional swings in the Dow can rise suddenly and urges investors to stay grounded. It favors maintaining steady holdings in high quality bonds and savings books kept in a safe deposit box, highlighting the role of prudent, long term assets over hype.
