- With changes taking place to
the way the average family is
handling its household dollar,
__ as to "How
much are Brown County fam-
Mlies spending per year?” and
“Where are they spending it
and for what?”
The answers are provided by
the Standard Rate and Data Ser-
vice in a voluminous market
data report that covers the entire
country.
In I, each community is ex-
amined with respect to its pur-
ehases of food, merchandise,
automobiles, furniture and eth-
er items.
In Brown County, It appears,
most of the money that was spent
in retail stores went to those
selling food and automotive
equipment.
These taro attracted nearly
48 per cent of all retail busi-
nets locally.
It was more than they account-
ed for in most parts of the Unit-
ed States. 41 per cent. They av-
eraged 44 per cent in the ’Vest
South Central States.
The breakdown shows that
total food purchases last year
to the county’s bakeries. gro-
cery stores, supermarkets, bot-
cher shops and the like came
to $7,723,000, a rise from the
previous year’s $7,202,000.
This amount, which represented
24 per cent of all retail sales,
was for food bought for home
consumption Not included was
money spent for outside eating
and drinking.
Food buying in Brown Coun-
ty was equivalent to $957 per
local family, determined by di-
viding the total purchases by
the number of households.
Outlets for cars and other
automotive equipment, such as
motorcycles, boats, batteries and
tires, accounted for 87.635.000.
They garnered nearly 24 per cent
of the retail dollar.

AU sorts of reports are out
about what Kennedy intends to
do. For # time the possibility of
a declaration of a state of na-
tional emergency claimed atten-
tion. Talk of this has dwindled
lately.
There have been reports that
Kennedy was considering adding
two or three billion dollars to his
$43-billiom defense budget.
MITARY INCREASE
Word has spread that he was
considering such steps as call-
ing out reserves and Nation-
al Guardsmen, increasing their
training or service. expanding the
draft and Army manpower and
buying more arms for convention-
al forces, pulling some ships from
the "mothball fleet,” calling for
a special tax increase and trying
to persuade the allien to take
parallel steps.
The White House has fended off
all efforts to clarify details.
T o clear the way for putting
them into specific thoughts and
phrases. Kennedy kept the entire
day tree of formal appointments.
As assistant press secretary An-
drew T. Hatcher phrased it,
"There are no anmounced ap-
pointments for Pr wad ret Kennedy
on Monday."
SPEECH PLANNING
This left the field open for
plenty at unannounced ones.
Hatcher said the chief executive
was going to confer with mem-
bers at the White House staff and
administration who could contrib-
ute something to drafting Tues-
day’s speech.
U. S. Rep. O. €. Fisher at
San Angelo, a member at the
Armed Services Committee,
told The Bulletin by wire today
no definite decision had been
made on mobilizatlon of the
36th National Guard Division.
After checking with the
Pentagon this morning, Fisher
said:
"This subject will probably
be discussed by President Ken-
nedy ta his address tomorrow."
President Kennedy’s speech to
the nation Tuesday night will be
carried live by major TV net-
works.
Kennedy will speak from the
White House from 9 p.m. to 9 :30
p m. EST.
He is expected to outline plans
to shore up the nation’s defenses
in the light of the Berlin crisis
and tensions elsewhere in the
world.
Texas over the weekend. Forecast
calls for widely scattered thunder-
showers over the area through
Tuesday.
A few tree limbs were blown
off in a strong wind Saturday in
the May area. About 1 inch of rain
fell there in about 35 minutes Sat-
urday Weekend rainfall for May
totaled 1.50 inches.

rain over the weekend, with most
of this falling Saturday afternoon.
Another hard shower was reported
north of Goldthwaite this morning
