Most retailers, moreover, prefer lo lake Ihe spring quarter, Including February, March and April, ihe March-April period, rather than compare on an blast er-lo-Kasler basis. DMTORTIONS citoi up.

AMI Hike's reported good strength in children's wear. The Kasler season is normally one of Ihe limes when families Indulge in outlining the children, it was indicated.

Bad weather and an early Baiter this yen are factors, but company sales are running ahead of last year on a The Hike's spokesman also said it appears thai sales for Ihe lust quarter I February, Match and Aprlll will exceed sales lor Ihe same period lust year. "lit SIM'iSS HAS been quite good," said Ihe Hike's spokesman.

Margolis noted that sonie increase in business has been realised from Sunday openings at suburban stores, a policy thai became ellecllve Ibis inonlli. "IALRI Alt HOLDING op anil we are looking forward to an excellent spring season," said Mark Goldman, of Goldman's, formerly Bargain Barn stores, Max Gutmann, executive vice president for Elder-Beer-man stores, laid, "We lime been alfecled sliglilly by Ihe weather, hut by and huge sales are up lo expectations." Rased on lo-dnte volume, (iulmann expects Easier shopping lo exceed thai of lasl year, THK CURRENT week will be an important factor, he said.

"This Is the week lhal counts, The week before Bitter is always the biggest week for children's clothing and accessories." Like other merchants, Gutmann believei lhal Ihe March-April season is a more significant analysis period than is a comparison on a slricl Kaster-lo-Kasler basis. "I'm a stock broker. I think every in vestor should at least consider listed stocks Americans IJnderinsured lV VOUK In nisi a mat I er of days, the amount of life insurance in lon with U.S. life insurance cMipanies will cross the historic trillion I'J zeros!) mark. This is the total amount in- surance companies arc now committed to pay yon ami their policy-holders in the years ahead, How does the value of your own life insurance compare with the averages today? Are yon, as an Individual and are we as a nation.

overlnsuredT 'The fa i' Is are: Out of every three American Individuals, two now ow some form of life insurance, with an average policy size of 15.000. The average new policy being bought is $9,000, Out of every 10 American husbands under age 88, nine own some kind of life insurance, with a face value averaging The average insured family last year had a tola I of $19,700 in life insurance, more than doubit tin'' average one decade earlier, and Ihls family today pays a yearly life insurance premium equal In 24 per cent of its yearly after-tax income, Last year Americans bought nn all-time record lotal of $131 billion worth of life insurance, more than double what they bough; in 1956. figure Keep Soaring The figures go on and on. Over 58.000,1)00 American breadwinners today are covered by group life insurance We own 6h billion of credit life Insurance to cover our obligations lo Ha off mortgages, auto loans and other consumer loans in the event of death, and this type of insurance is today's fastest gjjbwing form of life insurance Most provocative, a full per cent of the cash benefits of life insurance policies today is being paid out while the owners are still living- reflecting the proportion of savings involved in the insurance. Only 42 per cent is being paid to survivors.

The dramatic upsurge in life insurance obviously reflects our steadily rising incomes and the spread of group life insurance. A continued surge is guaranteed by the fact that our "war babies" are now beginning to marry, bear children, set up housekeeping, and buy life insurance. Are we then overinsured? No! While the totals and the averages may astound you, even more astounding is the evidence that a majority of Americans today are actually under-insured, liok at these fads on the other side of the coin: Average Too Small The "average" $19,700 in life insurance for a family Is equivalent to only 23 months of that family's disposable income. The industry's "rule of thumb" is that a family should have Income protection equal to four or five years. If the fact that nine out of ID husbands under age fiS own insurance impresses you, even more significant is the tact that one out of 10 in this category is NOT insured A full tl) ppr cent of the insured husbands own life insurance equal to less than one year's income.

v. DAYTON PLANT at I graduate of Ohio Slate university who worked in propeller i and tool design at became shop superintendent iiti What's ipecial about slocks an the New York Slock Exchange? "Generally they 're the big companies, the leaders in their lields. When a company's stock is first listed, the Exchange has to be satisfied that it has earned a position of importance in its industry, and that it has proved its ability to make a profit." Is profit the whole picture? "No. There are lots of guidelines for original listing. One is that ownership can't be concentrated in just a lew hands; there have to be at least 1,700 owners of 100 shares or more anil some go to a million sharcowners or higher.

The Exchange has certain standards lor dc-hsling a company, too." How ran I learn annul listed stocks? "Thai's an important point, (ienctally thete. is moie information available on listed slocks. The Exchange rules require that these companies put out linancial reports and promptly advise Ihe public of major developments. The investor should ask his broker lor such facts." How many companies are listed on the Exchange? "About 1 ,200 out of some 1 ,400,000 in this country. But these few, as a group, earn about 70 of the profit reported by U.S.

corporations, and pay about 60 of all dividends." How many people own listed stocks? "The Exchange estimates that 20,000,000 people own stocks, and 12,000,000 of these own lislcd slocks. And of course many listed stocks are favorites of the big institutional investors." That's fine, but how does thai nflcet me? "One thing is thai thousands of buy and sell orders come to the (loot of the Exchange every day, So whether you want lo buy or sell, your biokcr can usually find your opposite number in a matter of minutes." Docs all Ihis mean lhal listed slocks are rifht for everybody? "No, it doesn't. Every investor has his own set of circumstances, and the broker wants him to feel completely free about discussing them. Your goal, for example dividends, or long-term growth, or Ihe relative safety that bonds or certain preferred stocks might offer. Then there's ihe question of how much to consider investing, after allowing for living expenses and emergencies.

Every investment carries a certain degree of risk. Investing comes down lo a combination of'circu nstana s. hard lads and judgment. Bui my experience tells me hat eve investor should consider listed slocks."
