loan. 320 lost from your dollar just since the war and year offer raid goes It doesn't matter whether you call it "inflation" or "dollar nibbling" or "higher living costs." Of course you've felt it. The steady whittling away at every dollar you spend or save. The struggle to get through until pay day. The fight to make both ends meet, regardless of higher wages.

How can we stop the value of the dollar going down and down? One of the greatest dangers to the purchasing power of the dollar lies in expecting the federal, state or local-to play Santa Glaus and bring us new services year after year. We simply can't expect to have all the services we would like, however desirable they may be. Not while we're carrying the biggest peacetime military budget in our history. By pressing for new benefits at a time like tliis, we face higher and higher or more and more inflation. Your representative in Congress understands this.

And he knows that in the end it is you who pay the cost of these projects. But he can't hold the line against inflation unless you and others make it clear that this is what you want. Support him in ever)' effort he makes to tighten up on non-defense expenditures and to eliminate waste.

We'll have also given millions of Americans greater incentive to add to their savings. Not only will a growing nest egg bring a comfortable feeling of independence and security. Those savings, as they are invested, will provide the capital needed for America's future growth. America's growth, and your prosperity, both depend on a stable dollar.

Brought to you in the interest of every American who fa concerned with preserving the value of the dollar.
