The clever columnist of "Isn't It the Truth" fame, Carl Riblet, Jr., has this to say: "Here are four measurements of inflation a ticket at a movie theater costs $1 more today than it did four years ago; an average-priced auto is up $1,000; a status-symbol house costs $10,000 more, and the tab for an hour of prime time on TV has gone up $100,000 since 1968. "The only thing that hasn't spiraled up is the price of the political handshake, and that's because there is so little demand for it."
More and more people don't get up when the alarm clock goes off, says Harvey H. Shore, professor of industrial administration at the University of Connecticut. Absenteeism among workers, he estimates, ranges from 3% to 7% on any given work day and costs $15 to $20 billion a year in wages paid to absent workers.
The penny, as we know it, may be on the way out, a victim of inflation and the times. The U. S. Mint has commissioned a study to determine whether the penny and half-dollar pieces should be phased out and what future coinage needs may be. An official consultant remarked that the penny may be obsolete. It has little purchasing power, is expensive to manufacture and poses production problems because of the large numbers needed. A two-cent piece is a possibility. This country has not had a two-cent piece since 1873.
