This is the Sills family. Recently, John F. Kennedy visited the Sills. Mr. and Mrs. Sills are facing one of the great problems that all American families are now facing. And that is the great increase in the cost of living. Our rent has gone up, our food, our cleaning of our clothing, buying of the clothing, our gas and electric and our telephone bills have gone up. What's been your experience, Mr. Sills, keeping those two daughters of yours? We're very concerned with their future. We would like both of them to go to college. Have you been able to put much aside as well? No, unfortunately not right now. One of the things which I think has increased the cost of living has been this administration's reliance upon a high interest rate policy. My own judgment is that we're going to have to try to do a better job in this field. Yes, we can do better. But to do so, we must elect the man who cares about America's problems. We must elect John F. Kennedy President.
