He was sure his bride-to-be would get Into the U. S. before the Sept. 21 deadline on admitt ance of war brides to this coun try. Relsbeck beamed as he e x plained Krauleln Hilda E i i n e r and their two-year old child, Bea trice Marianne, to arrive in Hali fax on the SS Aquitania Sept. 19. A train is to speed them across the U, S. border before the dead line. The combat veteran, who serv ed with the third army in Ger many, said that if they did not beat the deadline it might take years to get them in under an immigration quota. ' Reisbeck laid Krauleln Eisner and the daughter would come here, where they will be married and he will see the child for the lirst time. Previously Relsbeck said that he had been married in Ger many. After his .mother in Port land told newsmen otherwise, Relsbeck explained, "I thought it best Just to say I was married. You see the point, don't you. You don't think It will cause any trou ble, do you?" Reisbeck added he already had gone through troubles enough. Months ago he had reservations for Hilda and the baby, but when he checked, the company said it could not bring them over for months. When he came to New Orleans steamship companies told him the same story. Newspaper stor ies of his plight changed matters. Transportation was arranged and Reisbeck got a Job. All that remains now is the long journey tnrougn c-ngland and Canada. "Oh yes, "said Reisbeck, "Do you know a minister?" Ground-swells usually occur along shallow coasts and often n. tair weather.

And, some how, it never seems to fit your own case very well. For Instance, there are federal reserve board figures to show that Americans as a whole own more "liquid assets" than ever be fore some SIX! Dinion worm, compared with $45 billion before the war. But at the same time you are told that "the average spend ing unit," a family, had only $.100 put away in liquid assets in 1948, whereas the year before it had $350, and in 1946 had $400. Liquid assets are savings you can turn into cash easily when ou need it, such as demand and time deposits in banks, Savings & Loan shares and United States government securities. Very Confusing The growth in total liquid as sets and drop In average holdings becomes the more confusing when you are told that last year three million families used up their savings, but the same year as many or more started nest eggs for the first time. It all adds up to the suspicion that maybe there isn't any average American. If you are one of the three mil lion to have spent your liquid savings, you may have used them up when the cost of living was rising. But you may have put them Into a home or other real estate or into starting a business. That scarcely makes you a spend thrift. It does make you below average when It come! to com piling statistics. Before you get too worried about the average holdings of liquid assets being lower now than In 1946, look at some other figures. Gain In Savings There are 530 mutual savings hanks in the United States. Their total deposit! are Just under $19 billion, up from 10 13 billion Just ten years ago. There are more than 19 million depositors now, a gain of 31 million in 10 years. During the' first seven months of this year, while every one was talking about the slump, deposits rose $588 million. The number of depositors increased to 339,000 this year. HOME TOWN NEWS "IF THE WIFE CALLS . PORTANT BUSINESS DEAL." Coll on the ROSEBURG LUMBER COMPANY when in need of wood or sawdust. Remember . . . support the industry that supports you." THE WORRY WART At midyear Americana had $31 billion in postal savings and $36 billion in government savings bonds, more than ever before. Or look at life insurance, not counted as a "liquid asset." In the first seven months of this year Americans bought policies with face value of $13 billion (al though the premiums they paid in did not total that much, of course.) This was $172 million more than purchased In the same period last year. Their total hold ings at the start of this year were 70 per cent above that they held in 1940. Stocks Attract In the first six months of this year American individuals, banks and Insurance companies paid an average of $53 million each month for new Issues of corpo rate common stocks, $33 million for preferred stocks, and 4521 million for corporate bonds and notes. The National Industrial Conference board says you have to go back to 1929 to find any monthly average like it a monthly total of $5381 million for corporate securities. .Individuals' time deposits In banks totalled $52 billion at the start of this year, compared with $24 billion ten years ago, the fed eral reserve board reports. De mand deposits topped $29 billion, against a little more than $7 bil lion ten years ago. The department of commerce puts total personal income last year at $206 billion. That is the total paid out in wages, salaries, net Income of unincorporated business, dividends, interest, rents and benefits from social insur ance and veterans' pensions. The monthly peak was reached in .December. Since then it has retreated, and the latest figures, for July, show personal Income at an annual rate of just under $210 billion, a drop of $4.8 billion from July, 194a The department averages the 1948 total out at $1,410 a person, a gain of 7 per cent over the previous year. Chances are there were few persons who made exactly $1,410. But If you are one of these rare individuals, that makes you the 'average American. How did you i manage on mat 7 I'M ON AN IM.

He asserted political leaders "are led to believe the demand for sweeping medico-! o c I a 1 change! comes from the mass of the people."
