Thur., Feb. 21, 1952 Publicity Specialist Tarries In Roioburg Hollij Goodrich, who operates publicity agency in Portland flop ped in Roseburg Tuesday.

Defense Bond Sales Increase During January State-wide purchases of defense bonds during January were over three million dollars, wnicn re flects one of the highest sales vol umes in months. A total of $3,026,525 was pur chased in all series. Of this amount 83 per cent were in Series E bonds Purchases , in Douglas county amounted to 161,298 in all series, "Aside from the increase in E bond sales, the redemptions throughout the country during Jan uary show an encouraging trend,' ftenrpe I.unma. cnuntv defense bond chairman, stated". "Purchases of E bonds exceeded redemptions by 21 minion dollars. "In addition to this." Luoma em phasized, "only 12 per cent of matured E defense bonds, those is sued in January 1942. were nre sented for Davment. Since the first B bonds began maturing in May of last year, close to 75 per cent of bond holders have elected to hold on to their bonds." Under the Treasury's new ex tension plan, dctense bonds may be held for another ten years after they mature. The interest rate on the face value of the extended bonds is 2.5 per cent for the first Vh years of the extended maturity and 2.9 per cent If held for the full ten vears. "If bond holders continue to keep their matured bonds, and if re demptions continue to fall behind sales," Luoma concluded, "the Treasury's job of financing federal deficit spending will be made that much easier. In view of the pro posed deficit for the coming fiscal year, the sale of deiense oonas assumes greater significance than since the end of World War II. It is far better for the Treasury de partment to raise the money it needs to take care of deficit fin ancing through the sale of defense bonds to individuals than through the sale of securities to the banking structure. The latter method can only help to further the decreasing purchasing value of our dollar.

Matson recommended that a financial Interview be taken to de termine whether progress is beling made in farming operations, in answer to the question "are we borrowing more than we should?" Adjustments Needed Because of the high price level it is necessary to make adjust ments for individual financing, said Matson.-But, he pointed out, since the dollar is considered to be worth 50 cents compared with former values, then operating costs should be only double. If it is more, then the costs are out of line. Rnearriles of who is the finan cing institution, the creditor and farmer should be on a partner ship basis Spending should be con fined to necessities and not waste ful purchasing. Saving will do more than any thing else to help stabilize our economic situation, said Matson. The fact money is easy to get keeps prices up. Purchasing power is a good barometer to watch. Savings are the only thing that will restore the purchasing stabil ity of the dollar.
