Oregon Income Hits New High Ellis Estimates Things are looking up, econom ically speaking, for the state of Oregon. That’s the opinion of Paul W. Ellis, professor of economics, who recently saw his estimates of Ore gon income for 1949 published in the Oregonian. He estimates that 1949 was the third consecutive year in which Oregon income payments topped the two million dollar mark, and indicates that 1950 may see an all time high. He expects an average annual 5 per cent gain (twice that expected for the United States as a whole) for the next ten years. There are two reasons for these increases. The population has greatly expanded in the last de cade, and average income has also increased. These factors have aided in expansion of the state as an actual and potential market. Prof. Ellis’ estimates are accept ed as having a high degree of ac curacy, for similar reports which he prepared last year for the Pa cific Coast Board of Intergovern mental Relations and the Oregon Business Review proved nearly correct. Mr. Ellis and a group of gradu ate students are currently planning to make monthly estimates on Ore gon income and to project it on an annual basis from 1950 to 1960. To this extent the recently published article, in which he was assisted by Jane Cordiner, graduate student in economics, is part of a continuous study. V It would be a much smarter world if everybody would use their advice instead of giving it away. Radio Workshop To Give Fantasy In Sunday Show The University Radio Workshop will present its second transplanted program over KERG this Sunday at 3:30. Supplanted on KOAC by the Oregon baseball games, the Workshop will offer “The Isle of Kaheila,” an original 30-minute fantasy for radio by Jack Vaughn, senior in speech. “Isle of Kaheila" deals with the strange experience of Marine Lieu tenant Swanson (Dick Zarones) who leads his platoon in the cap ture of a small island in the Pa cific. He finds that he is thor oughly familiar with the island, al though he has never been there be fore. On the island he finds and falls in love with a native girl named Kaheila (Janec Harris). Later he finds that this girl has been dead for 50 years, cr.d at the story’s cli max he learns the answer to the legend of "The Lne of Kaheila.” Others included in the cast are Jim Blue, A1 Hicks, Terry Roseen, Ray Hamilton, John Roaney, Dick Hardie, and Lorin Miller.
