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.

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.
This is the first original work
done by a University student to be
presented this year. The last orig

son, now graduated, and v, as pre
sented in fall, 1948.
