Oregon poverty increasing Edacational Center expands programmln3
Oregon continues to have
lower level* of poverty and
income concent rat ion than
I he United State* a* a
whole, although the gap
In-tween the state and
nation appear* to be nar
rowing.
This i* one o( the main
liudings of Janie* It. Fitch,
assistant jirolessor ol agri
nlliiral economic* at Ore
/.on State University, and
John E. Schefler, a gradu
ite student in that depart
iio-nt, as reported in "In
' ome Distribution Pattern*
in Oregon: A Comparison
of O r eg o n
C o u n tie s
through Time."
Oregon's lower than
average index of inrome
onrenlration was retained
hi spite of an apparent
increase in concentration in"
the slate during the I960*,"
«ay* the study, which used
income concentration a* a
measure of economic in
equality.
"As was pre
viously known from census
publications. Oregon drop
ped behind U.S. per capita
and median income norm*
in IMB for the first time in
recent decades."
The two economists re
lied on median family in
come, index of income
concentration, and the per
rentage of fam ilies in
poverty to avoid the di*
advantages of using a single
statistic.
The study revealed strik
mg contrasts in changes of
income pattern* for the
different regions of the
state.

It
might not be accurate, so
your house may be warmer
than 66 degrees. Eor every

Don't forget to check the
filter in a forced air furnace.
Dirty filters block the
movement of air and

unless the cold air gets

Biggest saving* in heat

Adding insul

you borrowed money to buy
the insulation.
So it really pays to put in
added insulation, Mrs.
Brown says. Each month
you will havjj more money
