10,000 Jobless
Provided Work
Unemployment in Oregon is
estimated, on the basis of re
ports received up to noon Mon
day at the offices of the unem
ployment compensation commis
sion, to have been reduced by
nearly 10,000 in the last two
weeks.
That would bring the total
unemployed in the state from
the 90,000 brackets down into
the 80,000 brackets.
Reports from the 26 local of
fices in the state are received
by the commission every Mon
day, and more will come in lat
er in the day.
Most of the reduction is
brought about by more men re
turning to work in the western
part of the state, with resump
tion of operation by sawmills
and logging camps. Also a con
siderable amount of construc
tion is noted.
In Marion and Polk counties
it is estimated that unemploy
ment has been relieved by about
1000 in the last two weeks. In
that period from 50 to 100 men
have been returning to work
daily, according to reports. Be
sides sawmill and logging there
has been a spurt in farm labor
with the coming of better
weather.
In the two counties the peak
of ' unemployment was 8200
about February 1, and of that
number 5600 were claimants un
aer the unemployment insur
ance act.
The number of claimants in
Marion and Polk counties, both
in the jurisdiction of the Salem
employment office, has not
reached this winter the peak of
last year, which was 6100.

Jfleet Woody Jflartin
Another Do-It-Yourself
American!
Men like Woodford L. Martin live
on every Main Street. For you'll
find folks all over the country who
also believe America still has new
frontiers . . . and prove it by mak
ing their own security. How does
this Do-It-Yourself Spirit pay
off? You'll find one answer in the
story of this former Savannah,
Missouri, highway worker . , .
He hnilf a business
by putting new life in old land!
"k At 33, he heads his own firm
When Woody Martin got back from the
war, he saw the farms around his home '
county with new eyes. "It was dying
land," he recalls. "Everywhere you'd see
gullies, hillsides bare of topsail." Acre by
acre, water run-offs were ruining the land !
Martin talked over the problem with
expert soil conservation men. They told
him what the state already was doing . . .
Then he had an ideal Why not make a
business of putting new life in the land?
From small begirinings with one war-
surplus tractor, Martin today at 33 heads
a business that's well on the way to big
' success. For Martin saw an opportunity
and had the energy and ambition to do
something about it.
Woody Martin's "Do-It-Yourself
Spirit" is shared by lots of other people
in many other ways. For example, the 80
million Americans 4 out of 5 families
who voluntarily use life insurance to take
care of their own futures. And their num
ber is growing every day.
So the life insurance business is making
more benefits available to more people. It
brings weekly and monthly payment poli
cies to folks of modest means; family in-
come replacement plans to others. And
group life insurance to. millions of em
ployees. Today there are 584 individual,
competing companies and 150,000 trained
agents . . . helping Americans to help
themselves.
Life insurance is an open book. .
It's a fact that the money you pay
for life insurance "goes back to
Main Street" twice. ..
First, it goes back to work on
Main Street as investment money.
It helps build and expand plants,
build water works, extend power
lines ... it also helps finance
homes, improve farms. It makes
jobs in many ways.
These insurance Investments
are spread throughout the coun
try. You'll find them on farms, in
small towns as well as in large
cities, roughly in proportion to
life insurance ownership.
Second, life insurance money
goes back to Main Street when
paid to policyholders and bene
ficiaries. Then it helps keep fam
ilies a going concern, keeps chil
dren in school, gives older folks
secure retirement years.
To make sure you are getting
the greatest benefit from your own
life insurance, see your agent.

the most of it. The Institute of
