"The suicide graf shows that during Hoover s ad ministration just preceding the Roosevelt administration, the na tional rate went from 13.9 to 17.4 and during the first four years of the Roosevelt administration it dropped to 14.3, The GOP press agents should be fired for that plooper. SUICIDE RATE DOWN It takes a long time to get sta tistics gathered on suicides as there are frequent cases that are first reported as suicides that turn out to be natural deaths and cases that reverse this history. Some of these cases get into the courts, frequently appealed and carried to higher courts they may last for years. The 1955 statistics on suicide in Oregon and the na tion have recently been released. They show the suicide rate down about 3.3 per cent in this state or 14.8 deaths per 1000,000 popu lation but still ranked far above the national average of 9.9, an all-time low.

BILKING OLD PEOPLE Several Western Oregon sheriffs have reported the activities of a confidence man posing as a rela tive who has been relieving elder ly residents of substantial sums of money. Latest victim was an 83-year-old Marion area man who last week was approached by a stranger at his home and intro duced to part with $380 after be ing convinced the man was a "cousin from Indiana" whom he had not seen for 14 years. Law enforcement officers advise that when relatives you have not seen for a long time and then suddenly turn up and need to borrow money should be checked carefully. Have another member of the family phone state police while making a lengthy conversa tion, if a "cousin" shows up for money, is the advice of law of ficlals who would like to help this con man out, of circulation.

" - tx w : i r 1 y "Jwt ft bousewife1 is s term we hear too often. That's about like aying "just a doctor" or "just a company president." The job you're doing as a housewife is one of the most important anybody is doing in America today. Who is mainly responsible for your family's health? It's you -the housewife. And our fine national health record testifies to the good job you're doing on this score. Who sets your family's standing inyour community? You do. You not only create an attractive home for your family and plan the entertaining, but also make most of the outside social contacts in church, club and community. How far would the charitable operations of these groups get without your help? And your family's financial standing depends as much upon your ability to manage money as it does your husband's ability to earn it. Your family string program is as much your responsibility as it is your husband's. That's why so many women today are urging their husbands to invest in U. S. Series E Savings Bonds. They know that the principal invested in Bonds is safe -not subject to market fluctuations. And the returns are sure -an average 3 interest, compounded semi annually when held to maturity (9 years and 8 months). With the automatic extension privilege, Bonds will continue to pay that same high interest for 10 years more. That means $1.80 in returns for every $1.00 invested. Remember, you can help your family win financial security tomorrow by encouraging your husband to invest regularly in Savings Bonds today. And the next time you hear someone say "just a housewife," stick up your chin and speak up for the job you're doing. Where would your family or your country be without you?
