POUTICS AND SUICIDES
The Republican propagandists
are warning that the suicide rate
will increase in 1957 if Steven
son is elected. "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. The all-time fede
ral high was In 1934 when It
reached 17.4 Suicide claimed 251
lives in Oregon last year, a slight
decrease from the 254 deaths dur
ing 1954. The highest rate in
Oregon was in 1932 with 24.7.

A new federal income tax pro
vision in effect since 1954 is often
overlooked according to R. C.
Grandquist, director of Internal
Revenue Service in Portland.
It provides that working child
ren can be claimed as exemptions
in tax returns regardless of the
earnings of over $600, if under 19
years of age at the end of the year
or are full time students, regard
less of age. Parents must contrib
ute more than half the child's
support and the children them
selves may be entitled to re
funds in whole or part of income
taxes withheld from their wages
during their employment.
MIGRANT WORKERS
Oregon is second in the U. S. in
number of migrants needed each
year to plant and harvest crops
and work in canneries yet no ef
fort has been made by the state
to alleviate problems of housing,
health, employment security,
education of children and com
munity attitudes.
The Oregon Council of Churches
committee on migratory labor is
planning a request to the 1957
Legislature for an interim com
mittee to deal with the problems

of the more than 40,000 migrant
workers. The request will stress
the necessity of a state-wide pro
gram of information to dispell
ignorance and prejudice- about
migrants and their contributions
to welfare of the state.
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.

"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?
For th big things in your life, be read
