HEPPNER GAZETTE-TIMES Thursday, January 24, 1963 Chots With Your Home Agent Money Managing Gets Attention In Shortcourses By ESTHER KIRMIS Plans are underway for the Morrow County Extension ser vice to conduct a four-week money management shortcourse in Heppner, beginning Jan. 31 and in Irrigon, beginning Jan. 28 Why All the Talk About Money We don't have to look very far to notice the attention that's be ing given to money and financial planning these days. There's evi dence all around us in news papers and magazines, on radio and TV, in cartoons, and comic pages, and in conversations with friends and family members. Why all this attention? Why all this financial talk? After all, we've been earning and spend ing money for a good many years. The change that's brought all this money talk is a many-sided thing. Here is mention oi oniy a few changes we can see. One is the widespread use of credit there's more available and more being used than ever before. Credit has forced a certain amount of financial planning. Certainly our families have changed considerably since the turn of the century from produc ing to consuming families. To day we need money to buy the necessities and pleasures of life. More and more of our people are switching from home rental to home ownership and the financing of the home itself has brought iamllles into money management in a big way. Of course furnishings ana equip ment expand this money man agement for the home even farther. The baby boom in the 1940'u has also been a great influence on our interest in money. Cost of rearing these children has been great. More families are also concerned with higher education of their children. In earlier years children contributed to the in come of the family through their work on the farm and in the home. Today, more money is needed to see them througn tneir school years until they leave home to start homes of their own. No small factor is the longer life people expect today. At the turn of the century the average Ruralette Sewing Club Has Winter Meetings Cherl Carlson was hostess to the December meeting of the Ituralette 411 Sewing club.
