A Game With Figures There is a popular came played by government econo mists which could be called "Prove How Much More We Have Now." , The way it's played, you take the cost of the item say, a pair of shoes Then you figure out how much they cost 30 years ago and how much they cost today. Then you issue a statement telling how many hours it took to earn the pair of shoes 30 years ago, and how much time at the grindstone it takes to earn the same pair of shoes now. The result Is always about the same. It takes a lot less time to earn the shoes today. The formula calls for taking the average hourly salary today compared with the average 30 years ago, and dividing it into the price of the shoes or other commodity. This is an Interesting pastime, which is useful because it can be published to convince American people that they're better off than ever before. And this very well may be true. But the method of reaching the conclusion sometimes leaves a little of the story untold. It goes something like this, although the figures are not from any statistical compilation they're just for the sake of example: A pair of men's shoes cost $5 in 1930, and the similar product would cost $22 today. This seems to be quite an in crease, but wait. The average wage in 1930 was something like 40 cents an hour. Today the some workman would be making $3.50 an hour. So it takes him 6.25 hours to earn the pair of shoes, where in 1930 it would have taken 12.5 hours. These would be very comforting figures, except for a few small details. The guy who's making the $3.50 has a few things to think about besides buying shoes. Like federal takes. And state taxes. And sales taxes. And skyrocketing social security tax (yes, it's a tax). And like compulsory insurance taxes. And like hidden taxes. Not only that, he's been so successful in improving his position that today's worker is putting in fewer hours. He may work only 37 to 40 hours a week. And if you think those longer paid holidays and a bonus, remember that vacation time usually costs considerably more than at work. So the next time somebody tells you how much better oft you are than beore and has figures to prove it, think twice. Dad's 40 cents an hour might have been meager by today's standards, but it somehow was enough so mom could stay home and do the housework and not have to get a Job. It may be because the statistics will never show how many free pounds of liver or soup bones the butcher threw In, or how long the corner grocer carried your account, with out interest. Or many other things that made life more liv able when the economy wasn't so free and easy. One can't turn back the clock, so maybe it's a good thing the government statisticians have come up with their formu la. It make the citizenry more comfortable. And it also pro vides employment for statisticians. out into the world to make their own success in life. We look forward with antici pation to our association with Mr. and Mrs. Charlie Heard and are confident that they will be successful also in promoting strength and security to the communities in the county. Jso at this time we want to say thank you Helen for all the good memories and we wish you the very best in the many years ahead. Arnold Raymond Reggie Pascal Dale Cooper UNICEF can commit toward car Tying out the work. All govern ments are convinced that one of their greatest resources is the children, and that stroner, healthy, educated youth are the insurance or good citizens xor the future. The Halloween collections sponsored by the U. S. Commit tee for UNICEF are an Import ant source of Income for the children's fund, raising $3 mil lion in 19C8 and UNICEF erect ing cards sales are another val uable contribution. In Oregon our children collected in pen nies $31,707.01.

To the Editor: October makes us think among other things, of Hallo ween, October 31. which has been declared national UNICEF Day by the President of the United States. On that day several million children will become partners in an international program of as sistance to needy children in other parts of the world by ring ing doorbells to "Trick or Treat for UNICEF." A word or two might be ad dressed to the adults of the com munity so that they understand more fully what this appeal for pennies, nickels, and dimes rep resents. The United Nations Childrens Fund (UNICEF) now in its 23rd year acts to stimu late and assist governments to plan for their future generations by serving their children now. UNICEF aids nearly 500 proj ects In 119 countries in the fields of health, nutrition, edu cation and family welfare. The form of UNICEF aid is not in cash but in supplies, equipment, training fellowships and technical advice so that child-centered programs can be undertaken and implemented by tne assisted countries them selves. beveral basic DnnciDles un derlie this work. The United Na tions Children's Fund is non political and takes no sides In political disputes. It believes that a hungry or sick child should be cared for without re gard to the ideology of his gov ernment. Moreover, a country must request UNICEF assistance on a program and commit itself to contribute from its own re sources an average of two and one-half times the amount PROPERTY TAX FAX Relatives from Hormi Condon and Hardman gathered .

The Rhyming Philosopher REGENERATION We never must admit to growing old Nor recognize we're getting bald or gray, So long as remedies are being sold To keep us young until we're called away. With colored hair or wigs to change our looks, And undetected artificial teeth. Though dietitians must derange the cooks, It's easy to deny that Time's a thief. We squeeze in tighter girdles to suppress Reluctant tummies for a slimmer girth; And exercise to gain more suppleness. But mostly to prolong our stay on earth. But comes a time we're face to face with truth: There's no such thing as everlasting youth! But just suppose the scientists succeed In keeping bodies constantly renewed With hearts and lungs, as doctors have conceived, Would then life's span approach infinitude? But one more answer scientists must give: Where in the world would all these people live? HARRY W.
