B. (AP) De partment of agriculture home eco nomic experts described Klamath Falls and Eugene, Ore., as "flourish ing communltlea" whose inhabltanta enjoyed higher than usual average incomes during the year 1033-1938. In fast growing Klamath Falls tha year brought to 773 families In terviewed at random an average In coma of 91,887 to cover expenses of an average family of 8.4 persons." said Dr. Louise Stanley, director of the national "standards of living sur vey." In Eugene, the bureau of statisti cians contacted 3.393 families, and found the average Income to be $1 729 for a family of similar size. 1 Per Cent On Belief Dr. tSanley said 7 per cent of the Klamath FWls families Interviewed had been on relief at some time dur ing the year studied. Of the non relief families, 40 per. cent received an Income of leas than 81,500 a year. Among the self-sustaining families, those of the business and professional workers averaged 93,837 annual In come; those of clerical workers 91. 063 and those of wage earners 91.889. Describing the situation In Eu gene Dr. Stanley said: "A general lnduatrlouaness is lndU cated in the Eugene figures. Ninety per cent of the money Income came from earnings. Thirty-one per cent of the families had two or more earners. "But 0 per cent of these families Interviewed had been on relief dur ing tha year studied. Average In come from the non-relief families was 91,837." Income averages for both cities 'reached well into the upper levels" of the tables compiled In the na tion-wide study said Dr. Stanley. Nineteen small cities 140 villages and 88 farm counties were canvassed. Among 16 cities thus far tabulated, tho average Income range waa from 91,178 to 81.837. To Survey Spending "Further tabulations will toll how these Oregon families are spending their money," Dr. Stanley continued. "Already we are getting some Inter esting results on what kind of living various lncomea purchase In various sections of the country." As tn several other "oolloge cities." Dr. Stanley said she found the pro portion of business and professional families was larger In Eugene than In the more Industrial centers. Among the ee If -sustaining families of Eu gene, 30 par ceat were those of business and professional workers, who received an annual Income of 83.308; 30 per cent were families of clerical workers who received 81.848: 37 per cent were families of wage i earners who received an average In- i come of 91.608. i Average rent paid by Eugene famt lies was 920 per month, compared with the clfles analyzed to date.
