E WAR COST SHARE IS ABOUT $3,200 Average Family Bond Invest ment Is $1,000; Little In come Tax Relief Soon Minneapolis The average American family's share of its country's war-time expenses is about $8200, of which it has al ready contributed over $1400 since Pearl Harbor, will still owe over $6800 as its pro rata share of the post-war national debt, according to a summary by Northwestern National Life In surance company To date, the average U. 5. family has invested approximate ly $1000 in E, F and G war bonds, of which it has cashed in $90 due to some emergency or other cause, leaving a net cash Investment of-about $910. The family since 1941 has paid over $500 in federal income taxes. As such a family paid no income taxes prior to 1942, its subse quent tax contributions should be considered as net investment in the war effort, the study says. $100 Interest Load The family's $6800 share of the post-war national debt some $1200 of which share was peace time, pre-1941 debt will mean a pro rata interest burden of over $100 a year. The per-family share of the annual cost of our army and navy will be around $160; its share of the cost of post-war veterans' benefits and pensions will probably run around $80 annually; the per family cost of farm payments and farm price supports after the war will approximate $55 a year, according to current esti- ffi'Ml L iiri" ' '- -1 Ready, folks?

A B-plcture, you say nothing colossal about it but to the bors in Arabia it will be the grandest thing that ever hit the screen. Hollywood's glam our girls can take that evening off. There's a story behind all this. On the shores of the Per sian Gulf, Standard's affiliate, the Arabian American Oil Com pany, is getting out petroleum products for Allied planes and tanks and trucks and a lot of Westerners are over there help ing. They're living in reason able comfort, of course, with decent housing and food and all the rest. But they're a long, long way from friends and fam ily. Especially family.

The course consisted of five two-hour classes held weekly for five consecutive weeks, taking up different methods of accident prevention work as related to Oregon industry. Medford industrial workers receiving certificates included: R. H. Alley. LeRoy C. Hill, Harold Bohn. Arthur E. Peters. Forrest O. Livingston, C. N. Woodcock. B. J. Lesconlie and W. H. Turnbull, At Prospect certificates were issued to M. L. Carter, J. E. Warren, E. E. Ryder, H. D. Suttcliffe, J. R. McCoy, Clyde Barnard and Roy Love. mates. With other post-war costs of government, the U. S. fam ily's share of the nation's esti mated 18 to 20-billion-dollar annual operating costs will to tal about $500 per year. Thus it can expect little relief in income tax rates in the immediate post war period. As the war nears its close, the typical U S. family faces the future with $910 cash invested in war bonds and some $930 in the form of other savings bank, savings and loan association, or postal savings. It has over $3000 in life insurance protection. On Cash Basis The family will start the post war period with little or no in instalment debts, as restrictions on instalment selling, combined with the scarcity of goods ordi narily purchased on instalments, have he'd down new purchases while old obligations were being liquidated. Probably the family's automobile and tires are run down, and considerable house-' hold equipment needs repairs or , replacement. The family has a burning desire for a lot of con sumer goods that have been im possible to buy during the war; it has over $1800 in cash plus a large instalment credit borrow ing capacity. It won't worry too much about the national debt. If uncertain of its breadwin ner's post-war pay check, the family will probably hang on to its cash resources and enter in to only the most necessary obli gations, the study suggests. But if continued employment pros pects are rosy, the average U. S. family has the resources with which to enter a large and pro longed buying spree as soon as war-time restraints on produc tion and purchasing are relaxed or lifted, the study concludes.

On New Britain Island one fanatical Jap soldier charged marine lines shout ing. "To hell with Babe Ruth!" On Guam trapped Jap troops on Orote peninsula tried to talk their way through marine lines at night by shouting, "Don't shoot. We're coming through!" On Angaur when the first army troops swarmed ashore a shell-groggy Japa nese officer dashed out of a cave shooting wildly and yelling, "Hey, Buddy, we've been waiting for you!" The marines replied with a withering hail of rifle fire and the Jap fell in his tracks. BICYCLE RATIONING NO LONGER IN FORCE Portland Rationing of bicy cles was ended today, Frederic F.
