Women Study Stabilization Of Economy Home demonstration units in Jackson county 'are joining the other - 64,048 clubs throughout the nation in a study program to determine how their 1,500,000 members can help to stabilize the buying power of the dollar and protect the economy against harmful inflation or deflation. This program carries out one of the principal aims of the Na t i o n a 1 Home Demonstration council for the 1954-55 club sea son,, according to Mrs. Ira T. Burns, Medford, county commit tee chairman. "One simple and practical way in which everyone can help is by taking part in the United States savings bonds program of the treasury," Mrs. Burns com mented. "Our home demonstra tion' clubs are devoting at least one study program this fall to the part these bonds play in the economy and in the f Treasury's debt management policies, in addition to their benefits to the thrifty saver. When the possible savings bond purchases of 1,- 500,000 members and their fam ilies are added together, it runs into billions of dollars. ' "The American Legion auxil iary, Daughters of the American Revolution, millions of members of the General Federation of Women's clubs and the Congress of Parents and Teachers as well as many other groups are mak ing this a special project for the 1954-55 club year. Add all these and you have a truly powerful force to 'back any project, they undertake. "The national economy is everybody's business. The eco nomic welfare of the home and family depends upon it, and it, in turn, depends a lot on how the home and family affairs are managed. Our word "economy" comes from the Greek "oikos" meaning "house" and "nemos" from the verb "to manage." So economics is household manage ment on a national or world scale.".
