. 0 TWO MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Friday, January 8, 1956 Survey Reveals Couples Marry On "Shoestring" If "marrying on a shoestring" can be defined as going to the altar on an income of less than $60 a week about $3,000 a year then one out of every three newlywed couples falls into this category, says the In stitute of Life Insurance. Citing a study made recently by the National Office of Vital Statistics, the Institute points out that 35 per cent of couples newly-married at the time of the survey had annnual income of less than $3000. Some of these couples, by careful money management, un dnnbtedlv found they could mv--tn rin 1ms than S60 week. Others, presumably, were receiving assistance from their familips throush eifts of food or money. A number of students were included in the 35 per cenx ti,iVi nw nr no income of niiu, it- their own, were being supported by their parents. At least one in m nt these newly-married couples was living with their families. And, of course, some newly weds were farm couples who like most farm families have comparatively small cash in comes and rely to a greater or lesser degree on food raised on the farm. O There are always a few young sters who get married impul sively, apparently without mucn thought of the responsibilities of matrimony and establishing a family. But from the point of view of income, most newly weds, seem to have at least a fair foundation upon which to build. Tn four out of 10 new marriages family income exceeds $4000 a year, or about $80 a week. - Meeting Planned By Past Matrons Past Matron's club of Reames chapter, Orderof Eastern Star, will meet Monday, January 9, . at the home of Mrs. C.
