Tugman, Reedsport, chairman of the advisory committee of the state's tourist promotion agency. Tourists increased from 1, 839.000 in 1948 to 3,539,000 in 1957. Total number of visitors this year established a record for the industry in Oregon. Surveys made by, the traffic engineering division of the Ore gon state highway department are similar to those used by the widely recognized studies done yearly by the Curtis Publishing company. Contrasts Oregon System "In contrast to the Oregon system, which counts only out-of-state cars staying here three days or longer," Tugman said, "some states project their total on the basis of all out-of-state vehicles, even those staying one day, whether or not they carry tourists. They make no distinc tion between business and pleas ure travel. "Still others regularly include in their annual figures the trav el within their states by their own people," Tugman said. It was a contrast of Oregon's '"conservative" system with the less-conservative system of oth er states which made it appear that Oregon was not "keeping up" with other states in tourist travel, in a recent dispatch from Washington, D.C., quoting the department of the interior, ac cording to travel experts here. Higher Increase A much higher Increase in tourist traffic could have been registered by counting every out-of-state car to enter Oregon, and intra-state travel as well, Tugman explained. While this survey indicates a big increase in tourist traffic, the budget of the highway de partment's travel information division has gone up only 19 per cent since 1948. The divi sion, since 1935, has been pro moting travel to Oregon through its nationwide advertising cam paign and public relations pro gram. Tugman said the travel divi sion's advisory committee, of which he is chairman, the divi sion itself and Its advertising counsel keep in close contact with all types of communication media to obtain the best buys available, particularly in regard to securing editorial support of the division's campaign and in joining with other western states for sectional promotions.

Sunday, October 27, 1957 MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE ELEVEN Veterans Urged to Study Life Insurance Policies "World War II veterans hold ing term GI life insurance might do well to ponder the experience of nearly 20,000 veterans of World War I who didn't convert their term policies to permanent GI insurance," S. T. Brannock, officer in charge, VA office, Med ford, has urged veterans. Term GI insurance, Brannock explained, must be renewed every five years at an increas ingly higher premium rate. Having carried their term GI policies through as many as sev en renewals, about 20,000 World War I veterans now face an al most insoluble problem, Bran nock said. Averaging 62 years of age, with their earnings generally de clining, they are finding renewal cost of term policies so high that many of them are being forced to drop their GI insur ance. Even those who can afford to renew currently may not be able to do so in another five years. Brannock pointed out. World War II veterans can avoid the dilemma by converting to permanent GI insurance. The initial cost of permanent insur ance is higher than term, but the premium rates do not in crease. In addition, Brannock explain ed, permanent GI insurance has IF SHOE DOESN'T FIT?

Term insurance has none of these. Information about conversion of GI insurance policies is avail able at any VA office. The VA Office at Medford is located at 6th st. and Riverside ave.
