By FRED DANZIG United Press Correspondent New York IP Americans are living high on the hog. And high on the cuff, too. Among us. we owe 343 billion, nearly S3 billion more than last year. But even al we sign IOUs, we salt away cash. Our savings this year add up to well over $800 billion. Installment credit outstanding accounts for about S33 billion of the total personal debt. Of this, commercial banks have $12,300, 000.000; sales finance companies (automobiles, appliances) have loaned S9,300,000,000; small loan companies, or consumer finance companies, have around $3,200,- LEGAL NOTICES NOTICE TO CREDITORS In the Circuit Court of the State of Oregon for Jackson County In the Matter of the Estate of Frank Allen Reed.

Oregon the National Consumer Finance Association. i One Family in Six The 10,745 small loan offices around the nation, operated by 1.550 firms, claim one out of every six families for a customer and they look for a 12 to 14 per cent growth in volume next year. Is there danger in this rising installment credit spiral? Many economists believe it is doing no harm since nobody will continue to extend new credits if repayments do not come in on schedule. Why do we borrow? About one-third of the 16 mil lion loans made by small loan companies this year are for debt consolidation vhere the custom er borrows to pay off a flock of bills and is left with one debt. Medical and dental expenses ac count for 11 per cent of the small loans; 8 per cent goes for car purchases and upkeep. Clothing accounts for 6 per cent of the loans, as does travel and vaca tions. Many people borrow to buy things even though they have the cash. They feel they'll never save the money again once they touch their savings. So they take out a loan. Installment Credit Rises Installment credit also is ris ing because we're urged to use credit for just about everything. Undertakers now have plans for pre-paid funerals. They call it, "pay now, go later." j The small loan companies are growing right along with the use of credit. They now employ about 55,000 people and have an annual payroll of about $250 million. Our five largest consumer fi nance companies, Household, Beneficial, Seaboard, American Investment Co. and Family Fi nance, have a total capital fund of $402,706,510. Household Fi nance, the largest, had 2,261,000 loans last year totaling $901 mil lion. Despite some ads that say "low rates," small loan com panies usually charge low rates when compared to loan sharks.

Charles Champlia Chief of Police City of Medford as has been so frequently al leged of late, on its way out, ac cording to a panel of four Upper Applegate Grange members who discussed this topic during the lecture hour at a Grange meet ing Nov. 8. It was stated this size farm is more than holding its own in present day American agricul ture. Family farms which are being liquidated represent marginal-type operations that never were able to show adequate re turns even in eras of high prices for farm products, according to sister Ethel West, who cited ar ticles in recent issue of Capper's Weekly and The Farm Journal. Brother Edwin Ramsey was inclined to take a dimmer view of the future of the family farm due to the large cash outlay re quired for young people to make a start in this kind of venture. A minimum of $25,000, he esti mated would be necessary, for example, to purchase a family size dairy farm in addition to necessary operating capital. Brother Edward Finley ob served that under these condi tions, the best way to get a start would be to marry someone who owned a farm. Citing as his authority The Wall Street Journal, Brother William Nostrand voiced the opinion that supports for agri cultural products furnished by the government are of very little value to the small operator and, were they to be removed, fam ily farming would be benefited. Both brother Nostrand and brother Finley agreed that one small farmer exists today as an unorganized unit in a highly organized economy and that more voluntary cooperative or ganizations among such farmers would be of immense benefit in solving common problems and promoting markets for their products. All panel members concurred in condemning the current prac tice of many business and pro fessional people m higher in come brackets, who purchase farms with the deliberate intent of operating them at a loss for income tax deduction purposes. Such individuals may sell their products at a loss, but these same products enter into com petition with the crops of bona- fide farmers, depressing prices and adding to already burden some surpluses, it was pointed out More careful planning, better management, more efficient op eration, and a higher degree of organization among farm oper ators were listed by the panel members as keys to the survival and success of family-type farm ing. In summation, Sister West compared the findings of the panel to the definition of a hoop skirt she read recently: "Some thing which covers up a lot and touches on nothing." Agricultural Chairman James Corson presented the speakers and presided as moderator dur ing the discussion. This was fol lowed by a guessing contest in which all present were asked to identify samples of seeds and fertilizers commonly used in farm operations in this area. Worthy master Menno Bach- mann was awarded a flashlight as the prize for the best score. Appreciation was expressed by the agriculture committee to the Grange Cooperative Supply for providing the seed and fertilizer display used in the contest. Other program numbers in cluded a humorous skit by broth er Glenn and sister Gladys Wil liams, and a reading by the worthy master of a collection of "boners" compiled from letters of clients of a county welfare department somewhere in Cali fornia. In the regular business session which preceded the program, two candidates, Lloyd B. and Marie Louise Nordwick of Little Applegate were elected to mem bership in the order and will receive the first and second de grees by initiation at the next regular meeting, Nov. 22 Chaplain Kathleen Scovell, in ner relief committee report, stated sister Irene Culy, who has been quite ill with influenza and complications at ner nome in Jacksonville, is improving. In her absence, sister Ethel West served as secretary pro-tem. Legislative chairman Ann Scott reported on the Oct. meet ing of the Jackson County Plan ning committee which she at tended as representative of Up per Applegate Grange. Those present at the session, she stated, were agreed that a plannine or dinance is desirable for Jackson county but insisted the proposed ordinance is too stringent, in many respects, for use in rural areas. Agreement was reached with the committee that the ordi nance is to be revised. Tentative plans were approved for a public dance to be held in the Grange Hall on New Year's eve, provided suitable music can be secured. Possibility of a series winter months was also dis cussed and referred to the ways and means committee composed of brothers George Redhead, Morris Byrne, and sister Mamie Winningham. Grange insurance agent Edward Finley emphasized the necessity for members hold ing any type of Grange insur ance policy to notify the Grange Insurance association immediate ly regarding any change of address. Sister Edna Sawyer, Home Economics chairman, reminded members that the Home Eco nomics club is selling flavoring extracts as a means of securing funds to purchase pots and pans for the kitchen of the Grange hall. She also stated that the theme for the display table at the Nov. 22 meeting will be col ored glassware, antique and modern. The new Pomona Grange plan for a series of surprise visita tions to all subordinate Granges in Jackson county was announc ed and nine Upper Applegate Grange members signified their intention to participate in the first of these visitations. The meeting schedule for Up per Applegate Grange for the balance of the year was an nounced. They are: Nov. 22, election of officers and exempli fication of first and second de grees. Dec. 13, soil conserva tion program presented under auspices of sister Anna Scott's legislative committee, and spe cial Christmas numbers arranged by Grange lecturer Gladys Wil liams. Dec. 27, exemplification of the third and fourth degrees of the order by a special team ap pointed by the worthy master.

Today's column is written by director Anthony Mann, who cur rently is directing the most contro versial picture yet made in movie town "God's Little Acre." By ANTHONY MANN Written for United Press Hollywood (IP I'm current ly in the brickbat business. Risk ing injury by being belted by same, that is. Usually my major preoccupa tion is directing motion pictures. That's how I got into the pres ent position, by filming a novel called "God s Little Acre." Now this is no brand-new, hot-off-the-press book. Erskine Cald well wrote it 25 years ago. But the heat generated then doesn't show signs of cooling yet. Classic is a very large word, and the prime test is the contin ued popularity of a book. In a quarter century, sales of more than eight million copies of "God's Little Acre" in 14 lang uages have been recorded. What's that got to do with making a movie? Well, . assume that the eight million recorded purchasers of "God's Little Acre" read the book. Perhaps half of them had friends of book borrowing inti macy. And they've read the book. That makes 12 million arm chair critics. If you do their story damage, you can count on hearing from some of them. Maybe a million or two. And so I approached the cast ing of "God's Little Acre." First of all, I was completely aware of the impossibility of By VERNON SCOTT United Press Writer ever finding the appropriate ac tor for the leading role of Ty Ty Walden, a colorful old Georgia dreamer. My job is matching ac tors to parts, but this time it had to be done for me not once but twice. Robert Ryan came to me and asked for the role. Bob is clean cut, very talented and at least 10 years younger than shaggy Ty Ty should be. I told him not to call me, I'd be in touch. But before I had a chance not to keep my promise, Caldwell sent a suggestion for Ty Ty: Robert Ryan. With make-up we made up the superficial difference. Our "Darlihg Jill," Blonde Fay Spain, was discovered in television. "Grieselda" turned up on Broadway in the musical hit, "LiT Abner" namely, red- haired Tina Louise. Both are, as we say, new to the screen. And that's it. The motion pic ture version of "God's Little Acre" will be shown by United Artists next year, on the silver anniversary of the book.
