(Whitland Locke Photo) ROGUE CAMERA 613 East Main Phone SP 3-5345 Increase in Savings Reported New York-An upsurge in savings has been noted in Jackson county. Residents have been put ting an unusually large pro portion of their available cash into bank deposits and into other forms of savings In the last two years. The upsurge is noted in fig ures released by the Federal Reserve system In lis bien nial report. It lists amounts on deposits in Jackson coun ty, as well as in every other county in the United States, as of June 15, 1960, approxi mately the beginning of the current fiscal year. The combined eteposils in Jackson county's savings and commercial banks came to $64,347,300. Included in Total Included in this total were time deposits (savings ac- these features..

The savings portion of it amounted to $22,846,300, ac cording to the Federal Re serve report. That compares with a savings volume of $21, 283,000 in Jackson county banks when the previous sur vey was made, two years be fore. It represents a growtli In bank savings in the county of 7.3 per cent in the period. Rise is Greater The rise in the Mcdfurd area was greater than in most parts of the Pacific states, where it. averaged 5.8 per cent. In the stale of Oregon it was 6 per cent. The commerce department estimates that Americans were setting aside in some form of savings about 8.2 cents out of every dollar of after-tax income they receiv ed during the third quarter of 1960. That was the highest rate of saving since the 1958 recession, it says. What is the effect on the economy of this cautious atti tude on the part of consum ers? The analysts see both good and bad in it. Reducing Debts They point out that the people who are stashing away money in the bank are also engaged in reducing their out standing debt. They will be in a better position, as a result, to buy that new car or that new refrigerator when the re cession ends. However, at (he present time, their cautious spending is cutting into re tall volume. On the plus side is the fact that the more money that Is put away in banks, savings and loan associations and oth er financial institutions the more there will be available for mortgages and for other capital investments needed for business growth. Seminar Set lor Organized Labor Klamath Falls - A seminar for organized labor on the sub ject of the Labor-Management Reporting and Disclosure Act of 1959 the Landrum-Griffin law-will be held March 8 on the Oregon Technical Insti tute campus here. Winston D. Purvine, direc tor of Oregon Technical Insti tute, said labor groups have indicated they will assist with arrangements in cosponsoring the seminar. The seminar will be con ducted by two U. S. depart- Ashland - The Ashland Chamber of Commerce has gone on record as supporting many proposed projects in and around the city. It is supporting possible de velopment of a boating re gatta on Emigrant lake; de velopment of a Mt. Ashland ski resort, and is urging de velopment of picnic areas in the vicinity. The chamber is also sup porting development of the Ashland aifport into what President Archie Fries Jr., I terms "a first class small plane ' port." j Originally the chamber in- j vestigated possible develop ment of the present airport into an installation that could accommodate large passenger planes. However, Fries said the federal aeronautics admin istration advised against such a Dlan because of comnlica- tions presented by mountain- ous terrain on one side of the city. FAA Recommendation Fries then said the FAA had recommended extending the present runway an addi tional 500 feet for develop ment into a first class small airport. The runway would be widened an additional 50 feet, he said. Fries' report was presented in January, Since that time, the chamber airport commit tee has been busily investi gating what can be done with the present facility. It is owned by Sumner Par ker. He has an agreement with the city whereby they pro vide a limited amount of maintenance of the runway. On occasion, gravel is hauled in. . . Parker operates the airport. He lives about three minutes away on a farm.- He has been flying since 1927, and likes to tell of taking flying lessons in 1927 from Tex Rankin, world champion stunt flier of many years ago. Parker bought his first plane in 1929, and flew it off of a hay field, now the Ashland airport. Hangar Constructed He had a hangar construct ed a short distance, from his house. In 1951 the present runway was installed by Par ker. Crushed rock had been donated earlier by Earl Lin ingcr. - There are four hangars at the airport currently. Parker owns two and private individ uals owh the other twoi The runway is 2,670 feet long, and 50 feet wide. ; Parker is enthusiastic about- developing the airport. The one stumbling Slock .to run way expansion is land. It will be virtually impossible to ex tend the south end. Dead In dian rd. is a few feet from the end of the runway. Par ker doesn't own land on the north end. Used as Home Base Parker says there are 11 or 12 planes presently using the airport as a home base. He points out that this number could increase if facilities were improved. He also is op timistic about the use the air port would receive during times that the Medford air port is fogged in. People com ing to the Shakespearean fes tival also might use the air port, he says. Ashland is in the center of present and potential recrea tion areas. Emigrant lake res ervoir is a short distance away ' and Mt. Ashland will be close j if a ski resort is developed j there. Response Fantastic j This is what has attracted j the chamber of commerce's interest. Whitland Locke, chairman of the chamber air port committee, says response to the idea of developing the airport has been fantastic. The Oregon Pilots association has endorsed the plan, accord ing to Locke. He says the state board of aeronautics has offered to help In any way possible. Locke has visions of a combi-1 nation airport and motor ho-' tel being constructed near the site. He says the new Highway 99 freeway may be near the airport. The chamber is hopeful the , airport can be developed. Sumner Parker is hopeful it can be developed. Whether or not it will remains to be seen. ment of labor officials from Seattle, who will discuss var ious features of the act, with emphasis on requirements for ; annual financial reports inas much as those reports are due before the end of March from unions whose fiscal years ended Dec. 31.
