1.3 Years Has Been
Added to Expectancy
Of Resident's Life
Dennis the Menace
For the average Jackson
county resident, what are the
odds, currently, in favor of
his living on to a ripe old
age?
To what extent have mod
ern medicine, better nutrition
and improved living stand
ards added to his span of life?
A new report by the U. S.
Public Health Service and
statistics from insurance com
panies show that life expec
tancy is on the rise locally
and in most other parts of the
country.
The average baby born to
day will live to age 70.2 years,
even if there were to be no
further progress in medical
science during his lifetime.
Two Years Longer
That is 2.0 years longer
than his expectancy would
have been, had he been born
a mere 10 years ago.
Those who are 25 years old
at present will live to age
73.1, on the average, an in
crease of 1.4 years, and those
who are 40, to age 74.1 which
is 1.2 years more than be
fore. The size of the bonus, in
the form of added years of
life, is different at differeni
age levels.
In Jackson county, accord
ing to the latest Census fig
ures, the median age of the
population is 3 1.8 years,
which is somewhat higher
than the mean age national
ly, 29.5 years.
Local Age Level
At the local age level, the
figures show, the dividend is
1.3 years of added expectancy
per person. The increase is
greater than that for people
who are below the median
age and somewhat smaller
for those who are above it.
The average dividend, ap
plied to the entire population
of Jackson county, adds up
to a total of 96.151 years of
extended life for the commu
nity as a whole.
Compared with other de
cades, the recent achieve
ments in this direction have
been relatively small. In the
1940-1950 period, the gain in
life expectancy was twice as
great and, in the decade be
fore that, still greater.
These earner accomplish
ments, it is explained, reflect
the dramatic strides that
were made in controlling the
infectious diseases.
Further advances in lon
gevity will depend on the suc
cess of efforts to cope with
the chronic diseases. A vast
amount of research is being
centered in that direction.

'Unit May Be Named
For Charles McNary
Sen. Wayne Morse of Ore
gon has asked Interior Secre
tary Stewart L. Udall to
designate one of the O and C
managament units as the Sen.
Charles McNary forest.
Morse made the suggestion
in connection with commem
oration of the 25th anniver
sary of the O and C Sustained
Yield act. He pointed out that
the late Senator McNary of
Oregon was instrumental in
securing the passage of that
law, and that he left his im
print on other legislation re
lating to reforestation, fire
protection, forest manage
ment, and sutained yield.
"I know that this action on
your part." he wrote Udall,
"would serve as an inspira
tion throughout the years to
those who benefit from Char
les McNary's devotion to wise
forest use and would create
a safeguard for the principles
for which he stood."
Boise - The Grand canyon
of the Snake river in Idaho is
the deepest of any known on

Life insurance is known as an in
tangible. Yet people with vision
can clearly see its benefits. They
recognize them in the protracted
standard of living of those families
who have surrendered their chief
provider. Today's provider is to
morrow's protector with a sound,
reliable life insurance program.
Let's plan it together.
