SEAT BELT "CLINIC" - Members of the
Medford Jaycees couldn't install seat belts
last enough at Mcdtord shopping center
yesterday morning as hundreds of auto
mobile owners were on hand early to take
advantage of the bargain rate for the life
saving belts. The Jaycees are offering the
seat bells plus installation for $5 per unit.
The picture above shows the production
line, located on the north side of the Shop
ping Center. The clinic will be open all
day today, according to Jaycee President
Richard Frey.
53 Per Cent of Local
Families Make $4,000
Annually After Taxes
Medford has more families
with incomes over $4,000, pio
portionately, than have most
communities in the stale of
Oregon. Also, it is found, the
proportion with low incomes
is below average locally.
It appears that the general
movement has been upward
for some time. The result has
been that many local families
have graduated from their
former income brackets and
have moved a step higher.
The details are brought out
In a nationwide study of in
come groupings, prepared and
copyrighted by Sales Manage
ment. It shows, for each lo
cality, how much of its pop
ulation falls within each
bracket.
The breakdown gives a bet
ter understanding of the qual
ity of a market than docs the
term "average income." It re
veals whether a high income
area is so because of a concen
tration of wealth at the ex
treme end of the income scale
or whether it is due to rela
tively Rood incomes across
the board.
In Medford, the general lev
el is high and the spread is
good. Some 53.0 per cent of
the local households, it is
shown, had cash incomes, aft
er taxes, ol $4,000 or more in
1961.
This compares favorably
with the ratio in the rest of
the state of Oregon, where
MEDFORD
I SHEMD
only 49.5 per cent of the
households were in the plus
$4,000 brackets.
Have the gains been real
ones or imaginary ones, wa
tered down in their effect by
inflation and by increases in
the cost of living?
Government reports show
that such offsets have been
small in the last few years.
Most of the added income
has become available for
spending.
The SM study lists 14.2 per
cent of Mcdford's households
in the $7,000 to $10,000 brack
et. They received 19 4 per
cent of ail local income. -
Those with cash earnings of
$2,500 to $4,000, after taxes,
comprised 24.5 per cent of
the households They account
ed for 1.1.1 per cent of the in
come. The 53.0 per cent with
earnings over $4,000 collect
ed 81.3 per cent of the total.

Solons Clash on
Timber Question
Washington -IIIPII- Sen. Mau
rine B. Neuberger (D-Ore.)
clashed in the Senate Friday
with Sen. Karl Mundl (R-S.D.)
over the South Dakolan's de
mand for restrictions on lum
ber imports from Canada.
"There are other ways to
negotiate with Canada other
than putting quotas on Cana
dian lumber," Mrs. Neuberger
said after Mundl had com
plained of the impact of Ca
nadian lumber exports on the
lumber industry in his slate.
I The Oregon Democrat said
she felt American industry,
including the hard - pressed
lumber industry, could com
pete without resort of strict
tariff measures.
Mrs. Neuberger said modi
fication of the Jones Acl,
which limits cargo shipments
between U. S. ports to Ameri
can ships, would do more than
anything else to help the lum
ber industry compete with
Canada. She has introduced
legislation to allow U. S. lum
ber producers to ship aboard
lower-cost foreign vessels in
an effort to meet Canadian
competition on U. S. east coast
markets.

Nkrumah Orders
Emergency State
After Explosions
Accra. Ghana -lUPh- Presi
dent Kwame Nkrumah pro
claimed a state ot emergency
in the Accra area Saturday
because of "recent bomb ex
plosions," at least one of
which was an attempt to as
sassinate him.
"In view of the recent bomb
explosions in the country, re
sulting in the death of or in
juries to several citizens . . .
The President has proclaimed
a state of emergency in Accra
with effect from today," the
government statement said.
The proclamation forbids
all public meetings' and pro
cessions and authorizes house
searches "in the public inter
est." Controls were clamped on
movement here at dawn. Cars
and pedestrians were stopped
and searched.
Three persons died in hos
pitals Friday as a result of
homb blasts Thursday, the
Ghana news agency reported
Saturday. Police and hospital
officials said about 100 per
sons were injured in the two
explosions.
The' news agency added that
"several hundreds" of police
from across the country were
drafted into service at Accra
where they were searching
houses for arms Saturday
morning.
The explosions in the capi
tal came during celebrations
of the eve of Nkrumah's 53rd
birthday. Less than two weeks
ago a bomb was hurled at the
gates of Nkrumah's official
residence, killing a girl.
Four Die in Light
Airplane Crash
Burlingame, Kan. - IIIPH -Four
members of a New
Mexico butane firm were
killed Friday when a light
plane crashed in a pasture
near this eastern Kansas
town. One wing was found
one-half mile from the main
wreckage.
The pilot, Bluitt Cotton.
Mr. and Mrs. Jerry Stolz and
Curtis E. Maroney were
killed. Stolz formerly was ed
itor of the Lovinglon Daily
Leader. All were residents of
Lovington but had recently
moved the business to Albu
querque. Cotton's body, still strap
ped to a scat, was thrown
from the wreckage and start-'
ed burning.
The Federal Aviation
Agency said they had taken
off from Amarillo and plan
ned a landing at Kansas City
on a flight from Albuquerque
to Chicago and Detroit.
Legislator Irked
By Large Sign at
State Fairgrounds
Salem -IIIPH- A Democratic
state legislator complained
Friday that an official Oregon
Slate Fair sign at the state
fairgrounds promoted the can
didacy of Republican Gov.
Mark Hatfield, who seeks re
election in November.
State fair officials immedi
ately denied this.
Rep. Thomas McClellan (D
Neotsu) referred to a large
sign at the entrance to the
fairgrounds here bearing the
names of Hatfield, and those
of Oregon Fair commissioners.
Over this appears the word
ing: "Your Slate Fair is not
supported by tax money."
In a letter to the Salem
Capital Journal, McClellan
said. "I am not neccsarily ob
jecting to the use of public
funds to promote personal po
litical fortunes provided all
candidates are given uniform
treatment."
Political Purposes
Howard Maple, State Fair
manager, said the sign has
been up for three years. He
added that "We've never giv
en any thought to anything
political connected with that
sign. It in no way was used
for political purposes."
Maple said, however, that
in view of the criticism the
sign section about non-tax sup
port of the fair was being
taken down.
McClellan complained also
that since the Democrats came
to power in the legislature
several years ago, lawmakers
no longer get free admision
tickets to the fair.
"When the Democratic par
ty became the majority party
this practice was discontin
ued," McClellan said.
Maple said the State Fair
commission stopped giving out
the tickets because many leg
islators felt it "wasn't neces
sary." Partisanship had noth
ing to do with it, he added.
Three Teenagers
Sought by Police
Corvallis -WW- Three teen
agers, believed to be two boys
and a girl, were sought by
state police and the Benton
county sheriffs Saturday as
suspects in the theft of two
cars and a burglary.
The George Scheele home
near Blodgctt was entered Fri
day and rilles and a quantity
of ammunition were taken.
Police said the loot was re
moved in a station wagon
stolen at Salem.
The car was located Friday
night abandoned at the upper
end of Woods Creek rd. on
Mark's Peak.
Officers responding to a'call
from Fred Kiger of Blodgetl
were told a meal had been
cooked and eaten and the en
tire house apparently ran
sacked while he was at work.
Kiger said that when he
returned home he heard his
car being driven away and
rushed out to yell at the occu
pants. He said one of them
thrust a bolt action rifle out
of the car window and he
heard a snap as the trigger
was pulled, but the gun failed
to fire.
Wiring of a pickup truck
at Kigcr's place had been
pulled loose, he found, when
he attempted to use it to fol
low the trio.
