CONSUMERS IN BUYING MOOD. New cars, houses and household goods should sell briskly in
the next half year, indicates the University of Michigan Survey Research Center. The latest quar
terly survey, conducted in August and early September, found a "moderately high level of consum
er optimism." Analysis of peoples' attitudes about their personal financial situation shows the vast
majority consider themselves at least as well off as they were a year ago. As for business ex
pectations, 637c of all families expect good times for 12 months, up from 60 in -May and 56o
a year earlier. Intentions to buy a new car in the next year rose to 9.4 of the families, against
9.1 a year ago, while the percentage of prospective used car purchase was off by one family
unit. The survey noted that the lower income groups now intend to buy new cars, whereas a year
ago it was families with $7,500 income and over who made up the bulk of the new car purchasers.
Plans to buy new houses continue at the high level of the past year. But fewer people than a year
ago are planning to make repairs or additions tj their homes. The survey noted good business in
refrigerators and kitchen ranges.

Fiscal Responsibility Demands
Review of Entire Gold Situation
"Fiscal responsibility demands
that the U.S. government review
the whole gold situation imme
diately," a speaker warned the
Medford Chamber of Commerce
Roundtable Monday.
Norman L. Easley, a retired
Portland lawyer and part owner
of a gold mine, told the group
that the government is "finally
admitting a crisis.
"We're broke," Easley stated.
"We have about $20 billion in
foreign debts on call, and we
only have $16 billion in gold
left."
The speaker said that "for
eign central bankers are watch
ing conditions in this country
and they "may make a call for
gold at any time."
Historically, he said, gold has
served man's purpose as a mon
etaary metal, and has been uni
versally accepted.
Gold Equals Power
Further than that, "gold
equals power," he said. "Who
ever or whatever controls gold
in this world, also controls pow
er." To illustrate his point, (he
speaker said that General Eis
enhower had signed an order
during World War II requiring
American fliers in north Africa
to carry gold coins instead of
currency to enable them to buy
their rescue in case they were
shot down.

footr ai.i. nni.l.S FOR FOOTBALL GUYS. Weisfield's Jewelers has prepared a clever and
unique football presentation to honor football team members of most Rogue Valley schools.
Larry Love, manager of the Medford Weisfield store is shown in the picture above, presenting
football dolls to Fred Spiegelberg, head coach, and Jeff Hardrath, team captain of the Medford
High School team.
Weisfield's has prepared these football dolls for all varsity football team members from Med
ford, St. Marys, Phoenix, Ashland, Crater and Eagle Point high schools; and Southern Oregon Col
lege. Each doll is painted with the appropriate School colors and is complete with the name and
number of each player.
Any varsity team player may pick up his doll by simply stopping by the Weisfield's store in
the Medford Shopping Center and asking for it.
"The employees and management of the Medford Weisfield store want to contribute something
to the outstanding students now participating in football for Rogue Valley schools and their coach
ing staffs," Love stated, "so we are giving these dolls away free as a token of our appreciation."
BUD'S TIRE EXCHANGE HAS NEW SNOW
TIRE. High in the Colorado Rockies, engineers
conducted traction tests last winter, shown at left,
on a new mud and snow tire. This new winter
tire has just been announced here by Willie Was
sum, manager of Bud's Tire Exchange, 1609 North
Riverside avenue in Medlord. "The new Gates
Commando XT," he says, "uses a 'cog railroad'
traction principle much like that of the famous
train that runs to the top of Pikes Peak. The tire
worked so well in these tests that The Gates Run
bcr Company has applied for basic patent rights
on the entire traction principle. The tread features
a series of offset wedge-shaped blocks that lire
engineers say will give far more traction that
ordinary diagonal snow treads."
The Gates Commando XT is available in popu
lar passenger car and light truck sites.
NEW CAR SALES SOAR. Car sales in the last
third of September jumped almost 36 to 176,151
cars from 129.669 in 1962's September 21-30 period,
reports The Wall Street Journal. Both periods had
eight selling days. Industry sales for the whole
month were 390.801 cars, up 9.8 from Septem
ber, last year. The major car makers are esti
mated to have sold 7.217.000 cars in the 1963
model year, up 12.2 from the 6,450,000 sold in
the 1962 model year. For purposes of such an es
timate, the model year was established as running
from October 1 of one year to September 30 of
the next. Model years vary according to the
make, but most 1963 model cars, however, were
sold between October 1 of last year and Septem
ber 30 of this year. The 1965 model year sales to
tal would be the largest for any model year since
1935, when an estimated 7,346.000 cars were sold.

It was voted to invite differ

to use the Grange hall for a
teachers party.
He said that gold has been
purchased in Vancouver. Cana
da, and shipped to Formosa for
use there by Chinese to buy
their relatives' freedom out of
Red China.
Totalitarian powers, he said.
forbid their citizens to own gold.
I'ersons tound possessing gold
in Red China are shot, he said,
and prison sentences are meted
to those in Russia.
Transfer Power
In this country, gold has been
taken from the people because
the government wanted to
"transfer power from the peo
ple to the federal government."
This was done in accordance
with the keynesian theory that
by controlling gold, the govern
ment could manipulate power
and avoid such occurrences as
the depression of the 1930s. The
theory holds, too, he said, that
"there is no place for gold in an
economy except in balance of
loreign trade.
The result of federal govern
ment action, Easley said, is that
the gold industry has been "de
stroyed by saddling gold with
a 1934 price.
International Fund
He said as a result of the Bre
ton Woods Agreement (1944) ihe
world powers established the
International Monetary Fund
for the purpose of "stabilizing
currency by using gold at $35 an
ounce as a yardstick.
Easely cited the agreement
with its fixed price as one of
the major contributing factors
in the current gold dilemma.
He said that people in the
U.S. government are "very up
set about the situation and are
trying to get Ihe trade balance
back in shape."
But rather than thnt, Easley
suggested thnt the United States
should "get its gold mines back
into shape."
We haven t even scratched
the mother lode in this coun
try," he said, "and this is par
ticularly true in Oregon."
He said it would take about
five years to get the gold mines
in operation again, but he sug
gested with a government sub
sidy it could and should be
done.
Not Enough Gold
"There is not even enough
gold being produced right now
in this country to take care of
our industrial demands," he
said.
Further, Easley urged that
the U.S. "could harvest the gold
that is already in existence-
buried in back yards or hidden
away in cookie lars.
He said the individual could
help himself by "owning a lit
tle gold," perhaps in Toronto
or in London.
He said it ias been estimated
that if a person had 10 per cent
of his wealth in gold, he could
make up his original investment
with it when the financial crisis
comes.
Another way might be tu
"hedge your bet by ownin?
property in other countries," he
said.
NEW YORK (UPI)-It may
come as a surprise to some citv
dwellers, who can't see the
leaves for the buildings, but this
nation continues to grow a
healthy crop of trees.
And at the same time, ac
cording to an overseas source,
the supply of timber in Europe
is shrinking and thereby creat
ing an export market for the
United States, a market in
which some firms now are ac
tively engaged.
The American Forest Products
Industries, Inc., a trade group,
recently reported on the results
of a nationwide public opinion
survey made for the industry by
upinion nesearcn Lorp. it show
ed that 56 per cent of the per
sons sampled did not realize
that the forests of the nation
are growing wood (aster than It
is being used or lost to blight,
insects or fire.
The report on the survey said
the forest products industry
w a s a "major challenge in
convincing people that the na
tion s forest resources are not
being depleted: that manaecd
forests keep right on yielding
umoer crops, just as well-man
aged cornfields keep right on
growing corn.
Big Home Market
Whatever Europe's developing
needs may De, there still Is
big market at home for the
products of the woodlands. The
annual per capita consumption
of paper alone Is 457 pounds a
year, up 64 pounds In the last
10 years.
lo meet the demand for this
and other wood products, the
industry is rated the fourth larg
est industrial complex in the na
tion.
It employes more than 1.5 mil
lion workers with an annual
payroll of nearly $6 billion, the
AFPI says. It turns out goods
worth $23 billion from 32,000
sawmills, 360 paper mills, 800
paper-paperboard mills and 300
plywood and veneer mills.
Around the use of the forests,
and the streams and lakes which
wooded lands protect, have
grown millions of dollars worth
of other enterprises, boating,
and other outdoor recreational
opportunities.
Demand Can Be Met
In the survey, the AFPI found
that about half of the persons
questioned Delieved the industry
can meet continued demand for
wood, although the population is
expected to have increased by
40 million persons by 1975.

SI IGHT DECLINE EXPECTED IN HOl'SIN G STARTS. The pace of housing construction will
show' a modest decline next year, predicts the National Association of Home Builders, reports The
Wall Street Journal. The Association forecasts starts of private nnnfarm units at 1.500.000 in 1951,
about 2o less than the 1.530.000 the trade group expects for all 1903. The group's economists pro
tected the pace of sinele-familv homes next year at 975.000 units, the same as this year's, but they
nut starts of miiltifamilv units at 523.000, down from 555.000 estimaid for this year. Private non
farm starts totaled 1.139.100 in 1962. well above the 1.281.800 of 1901, according to the association.
