Newspaper Page TextI MEDFOKD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDI OKD. OREGON THURSDAY, OCTOBER 21, 196J 21 Businesses Per Thousand People Noted in County For its size, Jackson County supports more business enter prises than do most counties in the United States. This fact emerges from a new Government study, prepared by the Census Bureau in conjunc tion with the Department of Health, Education and Welfare. Jackson County, it is shown, has 21 businesses in operation small, medium and large for every 1,000 residents. The ratio is bigger than that found in most parts of the Unit ed States, where the average is 17 business establishments per 1,000 people. In the Pacific States it is 19 per 1,000. Contained In Report The findings are contained in a 15 - volume report, called "County Business Patterns, 1962." The figures in it were taken from tax reports submit ted by employers during t h e past year. They indicate the number of business and indus trial firms in each county, as , well as taxable payrolls, num ber of employees and other per tinent data. For Jackson County, they show a total of 1,608 non-farm businesses, each employing one or more people, in active opera tion last year. Of that number, 957 had up to three employes, 317 had from 4 to 7 on the payroll and 223 had from 8 to 19. While small - size establish ments constitute the bulk of the local business population, as is the case generally throughout the United States, there is no lack of larger firms. Approximately 93 per cent of the total have fewer than 20 employes each. Proportion Is Greater The proportion is greater than in most sections of the United States, where 90 per cent are in that category. In the State of Oregon there are, 91 per cent. The report shows that Jack son County's business establish ments provide jobs for 12,612 people in "covered" employ ment. This includes every work er who is covered under social security. The facts of life and death of business firms are to be seen in the figures. Every day, enterprises are being discon tinued and, every day, new ones spring into being. About 437,000 businesses are becun Der year in the United States, according to the Office of Business Economics, com pared to 398,000 that are dis continued for one reason or an other. East Continues In Drought Grip By United Press International An Indian summer drought burned deeper into the forests and fields ot tne Kast today. Water supplies in parts of New England sank to their lowest level in nearly 2a years. Fickle Hurricane Ginny shadow-boxed with Florida's cast coast. The storm, packing 75-mile-an-hour winds at its center, lumbered slowly toward the Daytona Beach area early today. More than an inch of rain fell in parts of Texas and Ok lahoma Wednesday night. Scat tered showers drifted off the Pacific across Oregon and Washington. Unseasonable heat in the North shattered several temper ature records Wednesday. Chi cago had a high of 85 degrees, toppling a 62-year mark. Other records included Cleveland, Ohio, 80; Moline, 111., 85; and Buffalo, N.Y., 73. Cheyenne, Wyo., set an all time record for late frost. There has been no frost yet this fall. Casper, Lander and Sheridan, Wyo., all without frost, have set new records for high tempera tures so late in the year. Ri verton, Wyo., which had a frost Oct. 16, had a record 114-day . growing season for crops. Crab Fishermen To Accept Changes PORTLAND (UPI) Oregon crab fishermen indicated Wednesday they are willing to ' accept changes in fishing laws to meet Alaskan competition. Industry spokesman and i n dividual fishermen told a hear ing called by the Oregon Fish Commission here that they would accept the commission's recommendation for a uniform Dec. 1 season opening. The opening date of the sea son now ranges from Dec. 1 south of Cascade Head to Jan. 1 in waters north of that point. The closing date would vary, but it would never be later than Aug. 15. C. Dale Snow, commission biologist, also recommended a regulation making it illegal to remove the backs from crabs on the boats. "Backing" makes It impossible for enforcement officers to determine whether the crab was of legal size. NO MONEY DOWN ON CREDIT AT WARDS-JUST SAY "CHARGE IT!" -E 3 '1 1 LL I tC!?
