Automobile buying has risen in the county, with local resi dents replacing their older-vintage cars with newer models. Also, in step with the current trend, many families have be come two-car owners for the first time. The number of autos around, as a result, is at a high level. There are enough of them avail able now for every man, wo man and child in the local area to be car-borne at one time. In fact, the entire local population could be carried in just the front seats alone. Ratio of Cars According to a recent broad survey on the distribution of cars throughout the nation, it was found that the ratio, in Jackson County, reached 14S cars per 100 families as of the beginning of this year. It was a bigger ratio than was reported for most parts of the United States, 118 cars per 100 families. It was 134 per 100 in the State of Oregon. The figures are contained in a market study covering every part of the ration, conducted by the Standard Rate and Data Service. Rise In Living Standard The growth in car ownership reflects the rise in living stand ards. As families move upward on the income scale, as has been the case locally, their ability to buy cars improves in direct proportion. The figures for the number of passenger cars in Jackson County as of January, 1063, rep resent the net amount in use after deducting those retired for old age. Such activity is important to the local economy as a whole. When car sales are high, other businesses benefit as well. Em ployment, pay checks and prof its in dozens of allied fields get a lift from it. Credit for Boom Much of the credit for the re cent boom in automobiles in the United Stales is given to the trend toward multiple car ownership. At present, accord ing to the market researchers, there are 11,300,000 families who own more than one car. That is nearly fnurlimos as many as there were 10 years ago. How much traveling is being done in all these cars? The av erage driver goes about 9,500 miles a year, the figures show. JacKson Countv drivers, on that basis, cover more than 340 million miles annually. Reading Is Best Vocational Tool PORTLAND (UPI) -Thomas D. Bailey, Florida slate super intendent of schools, said Tues day that the best possible "vo cational educalion" for today's youngsters was the ability to read.
