PAGE EIGHT HERALD AND NEWS, Klamath Falls, Ore. Monday, Feb. 29, 1960 FRANK JENKINS Editor 5 BILL JENKINS Managing Editor FLOYD WYNNE City Editor MAURICE MILLER Circulation Mgr Ph. TU 4-4752 Looking Ahead By FLORENCE JENKINS Personal income In Oregon for the year 1059 was just over $3.8 billion. That was a gain of 7.8 per cent over the 1958 personal income figure for the state. The national average state gain for the year was 6.6 per cent over the previous year. Walter W. R. May. in last week's Oregon Voter, quotes Busi ness Week's figures from the U.S. Bureau of Census which estimates that Oregon's personal income in 1960 will be nearly $4.7 billion or a gain of approximately 5 per cent. The forecast is for a gain nf s.4 ncr cent nationally. At the same time, the National Association of Manufacturers re .jinric on the occupational trends Tof-orug has commenced this Oar. NAM expects the number of white collar jobs to increase by - 33 per cent in the coming 10 years up from 276,300 in 1960 to 366.700 by IJ70. Jobs lor manual workers, in eluding craftsmen, foremen, oper ators and laborers are expected to jump 16 per cent, from 261,400 to 303,000. Service workers, including cooks, firemen, policemen and barbers, are expected to increase 23 per cent, from 71.800 to 88.000. According to NAM, white collar workers accounted for 34 per cent of the state's labor force in 1940 alwtJ5ul97ow.vwSount per cent. O This, coupled with an increase In the number of skilled craftsmen in the manual workers class, plus a decrease in the so-called labor ers, reflects the continued devel epment of the "age of trained technicians and highly-skillecMpe- cialists operating new and some times fantastic machinery," the report states. More skilled workers and pro fessional men and women must be trained in this decade, then, be- causoJJiere are going to be few er jftS for the untrained laborer, if the National Association ot Man- ufacturers knows what it is talk ing about, Ilond OiH'sdoii Klamath Falls Cl.he Editor) I am writing this to you because I have read orQof yoiir ed itorials that the rcQw California has such poor roads is beciasc the people are allowing their clott ed officials to divert their road funds into other channels. I should have written to you then because the same thing may be haiQning right here in your own back yard the South Suburban area. Wo don't expect to have some thing done for nothing, but we do feel we have a right not only as taxpayers (local, slate and federal ) but as citizens to know what, where, why and how our tax dol lars arc being spent and why the heavily populated area in the south suburbs has always been bypassed in so far as road funds con cerned. We would also like to know whether we are the ones who don't understand or are our elected of ficials getting away with a lot of double talk and Just pass the buck from one election to the next. And also whether or not our tax dollar is supposed to do more than just provide our elected officials wilh red tape and bales- of siring. Wo didn't intend to make this an election issue, -but we are just t about forced tb do so. x There arc various road funds and will be more available and your South Suburban road problem is a county problem and speak lo your new county court about it. This was an ansWcr we received to our question from a state road official at a cotfee hour given for vnQous candmates before our last general election. This was the answer we re ceived from the new . old county court officials: "There is enough money available to put these roads V 'South Suburban roadsl in first class condition with little or no money from the properly owners, but our hands are tied byhe stale department." This year we were told that re gardless of how many letters or petitions were sent to members ol our slate department, it wouldn't do much good until after the election because the new Legisla ture doesn't meet until January and it also depends on what bills they want to bring up. Isn't it about time that this law, if there Is such a law, be brought out In black and while for the people to be able to vote for it or against it? If lor no other reason, it should he brought up as an emergency ifjue, not only because of the strategic position the jet air base Ijas put us in, but in case of any oilier emergency evacuation.

Was it a tax levyror the improvement of roads, a percent age of which was to remain in areas in which it was collected, or was it meant to be or the improvement of what the county called county roads only.

Mrs.'A. J. Frci 320iOcrcst liny liny AH il uric By SAM DSON Q NEW YORK (AP) American families are spending whatever additional moiQ they may come by today. The rate of their sav ings i changing little. AnMt is this buy-and-buy at titudc without either a rush to unusual spending avtn some pre vious years or a tendency to hoard as in others that make economists confident that the qualms of a month ago were overdone. These qualms were born of the break in stock prices 'iid the signs that the big boom that some had looked for was unlikely lo get going. Instead the 'lief is growing that a calmer but steady idvance in business activity will last for some time and that the shake out in (lie stock market has made it a more realistic affair. The extra income that many families are getting may com? from a rise in wage scales or from longer work weeks. It may SHORT MS ' o '' 1 r come from higher dividend or interest payments. It may come fromihigher fees received by those in the service trades and profes sions. Or it may come from in creased benefit payments either from the government or such pri vate institutions as insurance Luompanies. Hut uic lamiues arc putting away In savings about 7 per cent of theirincomcs, just as they have been for some time, Most of the new money after taxes slips right through their fingers. It goes for higher priced goods and services, for increased recreation, for longer vacation trips, for expensive hobbies. This steady spending is keep ing most ot the American econ Aomy humming. It offsets such bob- ovcroptimistic and led to produc tion beyond demand that didn't soar as expend. The ca!mcr"iace may stretch the good times through the entire year, with only the normal sum mer letdown. But the consumers are selective in their buying. They:n't buy ing anything and verything as they tended to dS-'m 1955, en couraged by unusually easy in stalment payment terms then. Thcyire watching prices close ly.
