Life Insurance Business Says Chart Lines Rise NEW YORK (UPD-The life in surance industry, moneyed giant with measurements growing year by year, has issued its review of 1962 business and found the chart lines still rising. Following a pattern of the past three decades, said the Fact Book issued by the Institute of Life In surance, the American public in creased its life insurance total to a new high in 1962. At the end of the year, life insurance in force stood at about $730 billion, with 134 million policy holders. The lion's share of this cover age, $676 billion, was with legal reserve life insurance companies. The rest was with fraternal or ganizations, savings banks, and the U.S. government veterans in surance programs. The coverage "it e -Fi f& WORLD'S FAIR PAVILION This is the artist's rend ering of the pavilion at the New York 1964-1965 World's Fair which will dramatize the nation's changing popula tion.

Between 1961 and 1062, said the Fact Book, purchases of ordinary insurance went up by about $2 billion. Group life purchases went down because 1961 had seen inaug uration of a $2 billion group plan for railroad employes which bal looned the totals for that year. In alii American families bought $79.4 billion worth of insurance in 1962, and more than two-thirds of this was ordinary insurance. Al most half the number of these new ordinary policies bought by adults went to persons with less than $3,000 annual income. About eight out of 10 policies went to persons with less than $7,300 in come. - ' Review L Wynne August 11, 1963 PACE J Wards Offers '500' Tires Nylon passenger tires that re cently passed a series of gruelling tests at the Indianapolis race track were received here today and will be offered to motorists through the month of August, ac cording to Bob Gotshan, local Montgomery Ward store mana ger. Pamela Jones, winner of the Indianapolis '500, test drnve Riv erside tires for 100 miles at straightway speeds up to 138.46 m.p.h. to prove their safety and stability for hot - weather high speed endurance driving on the nations turnpikes." Gotshall said Jones said: "If a motorist is looking for a sale tire for high speed driving, these tests should prove that Wards Riverside can take more punishment than mo torists will ever give them.' The Montgomery Ward store manager also pointed out that while normal passenger car driv ers never reach race track speeds. the fact that Riverside ST-107 nylon tires were tested under gruelling conditions by the coun try's foremost race car driver, proves that Riverside tires will withstand high-speed driving far excess of normal turnpike driving. "This makes them doubly safe under normal driving conditions," Gotshall said.

WC Features New Tickets Instant" tickets is West Coast Airlines' latest innovation toward making it easier and quicker for ustomers to do business with us, Bob Moore, the line's local manager, said in announcing this modern-day write-your--own tick et. Moore said that passengers with Instant ticket books can avoid special trips to pick up their tick ets in advance and reduce the time required checking in for their flights. Instant tickets are available to all West Coast customers. They come in a handy portfolio similar to a bank checkbook. There is no service charge or deposit and the passenger is invoiced once month ly after the ticket has been used. This is all part of the new look at West Coast Airlines and is a companion to such programs as reduced clergy and military rates and the Seattle-Portland-Spokane commuter service. Tips On Money Saving Given To Home Buyers The lamily that can save enough to make a substantial down payment on their new home gams in two ways they reduce the overall cost of the home, and a portion of their paycheck committed for a shorter time. About $2.4 billion on mortgage debt were outstanding in Oregon last year with the average length of home mortgages running about 20 years. Mrs. Alberta Johnston, Oregon State University extension special ist, says typical length of home mortgages is considerably longer today. In 1940. 20 years was the maximum length. . Today, three out of four new mortgages are for 30 years and some even Jor 35 years. (The Housing Act of 1961 permits the Federal Housing Administration to insure 35-year mortgages on new homes. I Telephone Firm Gets Franchise SALEM (UPD-Eastcrn Oregon1 Telephone Co., Pilot Rock, has been granted exclusive service rights in Morrow and Umatilla counties. Public Utility Commissioner Joncl C.

FORREST ALTER Alter Heads Circulation Department Forrest Alter, long-time Her ald and News employe, has been appointed circulation manager effective Aug. 1. Alter first joined the Herald and News in 1937 when lie be came a carrier while still in high school. He was mustered into Army service in 1940 with the National Guard and commissioned in ordi nance department in 1942. During his service he was over seas with the Air Force and was assigned as ordinance officer in the central and South American area as a first lieutenant. Following service, Allcr re turned to the Herald and News where he held the post of as sistant circulation manager. A native of Salem, Alter is a graduate of KUlfS. He resides ill Merrill with lusl wife, Mcridee. and (our children, David, 19. a Merrill High grad uate; Dale, 17, Robin, 13, and Peggy 10. Alter replaces Gene Carpenter who has accepted a circulation post at Flagstaff, Ariz. Just how much a lamily is able to save on short-term mort- eases is offered in this exam. pie from OSU's family finance specialist. A family would pay $17,823 in terest on a $15,000 loan for 33 years at 5,'i per cent interest, compared to $9,264 on the same size loan at the same rate for 20 years. By taking advantage ol the short-term loan, a family could save more than $8,500. Families are reminded that the purchase of a home repre sents the biggest single invest ment they'll ever make. They need to consider the advantages of using long-term mortgages in relation to the additional costs to the family. Equity in the home builds up much more slowly with a long-term loan, says Mrs. John ston. Families that agree to a long term mortgage will want to be sure that the contract permits early repayment if the family finds that this is possible, so they can take advantage of t h e savings of a -short-term loan, Long-term mortgages enable lower income families to become home owners. With specified amounts for monthly payments for housing, they permit a family lo buy a more expensive house. Long-term mortgages may make it easier to sell the house, be cause prospective buyers may be attracted if they can assume a long-term mortgage and make only a small cash settlement. With rather general increase in prices of houses since the early 1940s, most home owners have experienced a rise in the value of their homes rather than a decrease by depreciation, says Mrs. Johnston. But during the past year, real estate prices are reported to have stabilized in many areas. If they continue lo level off or decline, some owners with long term mortgages may find they cannot sell their homes for enough to pay their remaining debt. In 1941, there was outstanding mortgage debt in the U.S. of less than one-half billion dollars. In the last eight years, it has risen from $145 billion to $250.5 billion. Pavilion To Show USA.

The same magazines had a 4 per cent gain in total gross advertising1 revenue $464,432,866 against $446,- 60o.948 last year. The gains were partly due tol the healthy state ol the economy and a renewed interest of many advertisers in print media. But. according to The Gallagher Re port, the healthy stale of t h e magazine business is due chiefly to the ellorts of individual maga zines and the entire magazine in dustry to update the magazine media package. Magazines are ottering advertisers better dis counts, more flcxibiliiy, improved service. They are producing high or quality circulation and pro moling it with researched demo graphic dala. There is increased editorial vitality. And the Maga zine Publishers Association is successfully promoting the spe cific advantages of magazines as a unique advertising medium. i no uanagner Keport also points out a strong trend among the top magazines over the last five years. Special-interest nub hcations are prospering, while the mass weeklies are suffering serious setbacks.

Safety Effort Pushed State efforts to increase the number of Oregon cities with community safety organizatioas will be stepped-up immediately. Gov. Mark Hatfield has an nounced. The governor said he has re quested the staff of the Oregon Traffic Safety Commission to un dertake the organization program in Oregon cities which do not now have a local safety organization.
