The survey gives the first 10 states in their order as: Wash- ington, $].451: Connecticut,, $1,- 4,19; Nevada $1,420; District of Columbia. $1,380; California, $1,- 360; Rhode Island, $1,310; Oregon, $1,306; New Jersey, $1,261; Mas- sachusetts, ,$1,184, and New York, $1.174. NoL only does Washington rank first but its purchasing power m 40 per cent abovc the per capita figure for tim nation. A first, quick conjecture is to attribute the prosperity indicated by the survey Lo the accumula- tion of high war wages but this' appears to be only a back ground inf]nencc, Present and current earnings account largely for the figures. The survey is based on income-tax returns, bank debits, retail, sales, agricultural market- ing, car loadings, and other fac- tors. High buying power and heavy increases in population now make this region one of the best mar- kcts for manufactured goods. The fact is becoming more and more apparent that persons who came here for the war industries have SIIELTON-MASON COUNTY JOURNAL remained. And nmre are coming. It is reported that many of this summer's seasonal workers in the fruit and harvesting and fruit processing operations are those who have come West hopmg tiros to g'et a toehold het'e and remain. Washington and Oregon together, by late Bureau of Census figures, show a total gain in resident civ- ilian population of 11.6 per cent. The entire Pacific Coast shares in the high buying income statis- tics and the same survey lists the highest eight metropolitan cen- ters in the United States, as Seat- tle Wash., while a per capita buy- ing income of $2,110; Spokane, Wash., $2,078; Sacramento, Calif., $1,999; Portland. Ore., $1,922; San Diego, Calif., $1,782; Tacoma, W, ash., $1,773; and San Francisco and Oakland, Calif., $1,715. High wages account for a good part of the figures and while Se- es,tie tops the cities of the nation in the high cost of living, it also leads in effective buying raceme. There is practcally no unemploy- ment in the city and "help want- ed" signs are still prevalent. The high buying power is part- ly accounted for in Seattle, and to a lessor degree throughout the region, in the doubling up of faro- flies due to the housing shortage. A large number of persons living under one roof, not having the overhead expense of separate dwellings, and many of Lhem em- ployed at high wages, means much more money for current spending.

Reed of Shelton. former mem- ber of the Vashington state sen- ate. died Tuesday morning in a Seattle hospital after a brief ill- ness. He had Long been associated with the Paget Mill Company and for years resided at Port Gamble. Along with Ed Sims of Port Townsend and the late Mr. Reed of Shelton, Condon formed a tri- umvirate of great power in state and national Republican affairs and their efforts had much to do with the completion of the Olym- pic peninsula loop highway. Condon had been retired from his Puget Mill Company duties for the past 10 years and had been living quietly in SeaLtle. He was a member of many clubs and or- ganizations, including the Masou- ic orders. He served in the senate from the district that then included Kitsap, Mason and Island coun- ties. BOY FOR MR. AND MRS. DONALI) BINA Mr. and Mrs. Donald Bina are the parents of a boy born Satur- day, August 24, in the hospital.

Plans for the Exposition pro- mise one of the most interesting shows ever held in this state, de- clares B. T. Moore. manager. Al- ready an imposing list of com- mercial - industrial exhibits has beeerl assigned space. Of special interest to women will be the exhibits showing vari- ous ways Lo prepare poultry and poultry l)roducts for home use. The Exposition has been parti- cularly fortunaLc, Moore states, in securing for judges of the poul- try exhibits, two directors of the American Poultry Association, J. H. Nicols of Tacolna and Harry D. Reid off Vancouver, B. C. These men have intcrna.tional relmta- Lions as poultry judges and will act as advisors to tim boys and girls as well as serving as judges.

About the first of our local con- tingent to return home after com- pleting their work in the Alaska canneries is Ed Westberg and Chester Hansen. Mr. and Mrs. Julian (Curley) Lombard have a fine, husky baby son named John Dorrance, for his Lwo grandfathers. All the crew at the Stretch Island Winery where Curley works bad hoped the baby wotfld arrive some work day morning so they mfiglt have the rest of the day off buL the baby chose 'Chursday evening when tlaerc was no Friday work any- way. This should cost Curley some extra treats or something, we think. Congratulations, anyway. Wc had a long h'Lter this weck from Mrs. Faye Mitchell from Eu- rope. After many interesting ex- periences she arrived at her des- tination--.the city of Luxembourg. After attending the Women's con- ference which was her objective, She hoped to go on to Berlin to visit daughter Eleanor Wheeler and family. It scares one has to get permmsion to go anywhere in Europe and if Lhe authorities say "no," Mrs. Mitchell will return to the United States in September. A note from Mrs. Louise Spoon- says.she is home from the hospi- • tal "and son Robbie and I are both so spry," she says. The little fcllow has been na'mcd Robcrt William, the opposite of his dad's names, so there is a W. R. Spoon- er and a R. W. Spooncr. Dr. R. F.

P,8-29 I Fine Progress On Puyallup Fair Grounds Reported Progress of work on buildings and St,rends I)rior to the opening of the 43d annual Wes'teru Wash- ington fair, Puyallup, on Sept. 14 is "very satisfactory" to members of the the board of diz'ectors of Lhe association who were recenL- ly eonducted on a.tour of inspec- Lion by Manager John H. McMur- ray. Since ass,racing early this year that the fair would open its doors again this fall the association has beecn following a schedule of improvement work, using sal- vaged materiMs, to boLh grounds and buildings. This schedule, ac- cording to Manager McMurray, is well ahead of the time seL for improvements to date. The board of directors, in their tour of the grounds, saw the new Agriculture building with its rc- decorated inLerior, the new rodeo chutes in front of the main grand- stand, the concrete drinking foun- tains which fair workmen design- cd and built, the new waterproof all-concrete display tanks in the Fish and Game building, the new hard-surfaced road-ways, the con- dition of the turf infield and new- ly-planted flower beds, the work in the new exterior to the main entrance, and the progress of the inspection work on the Big Dip- per ride in the fair-owned and op- erated amusement zone. Dates of the 43rd annual exposi- tion at Puyallup are from Sept. 14 through Sept. 22, day and night. G. I. Insurance *t Liberalized By New Measure National service life insurance has been materially extended and liberalized as a result of amend- ments to the original law recently passed by congress, according to an announcement from I:he VeLer- ans' Administration. The new anaendments, designed to meet peacetime needs, provide endowment policies, permit the naming of beneficiaries outside the restricted classes in the original bill, and offer hunp sum pay- ments and total disability benefits. Holders of about six million NS- LI policies now in force are eligi- ble for the new benefits, the an- nouncement stated. Veterans who have allowed their policies to lapse may also be entitled to reinstate theln and take advantage of the low cosL protection of GI insurance and its new liberal benefits. Veterans should not feel com- pelled to make an immediaLe change in the term insurance they now carry, since they have ample Lime to give careful consideration: to their insurance program, the VA advises. Teriu insurance policies before Jamzary 1, 19,16, may be conLinued without change for eight years from the date issued, and p¢)]icies issued after DeccJnber 31, 1945, are good for five years without the.ne- cessity of converting. Three types of endowment poli- cies are set up under Llac GI insur- ance law; 20-year eidowment, en- dowmenL aL ag'e 60, and endow- menLaL age 65. Previously only ordinary life, 20-pay life and 30- pay life had been authorized as permanent forms of insurance. All restrictions on the choice of bene- fieiaries imposed by the original act have been removed. The insurance amendments al- low the option of a single lump sum settlement to beneficiaries, or payments in equal monthly install- ments ranging from 36 to 240 months. Original methods of pay- sent, which are still in force, In'O-] vided monthly income to benefic- iaries for life, witl" a guarantee of Lhe full value of the policy. A new feature of GI insurance is the payment of benefits to an insured veteran who is totally dis- abled for as long as six months. Paid at the rate of $5 per month for each $1,000 of insurance, bene- fits continue for as long as the dis- ability exists. The disability fea- ture may be added to any form of insurance, including term policies, by meeting specified health re- quirements and paying an extra premiunu Applications for insurance which were rejected solely for health rea- sons between October 8, 1940, and September 2, 1945, are validated by the amendments in cases where the applicants were killed or total- ly disabled in line of duty.
