TOO MANY SCHOOL
DROP-OUTS
What is the impact of high
school drop-outs on the econ-
omy of our county? Suppose
we have 50 boys and girls
who drop-out of high school
at the end of their junior
year. Life expected income
for this group is $188,362 each,
or a total of $9,418,100. If
these boys and girls had fin-
ished four years of college,
their life expected income
would have been $382,982
each or a total of $19,149,100.
In other words 50 drop-outs
a year represent an economic
loss of nearly $10 million to
our county.
This is not the whole story.
The economic deprivation of
the poorly trained segment of
our society is only one of
their problems, but is one our
county should be aware of.
A Disproportionate share
of family Resources allocated
to one area of need.
ANOTHER EXAMPLE
Another example of a dis-
proportionate share of family
resources allocated to one
area of need is in spending
for transportation. Transpor-
tation has edged out clothing
as the third largest area of
spending. The number of two
or even three car families is
at an all time high and in-
creasing rapidly. Many times
families have trouble living
within their incomes, for the
first time in their lives, when
they buy a second automobile.
Why? Many times it is be-
cause the family saw only the
$500 purchase price on that
used auto they were buying
for their second car. They
failed to consider such things
as the cost of operation; cost
of upkeep, which is higher on
used cars; cost of insurance,
especially if there are teen-
age drivers.
New car costs vary consid-l

HERE’S
Youngsters have a knack for messing up things...
themselves, the house, their clothes. This is especially
true during the winter months. And it takes a lot of
hot water to clean up. The new 3-times-fafter, quick re-
covery, flamelcss clcttric water heater is time saving and
provides a morc-than-amplc
supply of hot water. A Strift
temperature control prevents
overheating and there’s noth-
ing to re-set, regulate, or turn
on and off except the faucet.
It can be easily installed
anywhere in the house, since
there is no flame, no flue is
needed. Only a flameless elec-
tric water heater is full) auto-
matic.
See your eleftric appliance
dealer or your plumbing fix-
tures dealer about installing a
flamcless eleftric water heater.
