Net Worth Of Warren Citizens Is Increasing NEW YORK ? In terms of worldl> possessions. how much is the average Warren County family worth today? What is the net worth?assets minus liabilities?of the family home, automobile, investments, | furniture, personal property, I bank accounts, insurance and i other valuables tha* were ac- | quired over the years? Few lamilies have more than j a hazy idea of how much they i are worth. Their concerns are more immediate ones, such as their weekly income, their cur- ' rent bills, the cost of food and | the like. As to their total as- i sets, they never to>k the time to figure. them out carefully. O'l the basis of the latest economic studies. the net worth of the local population has t>een on the rise in recent years, despite inflation, and is now in 'he ' neighl>orhood of $01, 900.000. While the figure, admittedly, is not a precise one, it is de rived from national studies made by the Federal Reserve Board and others It takes into account the aver age income in the local area and the manner in which the total income is distributed among the population as a whole. Wha* with wages and salaries in Warren County rising, year by year, most families have been adding to their posses sions. The average net worth in the area isnowestimated at $13,000 per family, based upon the Fed eral Reserve Board's overall findings and upon local income figures. This is an across-the-board average, which includes young families, who have not yet been able to accumulate a great deal in the way of assets, as well as those in the 5" to 61 group, whose assets are a- a peak. The broad picture o! personal wealth shows that, lor any par ticular family, it is closely re lated to its earning capacity. In general, it is found, fam ilies with net, after-tax, incomes of $6,000 to $8,000 hive from $13,000 to $18,000 in assets, tha' those in the $8 - 000 to $10,000 ca'egory ha^e from $18,000 to $26,500 and that those with net incomes of $12, 000 to $15,000 have assets rang ing from $38,500 to $63,000. These are the net worth figures, after deduction for all outstanding debt, including mortgage obligations on the house and payments on the car. Cotton Producers To Vote On Quotas By Mail Cotton producers will vote by mail IX-c. 1-5 on marketing quotas for the 1970 upland cot ton crop, W. S. Smiley, Chair man of the County Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Committee announced yester day. A 1970 upland cotton national marketing quota of 16.008,333 bales has been announced by the U. S. Department of Agricul ture along with a national allot ment has exceeded 16 million acres Warren County has a total of 8,619 acres available for allot ment to producers of upland cotton, representing its share of the national allotment plus the national acreage reserve of 150.000 acres for the establish ment of minimum farm allot ments as required by law. Individual farm allotments are set by the County ASC Com mittee in Accordance with law and USDA regulations and are based on the cotton acreage his tory of each farm. Notices of farm allotments will be mailed prior to the referendum tooper ators of upland cotton farms. If at least two-thirds of the growers voting in the national referendum approve quotas for the 1970 upland cotton crop, producers who planted within their allotment would have available a Federal program offering price-support loans and payments. Marketing quota penalties would apply to any excess cotton produced on a farm. Cooperators In the 1970 up land cotton program would have available to them pricesupport loans of 20 25 cents a pound and price-support payments of 16 80 cents a pound on acre age planted within the domestic allotment which Is 6a percent of the total farm ail&ment. If more than one-third of the voters oppose quotas for the 1970 crop, the regular allot ment program would remain in effect. Price-support loans would be available at 50 per cent of parity for growers who did not exceed their acreage allotments, as provided by law. However, noprice-support pay ments would be made. No penal ties would be imposed for ex cess cotton. Ballots will be mailed to eligible producers and should be returned to the Warren Coun ty ASCS Office during Decem ber 1-5 Mailed ballots must be postmarked no later than Dec. 5. Ballots returned In person must be brought in be fore the office closed on Dec. 5. Generally, eligible voters are those producers wlio shared In the 1969 cotton crop or its pro ceeds. Questions about voter eligibility should go to the County ASCS Office. Chairman Smiley commented that cotton growers have ap proved marketing quotas tor each year's crop beginning with the referendum for ihe 1954 crop. Preston Carpenter has re turned from Vietnam. He is visiting his wife, the former Miss Suzanne Rudd of War renton. Thanksgiving Expected To Be Routine Business hojses a' Wnen ton and over tho county will be closed on Thursday in ob servance of the Thanksgiving holiday, but little entertainment of a formal nature has been scheduled so far as could bo learned here Tuesday at press time The only scheduled a'fair so far reported in connection with the holiday observance is a dinner and d;uice at the War renton Couniry Club on Sa'ur day nigh'. The club will also be the scene of mn:h 40lf, weather permitting An unusually large number of citizens and visitors are ex pected to enjoy hunting on Thanksgiving and during the re mainder of the week Indica tions are that the game supply is in good supply, with many hunters getting their limit on opening day of the season on Nov. 15 and since that time. Many college boys and girls and many former boys and girls now working elsewhere are ex pected to visit their people for the Thanksgiving holidays, and from sa-'es of turkey and other food in local stores for the past few days every indication is that they will be well fed. As usual a number of family parties are expected to be held, but indications are that Thanks giving in Warren County will be a quiet but happy affair. Thanksgiving Recalls Ship That Limped Into Oblivion WASHINGTON - If the good ship Speedwell hadn't leaked In 1620, It would be as revered today as the Mayflower. And Plymouth Rock might have been named Delfshaven Rock. History has been unkind to the Speedwell and Its home port, Delfshaven, a town that once bustled with activity but now survived as a mere creek in booming Rotterdam. For a dozen years Pilgrims found sanctuary In Holland in their quest for religious freedom, the National Geo graphic Society says. Their Journey to the New World be gan not from Plymouth but from Delfshaven, not aboard the May flower but the Speedwell. The Pilgrim adventure start ed in 1608, when 35 members of an English Congregational church in Nottinghamshire crossed the North Sea to Holland. They settled first In Amsterdam, then in Leiden, center of the handicraft trades in the Province of South Hol land. As carpenters, tailors, and printers, the Pilgrims lived an industrious, peaceful life. "These English people have now lived amongst us these ten years," a city magistrate commented adecade later, "and never any complaint or accusa tion has been brought against any of them." Nevertheless, In 1620the im migrants laid plans to find a new home in America. They bought and fitted out the Dutch-built Speedwell, and ar ranged to Join a larger group bound from England aboard the Mayflower. The Speedwell lay anchored at Delfshaven. where the Pil grims were to Wve a lasting Impression In their brief stay. Even today, streets named Pil grims Straat and Speedwell straat wind among old gritted houses and twisting waterway* The 350th anniversary of the voyage will be celebrated in quiet Delfshaven in 1*70.
