Installment
Debt Averages
S9BO Family
(Special to the Progres*-Argu)
NEW YORK, Sept. 13—How
much of a load are residents of
Butts County carrying these days
in the form of installment debt?
What part of their income goes
each month toward repayment of
this debt?
Consumers in the local area,
as well as those is most other
parts of the country, have been
adding to their debt in recent
years.
One factor that has brought
this about is the increased avail
ability of consumer credit, which
has taken such new forms as all
purpose credit plans, bank check
credit and revolving credit.
Credit is so freely obtainable
now that nearly one out of every
two families uses it in its pur
chasing. It has enabled many peo
ple, who could not otherwise have
obtained them, to buy cars,
homes, air conditioning, travel
and other big-ticket items.
As of the middle of this year,
the Federal Reserve Board re
ports, the amount of installment
credit outstanding in the United
States was $93.09 billion, a sharp
rise over the $83.43 billion listed
a year earlier.
In Butts County, on the basis
of this and other studies, the
amount of installment debt out
standing is estimated at S9BO per
family.
That is what it amounts to on
average. It varies widely from
family to family. Some owe much
more than this and others owe
little or nothing.
For the Butts County popula
tion as a whole, the total install
ment debt comes to approximate
ly $2,458,000.
The largest part of it, over 38
percent, represents payments due
on car purchases. The rest is for
other consumer goods, for home
repairs and modernization loans
and personal loans. Home mort
gages and charge accounts in
stores do not fall within this cate
gory.
To pay off their installment
debt on a regular basis requires
nearly 16 percent of the net dis
posable income of local residents,
or about SBO per month per fam
ily.
Is this more than they can
handle comfortably? Not accord-
the game will be counted as incorrect.
t>. In event of a tie, the prize will be equally divided
among the contestants tieing.
7. Winners will receive their prize at The Progress-
Argus office after 10 a. m. Tuesdays, at which time
the winners’ names will be posted in the windows of
the sponsoring firms and announced in the paper.
8. No employees and their families of four sponsors and
newspaper are eligible.

New Restrictions
Placed On Dogs
At State Parks
ATLANTA, (GPS) There’s
no doubt about it, most dog own
ers love their pets. Some even
insist that theirs are perfect little
ladies and gentlemen. But, dogs
being dogs, they can —and often
do—become nusiances at times
in some places under some cir
cumstances.
Among such places are Geor
gia’s 44 widely scattered state
parks where some 7.5-million
people go annually for recreation
al pleasures, including a measure
of peace and quiet. Many of these
visitors complain about the un
manageable behavior of impulsive
canines.
In view of the situation, the
State Parks Department has of
necessity placed new restrictions
on dogs being brought into the
parks, according to State Parks
Director John L. Gordon. The
new regulations, effective
throughout the far-flung parks
system Sept. 15, specifies:
1. Dogs will not be permitted
to stay in state-owned mobile
homes and cottages. (This does
not include privately-owned trail
ers in areas where dogs are per
mitted.)
2. In areas where dogs are
permitted, which includes camp
ing, picnic and trailer parking
areas, dogs at all times must be
on leashes that do not exceed six
feet in length.
The announcement emphasized
that, as in the past, all park
swimming areas are off-limits to
dogs at all times.
KITCHEN SAFETY
Faulty equipment can be the
cause of an accident. Miss An
nette Ray, home economist with
the University of Georgia Coope
rative Extension Service, suggests
that you check kitchen appliances
for frayed electrical cords or un
usual sounds. Give careful atten
tion to suggestions in the main
tenance manual.
ing to the figures. Only a small
portion of the people have gone
too deeply into debt and had dif
ficulty. For the great majority,
rising incomes and steady employ
ment have enabled them to carry
their debt burden quite well.
