Title II of the social security act provides that such veterans are deemed to have died fully insured, to have received month ly wages -of not less than J1B0, and to have been paid not leu than $200 in wage! in each vear in which they had 30 days or more of active service after Sept. 16, 1940, under the act.

Pari-Mutuel Betting System Is Explained The question "Just what is parl-mutuel wagering?" has aris en among many Roseburg horse fanciers lately, probably for the first time for years. The opening of a big time, professional race meeting tonight presents many resident! their first opportunity for legalized betting on the bang tails. Briefly, and as simply u pos sible, the parl-mutuel wagering system is one whereby the ioseia pay the winners. Here is the way it operates: Three types of tickets are sold win. on horses bettors think are going to finish fiist, Dlace. on horses bettori believe will finish either first or set ond; and show, on horses bettors hope will either v.in, finish second, or third. Suppose a horse named Suzy Q wins the race. All the money paid for win tickets on that race is placed in a big pool. Imme diately 12 1-2 percent of this mon ey is taken out 9 1-2 percent goes to the track for operating expenses, and 3 percent goes to the state for welfare purposes. Then the number of win tickets bought on Suzy Q is divided into the money left in the pool. The answer is the amount of money to be paid each win ticket holder. To determine the money paid place ticket holders, the pruveiu is Just the same, except the pool is divided in half, and theii the number of tickets on the winning horse, and on the second horse all divided into each half. And for show tickets the pool is divid ed into thirds before the ticket division takes place. veteran horse plavers admit the system seems difficult. But as one railbird said when asked to explain it, "Whv bother ex plaining the system? Come on out and lay a few bets you'll catch on right away."

Support Prices For Prunes Not Yet Established The department of agriculture is awaiting action by California firune grower! before estahllsh ng support prices for the current season. This Information is re ceived from Congressman Harris Ellsworth in a letter to Lou Knight, Canyonville, who had supplied Ellsworth with Informa tion concerning market problems. Ellsworth said in reply: "Some weeks ago the prune situation was called to my atten tion and I immediately took the matter up with the department of agriculture. Last year the gov ernment supported the price of prunes and purchased consider able quantities. There were some r.CA shipments to turope and a 25 per cent subsidy was paid on all such shipments. "This year California growers are working out a marketing agreement and the department has indicated that no plans will be made until it is known whether the agreement Is com pleted. The results of the voting of the growers should be known within a week or 10 days. Since California produces DO per cent of the total crop, the department feels that a marketing agreement will favorably affect the price on the general market. I cannot judge whether or not this will be true concern ing Oregon crops." Ellsworth reports he will keep in touch with department of ag riculture decisions.
