Reminder Given
War Veterans On
Social Security
Widows, children and depend
ent parent! of World War II vet
eran! who died within three
years after honorable discharge
were reminded thli week by the
Oregon Department of Veterans'
Affairs that they may be eligible
for social security benefits ern
ed as the result of the man's
time in active service.
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.
The veteran must have had 90
days of continuous service, a part
of which must have been between
Sept. 16, 1940, and July 25, 1947.
unless he was discharged sooner
for service Incurred disabilities.
The effect of title II, approved
in August, 1946, is to ass'ire
mommy income payments to a
widow with minor children, or to
the dependent parents, or a lump
sum payment to the unremarrieJ
widow without minor children
surviving a World War II vet
eran discharged without dishonor
who died within three years aft
er his discharge. -Payments
are not made, how
ever, where survivors are receiv
ing death compensation from the
Veterans Administration because
ol service connected death.
Oregon officials of the social
security administration said tlta
while the bulk of payments under
he act have been completed, due
to the fact that most World War
II servicemen were discharged
more than three years ago, thcie
are still some deaths occurring
among servicemen discharged la
ter. Also, they said it is possible
some survivors have not filed be
cause they were unaware of these
nenems. surn applications are
still valid, they said, although
payment! will be made retroac
live only three months from time
of application. .
Applicants were advised to con
tact their nearest social security
office, county veterans' service
officers, or the Portland or Sa
lem offices of the Department of
Veterans' Affairs.

The horseshoe-pitching court
Just outside Mr. Truman s office
window Is another gift that will
serve future Presidents.
Lots of gifts, however, are
strictly personal. Like the hats
and upwards of 1,000 neckties
with bowtles predominating
shirts, socks and even suits.
From the day Mr. Truman
took over at the White House,
people have called regularly
bringing in gifts. Some times a
Delegation will bring a turkey,
or a salmon from the Pacific
northwest, fresh caught mountain
trout, a crate of strawberries, a
record-weight watermelon or a
box of chocolate candy.
Could Fill Warehouse
One man In daily contact with
the President said all these gifts
had to be catalogued when the
Trumans moved out of the White
House so It could be repaired.
"There must be enough to fill
a warehouse," he said.
One of the presents Mr. Tru
man can't keep Is an almost
priceless painting of Benjamin
Franklin presented him on be
half of the French government.
But he can keep enough shirts
to last him a lifetime, as a result
of a trip he made to Kansas City
a few years ago during the shirt
shortage.
He went around to the shop of
Eddie Jacobson, his former hab
erdashery partner, looking for
some white shirts, size 15i with
33-inch sleeves.
Jacobson was fresh out at the
time, and newsmen reported that
tor their papers.
More than 250 shirts came In
from all parts of the country.
The President had to plead wllh
the press to halt the avalanche.
Members of his itaff benefitted
by the bonanza.

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.
