Page 8 Heppner Gazette Times, Thursday, June 12, 1952 Social Security Representative Due Social security officers are now beginning to use the new benefit formula in figuring benefits un lor the Social Security Law. This does not mean an automatic in crease for those who are now re reiving benefits, but does mean that some eople who are now applying for benefits will have ihese benefits figured the new way. The new formula, as with the old, is based on the average monthly earnings and the maxi mum monthly average Is $300 since not more than $3600 can be credited to a social security ac count in any one year. When the monthly average is determined, the use of the new formula is dimple. The monthly old-age and survivors insurance benefit is 50 of the first $100 of average monthly earnings plus 15 of all over thai. However, not every one may mave his benefit figured 1 his new way; to do so the indi vidual must have at least six quarters of coverage, or about ane and one-half years of work or self -employment since January 1, 1951. The person whose benefits are based on self employment alone w ill receive reduced benefits if he files this year; to secure the high est benefit possible based on his ('arnings, he must wait until .January next year to file his claim. More information about this is available at any social security office. If you are plan ning to retire sometime this year, your social security office will be glad to help you decide when you should file your claim. lien Kantner, field representa tive of the Social Security Ad- Oregon Vets' Bonus Checks Due in July Veterans who have moved since applying for the Oregon bonus were warned today to report their address changes immediately to the Department of Veterans' Af fairs bonus division in Salem. ' Bonus payments are slated to start by the first of July, but H. C. Saalfeld, bonus supervisor, pre dicts that many of the checks will be returned to the department be cause applicants failed to report their change of address. Saalfeld said the post office in most cases will not forward bonus checks. "If a veteran has moved since he applied for the bonus, and hasn't Informed us of his ad dress change, his bonus payment will be returned to the veterans' department and held until we can locate him." Applicants can avoid this de lay by informing the department immediately of their address changes. They should write the Department of Veterans' Affairs, bonus division, Salem, Oregon, giving their full name and bonus application number, their old ad dress and the new address. An estimated 65,000 veterans will receive about $27,170,000 in the initial payments during July. That is the number and amount of payments expected to be ap proved when the first bonus checks go in the mail. More than ministration in La Grande, will be at the city hall in Heppner on Thursday, June 19th, from 9:00 a. m. until noon for the conven ience of the residents of Heppner who have social security prob lems they wish to discuss with him.

The May toll brings the death count for the year thus far to 135, as compared with 117 at the same time in 1951. Fatalities in May a year ago totalled 39. Officials said last month's death count may climb if delayed reports are received or if persons listed as injured later die as a result of their injuries. Nineteen May fatalities took place in rural roadways and the remaining nine within the limits of incorporated cities and towns, Two fatal accidents, one involv ing a collision with a train at a grade crossing and one in which a two-year-old pedestrian was killed, took place on private pro perty. Private property mishaps, while listed as "motor vehicle" deaths, are not officially charged to the state s traffic accident record. LETTERS TO THE EDITOR To the Editor: The high ideals and standards by which we live are measured by the golden, rule and are pat terned after our 3 great heritages the home, the schools and the churches. One of the most loved and sacred days we celebrate is Mother's day. - One of the most difficult decis ions that confronted me after tak ing county judgeship was to com mit an 57 year old mother to the insane asylum. This mother had just received a letter from an only son which read along this order, dear, mother I am lonely tonight in this far off cruel land. Thousands of our boys have lost their lives and soaked the snow covered fields with their life's blood in this terrible battle of heart break ridge. The only re ward they will ever receive will be thousands of white crosses to mark their last resting places, soon to be forgotten. I hope and pray you will receive this small Mother's day gift. This courageous mother said, Judge please don't send me away I have lived here 37 years, I am sick, tired, and worried. Your own county judge has shed tears over this same issue. There will be a measure placed before the people this November to build a convalescent home for those who are on the border lir,.i or in a senile stage, the governor your own county judge and Allen Tom your representative elect, favor this move as a humanitar ian act. A convalescent home would be the answer to the prayers of thousands of people who have met misfortune through sickness, worry or other misfortunes, to support this measure your un written message would read, I will not remove your parents from their homes and sell them down the river of disgrace and shame. If this measure carries you will be the heroes. If not just charge me for being too soft hearted and sentimental. Always remember you are still your brothers keep er. C A.
