with all of them being set by
lightning.
Ihc latest blaze to show up
was a one -acre fire on Little Wll
son creek which was set in the
last storm Friday but didn't show
up until Sunday. About 10 men
were sent out on this blaze and
suppression crews were still out
Monday.
Local officials said that last
Thursday night's storm was one
of the worst for setting fires that
it had out of the five lightning
storms in as many days. The lar
gest of the blazes covered only
about two acres.
o

SOCIAL SECURITY BENEFITS PAID TO
MORROW RESIDENTS INCREASE IN 1955
Old-Age benefits under federal
social security were awarded to
more than 2,500 of the nation's
newly retired workers a day dur
ing 1955. In Morrow county alone,
24 more retired workers were re
ceiving old-age monthly benefits
at the end of 1955 than at the
beginning of the year, according
to figures Just released by Ver
non A. Welo, district manager in
La Grande.
At the end of 1955, 109 retired
workers In Morrow county were
getting monthly old-age benefit
payments; in addition 81 people
in this county were receiving
monthly benefits as dependents
of old-age beneficiaries or as sur
vivors of workers who had died.
In the county as a whole the
number of persons receiving old
age and survivors insurance
benefits Increased by nearly 1.1
million In 1955, 16 percent more
than at the end of 1954. Nation
wide there were almost four and
a half million retired workers
receiving old age benefits at the
end of 1955 and an additional
three and a half million depen
dent and survivor beneficiaries
wives, children, husbands, mo
thers, aged widows, widowers,
and parents.
In Morrow county, retired work
ers were receiving $6,648 monthly
In social security payments as
1955 came to a close, Welo said.
Dependents of old-age benefic
iaries or survivors of ' workers
who had died were getting $3,154
a month in Morrow county at the
end of the year. These amounts
represent increases of 51 and 41
percent, respectively.
Pointing out the significance of
old age and survivors insurance
under social security as a floor
of financial protection for the
aged, Welo said that In the na
tion as a whole today, over half
of the non-working aged people
are eligible for monthly bene
fits under the social security pro
gram'and that in the years ahead
the proportion will steadily in
crease. This, he said, will re
sult primarily from the exten
sion of coverage under the 1954
amendments to approximately 10
million more working people
Including most of the nation's
farm population.
Children made up a large group
of beneficiaries In Morrow county
in 1955; 39 of them were receiv
ing monthly benefits totaling
$1,542 at the end of the year.
Most of them were survivors of
an insured father of mother who
had died, but some were the
minor children of retired workers
receiving old-age benefits.
While benefits can now be
paid for as many as 12 months
preceding the month of filing an
application, Welo urges everyone
to get In touch with his social
security office (1) when he
reaches age 65, even though he Is
still working, (2) when he reach
es age 72, regardless of the
amount of his earnings, or (3)
when the family breadwinner
dies. People who have been in
employment or self-employment
covered by old-age and survivors
Insurance but who have become
totally disabled should also get
in touch with their social security
office, or have someone do so
for them, he said. A representa
tive of this office will be in Hepp
ner at the City Hall from 9:00

Age Limits Up
For Salk Vaccine
The State Board of Health at a
meeting in Salem, July 13, raised
age recommendations on the use
of Salk vaccine in Oregon from
20 to 30 years. Dr. Harold M.
Erickson, state health officer,
said about 14 percent of the to
tal number of polio cases and
about 15 percent of the paraly
tic cases in Oregon during the
last four years are among per
sons over the age of thirty. If
supplies continue to Increase,
age limits may be raised or re
moved entirely.
State Board of Health statis
tics show that only about 300,
000 persons in Oregon have re
ceived one or more shots. A
total of 818,000 persons under
thirty years of age are now urged
to receive the full series of three
shots of Salk vaccine.
Dr. Wallace H. Wolff, city
health officer, said physicians
will assist Public Health and
Welfare officials in administer
ing free vaccine to welfare re
cipients. o
Fees' For Anesthesia
Changed at Hospital
The medical staff and man
agement of Pioneer Memorial
hospital wish to advise members
of the community of a change
in business procedure relative to
anesthetic fees. In the past the
past the hospital has levied both
a charge for anesthetic materials
and an anesthesia fee which was
used to reimburse the physician
if one administered an anesthe
tic in the absence of a hospital
anesthetist.
Henceforth, the hospital will
levy a charge for materials sup
plied and the physician anesthe
tist will render a bill for his pro
fessional services to the patient.
This is in accord with the recom
mendations of the State Medical
society and the American Medical
association. There will be no
change in the fee schedule,
