Your Heppner Central Tire Dealer SOCIAL SECURITY COUNTY SHOW 31 Old-age, survivors, and disa bility Insurance benefits are be ing Daid in Morrow county at the rate of $210,552 a year, ac cording to Vernon A Welo, man ager of the La Grande social security district office. 'This is an increase of about 31 over last year," Welo said. "Our studies have shown that many of these aged people, wi dows, and orphans have little or no other resources," he pointed out. "For about 9 of the bene ficiaries, social security benefits received as an earned right, are the only sources of cash Income.' Welo also stressed that while the benefits are intended pri-, marilv as basis for individual I Prnnnmlp security, the payment of social security benefits at the rate of $310,552 a year in Mor row county helps business gener elly because of the money Is spent immediately on food, clo thing, and other necessities. "This is especially important in a time of economic recession," he said. "Social security benefits are being paid nationally at a rate OI more man o uuuuii uui- ";"nii lars annually.

One was the payment of benefits to peo ple who were brought under the law for the first time in recent years self-employed farmers, for example. Other reasons for the increase were the reduction in the retirement age to 62 for women and the starting of disa bility insurance benefits to dis abled people 50 or over. Local Phone Service Notes 60th Birthday, Big Gain in Use Telephone service In Heppner is 60 years old this month. The first service was establish ed here In August of 1898, ac cording to Pacific Telephone manager Dallas Short. Pacific Telephone came into tha nlptnro twn vpars later when tt Knnolit tVio Avphnntrp from the, Inland Telephone company. The equipment at that time consis ted of a one-position switchboard with 30 lines; aerial cable from the central office to Main street and a small amount of wire lines. The devastating flood of 1903 damaged the equipment beyond repair and it had to be replaced. More switchboard positions and cable were added through the years to keep pace .with the grad ual growth of the town. By 1910 there were 120 tele phones In use, and over the next four decades that number in creased to 608. By 1953, when dial service and extended ser vice to lone and Lexington was Introduced here, there were 645 telephones being served by Pa cific Telephone. Steadv growth of the commun ity and demand for telephone service has continued over the past five years, and Pacific Tele phone is now providing service to some 770 telephones. Phone 6-9481 PAYMENTS IN INCREASE Welo agreed that one factor In the increase may be the busi ness recession. "I'm sure some older people who would have preferred to keep on working have been forced to retire be cause of the general business conditions," he said. "Also some mothers may be getting surviv ors insurance benefits for them selves as well as their children because they have lost Jobs as a result of the recession." Manv of these people would have been forced to turn to pub lic assistance as soon as they exhausted their unemployment insurance rights, Welo said. The result would nave Deen a iur- tner increase in puDiic weuare costs, which are paid out of general taxation. For the entire State of Oregon, social security payments at the end of 1957 were being paid to 135,503 beneficiaries at the rate of $7,568,800 per month.

" size 1-4 Hints Given for Ridding Patios of Nuisance Bugs Colored lights, aerosol bombs, and residual sprays can help pre vent night flying insects from becoming a nuisance around backyard patios, picnic areas and home entrances. Robert Every, Oregon State col lege extension entomologist, says no sure-fire method has been found to eliminate all insects but homeowners can take certain measures to reduce insect nui sances. Although most Insects don't bite or sting, they often collect in large swarms, cause discomfort, and sometimes get so thick they "pave" driveways and entrances. No light has yet been devel oped that repels all insects, he says, but different colored lights attract different kinds of insects. Pure white light draws -certain moths and beetles. Generally, bright blue and blue-white lights attract the most insects, yellow attracts some, and red seems to be least visible.
