dustrial and commercial workers In
Oregon are now covered by the public
assistance and unemployment com
pensation provisions of the social se
curity act. These figures were an
nounced by Mr. Edgar Freed, state
director for the national emergency
council for Oregon, and are based
upon a report of the social security
board, summarizing the progress made
under the act In the eight months
since It became operative.
Oregon Is participating In every
feature of the social security act ad
ministered by the social security board
except aid to dependent children.
The state has set up an unemploy
ment compensation system whloh will
protect 300,000 workers against loss
of income during temporary pericaa
of unemployment. The social security
board pays the costs of administering
this system.
The state has established public
assistance plans for aid to the needy
aged and aid to the needy blind
which, with federal aid, provide
regular Income to Individuals unable
to provide for themselves, in sepienv
ber an estimated 11,900 aged and
360 blind individual received asssist
ance under these plans at & total
cost of $260,250. Approximately one-
half the cost of this aid to the aged
and the blind was paid by the social
security board.
Since the state began cooperation
with the federal government under
the terms of the social security act.
a total of $1,324,394 of federal funds
has come to Oregon to aid It in pro
viding these benefits. It has re
ceived $70,531 for administration of
Its unemployment compensation
$1,236,022 for assistance to the needy
aged, and $26,941 for aid to the needy
blind. Federal funds have made it
possible for Oregon to provide much
more adequately for its needy citizens
than would be possible out of state
and local funds alone.
Still further benefits are open to
Oregon under the social security act,
If the state establishes a pl&n for
aid to dependent children In line with
the federal act It will be eligible to
receive approximately one-third the
cost this aid from the social security
board.
In addition to these co-operative

SETS NEW RECORO
As the weather bureau predicted
another day of fair weather with no
change In temperature, Oregon resi
dents are beginning to wonder if the
mid-west drouth has taken up per
manent quartern on the Pacific coast.
Although falls as dry as this one are
not so uncommon In southern Ore
gon as In the northern part of the
state, the seasonal deficiency to date
of 1.27 Inches has surpassed that of
1.11 recorded In October of 1032, the
only comparative figure available to.
day. October deficiency. Is reported
as 1.10 Inches.
Medford residents awoke, today to
the coldest morning of the season,
the mercury having dropped to 29
degrees during the early morning
hours, according to bureau officials.
Previous low was 31 degrees, regis
tered early last week. Low temper
atures have skirted the freezing point
for the past several days, remaining
above 32 degrees for the most part.

with the 1036 bulget of $155.SR1,48
and the 193a budget of $185,01911.
The mlllage rate for 1937 Mr. Alford
estimated as 19.7 mills as compared
with 30.8 for the 1936 and 34.6 mills
for 1035. Vastly improved tax collec
tions account for the budget reduc
tions, the recorder said.
Objects To Bond
Mr. Pipes also objected to the es
tablishment of a real estate depart
ment though he added that "the ob
ject sought in this department is
sound and is good business." He ex
pressed the view that if the work
could not be done by other deport
ments, the head of the real estate
department should be paid not by
salary but by sale commissions. It
was pointed out by city officials to
day, however, that the real estate de
partment does a large amount of
productive work not involving realty
sales.
Mr. Pipes also registered opposition
to the city's financing a municipal
band, saying Medford was not now
in a position to assume such a re
sponsibility. The city council recent
ly was requested to take over the
Elks band a a municipal organisa
tion. A petition filed with the coun
cil asked that tha proposition be
submitted to the voters at the next
special election, Tho matter Is now
being studied by council committees.
