Mr. Nelson further stated that every worker who reaches his 65th birthday should write or pay a visit to the local office of the Social Security Boara, whether or not he intends to .... .nnn At AS there are im portant things for a worker to consider about his benems. the last working years oi nis me ... i. .... in ho nut sick more lie ia . than before. His wages are apt to be less than before. And he may go out of private industry v.,in. into uncovered work. All these factors operate to re duce his benefits unless ne ibrot . n nmiort them to the fullest extent possible. The same in true with respect to me dri fits of his wife and minor chil dren, i Ma Go On Working The worker has the privilege n,mi'Hmo ihosp. reductions by fillns his claim for benefits when he reaches age 65. This does not mean that he has to retire. He can keep on working after he has filed his claim, and he will receive benefits for any month In which he notifies the board that his wages are below $15. Should his earnings increase after ho has filed his claim, he may '? able to raise his benefit amount by filing a request for recomputatlon at a later date. However, if a worker after 65 continues to work steadily at pay which Is as high as, or higher, than, his past average under social security, there is no advantage in his filing a claim Immediately. On the other hand, it is generally to his advantage to file his claim if his pay begins in rirnn nr If hn hpcrtn. lnalnff time on covered jobs, or if he works In noncovered employ ment. The offices of the Social Security Board will be glad to go into each individual's case with him. All services are free of charge.

Summer Water UseK Reaches Peak In Orchards, Fields Heaviest irrigating of the sum mer is now underway in the orchards and seed fields of the valley, Manager Spencer of the Medford Irrigation district re ports. All canals are carrying a full head of water, with not enough ditches to supply the de mand. 1 nere is sufficient storage water, but not enough ditches to distribute it to all who want it now, Manager Spencer explains. Irrigating is being carried on night and day. Ditches of the Talent district are also taxed to capacity. There are approximately 4000 acres of orchards now being wat ered, not to mention clover and other seed fields. The hot wea ther of the past week, coupled with a lull in the spraying work, caused the heavy water usage. Closing time tor Classified Ads' 8:30 1 m.

Due to good forage in the hills there have been few . complaints of deer raiding rural alfalfa and garden . patches this season. In some sections the Chinese pheas ants are reported eating new corn. The quail are exception ally plentiful, due to few hunters killing them in season and farm ers protecting them. Bear are also plentiful in the hill country. Supt. E. P. Leavitt of Crater Lake National Park reports bruins in his territory are staying back in the timber. They formerly flocked to camp ing sites and waxed fat on gar bage and the bounty of tourists who fed them candy and other tid-bits. Food and gasoline re strictions have curbed all this. The bears also before the war would : raid, autos, eat . picnic lunches and occasionally rip up the upholstery of cars in their search for food. Juvenile Lodge At Phoenix Will Meet Phoenix, July 11.

You donft have fo own a ref isiry io gefl gasoline m 1 II everyone had la make hit own gasoline, there certainly wouldn't be any parking problem. For the crudest kind of old-fashioned shell stills cost about $5,000. And a mod , em refinery such as Union's costs about $55,000,000. 2 Yet II we're going to have the kind of gasoline we're accustomed to-in sufficient quantities-somtont has to put up the refineries. Obviously, it's more fun to spend your money on something you can consume yourself than on something that produces goods for other people. 3 Yet II everyone did that, we'd all soon be walking. So in order to get people to i;trsf their money in refineries instead of spending it, our economic system offers them a re ward in the form of interest or profit. 4e At Union Oil, lor example, 32,227 Americans have put up the money to provide the oil wells, tools, refineries, etc., in order that some 519,000 Union Oil customers may get gasoline. For investing their money this way, instead of ipending it, they get profits in the form of dividends. mm' 5e During the last ten years the earnings on the net capital invested in the company averaged 5rc. Now this cap ital could have been raised-as it is in socialistic countrics by automatically assessing ell the people through govern ment ownership. But we Americans do it on a voluntary basis. 6 For that way we can preserve the freedom of the indi vidual, the efficiency of a free economy and that all-important human incentivc-comJriiinn. Our profit system isn't perfect yet. But it has given us the highest standard of living and the greatest capacity for production the world has ever known.
