According to a statement to-Au-a
hv Howard J. Nelson, man
ager of the Klamath Falls field
office, the Social Security Board
has set itself the goal of seeing
ihat wrv worker and his family
get all the benefits for which
they are cligiblo under Ola-Age
and Survivors Insurance.
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,

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

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.
The Social Security board Is
making a country-wide effort to
point out to' workers and their
families that there are two oc
casions on which a visit should
be made to tho local office of

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.

Wild Life Reported
More Plentiful I n
Rogue Valley Area
State police game wardens re
port deer, Chinese pheasants and
quail in the Rogue River valley
are now more plentiful in all
sections than last year. 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.

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.
