"Thousands" of letters are in volved, according to an an nouncement Wednesday. Havana is about 90 minutes flying time Earnings Over $100 Must Be Reported Medford officials of the Social Security administration have em phasized that earnings amount ing to more than $100 cash by farm laborers are reportable for social security purposes. Officials said they have re ceived reports of misunderstand ing concerning fruit growers re garding the status of employees hired on a "piecework" basis during picking season. Earnings by "piecework" employees are reportable, they said. They said a farm worker is an employee for social security pur poses if he earns $100 in cash wages during one calendar year whether earned by the month, week, day, hour or at "piece work" rates. this superb sweetener for use in hundreds of delicious ways, in cluding these: This basic recipe will turn out a tangy, fresh flavored lemon-honey-nut bread for slicing, for sandwiches, for any day-time or evening party occasion; fine for school lunches, mid-afternoon snacking.

Busy Honey Bees are Efficiently Experts Let's take a mintue from our (busy) lives and consider the efficiency of real experts at being busy. A look at any Cal ifornia honey factory reveals 60,000 or so bees, each one a specialist, efficiently contribut ing to the colony's food, shelter and protection. . Whether we realize it or not honey bees, are responsible for much of our state's economy. They pollenize all of our fruit, berries, melons as well as the roses, alfalfa and clover. As weather warms up in the spring and blossoms pop out, the bee conolny swings into action. The queen bee sets to work laying eggs, one egg to an empty cell in the wax comb. The workers divide up the household chores. One group has nothing to do but see that the queen is well fed. The food supply of honey and pollen is given local delivery by another group of workers from different parts of the comb where it has been stored. The scouts, members of the scouting force, are assigned the task of flying out to locate flowers with nectar sweet enough for making honey; find ing same, they make a bee line back to the hive directing the delivery workers to the discov ered tree or patch of flowering plants. These turn over their burdens to some of the girls in the warehouse who stow away pollen; others make delivery to the nectar-receiving specialists. Space doesn't permit our going into the love life of bees, but 'tis a fascinating study.
