Social Security
O Persons past 65 years of age
who have sufficient -employment
to be eligible for social security
benefits, but have not filed for
benefits because they are still
working, may receive full or
partial benefits for the year if
1955 wages were suincientiy
low.
' W. V. Nusbaum, manager of
the Medford social security of
fice, said he believes there are
people who could receive bene
fits for 1955 who do not un
derstand the new retirement
test in the law.
Any individual past 65 years
during the entire year, who has
had sufficient covered employ
ment or self employment to be
eligible for benefits can re
ceive benefits for the entire
year If his total earnings did
not exceed $1,200. Partial bene
fits are possible if his total
earnings did not exceed $2,080.
O Regardless of the amQunt of
earnings in certain months of
the year, a beneficiary can get
benefits payments for those
months in which he neither
earns more -than $80 in wages
nor renders substantial services
in self-employment, Nusbaum
stated.

able at the social security ad
ministration office, 33 North

Lowry Says Farmers
Alarmed Oyer Sharp
Stale Tax Increase
Salem (U.R! A study of the
impact of state taxes on farmers
was ordered Saturday by the
Legislative Interim committee
on Taxation.
Sen. Philip B. Lowry of Med
ford told the committee headed
by Sen. Rudie Wilhelm Jr. of
Portland that Oregon farmers
are alarmed over-the sharp in
creases in their state taxes.
"We hear a great deal about
the impact of higher taxes 'on
Oregon individual and corpora
tion but we have not heard about
the farmers," Lowry said.
Discuss Situation
"However, there have been
many area meetings throughout
the state where the farmers have
gathered and discussed the tax
situation with which they are
confronted."
Lowry said that the increased
taxes on farm property proved
particularly alarming due to the
general slump in farm prices.
Wilhelm instructed T h u r e
Lindstrom Jr., tax analyst for
the committee, to confer with
staff members of Oregon State
college who have gathered con
siderable data on the farm tax
problem in Oregon, and report
to the committee at its next
meeting. ,
Locate Inequities
"It is not likely that our com
mittee will come up with any
thing spectacular," he said, "but
we are trying to locate any in
equities in the present tax laws
and at the same time learn if
there any legitimate sources of
tax revenue which are being
overlooked."
Among sub-committee studies
to be made is a comparison of
the Oregon tax rates as they
affect persons in various income
brackets with taxes imposed on
the same groups in neighboring
states.'
Medical Sociely
Urges Prevention
Of Home Accidents
Accidents during 1956 will
kill an estimated 20,000 chil
dren, according to a spokesman
for the Jackson County Medical
society, which has urged resi
dents to assist in helping pre
vent accidents.
"Since the discovery of won
der drugs, the death rate from
infection in children has drop
ped sharply," the spokesman
said, "but the death rate from
trauma, wounds and accidents
has risen just as sharply."
Accidents Leading Cause
Accidents are the leading
cause for death of children over
a year old, and some 30 per
cent of all child deaths in the
country will be from accidents,
according to a statement by the
society.
Burns make up a sizeable
part of the 30 per cent, accord
ing to the society, and at least
two serious burns have occurr
ed in children in Jackson county
in the past month.
.Discussing preventive mea
sures, the statement recom
mends that parents not allow
matches, table lighters, and sim
ilar objects within the reach of
children. It also recommends a
booklet," "Your Chrid and
Safety," which is available by
writing the Metropolitan Life
Insurance company, 1 Madison
avenue, New York.
Assist in Prevention
Merchants assist in accident
prevention by buying apparel
from manufacturers complying
with the federal flamable fab
rics act, the statement said.
Physicians in the medical
society are "deeply concerned"
over recent accidents in the area
and "wish to stress that in acci
dent, prevention is the only
cure."
Intend To Assess
Excise Tax Against
Public Utilities '
NEW BUSINESS One of the new and more unusual businesses
in Medford which : indicates the growth and prosperity of the
valley is the Northwest Swimming Pool company, 712 South
Grape st. The business is operated by John Chepin and Max Han
sen and since they arrived here last fall they have installed eight
swimming pools. Pictured above are the men as they apply gun
nite concrete to reinforcing steel in a pool under construction. The
gunnite mixture is sprayed under pressure directly to the steel.
This new process excludes the use of forms, a heretofore costly
process in installation of pools. The men also service pools which
already have been constructed and have been commissioned to
construct numerous others for the coming year. They have lo
cated here permanently, to continue construction and service.

Salem (U.R) Public power
advocates were told here Fri
day that the State Tax commis
sion intends to assess corporate
excise taxes against publicly-
owned . utilities within the next
few months.
The commisison's intentions
were made known in a letter
from Tax Commissioner Ray
Smith to the Legislative Interim
Tax Study committee at the
opening of a two-day meeting
Attending the session were
public power representatives
from 10 cities. They had come
to argue against assessment of
taxes against publicly-owned
utilities. !
Utility Exemption Removed I
Smith's letter said the . 1955 ;
legislature had removed the i
utility exemption from the ex-!
cise tax and he interpreted the j
law to mean the exemption also i
had been removed from publicly
owned utilities as well. He said
he intended to canvass tax re
turns and make assessment
where the tax had not been paid.
Most of the public power in
terests represented argues
against any change in .the law j
exempting publicly-owned utili
ties from ad valorem taxes.
The committee said the prob
lem was not one of public vs.
private utilities, . but one of
equalization of taxes between
different areas.
Books Worth $100
Are Returned Here
Personal calls made by the
Medford Police department
have resulted in the return of
more than $100 worth of Med
ford public library books, ac
cording to library officials.
Police also found new ad
dresses for delinquent borrow
ers and clues toward location
of others who have moved out
of the county, officials .said.
Police action for overdue li
brary books is based on the
Oregon library law regarding
wilful detention of library pro
perty, which states that no
person shall wilfully or malic
iously detain any book, news
paper, magazine, pamphlet or
manuscript belonging to a law
city, county, school district
state or other public or incor-;
porated library for 30 days after j
notice in writing from the li-j
brarian . . . given after the ex
piration of time which by reg
ulations . . . such book may be
kept.
Violation is punishable by a
fine of not less . than $5 nor
more than $50 or by imprison
ment not exceeding six months.
The sheriff's office has agreed
to assist In cases o borrowers
residing in county areas out
side the city limits, library of
ficials said. Law enforcement
agencies are asked to cooperate
only after the library has ex
hausted its own resources in
efforts to recoer the property,
a spokesman said. '
