On The Side
By E. V. Durling
(Distributed by King Faaturaa Svadicjt. Inc.)
From where we are domiciled
for the summer I took the good
old Jersey Central into New
York. Although a commuter of
much past experience, I am out
of : training. Have been using
the high speed auto highways.
So I thought I might find the
train trip a little rugged. I
didn't. I enjoyed it immensely.
First Slop
' ' The first stop was at Little
Silver, N.J. That is where "Dia
mond Jim" Brady and Lillian
Russell disembarked to go to
the Monmouth race track. Jim
and Lillian had a lot in com
mon. They both loved racing.
Incidentally. Jim owned that
great handicap horse named
Gold Heels. For Gold Heels 132
pounds was just a feather. Lil
lian was a great horseplayer.
She bet a thousand dollars a
race. Both Jim and Lillian
were very fond of food. After
the races they dined in Long
Branch. Lillian could eat right
long with "Diamond Jim." No
diet for her. At the time of
which I speak, Lillian weighed
165 pounds but she was still re
ferred to as "The American
Beauty."
Aaldno, . .i
Queries from clients, . Q ..So
you say there should be no to
matoes In New England clam
chowder. What do you, a
Brooklynite, know about it? A. I
spent eight years In New Eng
land in Massachusetts, Maine,
Connecticut and New Hamp
shire. I know plenty about New
England clam chowder. Get it
right No tomatoes!
Streamlining
Joan Crawford, still very well
streamlined, continues to main
tain that she scrubs floors as an
aid to the preservation of her
youthful figure. Call this to the
attention of your wife if she has
been concerned about her ap
pearance in a bathing suit this
summer. Incidentally, I am
constantly asked to settle argu
ments as to Miss 'Crawford's
age. I don't know what it is
However, I understand Joan
made her entertainment debut
as a dancer Iri Chicago in 1922
in a revue titled "Innocent
Eyes." which was produced by
Ernie Young.
Please Not ,
What is the oldest newspaper
in the United States? How about
the Newport, R. I., Mercury, es
tablished in 1758, just about
200 years ago? This newspaper
was founded by John Franklin,
elder brother of Ben.
Lively Town
The train paused at Red Bank.
That is one of the few places in
this country where ice boat
races can really travel. They
have achieved a speed as high
as- 144 miles an hour. The
Schrewbury river at Red Bank
is also a great motor boat racing
center. Guy Lombardo, the
bandmaster, a real speed boy in
a motor boat, won many races
there. Near Red Bank is Wood
land farm owned by Amory
Hoskeft. This farm is so large
that it is possible to hold an an
nual race meeting there of flat,
hurdle and steeplechase events.
And it is only 45 minutes from
Broadway.
Memories
The trip ended by ferry from
Jersey City to donwntown Man
hattan. I really enjoyed that.
Riding on New York harbor
awakens many pleasant mem
ories for me. One is that, as a
kid, I had a pal whose father
was a cook on a tugboat. On
Fire Covers 8 Acres
In Umatilla Forest
Pendleton flJ.R) A forest
fire covering more than eight
acres has been reported in the
Umatilla national forest in the
Kiah district at the north fork of
the John Day river about 75
miles south of here.
A light plane dropped fire
fighting equipment and supplies
to a ground parly of 15 men Sat
urday. The fire started Friday from
a lightning strike, but was not
believed to be serious at the
time. Late Friday rising winds
spread it over the eight acres.
The forest service ground party
was on the fire line all night.
A scouting plane continued to
fly over the Ukiah district this
morning to spot other possible
outbreaks.
Two small fires were reported
in the Dale district of the Uma
tilla forest Friday, but have been
brought under control.
Officials Tell Changes
In Social Security
(Editor's Note: The follow.
Ing is en of a sri of ar
ticles prepared by th -Social
Security Administration des
cribing the important changes
in the Social Security, law
enacted by Congress this year.
According to the local Social
Security office, they will af
fect more than 600 women in
Jackson and Josephine coun
ties, some 200 or 300 disabled
persons, and an unknown but
considerable number of law
yers, dentists and other pro
fessional peopl as well as
farmers.)
many Saturdays We would
spend the day on this boat. We
really covered the harbor and
the waterfront. Then, of course,
as my pal's father was the cook,
we dined very well. Some fun!
Horses and Women
What rates as the most ridic
ulous feminine style of the 20th
century? My nomination is the
so called "hobble skirt." Now
it is reported that style is going
to be revived. If you don't know
what a hobble skirt is, ask your
grandma to draw you a picture
of one. If the hobble skirt
achieves current popularity, I
am definitely going to give up
trying to understand women
and devote my time to trying
to understand horses.
Important changes were made
in the old-age and survivors in
surance program as a result of
Social Security Amendments
which President Eisenhower
signed into law on Aug. 1.
Summary Given
Here is a summary of the
three most important changes:
(1) In September, benefits will
become payable to women when
they reach age 62.
Survivors benefits for widows
and, in certain cases, mothers of
deceased workers will start with
a payment for November which
will be received early in Decem
ber. The amount of the monthly
payment will be the same that
they would have started getting
at age 65 under the old law.
And in November, retired in
sured women workers and wives
of retired insured workers can
start getting benefit payments at
age 62. The amount will be
somewhat less than would have
been payable at age 65 under
the old law.
Disability Provision
(2) A change has also been
made in the total disability pro
vision. While the "disability
Ireeze provision which pro
tects the social security insur
ance rights of workers is con
tinued, monthly cash benefit
payments, beginning with July,
1957, will be made to totally
disabled workers when they
reach age 50. Beginning with
January 1957 monthly benefits
will be payable to s disabled un
married child, even after the
child has reached age 18, if the
child was disabled since before
he reached 18 and is the depend
ent child of a retired or deceased
parent, step-parent, or adopting
parent who is eligible for old
age insurance benefits under so
cial security, or was insured for
the purpose of survivors bene
fits at the time of his or her
death.
(3) Other important changes
in the law affect Iarmers. both
employed and self-employed and
professional men. While there
have been no changes in farm
ers' old-age and survivors insur
ance benefit rates, but there are
changes in the way benefits can
be figured and the time neces
sary to become insured for pay
ments. '
New Groups Corered
Newly-covered groups ire
lawyers, dentists, chiropractors,
veterinarians, naturopaths, os
teopaths, and optometrists. Oth
er recent legislation provides
for the extension of social se
curity on a permanent contribu
tory basis after 1956 to mem
bers of the armed services on
active duty.
Some of the changes are ret
roactive to the beginning of
1956, others will become effec
tive next November: still others
will go into effect Jan. 1, 1957;
and one becomes effective July
1, 1957.
Growers May Apply
For Rebate on Lime
Jackson county growers whose
soil tests indicate a need for
lime to correct soil acidity may
apply under the A-4 conserva
tion program and secure a 50
per cent rebate on the cost of
lime, cost of lime delivery and
cost of application, according to
W. B. Tucker, county agricul
ture agent.
Tucker said this service ap
plies to any legume, alfalfa,
clover, vetch or lotus, which is
needed and producing in 1956-57.
Since 60 per cent of soil sam
ples so far tested in Jackson
county show need of one-half
to two tons of lime per acre.
many farmers would profit by
taking advantage of the service,
he said. :
