Social Security Payments On Dec. 31 Were $242,945 A total of 4,748 retired indicid uals more than 65 years of age and survivors of deceased in sured individuals were receiving $242,945 monthly in social se curity benefits in Jackson county as of Dec. 31. 1956, W. V. Nus baum, manager of the Medford office of the Social Security ad ministration, has announced. This is an increase of 603 beneficiares and $35,722 in monthly payments over the same date in 1955. The largest group receiving payments consisted of retired workers of whom there were 2,859 receiving $170,780 per month. Other groups and the amounts received were wives, 837, $26, 180; children under 18, 591, $23, 635; widows 359, $17,350; moth ers, 95, $4,665. Noting that coverage under the Old Age and Survivors In surance program has increased rapidly in recent years, Nus baum pointed out that three fourths of the men becoming 65 this year will be eligible for so cial security benefits. Of all peo ple over 65 years of age, 62 per cent are now drawing benefits or will be entitled to draw them when their income stops. He also pointed out that while the original law covered only about 26 million workers, as of March 1957 approximately 55.5 million people were in work covered by the law, and more than 9 out of every 10 persons who work for a living and 9 out of 10 mothers and children have a stake in the social security in surance program. ' Oreeon ranks sivth amnna 1h 48 stales in the percentage of people over 65 receiving benefits under the Old Age and Survivors Insurance Droeram. hoin v. ceeded only by four New Eng land states and New Jersey, Nus baum said. The national averaee of persons over 65 receiving pay ments as of Dec. 31 was 479 per 1,000 whereas the number in Oregon was 575. The Medford office of the So cial Security administration services Jackson and Josephine counties and is located at 33 North Riverside ave. Residents Warned Of 'Buy-Back' Scheme Don McNeil, manager of the Jackson County' Chamber of Commerce, Saturday warned residents of Medford and Jack son county about Lincoln penny coin albums currently being ad vertised under a "buy-back" lure. He stated that In a typical ad vertisement, the reader is at tracted by such a heading as. "We pay $16 for only 59 Lincoln pennies." Readers are told to send $1 for a Lincoln coin al bum, return the complete album and receive $16 by return air mail plus $1 back for the album McNeil noted the reader is not advised that the coins necessary to complete the album must bear specified mint marks, or, in some cases, the initials of the engraver. It was pointed out that established dealers offer to pay more than $16 for just one coin in top condition and the cham her manager said, "Anyone with a complete set of these coins, in any condition, would be foolish to sell it for $16." Possible violations of postal laws are also indicated in this type of scheme.

Officers to serve in the town if incorporation is approved will be elected at the same time. A dissenting vote on the elec tion issue was cast by Supervisor Clint Jackson. He said his "no" vote was based on objection to the board's rejection of all peti tions for withdrawal in one mo tion. He said that action caused a few of the proposed with drawals a hardship. Supervisor W. C. Ealy replied he thought the good of the ma jority was more important than consideration only of the minor ity. The area will vote on five councilmen. a clerk and a treas urer as well as the incorporation matter. Undersea Cable to Hawaii Is Planned San Pedro. Calif.
