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.

Date for Happy Camp
Election Scheduled
Happy Camp The Siskiyou
county board of supervisors Fri
day approved a resolution setting
the date for an incorporation
election at Happy Camp for
Tuesday, Sept. 24.
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.
