less brush land to grass on
the Applegate Thursday.
1 The demonstration is sched
uled for 10 ajn. on Bill Pit-

creek. The demonstration is
sponsored jointly by the
Rogue Soil conservation dis
trict and the Jackson County
Stockmen's association.
The new method of elimi
nating brush by slicing
through the roots with a spe
cially designed plow and re-
seeding m the same operation
may be demonstrated in other
parts of Jackson county, Clem
Ault. conservationist for. the
Rogue Soil conservation dis

Armin Richter, president of
the Jackson Countv Stock-

two teaspoons of butter or for
tified margarine.
The price of a Type A
lunch, Acheson said, is 25
cents for elementary school
putfils and 30 cents for junior
and senior high students.
Weekly luncheon tickets (5
for $1.25) land monthly lunch
eon tickets (20 lunches for $5)
can be purchased, he said.
Less Than Cost
The lunches are served at
less than cost to the pupil, he
noted with the difference
made up by federal and state
subsidy of a few cents per
meal, by surplus commodities
furnished by the federal gov
ernment, and by the district's
contribution to overhead
costs.
Extra milk, other than that
included in the Type A plate
lunch, is sold at 3 cents per
half-pint. , This reduced price
is made possible through the
special school milk program,
which is designed to assist in
expanding dairy outlets by
encouraging increased milk
consumption of the school
child. - :
Through the special school
milk program, the district is
reimbursed up to 4 cents for
one-half pint of milk sold to
students. The price charged
the student is the dealer's
price per one-half pint less the
amount of reimbursement,
plus the school handling
charge.
Acheson invited parents of
pupils to visit and observe the

One of the goals of the So
cial Security administration
is to pay benefits as promptly
as possible to those persons
entitled to them.
To assist in maintaining a
regular income into the
household after retirement,
the public should be aware
of a policy being stressed by
the Social Security adminis
tration, Edward B. Jacobson,
district manager of the Med
ford office, said Saturday.
( To receive benefits prompt
ly after retirement, a worker
should file a claim for his ben
efits 30 to 60 days before re
tirements he knows he will
be retiring on a certain date.
This advance filing will give
the Social Security adminis
tration and the person claim
ing benefits ample time to get
information and evidence
necessary to establish settle
ment before the first check is
due. It will also afford a
widow and children who
might be eligible the oppor
tunity to file for dependent's
b-nefits.
Evidence Required
: Generally evidence will be
required to prove the age of
the retired person and his
wife. This may be a birth
certificate or baptismal rec
ord. If there is no such rec
ord available, any record that
is old and reliable may be
sufficient. If there is a child
under 18 or a child of any age
who was disabled before 18,
it will be necessary to have
a birth certificate for the
child, he said.
, Evidence of the worker's
earnings in the taxable year
ending before the date of re
tirement is also necessary.
This proof may be a copy of
the income tax withholding
statement (Form W-2) or a
copy of the income tax return
for the self-employed person.
By submitting this evidence
on the first visit to the social
security office future contacts
may be unnecessary, - Jacob
son said.
This plan has been highly
endorsed by large employers
who have retirement plans
supplementhtg social security
benefit, by labor unions and
by other organizations. : .
