Farmers Reminded of Social Security Law There are still many self- employed farmers who may not be aware of their rights and obligations under the so cial security law, according to Edward B. Jacobson, man ager of the Medford social security district office. The law provides that self- employed farmers must report and file social security tax returns if their net earnings are $400 or more a year from their farm. In addition, a farmer whose profits are less than $400 has certain options in reporting the income derived from his farming activities, Jacobson said that if a farmer's gross income Is be tween $600 and $1,800, he may count as his net earnings for social security purposes either the actual profits, if at least $400, or two-thirds of his gross farm income, even if he had a loss for the year. ' ' , Mora Than $1,800 Or, he added, if his gross farm income is more than $1,800 and his net profit is less than $1,200, he may re port either $1,200 or his ac tual net earnings. Jacobson pointed out that the payment of social security taxes is compulsory if a farm- er nets a profit of $400 or more, and he added that farm operators who overlooked the optional methods of the law still have time to report their Public Hearings Continued By Planning Commission The Medford city planning commission Thursday night continued public hearings on three requests for changes of zone pending completion of a study on land-use at the new freeway, interchanges. All three requests related to properties located near pro posed interchanges. The com mission has expressed a do sire to control the type of de velopment near the inter changes. It has spent several months studying the problem. Commission Chairman Paul Selby said the commission is not yet ready to make a deci sion. He noted that the deci sion of the commission on any one of the requests would set a ' major policy." Decision Anticipated Selby said he "anticipates' a decision on land use near interchanges by the next meeting and said action on the requests will probably be taken at the commissions January meeting. In other action, the commis sion recommended denial of a request for a use variance from the Century building, The building's management told the commission it desires to establish a barber shop and earnings tor the years start ing with 1957. A farmer who does not re port his earnings for these back years will lose social security credit toward future benefits, Jacobson said. Since the amount of old age, disability, and survivors benefits is directly based on average earnings under social security, it is important lo file tax returns on time and to show all farm income and expenses fully and correctly. F?Worlds iAround a private club in the building. Commission Member El- wood Hedberg Jr., said both a barber shop and the private club would be "incompatible" with the commission s Inter pretation of uses allowed un der the multiple-family zone, in which the building is located. All four members present at the meeting - Selby, Hed berg, Jack Edson and Charles Crary - voted against the re quest. The recommendation will go to the city council for final consideration. Hearings Are Called Three public hearings were called by the commission and scheduled for its Dec. 8 meeting. One of the hearings will be on a request from Betty M. Callison for a variance to the setback requirements at 542 Mae st. .

Watkins Local Woman Hurt In Traffic Mishap Dorothy Feme Dynge, 47, of 304 Chestnut st., received a slight cut on her mouth when the vehicle she was driving struck a parked car on a Medford street Friday morning, according to city police.

Morse Denies Hard Feelings Washington - IUPII - Sen. Wayne Morse, (D-Ore.), denied Friday that he planned to be a roadblock to the new admin istration because of reported hard feelings between him and President-elect John F, Kennedy over the Oregon pri mary. 'Nothing is further from the truth," Morse said in a statement. "S e n. Kennedy never made me any promise not to enter the . . . primary, nor have I ever 'confided' to anyone that he did. "Moreover, I made clear throughout the Oregon pri mary campaign that if Sen. Kennedy were nominated by the Democratic party, he would have my unqualified support." Morse said he made good on that pledge by giving more than 50 speeches for Kennedy In the eastern slates and 22 speeches in Oregon. Salem-IUPII-Attorncy Gener al Robert Y.

CALL US FOR A DEMONSTRATION OF THE BOHN CONTEX CALCULATOR IN YOUR HOME OR OFFICE Terms, Of Course! Want To Know the Weather? Just Ask the Ants The weather report seemed unusually positive, even avoided the use of the words "probable and local." For once rained seemed certain. This was just the situation we had been waiting for; we hurried out to the anthills we had previously located and marked. In fact, we had gone a little further; we had actual ly fenced in the area. We didn't want a careless foot lo destroy the ant colonics. The ants were busy as usual. Steady columns of the little creatures were coming and going, some carrying bits of food, other removing debris and small pebbles from the burrows. As we watched them we felt a little sad; there they were, performing their regu lar tasks. Two came out tug ging a tiny pebble; it had probably fallen in a passage way, and they nad been de tailed to remove it. Unaware of Rain They all seemed ignorant of the fact that soon a heavy rain would come and flood their entire workings. The work of the colony was going forward in its orderly way; evidently the stupid little creatures had not yet received the word," for we were ex pecting them to be scaling up their diggings in preparation for the flood the weather re port promised was to come. Within an hour heavy clouds rolled up. and soon the sky was completely overcast. It seemed the weather report was "right on the nose"; stu pid of the silly ants to con tinue their regular work. Gradually the dark clouds rolled across the heavens; no rain fell; the ants kept on working. We figured they were just lucky this time. Another Visit Then one day when we were again at the anthills watching, we noticed an unusual amount of activity. Things had speeded up; ants rushed here and there; at first we thought they had been disturbed. Things seemed to be in re verse; the regular procedure was not being followed. It took us a little while to realize what was going on; the insects seemed lo be scal ing up one tunnel or passage way opening after another. The work progressed rapidly, Suddenly there were no ants in evidence at all; every tun nel opening was tightly closed. A little later we found Ihe barometer had fallen, and within a few minutes the rain came down in torrents. Bv some unexplained weather - sense, more exact than any weather report, the ant colony had received the word to close up shop and to seal all the entrances and the exits.
