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. .
Another concerns a request

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.

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.
