Then the last of the group went downtown to look at 4-H windows. The paffy Dills had one at the Central Point H b r a r y. Refreshments were served by Carolyn Sidener. Cathy Anhorn, Reporter. Births commission again recently and requested that such a reg ulation be included in the subdivision ordinance now in effect. An opinion rendered by former Chief Deputy District Attorney Gerald Scannell last July said this is a matter more for zoning and should not come under a subdivision or dinance. Blight Serious "However, it would seem logical to place this control under a subdivision ordinance rather than zoning," the plan ning commission letter stated. "Such control should be exer cised over pear trees on indi vidual lots as blight can se riously affect commercial or chards." Pear growers had recom mended the amendment. The county horticultural agent said that pear trees are not good shade trees for homes since this area has a pear psylla infestation problem. This insect causes a honey dew to form on the trees and also on the ground under the trees. The insect soon defoli ates the trees, he added. Homeowners do not take proper care of pear trees, he explained, and allowing such an infestation in backyard pear trees endangers nearby commercial orchards. Scannell had stated such a provision would be discrimi natory since it pertains only to pear trees and not to other fruit trees. Request Denied The Jackson county court, after reading Scannell's opin ion, turned down the previ ous request from the Jackson county planning commission which requested an amend ment to the subdivision ordi nance regarding pear trees. "Requiring removal of pear trees from any property un der plat for subdivision is not proper," the attorney had written. "It is more properly part of zoning and land use regulations rather than of a subdivision ordinance." 'This is similar to requir ing a tree planting program and plans of dedication and certain set back lines. This is held to be an exercise of emt nent domain rather than of police powers of the state; Scannell wrote. GRADUATES Airman 3'c .Tnrrv T? Sol. leek, son of Mr. and Mrs. Wil liam E.

Obituaries A disabled worker drawing federal social security bene fits who returns to work de spite severe handicaps will now continue to receive his monthly payments for as long as 12 months, according to Edward B. Jacobson, district manager of the Medford so cial security office. He explained that one of the new provisions of the so cial security act corrected an inequity in the law. Prior to October, 1960, only those dis abled persons who were undergoing rehabilitation un der a state approved program were paid benefits during a 12-month trial period o: em ployment. Now those who rehabili tate themselves or arc under any other rehabilitation plan may get payments up to one year during a trial work per iod, Jacobson said. Notified Social Security In many instances prior to the change in the law, dis abled beneficiaries notified the social security office that they had returned to work and their checks were auto matically stopped. Then it was discovered by the bene ficiary himself that he could not continue to work and was forced to quit. In the mean Lime, checks were not being received and many cases of hardship were noted. It is to prevent these occurrences that the law has been chang ed, Jacobson noted. Disability benefits are paid to disabled workers and their families only when the work er is so severely disabled that he is unable to engage in sub stantial gainful activity. Once he has recovered sufficiently to enable him to work, bene fits cease. Where there is rea sonable doubt that the indi vidual has been sufficiently rehabilitated to permit him to w o r k, payments will be continued up to one year even though he Ii working on a trial basis. This proviiion In the law is designed to encourage dis abled individuals to seek re habilitation and eventually return to gainful activity. Jacobson also said that not withstanding the trial work period provision, those get ting disability monthly pay ments must report to the So cial Security administration Immediately when they re turn to work.
