IMS ed hill a mile north of the town of Mount Shasta, an old rock building sets under a small clump of bushes, its rear end backed into the hill It is a powder magazine, known by its build and ap pearance to every person who ever saw many west e r n towns. Usually they are asso ciated with mining, or rail road buildings. This was used in neither. It was In comparative re cent days that need for a powder magazine came to Mount Shasta. It was in 1924 that the town, whose name had changed from Berryvale, to Sisson, to Mount Shasta, that, the citizens decided to have the streets paved so automobiles could travel with less hazard. These things were increas ing in popularity, so it was thought it might be well to encourage the trend. Contract Paving Job About that time a young man was beginning to con tract for paving Jobs. His name was Henry J. Kaiser, and while he was not well known, those who had seen him thought he had enter prise, and with encourage ment, might do all right. He was called in, given a con tract, and turned loose. Kaiser did quite well all right. He paved the town. He paved miles of U.S. Highway 90. He went to Cuba, and just about paved that island. By this time Kaiser was well known. He made con crete ships. He built hos pitals, mined aluminum, and made a lot of money.

OREGON TheyTl Do It Every Time Bot TO TOP . IT ALb-EVERYBODY FOR6OT THERE'S SUCH A THING AS AN INCOMING . TIDE ""END .'. OF BEACH PARTY PERIOD Medical Assistance to Aged Is Changed; The 1S63 session of the state legislature amended the medical assistance to the aged program to increase certain of the benefits and to relax eligibility requirements, Dav id Kuhnz, Jackson county public welfare administrator, explained Friday. The assistance program was established to provide medical assistance ' to aged persons of low Income. These people generally are able, to provide their own mainte nance except . for . medical care, Kuhnz noted. The program is financed by a combination of federal, state and county funds through the Kerr-Mills bill passed by Congress in May, 1961, and has been effective in, Oregon since Nov. 1, 1961. "Applications fell short of anticipating the first year, but there has been an up surge, especially in Jackson county, during 1963," Kuhnz said. "Local doctors and hos pitals have been, cooperative in Informing persons of . the rogram although -'there has been a laclr of publicity." ' Eligibility Requirement! ' 1 General eligibility require ments are: must live in Ore gon, be 65 years or over, are permitted an annual income of $1,780 if single and $2,900 if married, may have liquid assets of $1,500 for single per sons arid $2,000 for married couple The $1,750 for single per sons is an increase from $1,500. The $2,500 for a couple is an increase from $2,000, the welfare adminis trator noted. If the cost of chronic nursing care is being met, liquid assets must be ap plied toward this benefit down to $250 for a single person and $500 for a couple, Kuhnz explained. A beneficiary may own his own home and additional real property with a fair market value up to $5,000 subject only to claim after death of the recipient or spouse. Claim Clause The claim clause in the state law reads: "The slate has a claim against the estate of any deceased medicare ben eficiary for reimbursement only for the amount used through the plan. This claim does not encumber the prop erty during the lifetime of the beneficiary. He is free to sell it or dispose. of it in any way he wishes. The agency has no claim on the property until the death of the bene ficiary. "The claim Is not enforced against the home property so long as it continues to be occupied by the spouse. Sale of property to settle an estate is not forced. This claim is paid only if assets are re ceived from the estate after preferred claims have been met. Preferred claims include such items as expenses of last illness and burial, certain mortgages, nolos and taxes. Settlement from the estate is divided pro portionately among stale, federal and coun ty governments." Benefits otfered through medical assistance for the aged are on an annual basis. They include il) up to $500 for surgery, any place, paid in full according to welfare fee schedule, (2) all physician rare while hospitalized, (31 up to $100 laboratory and diag nostic x-ray services.
