Social Security
Must Be Told oi
Estimate Change
People receiving social se
curity benefits who gave esti
mates of 1963 earnings should
notify Social Security if the
estimates have now changed,
according to Edward B. Ja
cobson, district manager in
Medford.
All beneficiaries who filed
applications this year, and
those who filed reports of
1962 earnings, have made the
estimates.
Jacobson said the estimates
are important because they
are used to determine the
number of benefit checks pay
able for the year. Benefici
aries who now expect to earn
more than they originally esti
mated may receive more
checks than they are entitled
to draw this year. They
would later have to make re
fund of the overpayment.
Those who expect to earn
Jess than they originally esti
mated may not be paid as
many checks as they are en
titled to receive during the
year, unless they file a re
vised estimate, Jacobson said.
Not all estimates need to be
changed. Hie person who esti
mated that he would earn
less than S1.200 in 1963, who
still estimates earnings under
$1,200, heed not notify Social
Security of any change in esti
mate. As long as the earnings
are $1,200 or less, all checks
will be payable for the year.
Jacobson invited benefici
aries who wish more informa
tion on the effect their earn
ings have on their benefits to
get in touch with the Social
Security office at 1017 North
Riverside ave., Medford, for
assistance.

COMPANY OFFICIALS - Among the many

As Cool As a Cucumber
Picked From Refrigerator
He must have investigated
the patch at night, that imagi
native individual who first
said, "As cool as a cucumber,
for later observations just
don't bear out his findings.
Yet, there would seem to have
been some reason for such a
statement. Somebody, some
where, some time, either
goofed or was just plain reck
less with the trutn.
Since then, there probably
have been many folks that
have made observations in the
field or the garden and dis
covered the error. They have
found there is little real truth
to the saying unless reserva
tions are made which would
tend to cancel out the whole
business.
Take a field, or a garden
where cucumbers are gowing,
plump and green under the
summer sun. These vegetables
must have summer sun or at
least a fair degree of warmth,
not a single one will be "as
cool as;" in fact, they will be
pretty warm, even those hid
ing under the partial snaae
of the leaves. Those in the di
rect sunlight will be actually
hot.
So someone with a flair for
realism will say, "Sure they
are cool, lake one out of the
refrigerator and feel how nice
and cool it is." This certainly
was not the incentive that
prompted the saying. A milk
bottle under similar circum
stances would be just as cool
and we have never heard any
one say, "As cool as a milk
botllc." So we must assume
the guy that coined the ex
pression must have picked the
cucumber right off the vine.
And he sure was wrong.
Still Exists
Yet the saying exists, even
among folks who never saw
a cucumber except in a groc
ery store or cut up in a salad.
To find out how very familiar
the expression really is, walk
up lo anyone above the age
of 10 years and say, "As cool
as" and they will immediate
ly fill in the last of the sen
tence "a cucumber." j
This popular fruit (and it
is classed as a fruit as well as
a vegetable) is a rather inter
esting member of the garden
family with some peculiar
characteristics. It even has
been the basis of some silly
superstitions and cockeyed be
liefs. There were some misin
formed folks, a few decades
ago, who believed the cucum
ber should be allowed lo soak
overnight in salt water to re
move the poison they had
heard was present in the
fruit. Equally silly was the
other school that maintained
all the green of the rind must
be removed before the 'cuke'
was eaten; they thought the
green held some sort of poi
son. Just how or why these ri
diculous beliefs were gener
ated has never been explain
ed. It is however somewhat

surprising that there are still
a few people that slill believe.
Some Are True
There are, however, some
peculiar cucumber habits and
characteristics that are true,
yet rather strange. For one,
if cucumbers are left on the
vine until they become yel
low, which indicates ripeness,
the vine will stop producing
cucumbers. Yet, if the 'cukes'
are picked regularly before

Cucumbers are only edible
when they are green and im
mature. Bees pollinate the
blossoms of the cucumber
plants. Without the aid of the
insects, a condition that exists
in hothouses, hand pollination
is resorted to. The cucumber
came from southern Asia In
the first place, but since has
been crossed and improved by
plant scientists. Another pe
culiar thing about a cucumber
is the odor which is individ
ual and hard to describe.
Anyway, we will have to
ride along with the old ex
pression as it is much too late
to be truthful about it by
saying, "It's NOT as cool as
