Cattle Rustling Claimed Major Oregon Activity BAKER (UPI) -The Old West is not dead at least if you judge by the number of cattle t-'-.en 'jy rustlers every year. President Walter Schrock of the Oregon Cattlemen's Associ ation said Thursday there is more rustling on Oregon ranges today than there was 50 years ago. "Some officials in our judicial system don't even take this as a very serious ollense, ne com mented. "Fifty years ago we just strung 'em up...Nowadays the penalty paid by the culprits is small considering the value of the stock stolen," Schrock said. . Access Improved Rustling is easy now because, of trucks and improved access to ranges, the Prineville stock man said. He added that brand inspection is not very effective because rustlers take the cattle over state lines to sell them. He said efforts are being made to get federal prosecution in those cases. The stockmen were warned Thursday that the West could lose control of its land to East ern bureaucrats unless it applies some pressure in Washington. The words came from George Abbott, attorney for the Nevada Cattlemen's Association and for mer U.S. secretary of public land management. He said the West may find it self overrun by legislation created by people who have no idea of Western problems. He cited a pending three-year study of all laws applying to public domain in the West.

Social Securit Benefits Available Before Age 65 "You don't have to retire com pletely to get social security benefits," according to Edward B, Jacobson, district manager of social security in Medford. "Many people here in the Rogue Valley area are receiving benefits, even though they work regularly. In each of these cases, benefit amounts are adjusted according to the amount of earnings that the beneficiary reports," he said. According to Jacobson, a per son can be paid all his social security benefits if his earnings are $1,200 or less. For earnings between $1,200 and $1,700, $1 of benefits is withheld for each $2 earned. For all earnings above $1,700, $1 in benefits is with held for each $1 earned. Jacobson emphasized that persons who continue to work after they are 65 should get in touch with their social security office when they reach 65 to check their status under the pro gram. "Age 62 is also a time for peo ple to give a thought to social security," he added. It's pos sible for both men and women to take their benefits as early as 62 years of age. Of course, when benefits are claimed be fore 65, they are reduced some what from the benefit payable at age 65. Social security bene fits are payable at age 72 re- cardless of earninES. he said The Social security oiuce m Election Scheduled -In Rural Fire Area An election will be held in the Medford Rural Fire Pro tection District from 2 to 8 p.m., Monday, Dec. 2 at Oak Grove School to elect a director for a five-year term, according to C.

Gill, D.M.D. Professional Plata 650 Royal 1o the Medford Area and Announces the Opening of His Office for THE PRACTICE OF DENTISTRY TO THE ELIGIBLE VOTERS ON WEST SIDE MEDFORD IRRIGATION DISTRICT: We need your support in retaining fair representation on the Board of Directors of the Medford Irrigation District. To do so, you must re-elect Albert Hueners as your director. The undersigned, like you, have a vital interest in this election. Conse quently, we have investigated charges being leveled at Mr. Hueners and District administrators. We have reached the unanimous conclusion that charges of "mismanagement" are false, and rumors and innuendoes malicious and misleading, There is no denying that there has been friction on the Board. Conflicts, however, have not been created by Mr. Hueners, whose actions have been consistently with the majority and the Administration in the best interests of every user of the District. This entire campaign to "purge" Mr. Hueners, is, in enr opinion, an attempt on the part of a small group of individuals with selfish interests to gain control of the Board. If this small group can accomplish this, they can then manipulate the Board and gain the preferential treat ment which Mr. Hueners and a good Administration has steadfastly opposed as detrimental to the interests of the majority of ALL district water users. We, of other precincts also have a vital interest in this election. We urge you to exercise your right as a voter in protecting the interests of all the precincts within the District, by returning Mr. Hueners to an office in which he has served fairly, unselfishly, and well.
