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

Chase Smith, R-Maine.
Mrs. Melford E. Zinser, who
issued the invitation to leading
Illinois business women and

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.
