the Public Employes Retirement
Byslcm, the state's retirement plan
for state and local government
workers, so they can come under
federal Social Security.
'Hie Public Employes Retirement
System was set up by the Legisla
ture In 11149 and went Into cllect
July 1, 104(1. Under It government
employes put In a certain percent
age of their salary each monlh to
ward their eventual retirement.
The percentage la based generally
on the age of the employe at the
time he comes under the plan, so
that older workers, nearer the re
tirement age of 60 have to -pav
a greater precentage Into the fund
than younger employes.
Some pay as much as 10 per
cent, and the minimum is about .'
per cent. The plan is supposed to
build up a fund for each employe
so that upon retirement he or shr
can draw from the fund an a mourn
approximately half salary.
The employing agency In ttilr

per cent of the employe contribution.
Social Security payrol deduc

li per cent from the employe's
salary, up to 3,600 a year, con
siderably less than the cost of the
stale plan, and the benefits In the
long run may be as great or great,

Says Mrt. William Harding. 3312 S.W.
Spring Garden St., Portland, Oregon.
"1 have been an ardent user of Mrs.
Stewart's Bluing for years and am very
pleased with the rrults. I'm especially
pleased at how well Mrs. Stewart! keeps
the baby't things white!"
Mrs. Stewart's Bluing is a laundry
necessity for really white clothes . . .
use it in either an automatic or regular
washer. It's jo economical . . . less than
a penny a wash! A bottle, too, in your
bathroom keeps your "hand-washables"
sparkling.
Compare Mrs. Stewart's with any kind
of bluing at any price. Like Mrs. Hard
ing, you 11 find it does the best job for the
least cost! Get it at your grocery store.
For sheer enjoyment of a truly
fine ice cream, serve Arden
"Flavor-Fresh". Its smooth tex

present a new taste thrill ... a
treat to those who know and
appreciate -the best ice creams.
Serve it often . . . it's the per
fect dessert for every occasion.
