She went directly to the little one room school at Bloody Point where she arned the magnificent salary of 542 a month for teaching 14 students their ABCs around wood stove in the center ot the building. With a sister Dorothy, after teaching began to pall, she opened one of the first dressmak g shops in Klamath Falls, in the old Navigation building and fashioned frocks of silks and tins for the belles of the town in the Margreiter Sisters Dressmaking Parlors.

IHIKIV TIIS By E. G. GARDKNKR ell, if you missed the Inst nicet- ot the Evergreen Garden Club senior branch, that is you la Inly missed a most interest talk on insects by Joe Schuh. lp nas it that Joe is one ol the ranking entomologists on the vie Coast, and after hearing talk, you know It s true. Irst he scares you to death by tig that there can be as many Lvcnty generations ol aphis born fcg one summer, and then re- the damace to your garden- enthusiasm by telling what to ibout them. has a most interesting ' ex of insects the villains all fully mounted In one group, the in another. i.st summer you couldn't have me on the idea that there were bu-heroes. but Joe says there For instance, there's the Id lion, a dainty looking green- reaiure with transparent wings dines on aphis with relish. there's the big eyed b u g, fee eyes are really and truly biggest part of him: or the el bug, the ambush bug. tassassin bug, together with flower Hies.

You tell 'her" by her small sine i mt as big as a penny, and by , snnrp points on the upper i. Then there are the little hoppers and, oil well, the best thing is seeing them. If you have a chance to see Joe's collec tion or hear talk, jiuf a red ring around the date and don't miss it. My catalogues are beginning to come In. rnere s just nothing like them for interest, is there? The only thing that puts a damper on my enthusiasm is tiic fact that the income tax blnnks are here too. Probably a good thing, or I'd find myself ordering about twice as many seeds as I have room for. One of my New Year's resolution is to sit down and plan my gar den before I order any more new plants. All the best authorities on landscaping recommend that as the first step. I've done my guv den once before, but I've added a little more ground since then, and mndo some changes In the paths so it's time to do It again. Here's a tip for vou if you are planning the same thing, Use onion skin paper to draw your plans. You can plot out the arrangements ol the Dowel's, nd color them with crayola, then h you don't like the effect you get, or lind a combina tion later that you like better, you can era.se the crayola from the onion skin paper quite easily. Members and friends of the sen ior branch of the Evergreen Gar den Club have a real treat in store for them next Monday evening when the senior branch holds its regular monthly mueetlng at AHa mont Junior High School. Joe Schuh, who really "knows his stuff" when it comes to Insects, has agreed to talk to the club on his pet subject. Joe has his master's degree in En tomology from the Oregon State i College at Corvallls, and plenty of actual experience in the field. For u number of years he was a mem ber of the college experimental staff. He specialized on insects that attack trees and shrubs and how to control them. Later he and a partner started a .business of their own, working out of Walla Walla and Gvcsham that was chiefly di reeled toward bug-control in the smaller fruits such as strawber ries. Now Joe has his own business here, specializing in diseases of potatoes and clover. With that background, he will have a good deal to offer, especially on such pests as red spider, if our won derful, mild winter continues, we are very likely to need some ad vice on such things. Insect -pests are always worse following an open sea.ion. When you stop to think that the roses haven't even bothered to shed their leaves, that violas and arabis and pansles are In bloom, that the primroses are showing bright, new leaves, and the birds are flitting about with feathers and strings trailing I torn their beaks looking the housing situation over, it seems like March instead of the lost days of December. Don't forset to check your gar den for signs ol heaving. Keep the earth and mulching material pulled up over the exposed roots. Just remember, 't isn't really March yet and the ground-hog still hasn't put his final OK on Spring. All Women Should Study Stake in FOA Editor's Note: This is the sixth m a series of articles on the bene fits of social security, slanted for women and written by Everett Eaton, manager of the local so cial security office. Last week we discussed the in surance benefits received by a re tired worker and his wife as well as tho beneiits payable to n widow and minor children. Today let's see what other types of iiiiiurunco ben efits are payable. a lump sum death navmcnt is made in practicallv evorv mw upon the death of a fully or current ly insured individual. The amount of the lump sum death payment is equal to three times the primary insurance amount, comnuieri fmm the deceased's wage record by the same methods we learned last wee. This payment is made to the surviving widow or widower, pro viding such person was living with the deceased at time of death. If no widow or widower survived, then the payment is made to the person who pays the funeral ex penses of the deceased. In this case the funeral expenses must be paid and receipted bills presented at the time the claim is filed. The amount of the lump sum death payment never exceeds three limes the primary amount regard less of the size of the funeral bill; however, if the funeral bill is less than three times the primary amount, only the total amount of I the funeral bill will be paid at the lump sum payment. 1 III u sum payment Is paid to the surviv ing widow or widower without re gard to the payment of funeral ex penses. A widow receiving monthly insurance benefits for herself and her minor children will also re ceive the lump sum payment. A widow 65 or older Is entitled to monthly benefits based on her deceased husband's wage record providing she was living with him at the time of his death and has not remarried. Her beneiits will be equal to a4 of his primary insur ance benefit and will continue the rest of her life unless she remar ries. Your husband may be eligible for husband's insurance benefits under certain circumstances.

You ean be paid for as many as six months retro actively from the month in which you file your claim; if you were eligible for payments for months prior to the six-months period, you lost benefits by not filing your claim sooner. As an example, a young lady called at the office this week to inquire about benefits for her two young children. After talk ing to her we found out that her husband had died in April, 1952, and that she had remarried a year later. Since she has remarried we the year prior to her remarriage; !
