only thing that puts a damper on
my enthusiasm is tiic fact that the

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

crayola, then h you don't like the

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.

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

for husband's insurance benefits
