The study meetings went on for the three days with one long din ner and fun frolic sake and too much food took the usual toll. But all in all it was a very suc cessful meeting. I can truthfully say that the Japanese educational circles accept me as a friend they are eager for my advise and shower me with kindness and respect. Many claim that the school library' is the healthiest of all the American educational practices in troduced during the Occupation, and I believe that may well be true. THREE DAYS LATER The Inland Sea la beautiful. If you will turn to the article bv Wil. lard Price in the November issue of National Geographic In which he records the trip he and his wife took in the fall of 1652, you will understand how fortunate I have been the past eight days. At Hiroshima, Matsuda-san gave us personal tour or the whole A.B.C.C., including laboratories. We watched casualty victims arrive lor their regular examination, ob served a monthly meeting of the mid-wives or Hiroshima who are cooperating with the A.B.C.C., etc, She took us on a tour of the cily nothing Impressed me as much as the sight of the rebuilt city from A.B.C.C. high up on a hill. It is amazing that almost 400,000 peo ple eat, sleep, work, attend school, go about their busy lives serenely once again where all was chaos in 1945. We visited the two chil dren's libraries; at one, I talked to a group of librarian-teachers eager for advice and encouragement. The secend night we went to Itsuku Island and stayed at an inn in Miyajima where I could look out the window at the red Tortl ris ing out of the sea and the pagoda alight in the full moon. It was the special week-end for viewing the gold and crimson maple leaves. Also festival time with Noh Play on the stage built out over the water the surrounding hills alive with color. NOVEMBER 25 Tonight I shall finish this letter and post It tomorrow by airmail. The addressed envelopes and hand-blocked cards made by Kono san have been sent on ahead by sea mail. It is good to be back at work with our students eager for reports on the convention. This afternoon the faculty were guests of the Ambassador, John M. Allison at a reception honoring the re-opening of the Tokyo American Cultural Center, closed for over eleven months much to our cha grin. During the past year I have visited libraries on Hakkaido the northern island, on Kyushu the southern Island, and all over Hon shu. I have taken trips on book mobiles, busses, trains, and boats. I shall be happy to return home next August, yet sorry to lose con tact with so many wonderful new friends and associates. I should like sometime to tell you about my many, many unique experiences, the joys of new friends, the personal touches of working with my students. Such words would be heart-warming to vou and reassuring. If big power politics and big business behaves, Japanese youth snouia be aDie to make a new and better world. Women must be given more op portunities and security, children better food and housing. We worked on Thanksgiving, November 6. We had a holiday on November 23, the Japanese Labor Thanksgiving.

When does a person retire? Trie popular conception of retirement visualizes most workers retiring more or less voluntarily as soon as they reach the magic age of However, various studies con ducted by the Social Security Ad ministration Indicate that you or your nusoana wui prooaoiy not me your claim for old-age insurance benefits until you are between 68 -eWssi n sTil msira ; 1 TWO BRIGHT-EYED, BLONDE BROTHERS sons of Mr. end Mrs. Charles Blumenthal, Tulelake, are "practically" the same age, there being just three months between their birthdates. Steven Louis (left) was born Oct. 8 in Alturas and Gary was born Jan. 12, thousands of miles away in Starnberg, Germany. Both are four years old. Now they romp happily together as boys will do, cherished by Mr. and Mrs. Blumenthal who have no children of their own. The family has had Steven since birth but laughing, happy Gary came by way of the Displaced Persons Commission, Washington, D. C with the aid of Senator McCarran, Nov., personal friend of the family, who arranged the visa and passport for the little boy on the very last day the commis sion operated, h e was then 2J4 years old and was flown with several other children from Europe to his foster home here. Mr. and Mrs. Blumenthal met the plane at San Francisco and promptly gathered to their hearts the lad in the red leather shoes who spake only 12 words of his native tongue. His name was changed from Yohann Hansel Winters to the simpler Gary. He weighed only 20 pounds upon arrival and had advanced only to the age of a year-old child. Today he is a normal four-year-old. Mrs. Blumenthal, a Texas girl, met her husband, a Tule lake potato grower and shipper, while he was serving in the Air Corps and returned here to raise these two future potato producers. v , "FOOL THE EYE" That's what cottons do today with new textures, weaves and fin ishes which make them hard to rec ognize as cottons. Cotton honan, in plain colors, bold plaids and clear tinted checks, has a crisp hand and slub texture that gives new in terest to the classic lines of the daytime coat dress. There are tap estries, navy cotton damasks, em broidered cotton satins as well as cotton honans in the new cottons. They are designed in costumes ranging from sun togs to evening frocks. Ore. Council C. F. Leaders Mrs. Warren o. Hunter, national council president, will be guest speaker at the annual Camo Fire wins council, to be held here Fri day, Feb. 5, 6:30 p.m. In the Wi nema Hotel. Mrs. Hunter was elecLed nresi. dent at the national meeting in Omaha, April, 1953. She has served as a national board mem ber and in 1953 was elected vice president. A daughter, Ruth, started Mrs. Hunter on her career in Camp Fire as group lender in Portland. Later she served as nrpsirienf. nf the Portland Leader's Assn., presi dent 01 me Portland council and chairman of region five. For her tireless efforts and her outstanding contributions to youth, Mrs. Hunter was presented the Wo. helo Order in 1949. This is Camp nre s highest order. Mrs. Percy Murray has been an pointed chairman for the annual meeting, and will be assisted by council president Charles Mack and Mrs. John Heyden social chairman and her committee. This will be a dinner meeting. Since the Winema dining room can accommodate only 100 persons, res ervations should be sent in early. and 69. That is the averace ace at which workers aave claimed their benefits during the past few years; loss of work at an early age due to ill-1 ncss, company retirement policy lack of job opportunities in indi vidual cases causes some people to file their claims as soon as they reach age 65. We find, however, that relatively few workers volun tarily retire as soon as they be come 65, even though they do not need the income from their job to live comfortably. After working a lifetime they feel the need of con tinued activity so long as their health permits. Some, of course, develop hobbies in their later years to occupy their working hours. Just what is meant by the term "retirement" You may recall from one of our earlier discussions that in order to be eligible for old-age insurance benefits you must be retired from gainlul employ ment within the definition contained in the- Social Security Act. This does not mean that you have to quit working entirely; you are al lowed to earn as much as 975 per month in wages or have net self employment income averaging $75 per month and still receive your old-age insurance check. Please note that the wage limit is $75 cross wages per month, that is, be fore any deductions. When you be come 75, the retirement test no longer applies and you can earn any amount of wages and still re cieve your monthly insurance check. If your earnings exceed $76 in any month you are not entitled to your check for that month unless you are 76 or older. Also, if your wife is receiving wife's insurance benefits she isn't entitled to her check for any month in which your earnings exceed the limit. However, the fact that you earned over $75 in any given month does not mean that your benefits are permanently cut off; they will be resumed with the first month in which vnm' earnings drop back to $75 or less. I The procedure for starting and stopping benefits in this manner is not at an compiicaicu unu l-uk.cs only a few minutes. For this rea son we urge all workers to ir.quire about their ocuems during the first month after they become 65 in which they don't earn over $75 even though they expect to be working regularly again in the near future. Failure to apply at that time may result in losing one or more bene fits to which they are entitled. The retirement test also applies to the self-employed as was men tioned above. If you operate your own business and are receiving your old-age insurance checks you should contact our office if you de termine that your net earnings from the business will average over $75 per month for the year. Your monthly checks will then be tem porarily suspended but at the end of the year when you have deter ined your net income, an adjust ment will be made for any bene fits which were incorrectly with held during the year. A widow and children receiving monthly survivors insurance bene fits are also subject to the work clause. If the widow earns over $76 per month she must report that' fact and have her own benefit sus pended. Such action will not affect the children's benefits; however, if a child works for over $75 per month his mother or guardian must report the fact and have the child s benefit suspended. In all cases ben efits are suspended only while the beneficiary is working; they will be resumed as soon as we are noti fied that the Individual is no long er earning over $75 per month. Next week we will discuss Insur ance benefits for the self-employed. 7 jK JQ 1 CttDiontU rpai fr t,' vary otei Compltu Una ' et muiical -Instruments kyla morgan your batdwin daala 1035 Main LATHE NOT NEW Probably the first machine tool for woodworking was the lathe, which was in use approximately 1600 B.
