PAGE EIGHT HERALD AND NEWS. KLAMATH FALLS. OREGON All Women Should Study Stake In FOA Editor's Notei This is the eighth and last of a series of articles on ths benefits of Social Security written by Everett Eaton, manager ' of the local Social Security Office. Ths information will be brought up-to-date if the proposed ex panded benefits legislation is passed by Congress. Do you operate a business of your own? Perhaps you give mu sic lessons, do dressmaking or operate a grocery store. Or may be your husband has bis own ga rage, service station or carpenter shop. If such Is the case and your net income from your business was at least $400.00 per year beginning with 1951, you or your husband are covered by the old-age and sur vivors insurance program. The above list of businesses does not include all types covered by the program; they are listed merely for illustration. Practically all businesses are covered by the law, partners operating a business are covered, as well as Individual own - ers. Those specifically excluded at the present time are professional people such as doctors, attorneys and dentists. Also excluded is in. come from rental property, unless dally personal services are render ed, as in a hotel or motel; invest ment Income ard larm owners or operators. In all previous discussions we have talked about wages and ex plained that benefits for the In sured woracr are oasea 011 ma average monthly wage. If your business Is covered by the law your net Income from the business Is posted to your wage record and treated In the same manner as , though the same amount had been earned as wages. There Is one distinction; your net Income must be at least $400 dur - ing your taxable year in order for Jt to count. In figuring quarters of coverage based on your seu-env ployment income, you are credited with four quarters of coverage for any year in which your net income is at least $400. This is true even though you may not have operated your business during all four quarters of the year. You may be wondering Just how ' GARDEN GOSSIP ; ' JUNIPER BRANCH MEETS i The Juniper Branch of the Ever green Garden Club met Monday af ternoon at Joan's Kitchen. An in teresting and practical talk on . how to handle perennials, and when to plant annuals, was given by Mrs. Earl Epoch, of 2603 Xane Street, Hostesses were Dorothy 'Jones and Eldean Eck, who pro vided a beautiful, spring arrange ment of "tlngitata" In the familiar Wedgewood blue, pink carnations and golden daffodils for the rooms.

La verne Kendall, secretary was un able to be present, Thelma also announced the chalr- - man of the various standing com mittees for the remainder ot the year.

She was ap pointed to complete the term of Mrs. Will Woods, and is up for election. Verona Dahler, the district conservation chairman, requested that the club furnish the Judges for the essay contest that is a part of the Klamath County school program on conservation. Some plans were also discussed regarding the flower show which has been a special pro ject of the club for several years. Hie new chairman of the group, Thelma Overton, also wished to ex tend a most cordial invitation to all residents of Uie Altamont-Shasta area to attend tho meetings. They are open to the public.

For a lato evening snack, sar dine sandwiches are wonderfully tasty if you mash them with lemon Juice, finely grated onion, a dash of mayonnaiso and reshly ground pepper. Use fresh white bread for the sandwiches, cutting off the crusts; then cut each sandwich into 4 small triangles or 3 long strips. 6erve tho Bandwlchcs on a good looking plate garnished with short sprays of water cress threatetl through rings of raw carrot. When you are buying ready-made curtains of a patterned fabric, make stlro that the design Is matched in each pair of curtains and that the arrangement of the design units Is the same in all the pairs you buy. PICTURE FRAMING you report your self-employment in come. Well, it isn't at all difficult. You merely complete an addition al form, known as Schedule C, when you file your income tax return. You pay your self-employment tax at that time; the rate during the period 1951-53 was 2 per cent of your net self-employment income, up to the maximum of (3600 an nual income. There are a few items to keep in mind when completing your Schedule C. First, be sure you copy your name and social se curity number from your social se curity card in the space provided for them on the Schedule C. With out your account number it is Im possible to give you credit for your self-em ployment income. Next, you should give a clear and accurate description of your business. This is necessary in order that we can determine that your business is cov ered by the law. The law requires that you list all or your business expenses, includ' ing depreciation on your business property, in determining your net sen-em ployment income. This is truQ though you may have suffi cient personal exemptions so that you won't nave to pay any income tax even if you did not claim all of your business expenses as de ductions. Remember, .too, that you must flic a Schedule C if your net business income was at least $40U during the year, even though regular Income tax return may not be required. The last day for filing vour 1953 return without penalty is March 15, ia54 if you operate on a caienaar year basts. If you have reported at least MOO of self-employment income for 1051, 1052 and 1953, you have earned 13 quarters of coverage and are presently fully insured. In the event you are now 65 or older you will no doubt be interested in what benefits may be paid you at wis time. The same formula is used to compute your monthly insurance amount as was explained earner in this series for the wage earner. In other words, If you filed your claim now, we would total your net self-employment income for the three years, 1951, 1052 and 1953 and then divide by the 36 months in those three years. The result is your average monthly wage or income which would be used as the basis in figuring your benefit. You receive 55 per cent of the first $100 of your average monthly income of $55, plus 15 per cent of the balance of your average monthly income. Since $300 is the highest average monthly income considered by the law, for either tax or benefit purposes, the maxi mum monthly benefit is $85. Auxil iary benefits for the wife or de pendent husband, If over 65, are equal to one half of the insured individual's monthly benefit. A retirement test is applied to the self-employed beneficiary simi lar to the one used with retired wage earners. You may recall from previous articles that the retired worker may earn as much, as $75 per month and still be en titled to his Insurance check for that month. However, if he earned over $7S In ft month and is not 75 years old, he was required to no tify the Social Security Adminis tration of that fact and return his benefit check if he received one. Tho retirement test is applied to the self-employed beneficiary on am annual basis; he is allowed $900 net self-employment income during the year and still be en titled to 12 benefit checks for that year. For each $75, or fraction there of that his annual self-employment Income exceeds $900, he forfeits his right to one months benefit. For example, if your self- employment income was $1000 you would be entitled to 10 benefit checks for the year. However, if you are 75 or older, you are en titled to your benefit each month, regardless of the amount of your self-employment income. The self-employed person who is receiving benefits is required to give notice as soon, during the year, as he determines that his net Income Is averaging over $75 per month. His benefits are tempor arily suspended at that time; how ever, as soon as he reports the amount of his annual self-employ ment income, any benefits due him for the year will be paid in a lump sum. The above explanation of the re tirement test assumes that the beneficiary is actively engaged In tnc operation or trie business, or as the law states it. Is "rendering substantial services.1 However, If the beneficiary has retired from active participation in the operation or management of the business, there is no restriction on the amount of Income he may receive from the business and still be entitled to hls Insurance benefit each month.

THE PAVED HIGHWAY WINDS from Klamath Falls to Malin . . . cars whin 30 miles in a' tew short moments but there WERE days when the old road around the hill, was cut by 17 fences, Barred by gates, and the trip between the towns took two days with teams. Mrs. Marie Kalina, one of the few remaining settlers of the original Ciech colonists, re members those days, back in 1 909, when the waters of Tula Lake lapped at the first building on the site where new town was soon to be. Rabbits over-ran the country and sagebrush hid the horses, hitched to logs to crush the brush that hampered farming. Crop-raising was not a novelty to Marie Kalina, born in Ciechoslovkia of farmer parents so the rugged life on the farm settled on near Malin did not frighten her, nor dim her love of a new country. The family worked the land for two years, then built the first store, the Kalina Mercantile, still in the family. There, Mrs. Kalina worked long hours, day-in, day-out from 1912 until a son, Louis and a daughter Emma, took over in 1947 .. . the ground where the two schools were built was do nated by Mr. and Mrs. Kalina . . .other businesses were acquired, the ZCBJ society was formed ... the family danced the old dances of the homeland . . . Marie Kalina helped the Red Cross through the war years, welcomed two sons, Louis and Rudolph and one daughter Emma, now Mrs. Mervyn Wilde, who came to join young Vac, native of Chicago, all born at home because hospitals were too far away ... She helped with the big $okol celebrations in 1928 and 1935 that brought several thou sand guests to the little town to enjoy Czech hospitality . . ; was a staunch supporter of the Malin park that ha$(Won acclaim from far and near ... she returned to her homeland for a visit after World War II ... has retired to a new home in Malin where she welcomes her daughter, her three sons, her five grandchildren . . . today, Bohemia, seems far away Mrs. Dewing Is President Girl Scouts Mrs. W.

Library Club Party Helps Children Here Do Your Part-Play Cards FRIDAY, JANUARVol ing Mrs. Jess i,. 2-3323. UHer. J About 60 local children have been helped to better health by a tonsillectomy program quietly ami efficiently conducted over the past five years by members of the Klamath Falls Women's Library Club. These children In all likeli hood would not now be in better health were it not for the funds raised by the annual benefit bridge and tea party sponsored by the Li brary Club: and the small Library Club committee which, with pro fessional assistance, distributes the funds. Children helped in this program come from families that are not eligible for welfare help. The par ents are self-supporting but unable to pay the cost of tonsil opera tions. Very often such an operation will prevent rheumatic fever and other attendant diseases, as well as raise the general health level and scholastic standing of a child. The idea for the Children's Case Benefit Fund came from meetings between Mrs. Ray Oldenburg, Dr. Neil Black and Mrs. Walter Brown. Formerly the local Library Club sent the amount raised from tne tea and bridge benefit party to Doernbecher Hospital In Portland, but this practice was discontinued during the presidential term of Mrs. Brown in 1948, ana an lunus raised at the benefit party have since been spent locally. Mrs. Oldenburg served as chair man of this committee for three years, followed by Mrs. Marvin Nerseth. The present committee in cludes Mrs. George Adler, chair man; Mrs. Clarence Ward and Mrs. Oldenburg, Outside assistance is given by Annls Struthers, public school nurse, and Dr. Neil Black, advisor. .
