Oegon'« law requiring motor-

attention by Oregon drivers, the

Many buses have been trans-
porting farm workers during the
summer an operation to which
the atop law does not apply. The
orvwton said this fact confuses

next month, a loading or unload

About 1.100 people in Columbia
county will receive higher social
security
payments
beginning
early in October as a result of
the social security amendments
which President Truman signed
into law July 13.
Everell Cummins, field repre-
sentative of the Portland social
security office, emphasized that
no one needs to apply for the
increased payments. "The social
security administration is already
changing the amounts,” he point
ed out. 'They will be changed
in time to be on the checks to be
mailed October 3, the regular
delivery date, but if in a few
cases that schedule is not met
the regular check will be mailed
and the difference made up in a
later check.”
Amount of the increase for a
retired worker fill range from
$5.00 to $8 60 with the average
about $6.00. Where several mem
bers of a family are receiving
payments, the total increase to
the family can be as much as
$18 90. A few benefitsnow being
paid, and most of those payable
in the future, will be based on
earnings after 1950 instead of
after 1936.
Beginning Sept* mber
new law increased to $75 a month
instead of $50 the amount of
money a beneficiary may earn
and still receive the monthly
benefits.
The amended law contains a
provision of special importance
to self-employed people who have
retired or plan to retire during
1952. Before the passage of the
amendments their earnings for
the year in which an application
was made could not be used to
figure their old-age benefit pay
ments. Now. those self-employed
people who originally applied for
benefits in 1952 may re-apply at
the clos" of the taxable year and
have their 1952 earnings used in
figuring their monthly benefit
payments. In general, this will
increase the monthly benefit pay
ment to self-employed persons,
