Some a ration arose earlier this week --- to the possibility of a further r •• :pon”ment, but another change v as ruled out because of other ¿ ’lairs planned by the school.

He pointed out the tendency during the past decade for wo rn ?n to return to work or to take jobs for the first time aftei reaching middle age. This trend contrasts with the pre-w'ar period when it was largely young wives in their twenties and early thir ties who went into outside em ployment. Today, the greatest proportion of working wives are in their early forties; even mar- ri d w’omen in their early fifties are entering the labor force in about the sam ? proportions as younger women, an April 1952 survey reveals. "A women now age 50 will b. fully insured for old-age insur ance payments at age 65 aft°r about 7’2 years of covered work,” Cummins said. An amount of covered work equal to at least one-half the time after 1950 and age 65 or death is required to be fully insured. Cummins said that around 5.3 million women work.rs have children under 18; over two mil lion of these women have young, sters below school age for whose care the mothers must provide during the hours they spend at work outside the house. As sur vivors benefits are payable to children if the supporting parent had at least a year and a half of covered work during the three years ending with death, mothers now engaged in covered work are building this social security insurance protection. Those who wish to file claims or obtain aocial security informa tion may meet the representative during one of his regular weekly Columbia county visits. Mr. Cum mins may be contacted on the second floor of the St. Helens Courthouse any Monday 1:00 to 3:00 p.m. or local residents may wish to visit or write to the Port land office located in Room 104, Old Post Office Building.

COLUMBIA COUNTY, OREGON Grade Rules Explained to Operators Many Defects Found Corrected Following Early Cafe Survey Those attending at th? food es. tablishment operators meeting held at the city hall January 14 at 3 p.m. were Regena Vike, Ma Vike’s Caf ; Jay Hall, Jay’s Cafe. Henry Gallegly, Lew’s Place. ( Desmond Laird. Dessy’s Tavern; Don Bayley, Pine Cone and Luel- i la ?Xnd:rson, Palace cafe. William Bower, chief of the • restaurant section of the state board of health, and Ben Rine- I hart, county sanitarian, explained i th” grading system of eating es tablishments in Oregon and Co- ■ lumbia county. Each of the 24 items of restaurant sanitation were I discussed separately. The state of Oregon has re ceived high praise from all parts of the hation in regard to its restaurants. Part of this is at tributed to th” activities of state and local health departments, but most of the credit is given to the op rators themselves for th” de sire and co-operation on their part. Many of the establishments j which have received low scores on rec:nt surveys have already corrected the sanitary defects which were found. To receive an “A" rating, which is considered a merit, the establishment must have no ma jor violations of sanitation. A "B" rating, which is still good, means that the establish ment has minor violations, usu ally due to construction; but not due to factors which would en danger th:- public's health. There is essentially no difference in the two ratings aside from minor items. A “C” rating is posted in es tablishments which do not satisfy the major requirements such as dishwashing techniques, storage of food, and refrigeration of per ishable foods. Posting of ratings will begin | the latter part of January. 120 Here for Masonic Dinner Vernonia Lodge No. 184, A. F. and A. M. staged their 22nd an nual Old Timers night Saturday by serving the usual dinn:r, tur key and all the accessories, to 120 people. The turnout was considered very good considering the weath.r at that time. Of the attendance there were 58 members and 62 visitors, the latter representing 33 different lodges. The most distant was Nova Scotia. There are no for malities connected with the af fair. Catch of Week Tops 16 Pounds PHONE 191 THURSDAY.
