FRIENDLY ACTION
SAVES CANAL HOME
Because of prompt action on the
part of neighbors Thursday night
when the Jim Johnsons were away
from home, their house was saved,
nndamaged from fire.
Nearby residents noticed the
glow lhrough windows and rushed
in the front and back doors to find
[
the davenport on fire in the front i
room. Jack Simmons put the fire
l
out with water brougllt him by
others, and uw uavenport was
tossed outside, a complete loss.
There was () other damage to
speak of. Cause of fire was un-
determined but it was thought
that lighted cigarette sparks
might have been to blame. Hoods- I
port fire fighters were on the
scene within minutes but were not
needed this time.

, story o1: the origin and develop-
ment of tim 2,524,693 acres of
Tree Farms in Western Oregon
: and Washington.
"Tree Farms," the booklet ex-
plains in a brief foreword, "grow
timber. Year after year. without
stopping, ti]ey produce the forest
c'ops which nean jobs and pay-
fl ro]ls and community stability.
[I They mean lumber, paper, ply-
/tweed and other: forest products
L for America forever.
] "Tree Farms are not 'Just a
name'; they're not a fad. A Tree
Farm is a practical business ven-
ture, and is expected to pay its
way. Tree ,arms are designed to
permit the greatest possible har-
vest on a permanent basis, from
qdr .imber lands."

SOCIAL SECURITY
BENEFITS MAY
INCREASE ONLY
Two weeks ago, we i)oifited
out that avorker insured uuder
the old-age insurance program,
and over 65, may reeei bene-
fits if he is temporarily unem-
ployed for a mouth or nmre,
even though he plans io return
to cow,red employment later.
Some elderly people It a, v e
raised this question:
"If I aPlflY for benefits now,
and receive ttenl for a few
months while I am out of work,
will that ]'c, dll(:e ,he aulount I'll
receiw wben I deei(le to retire
permanently ?"
Tile auswer ig "No." Oll('O
established, the social security
benefit will never gel any small-
or; in some cases, it may Im
Increased.
Snppose John Jones, age 67.
has an operation that will keep
him off the job for tltree
mouths. He applies for old-age
insurunce, and receives benefits
during the nlonihs he is nol
working. Later. hc returns le
work and put in anolher five.
years before he decides to knoelc
off and take things easy.
If his wages durhlg that five-
year l)eriod were enough to in-
crease his average monthly
wage, his social se('.urity pay-
mew! will be increased. Other-
wise, l! will remain at Hm
amount he received durhlg his
siekness. It will not be lowered.

Navy authorilies pointed out.
Concerning the personnel situa-
tion throughout tim Navy, Rear
Admiral 'I'. L. Sprague. USN.
Chief of Naval Personnel. has an-
neunced that although Navy en-
listments and reenlistments for
October exceeded 99 per cent of
the monthly quota, the acelnnu-
lated new enlistments from Jtfly
1 to November 1 are 35 per cent
under the quota required to kee I)
the Navy at ,its plamaed strength.
"The large and increasing llUn-l-
her of reenlistments is especially
gratifying," Admiral S p r a g u e
said• He added. "It demonstrates
that men iff tim Navy recognize
the advantages and benefits of a
Naval career."
Local Naval recruiters urge all
lneu, veterans and non-veterans,
between the ages of 17 and 30
(inclusive) who are interested in
the benefits of the Navy, to call
at their nearest Navy Recruiting
Station for detailed information.
