About 6,435 people in the Lake and McHenry county areas will receive higher social security payments as a result of the social security amendments which President Truman signed into law last week. The first increased checks will be for the month of September delivered early in October. \ Bernard Barnett, manager of the Waukegan social security office, emphasized that no one needs to apply for the increased payments. "The Social Security Administration is already changing the amounts," he pointed ">ut. "We expect to get them changed in time to have them in the mail Oct. 3, the regular delivery date, but if in a few cases we don't meet that schedule we'll send the regular check afid make up the difference in a later check." tender terms of the law, most families will get an increase' of about $5, some will get less and some will get more. A few benefits now being paid and most of those payable in the future will be based on earnings after 1950 instead of after 1936. The amended law provides a new formula for determining the amount of the payments in these cases. Under it, a retired worker's monthly benefit would be 55 per cent of the first $100 of his average monthly earnings plus 15 per cent of the remainder up to $300. Beginning Sept. 1, the new law increased to $75 a month instead of $50 the amount of money a beneficiary may earn and still receive the monthly benefits. Selfemployed people entitled to oldage and survivors insurance benefits, may receive the payments for each month of the year if their net earnings during the entire year are- not over $900. 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 payments. Now, those self-employed people who originally applied for benefits in 1952 may re-apply at the close of the taxable year and have their 1952 earnings used in figuring their monthly benefit payments. In general, this will increase the monthly benefit payment to self-employed persons. URGE MOTORISTS TO KEEP COOL WREN DRIVING IN HEAT ' With high temperatures in the offing for the balance of summer. Charles M. Hayes, president of the Chicago Motor club, has warned motorists to keep an even disposition while driving. "When the weather is hot, sticky and uncomfortable, drivers tend to become irritable and irksome" the club official said. "The uncomfortable physical conditions in which drivers find themselves are reflected in rash* driving practices which increase with the temperature." The club president cautioned motorists to keep cool when behind the wheel of a 3,000 lb. automobile. He said that the easiest way to stay comfortable in a car was by not being ruffled by actions of other motorists. ."Good driving performance requires constant alertness," Hayes said. "A person who is distracted and preoccupied with the heat is operating at reduced efficiency: In that state of mind he is more prone to have an accident." To make up for physical deficiencies due to torrid temperatures Hayes suggested that motorists: 1. Drive it speeds slower than normal. 2. Exercise exceptional caution to compensate for poorer reaction times, reduced powers of judgment and physical discomfiture. 3. Avoid alcoholic drinks. 4. Rest frequently oh long trips. 5. Take th£ir„minds off the excessive heat by thinking about more pleasant subjects.

FARM ACCIDENTS OCCUR MOST OFTEN IN HARVEST TIME 1 Harvest time is accident hazard time on the farm. John W. Matthews, executive secretary of the Illinois Rural Safety Council, says grain harvesting machinery with its highspeed cutting mechanisms, shafting, gears and chains is dangerous. It's especially dangerous during the "rush" of harvest, when the chances for accident mount rapidly, Matthews points out. Harvesting is a season when too many farmers get in so big a hurry that they fall to take necessary caution. First step for safe operation of harvesting machinery is to put it into good condition before the harvest begins. This means that seats, controls, steps and other features of the machine should be in good repair. Shields or other safety guards must be in place before a machine is taken to the field. The Illinois Rural Safety Council recommends the following rules for harvest safety: 1. Always be alert--never take a chance. , 2. Always stop all machinery before oiling,' adjusting* or unclogging it. 3. Avoid wearing floppy or ragged clothing. 4. Always operate tractors at a safe speed. 5. Start smoothly, and slow' down for turns and rough ground. 6. Don't run- machines too close io the edge of ditches or embankments. 7. Keep small children away from harvesting machinery. « 8. Do not jump off equipment before it has come to a full stop. 9. Remember to look both ways as you approach a highway, and cross with care. r~ 10. On a highway obey the signs and rules of the road, and don't forget to use headlights and taillights at night. PHYSICAL DEFECTS FOUND RESPONSIBLE FOR AUTO ACCIDENTS There was something wrong physically with one out of every eighteen drivers involved in the 32,500 fatal motor vehicle accidents last year, according to the National Safety Council. In "Accident Facts," the Council's statistical yearbook, which is just off the press, three-fifths of these defects were listed as fatigue and sleeping while driving. One out of every nine pedestrains killed by motor ' vehicles had some physical defect. Defective eyesight was reported in more than one-fourth of these cases, defective hearing in one-tenth, and illness or other bodily defects in the remaining three-fifths. Thuwdty. July 31, 1952 a "COLD" JELLY METHOD SAVES FRUIT FLAVOR You- can make jelly by the socalled cold or below-boiling method if you use fruit juices that are high in acid and pectin. This method saves time and does away with the discomfort of standing over a hot stove. Also, it helps to keep mors of the fresh fruit flavor. Remember that the jutce must be fresh, cautions Mrs. Pearl Janssen, foods specialist, University of Illinois. The jelly should be made immediately after the juice is extracted. Or a common practice is to can the fruit juice and then make a batch of jelly as you need it. To make jelly by the "cold" method, use one and. one-half cups of sugar to one cup of fresh or canned juice. Heat the juice; add the sugar and stir until completely dissolved. (Don't boil the juice . . . it should be just hot enough 1$, dissolve the sugar thoroughly.) Pour into sterilized jelly glasses, cover with paraffin immediately and let stand until jellied^ - Like other jellies, this jelly should be stored *in a cold, dry Who Enjoys Your Yard?
