AN IMPROVED version of the vacuum
sand pump used in placer prospecting
has been adapted for drilling irrigation
wells. Jim Frey, shown here with the
pump he designed and built, gave the
rig its first test in deepening the irriga
tion well on the Paul Nelson farm on
the Butte road. Subcontracted for B & H
Supply, who put in the irrigation sys
tem on the Nelson farm, Frey's new
pump succeeded in recovering irregu
lar chunks of metal weighing as much
as a half pound from the deepened
well.

QUESTIONS
AND ANSWERS
Question: You folks turned
me down last year on my dis
ability claim. I had enough
work credits, but you said my
distbility wasn’t severe enough.
I’m 62 years old now. Can I
get my retirement payments
now?
ANSWER: Yes, remember,
though, that when you take
your retirement payments ear
ly, your monthly payments are
less than they wolld be at age
65. This reduction is permanent
and your check isn’t r#isgd to
the full amount when you get
to be 65.
QUESTION: Is social secur
ity coverage for self-employed
fishermen or trappers volun
tary?
ANSWER: Definitely not.
Self-employed fishermen or
trappers who have net earnings
of $400 or more during a year
must file social security tax re
ports along with their Federal
income tax returns.
QUESTION: Is it necessary
that I have reached 62 before
I check my social security?
ANSWER: No. We suggest
that you check your social se
curity before you reach retire
ment age (age 62) or before you
plan to retire. We also suggest
you get all the papers you will
need in order. This includes
proof of your age, earnings
(W-2 Forms) for past year or
two, marriage records. Military
Service records, and birth cer
tificates of all minor children.
We suggest you check tvith
your Social Security Office for
exactly what you will need.
Main Cause oi
Blindness Cited
The American Medical As
sociation points out that the
main causes of blindness in
the United States are glau
| coma, cataracts and acci
dents. Most of the accidents
could be prevented by the
exercise of simple precau
tions on the part of children
and their parents. Most cases
of cataracts can be dealt with
by surgery. Gla-ucoma, if rec
ognized in its early stages,
! and if adequate and sustain
ed treatment is given, can be
checked and stabilized- One
reliable estimate says that
half the blindness in this
country could be prevented
or cured.
