Large Number Receiving
Social Security Payments

At the end of 1948 about 100000
persons throughout the nation will be
receiving monthly old-age and sur
vivors insurance payments under the
Federal social security program.
The Social Security Administration
estimates that during 1913 monthly
payments to retired workers and
their families and to survivors of de-
ceased insured workers will amount
to approximately 100000
In addition, about $32 million will
have been paid during 1948 in lump
sums.
j. W Robertson, manager Of the
Cumberland field office of the Social
Security Administration pointed out
that all Of these payments were made
to persons who applied for the bene-
fits due them. Many other persons
entitled to benefits lost money be-
cause they failed to claim their bene-
fits or delayed claiming them. Under
the law Social Security benefits must
be claimed or they are lost.

that he toured the U. S. with Larry

caught him again and he went to

barker for the show, and although
Jack had never done anything like

TO PREVENT WASTE"

Basis OF any sound conservation
act-whether it applies to animal,
mineral or vegetable materials
to be, to prevent waste and see
that the resources affected are
used to best advantage of all the
people. So the preamble Of the
states new Oil and Gas conserva-
ton act declares it's intent to "pre-
vent waste 80. of natural gas and
crude oil" and to protect the
vested. co-eQual and correlative
rights Of owners of crude oil and
natural gas as defined in this act"
Without going into too much de-
tall, the new law sets up certain
established principles of conserva-
ton to govern prospecting for.
drilling for and producing of oil
and gas; and repeats the old 1882
act which gave all power to set up
regulations over these acts to a
three-man ~ex-officio board. The
new law establishes certain regu-
lations, but gives wide authority
in their Interpretation to the new
State Oil and Gas Board. 1t also
gives the board authority to hire
as many experts IN petroleum ge-
ology, in prospecting. drilling and
producing mineral resources as
the board feels it needs to ade-
cuately do the job of preventing
waste and seeing that all inter
ested parties in this new hundred
million dollar industry are given
every legal safeguard.

production) were highest per-day
in ,267.S6 per day
compared to $16,306.S so the month
previous. Since there we're but 20
days in the month, the total rev.
pared to $505,510 for january
but it takes mighty little figuring
to see that two more days would
have meant about $4,000 more
income. Again, Lincoln county
paid most tax with $126,S23.18-
incidentally the highest amount
ever paid on the wells in any one
county in the state. Its Brook
haven field with 12S wells and
Mallalieu with 55 make it the
fastest developing county in the
state, and it's crude all rates high.
Adams county, with most of the
Cranfield field in addition to the
rapidly developing LAGRANGE field
(Which now has 81 producers)
the Carthage Point and Pine
Ridge fields, rated second in rev.
enue with $101,616.67. Yazoo
County, site of the original Tins
ley field discovery in the state as
well as the Pickens field, was
again third. with $7S,524.S9: but
was being crowded by Lamar
County ($55,735.4S) and Jasper
($52,447.S1). Lamar has the Bax-
terville field and Jasper the
Heidelberg and $3.50 fields. Other
producing counties and the tax
paid by each for the month were:
Clarke (Langsdale field $3,372.-
80: Franklin (part of Cranfield
field) $17,697.75; Jefferson Gay
cite field $2,1S4.26; Jeff Davis

~$13,141.79: Marion Club and
part of Baskerville fields) $11,-
664.73; and Wayne County, with
Eucutta field and the new Yellow
Creek field $30,393.34. Without
going into details Of the field
runs, Baskerville led all produc-
ton with a total of 553, 0e0 bar
rels for the month; only other
field to hit the half-millien mark
was Tinsley field in Yazoo with
