NOTES FROM OTTAWA
COUNTY AGENT
FRED GRiMN

------ rNEO VNtWNW
The Oak Harbor Fair is over, but
in the minds of over 700 club mem
bers it was one of the biggest e.
vents of their lives.
Not everyone could be winner
yet the competition was keen. Lyle
Peters winner of the Booster Club
registered gilt probably knows
best how tough the competition
really was last Thursday. His out
standing work with swine won for
him the greatest monetary award
ever made in Ottawa County--te a
All member. The Boosters Club
has started what should be a great
forward stride in helping foster
the meat type hog. Lyle Peters
will give back gilt next fall
which in turn will be given to an
other winner. Interest in hogs by
All members is high. We can ex-
pect some keen competition in
1854. We expect to need more
hog pens. And not only that but
more room for sheep, dairy ami
mails and steers. Not to mention
the poultry, rabbits, woodworking
and vegetables. Then the girls
they are doing a grand job in
space half the size of their needs.
So before we become too self
satisfied with the job our All MEM
bers are doing let's reflect on the
future e DIS of our Junior
Fair The Oak Harbor Business
Men are doing a grand job On sup
porting the All part of the fair.
But I sincerely believe they would
like your help. The need for ade-
quate buildings and facilities is not
a thing of the future. 1t is a prob
lem of today.
Many people told me at thte fair
you need this-you need that. l
am glad that many of our folks
are aware of these needs.
So now-while thoughts of the
fair are bright in your minds make
some plans. Put those thoughts in
to action for not only bigger All
program but a complete Junior
Fair Program.

Wondering Whatto
By Deane and David Heller

By Deane and David Heller
liver FEEL bored, restless
II wondering how to
amuse yourself over the week
end?.
Next time that feeling
strikes you, be thankful you
live in the Washington area,
for it is bonanza country for
outdoor recreation-the kind
that makes you feel physically
fit and good all over.
Perhaps no other large city
in the United States offers so
wide a variety of healthful
outdoor recreation as the Ma
tion's Capital. Best of all,
you don't have to be particu-
larly athletic to get in on the
fun. The area abounds in
recreational opportunities to
suit every taSte-from a
leisurely stroll through the
stately gardens of Dumbarton
Oaks to just about any kind
Of sport you can name. If
you aren't familiar with them,
you may be cheating yourself
out of many a good time.
What's more, mild exercise
tones up neglected muscles
and leaves you feeling years
younger.
Take the nature hikes, bird
walks, scenic cruises and
other activities sponsored
without cost or for a nominal
fee by the National Capital
Parks as a good example.
Several different hikes are
taken each week end in many
of the areas parks. Seasoned
guides escort mixers and point
out the mysteries of nature
encountered en- route. Why
not take one some time and
rediscover the magic of a
friendly campfire under the
stars? You have your pick of
several different hikes and
can make your tramp as easy
or vigorous as you like,

Many Children
Receive Benefits

Over one million children are
now getting monthly social secur-
ity insurance payments, Wayne w.
Putnam, manager of the Toledo
social security office, said today.
The million mark for child bene-
ficiaries in the Nation was passed
in July, he says. In the ten-coun-
ty area served by the Toledo So
cial security office more than
5000 children are now on the in
Surance benefit rolls.
Approximately $4,000 of these
children are getting monthly sur
vivors insurance payments be-
cause of the untimely death of
the family breadwinner. Most of
the children who are receiving
these benefit payments are from
families in which the father has
died. Some, however, had been
dependent on insured working
mothers. About $4,000 of these
children-less than one-tenth of
the total-are dependents of men
or women who are receiving old
age insurance payments.
The amount of an old-age and
survivors insurance payment is
based on the average earnings Of
the person whose work was COW
cred by the social security law
The average monthly payment
now being made to child bene-
ficiary is $3044 a month; the
largest payment to family
group is $168.75 a month. Surviv-
ors benefits payable to child
are not affected even if the sur
viving parents goes to work or re-
marries.
Monthly insurance payments to
a child continue until he is 18, un-
less he goes to work Or marries
before reaching that age. AS of
the end of July, about $31 million
was being paid monthly to child
beneficiaries.
