NEW PHOTO TECHNIQuES SAVE TIME AND MONEY IN PUBLIC LAND SURVEYS

To save time and money in surveying public lands. being selected by the State of Alaska, the Bureau of Land Manage ment is using aerial photo graphy, electronic instruments, helicopters, and other modern techniques, according to T. A. Hazard, chief of the branch of photogrammetry in Alaska.
 When the 103 million acres of State selection is completed, the land selected will cover an area the size of California. This makes BLM's assignment the biggest and toughest land sur veying job in America.
 With aerial photos the loca- tion of many monuments and section corners can be deter mined without costly and diff cult surveys on the ground. Ex- act size and shape of lakes and the course of rivers and streams, so numerous in Alas ka, can be rapidly determined. Even when ground surveys are necessary, the photographs aid in finding the best means of access and in estimating diff

 The Department of Fish and Game also requested that the Denali Highway be reopened, but due to heavy snowfalls and drifting snow it will remain closed until spring,

~ QUESTIONS
 AND ANSWE RS

QUESTION: I will be 62 this month and I understand that can retire and get social secur- ity, but that my monthly bene- fit will be less than would get if were 65. Can you tell me how much of a reduction I will have to take if l decide to draw my social security bene- fits now?
 ANSWER Your monthly so- cial security benefit will be re- duced by 20 percent if you ap- ply as soon as you reach 62. For example, if your earnings under social security would qualify you for a benefit of $l00 at age 65, you would be able to collect $50 a month at age 62. That $80 a month would continue to be payable to you even after you did reach 65. It would generally not go up-un- less you returned to work and had earnings high enough to require the withholding of your benefits for some months.
 QUESTION: If I take my benefit at 63, can my wife also draw if she is 62?
 ANSWER: Yes. Her benefit will be about 25% less than the payment she would other wise have been able to collect at age 65.
 QUESTION: Are benefits be- fore age 65 reduced on a monthly basis, or do you have to apply exactly on your 62nd, 63rd, or 64th birthday?
 ANSWER: You can apply any time. The reduction is fig ured on a monthly basis for every month that you are clos CT to 65, the less the reduction.
 Fer more information about your Social Security, write to: Social Security Administra- tion. P. O. Box 1881, Juneau, Alaska.

 All varieties of strange and weird characters were repre- sented by the students in cos tune. Strangest of all was a girl with balloons all over her which completely covered her identity.

SKIING GOOD AT INDEPENDENCE

Skiers! There are three feet of good snow at the Indepen- dence Mine area and the skiing is excellent, Julius Moor, pro- prietor of the Independence Mine Resort, reported this week.
 The tow began operating Oct. 20, and the road is open and is being maintained, Moor said.
 Besides skiing, the resort is offering family style meals as well as snacks, sandwiches, and short orders. The lodge maintains clean, comfortable rooms, Moor said, and added that beverages are available in an attractive bar at popular prices.
 Moor invited both serious and casual photographers to take advantage of the unparalleled opportunities for scenic shots. Film will be available at the lodge.
 For those who are cross country skiers, it is well to note that the entire resort and ski area is above timber line, mak- ing conditions ideal for this type of activity Moor said.

Tipped to $4,000

Montana AA members visiting the
Seattle Fair who plan a side trip to
British Columbia by automobile, may
find themselves in great deal of
trouble if they do not take proper
precautions regarding auto insur-
ance.
Effective June 1, the financial re-
sponsibility requirement in BIC. will
be $4,000 for bodily injury liability
and property damage. This differs
considerably from automobile insur-
ance beverages required under the
financial responsibility loss in most
states in the us. For example:
Montana's Financial Responsibility
Law has security-type law applicable
in event of causing property damage
in excess of 500 or personal injury
or death. Minimum financial respon-
sibility limits: $5,000/10,000/1,000.

dent and does not have the minimum
British Columbia coverage, his vehicle

In addition to the outflow of
24,660 persons in the produc-

been significant changes in the

last year and no reversal is in
sight this year.
The ghost town is a familiar re-

The exceptions are Valley with the

Most Eastern Montana Counties
Lost Population During Fiffies

only counties to lose significantly in

WEALTH LEVEL REMAINS HIGH
1t seems that Montana is refuting
certain economic concepts because
counties which are losing people. do
not necessarily recede in value or
diminish the wealth of the individuals
remaining.
The agricultural counties need less
labor because of mechanization. and
less business services locally because
of improved highways.
Or maybe it's only proving another
economic saw, ''Them what has gets.
The startling increases in the num-
Der of children and old people can
be viewed in another light. The char
acter of the Montanan has as its basis
that there is no better place to be
child than in Montana with the hills
and prairies, but he is a restless indi-
vidual who must see what's going on,
outside of the production of raw ma
terials.
In his 20's and 3O's he is involved
with industrial and cultural skills.
A number return for 40's and SOS of
good living in this state and the six
ties see them leaving in search for a
place of retirement only to discover
that the hills and prairies are also
the best place for an old person.
All this is only true if you con-
slider composite pictures. Montanans
are individuals and they do the in
scrutable things individuals do. This
is carrying statistics into an area of |
