Saint Jo Boys,

Win Tournament
Montague’s girls and Saint
Jo’s boys claimed champion-
ship honors at the Montague
School invitational basketball
tournament for seventh and
eighth grade athletes Thursday,
Friday, and Saturday.
The Eagle sextette scored a
•32-18 victory over the Bowie
girls in the finals. Previously
they had beaten Bellevue 39-15
and Gold-Burg 39-24 to gain the
finals. Bowie handled Forest-
burg 27-6 in the first game
and Prairie Valley 28-8 in the
second go-round to advance to
the finals opposite Montague.
Saint Jo’s towering Panthers
wrested victory from Montague
in the boys’ finals, 49-34. The
two teams battled on even terms
for three quarters, the score
being 32-32 at the beginning of
the fourth quarter. But then
fouls removed three Montague
starters in the fourth quarter a-
long with two of the Saint Jo
stalwarts. Saint Jo pulled ahead
for keeps with a minute gone
in the final stanza.
proaches age 65. Although
his earnings may be too high
to permit monthly payments,
he can make application for
hospital and medical insurance
protection under Medicare at
65, while he still continues to
work.
And lastly, Foyce pointed out,
once the worker becomes 72
years old, his earnings no long-
er permit him from receiving
his social security checks. If
he has not applied for social
security benefits prior to that
time, he should definitely make
application at age 72, Foyce
stressed.
Mr. Foyce visits Nocona on
a regularly scheduled basis. A
copy of the schedule is posted
in your post office and a notice
of visits is carried in this news-
paper.

Workers Should
Check With SS
On Retirement
Workers approaching retire-
ment age should check with th-
eir social security represent-
ative at three important times,
according to James B. Foyce,
social security representative
for Montague County.
Because of the most recent
change in the social security
regarding earnings after bene-
fits begin, many workers and
their families may receive
some or all of their social se-
curity checks during the year,
even though the worker con-
tinues on his job. For this rea-
son, Foyce said, a worker who
is nearing age 62 should look
into possible benefits even if
he is not planning to stop work-
ing.

worker should contact his so-

NEW YORK,- The Montague
County economy moved ahead
in sturdy fashion in the four-
year period since 1964, in line
with advances made at the na-
tional level.
The progress was especially
evident in the increased volume
of business done by local retail
stores. Their sales rose 21.7
percent In the period, accord-
ing to figures released by the
Standard Rate and Data Ser vice.
The overriding credit for the
gain goes to the local consumer
and to his ability and his will-
ingness to spend freely.
Neither the talk of a possible
recession, nor the hike in Fed-
eral taxes, nor the various nat-
ional problems at home and a-
broad deterred him.
He spent confidently, with the
feeling that he had a job he could
count on, an income that was
steadily rising and a future that
was financially protected,
thanks to pensions, health in-
surance and personal savings.
In the four years, as a result,
the sales volume in Montague
County retail stores rose from
$21,346,000 to a total of $25,-
974,000. Part of this increase is
attributed, of course, to higher
prices for merchandise.
The 21.7 percent rise topped
the United States rise of 20.6
percent.
Related to the local popula-
tion, the retail sales were equi-
valent to spending at the rate
of $5,586 per family, which was
well over the $5,290 per family
elsewhere in the United States
and the $5,374 in the State of
Texas.
Nearly every branch of re-
tail business shared in this
growth. People bought more
cars, more and better clothing,
finer furniture, food, cosmet-
ics, household equipment and
electrical gadgets.
Directly affected were the 151
retail stores In the local area
and the 590 people employed by
them. Their payroll rose from
$1,520,000 a year to $1,592,000
in the period.
With the beginning of the new
year, the consensus among eco-
nomists is that the American
economy will continue on its
upward course in 1969, as it
has for the last eight years, but
at a somewhat slower rate dur-
ing the first few months.
Much depends upon the pro-
gress made in settling the Viet-
nam situation and upon putting
the brakes on inflation, they
say.
The National Industrial Con-
ference Board expects the gross
national product to reach $915
billion this year, as against $860
billion in 1968.
