WHAT'S WHAT ABOUT
SOCIAL SECURITY

Many thousands of dollars of
old-age insurance lump-sum bene-
fits are being held by the United
States Treasury owing to the fail
ure OF eligible persons to file
claims. These sums are due to
persons who have reached the
age of SIS since January /, 1897,
and who have worked in covered
employment during that time, and
also to the families and estates
of persons who have died since
January 1, 1887, after working in
covered employment According
to Charles E. Bailey, manager of
the Social Security Board Field
Office at IA West Washington
street, recent study has reveal
ed that, in a majority of cases,
this lump sum payment, amount
ing to 3 IL per cent. of the work
ers wages since January 1, 1897,
has been the only asset left by
the deceased worker.
1t is a surprising fact" Mr..
Bailey continued, that, despite
the continued increase in the
number Of lump-sum payments be-
ing made, so many persons who
ere entitled to lump-sum payments
have not yet filed their claims.
Undoubtedly many persons do not
realize that they are eligible.
Others are confused, perhaps by
the fact that monthly old-age in
surance payments will not COM
mence until 1912.
The claims forms, which eligible
persons must file in order to OBJ
tain the lump-sum payment to
which they are entitled, are very
simple. Copies of the required
forms, together with full assist
ance in filling them out, can be
obtained free of charge from the
Boards Field Office at Hagers-
town. Any person desiring fur
Their information regarding a po-
tential claim is urged to write or
call that office at once.

the Civil War A train was about
to leave for the North. On the
train were known to be a number
of persons who thought it best,
under the circumstances, to
leave. Before the train started a
railroad attendant went through
the train and in a subdued voice
said that all passengers for
Pennsylvania and north should
take the rear coach. They did so
but when the train started the
rear coach was left standing, hav-

close to the Parks home, comes
in for mention. He was sitting
next to the window looking in
that direction and heard soldiers

marks that he had heard her say
more than once that she would
rather die an old maid than
marry a Yankee. However, the
marriage took place, they moved
to California, Captain Haven
having been made a major They
subsequently lived in Panama.
DR.. Leighton Parks died several
weeks ago in London, at the ad-
vanced age of IS. An unmarried
daughter remained with him as
his companion to the time of his
death. Memorial services were

Of the book is Dr. Leighton Parks
nastor emeritus of st. BarthoLo-
news Episcopal Church, New
york City. The book has special
interest on account of its local
historical setting, as DR.. Parks,
who once resided here, uses quite
number Of local references in
his story, written years after the
events recorded occurred. The
date of the book is 1927.
Mrs. James Fndlay and Mrs. J.
sDangler Kieffer are both more
or less familiar with the story as
it appears in the book, especially
names. locations, etc, mentioned
therein. although DIR. Parks has
changed some of these in the
book to what they really were.
DR.. Parks wrote the book from
recollections of his boyhood days,
before the Civil War. He was a
son of an Episcopal minister who
was located at Norfolk, Va. Upon
his death the widow with her five
children, seeking a healthier To-
cality in which to live, moved to
Hagerstown. She and family To-
Gated in a Fashionable rooming
and boarding house. on the pres
ent site of the home of Harold F.
Bester formerly the house occu-
pied by M. F. Riley, president of
the Potomac Edison Company.
DR.. Leighton Parks, as a lad,
was accustomed to accompany old
DR. Clagett Dorsey on his visits
over the city and various dirt
roads in the county, to see pa
tents. This was one of DR.. Parks
vivid recollections.
On one occasion doctor of this
city went to see General Lee with
the Parks lad and another boy.
Lee, Ewell and Hill were met in
a clump of trees "a mile from
Williamsport." The object was
for the confederate generals to &C.
Quire some knowledge of the
roads in this section, having in
view the oncoming battle of Get
tysburg. The writer of the book
clearly indicates that there was
considerable feeling at Hagers-
town at the time of the Civil War
on both sides, this section being
very much divided on account of
its close proximity to both the
North and the South. Mr.. Parks
said the streets of Hagerstown
were thronged with soldiers and
there were thousands upon thou
sands of them as they tramped
through the city toward Gettys-
burg.
Lee, in his interview with the
doctor, inquired about the Cave
town pike, and the traversibility
OF the mountain ahead. "The
Leltersburg Pike" is also mention
ca IN the book. He referred to
visiting Jerusalem, with DR..
dorsey, now Funkstown. Such
names as Updegraff, Bowers. HUI
Sopple, Aughinbaugh, Yingling,
occur in the narrative.

was a niece Of DR. Parks. Another

SEES DISASTER FOR
SOUTH IN POLICIES
Hamilton Fish Says New Deal Pro-
gram Is Losing World Cot
ton Markets for Farmer

Greensboro, Fen. II (AP)-Disaster
for the South if the present New Deal
policies are continued was predicted
here today by Representative Hamil-
ton Fish, Jr., Republican, New York,
who tonight will address the Lincoln
Day gathering of North Carolina Re
publicans.
Fish gave an interview this morn
ing as some 200 Republicans got to-
gether to hear reports of the years
work. This afternoon the younger
party members elected officers and
heard a keynote address by L. l.. Wall,
of WinSton-Salem, congressional
nominee two years ago. The party's
State executive committee was to meet
this afternoon to consider plans to
hold the State convention in Char
lotte.
"The Southern cotton states" Fish
said, "are headed for certain ruin
under the Roosevelt policies. They
are committing economic suicide for
temporary profit, and are losing their
world cotton markets year by year
through the short-sighted policy of
temporary gain"
Rufus Reynolds, Greensboro lawyer,
welcomed the younger party members
at their convention, and Benjamin
Hicks, of Henderson, responded. Pre-
dieting the next President would he a
Republican. Hicks attacked the New
Deal policies as akin to Fascism.
