One of the greatest social ex- periments United States has adopted in recent years is the federal old-age insurance. In a series of explanations the local office of the Social Security Board has explained the purpose Of the plan and how it operates. Today in the fifth of the series it ex- plains the type of payments. The official statement is as follows:
 There are three types of federal old-age insurance. First, the monthly benefit payments; sec ond, the lump-sum payments which are provided for workers who reach 65 before they qualify for monthly benefit payments; and, third, the death payment which goes to the estates of workers who die before they draw benefits to which they are en- titled.
 Effective 1942
 The purpose of old-age insur- ance, which begins in 1942, is to provide a monthly income for qualified workers after they reach the ago of 65, so they can retire. During 1942 and thereafter many older employees will be leaving their regular jobs in business or industry and applying for month ly old-age insurance.
 Before he can receive monthly benefits, the wage earner must be at least 65 years old. He must have earned at least $2,000 Gin employment not excepted under the laW) since January l, 1887, and before he reached the age of 65. He must have worked Gin employment not excepted un- der the law) some time q day or more) in each of at least five different calendar years, between the first of January, 1887, and the day he reached the age of 65. No monthly old-age insurance is pay able until the first of January, 1942.
 But lump-sum payments are already being made. Those who are entitled to lump-sum pay ments of old-age insurance are men and women who have earned wages since January l, 1887, in some factory, mill, mine, store, or some other line of industry or business covered by the law; and who have attained the age of 65 since January l, 1887. Some of them are still holding their jobs. They need not retire in or der to receive lump-sum pay mentS.
 Estates
 The Government, under the So- cial Security Act, also makes payment to relatives or estates Of wage earners who have died, and who have qualified for benefits since the first of January, 1887.
 Here are three little stories which illustrate the three types of old age insurance:

New York, April 16-(UP)-Wil- liam Brewster Ely has started to college. Last month he was in kin dergarten. His playmates call him Billy. Some of them can't talk plainly, for he is but five years old.

TOWN GIVEN BACK
 ITS ELECTRICITY

Thayer, Mo-. April 16.-(UP).- Electricity returned to the town to- day on orders of the Missouri Pub lice Service Commission and the people who had been living like pioneers since Thursday morning put away their kerosene lamps, wood stoves and ice boxes again.
 The public service commissions intervention was not asked. Up to the last minute, R. H. Williams, city council president, said he hoped the Arkansas Missouri Power company would "get out of town," and the people were reconciled to three months of backwoods conveniences until a municipal power plant could be built.
 The power comapny had the switches pulled because of dispute with the city over the municipal plant. The state commission, on its own volition, notified the power company that it was violating its certificate of convenience and nec- essity" and would be liable to a fine of $1,000 each day it disobeyed the order.

Hollywood, April 16- (UP) - Jackie Coogan won the first round of his legal fight with his mother and his step-father today.
 Deputy sheriffs broke through the fence surrounding the Coogan man. sion where Jackie is now persona non grata because he has sued for an accounting of the $4,000,000 he earned as child actor, forced their way into the mansion, and served subpoenas on Mrs. Lillian Coogan Bernstein and Arthur l.. Bernstein in Mrs. Bernstein's bedroom.
 The subpenas require the Bern stein's to appear at the offices of Jackie's lawyers Monday and an- swer questions for deposition con- corning their handling of the mill lions which Jackie earned, and their statements to the press since he filed his suit.
 After process servers had been unable to get nearer the Bernsteins than the electrically locked front gate, Jackie's lawyers obtained a court order for Deputies Carl Refs and Floyd Tumbelson to serve the subpoenas-by whatever force they found to be necessary.
 The deputies telephoned the house from the front gate when they reached the mansion in Van Nuys. A maid told them: They're not home" Here we come," the depu- ties said. They crashed the gate. They received no answer when they rang the doorbell, so they walked in and went upstairs. A womans voice came from a bedroom. The

definite fears, or the inability to get along with people. The abnormal satisfying of such instincts when recognized, can often be directed into more wholesome channels. This is our job, and in it the help of other social agencies is invaluable. It is only through the availability of all types of resources and facilities that the variety of the needs repre- sented can in any way be met.
 we are also hopeful that a close relationship between some of these children and the psychi- atrist will obviate the more official or legal relationship of the court which, in any childs life, is an un- fortunate experience. Already only about 35 per cent of those referred to us present problems which make it necessary for them to appear be- fore the judge, and we hope that by more intensive psychological coun- sel We can get at causes and help more young people avoid serious trouble later"

FIRE THREATENS HISTORIC HOME
East Main Street Resi- dence Scene of Morning
 Blaze; Slight Damage
(BY THE FIRE MARSHALL

Fire this morning threatened an old and historic wood frame struc- ture at 383 East Main street, which has been in the family of the Mo- Evoys and the Lawlors for ever so many years. You have passed it daily for a long time in the belief that the little old fashioned clap board covered building was almost fireproof.
 Four families live in the three story affair, two on each of the up- per floors. On the east side, second floor, are MT. and Mrs. John Mac Leland, a young couple, not mar ried so very long. It was in their apartment the fire started, in an electric ceiling fixture, probably To- cated there long before either of the MacLellands were born. On the side opposite, lives Billy Riley and his aunt; years ago Billy was an active and wide awake fireman, and figured in many of the depart ments activities in 8 day now passed. But BillyS presence Hlaos us think of some of the days when he rode "lickey-split" behind some of the fastest fire horses Waterbury ever provided for its fire depart ment.
 In the third floor lived Mrs. Nora Flynn on the west side, and Mrs. George H. Mullen Oil the east side.
 The first floor is occupied by Saps restaurant, Edward J. Domln- que, cobbler, and Wong Foo, a Chinese laundryman.
 Poor wiring was blamed for the trouble that caused the fire. Smoke filled the upper floors, and drove some of the late sleepers an hour earlier than expected.
 The damage was not a great deal. The alarm was first received at SPA o'clock, telephone call, tol- lowed at 8:2T with a box arairm from No. 16 at the corner ot Cherry street.
