SSA Death Benefits

Speaking OF social security'S
third birthday, how about this?
Only about so per cent Of the
people live past 65. Under the
Social Security Act, survivors Of
those who die before 65 are en-
titled to death benefits. Are all
these benefits being paid, or,
as is rumored, is the Govern
ment evading about rs per cent
of these claims? SKEPTICAL.

people, the son might resent the
fact that papa and mama are
going to make sure that the hus-
band does right by their daugh-

what his wife says but also what
his mother-in-law wants. On the
other hand, a well-meaning
mother-in-law can be just the
opposite and far too doting to

She had a crazy complex for

explains her love for Teddy New

mains as strong as ever. For
some reason she has spread be-

Teddy himself had not torn

that very skill.
While running away from the
enemy over a period of IL days

I killed a number Of men. It was
them or me and I never had any
qualms about the slaughter. But
a mutual friend informed this
dancer-singer that I had knitted
to death twice as many men as
Teddy had ever shot. This was
at the start of their romance
and he had not as yet taken a
grip-forever on her heart.
The next night I went to the
Green Mill. along with Teddy
and two other newspaper re-
porters. The girl raced over to
our table as soon as she had
finished her number. Her eyes
shone with enthusiasm and she

"BIessings''

Just finished reading a letter
in the Voice." titled Lacking
Dignity" by a certain c. L. T.
AS he states: "These are New
Deal tactics and we shouldn't
be surprised" I will state that
the war veterans, who were
blessed in 1888 by this Double
Deal, have long ago learned to
expect almost any kind of a
deal from the bottom of the
deck.
Every now and then some
political Palooka, running for
office, accuses the veterans Of
being Communists, Fascists or
NaziS. This is done to garner
votes.
There are no American citi-
zenS who have more patriot
ically, more eloquently, more
logically and more convincingly
called upon the U. S. citizens to
go to the polls and vote in a
dignified manner, for American
ideals" than these same war
veterans. The fact that such
speeches have not found their
way into the American press
does not belle the fact.
One Of the great obstacles
standing in the way of economic
and political recovery today is
the blessing or penalizing of the
politician at the polls.
