TERMS OF WILL
 TO BE ENACTED.
Fathers Court Action to Have Document Declared
 Void Is Dropped

Distribution of worldly effects of the late Barbara Rutelonis who died here February 16, 1886 will be made in accordance with the terms of her last will and testament. Su- perior court action which was taken by her father, Joseph Jokubauskas resident of Lithuania, and seeking to have the will declared void, was dropped today.
 The will was admitted to probate by Judge Dennis J. Slavin in March, 1886. The will provided for the distribution of $2,500 cash and about $1,00 worth of goods to num- erous friends and relatives. The father was only left $10.
 Immediately after Judge Slavin admitted the will to probate, Mr. Jokubauskas, through Attorney Casimir Lukosius of this city filed the appeal. The case has been awaiting trial until today when the withdrawal papers were filed. Att torney 0. A. Balanda appeared to oppose the protest.
 With the withdrawal of the ap- peal, the money and property will be distributed in accordance with the terms of the will. Rev. Joseph Valantiejus is residuary legatee.

Life at 65! Government to Pro- vide Income for Life or Pay Lump Sums
 Under SS
 A ct.

In this article, the fourth in 8 series of explanations, on the va rious features of the Social Secur- ity act, information is furnished for those who will reach the age of 65 within the next few years. It explains another important fea- ture of Uncle Sam's legislation to make life more attractive for the aged.
 There is now a law in this country which will give millions of working people something to live on when they are old and have stopped working. This law is called the Social Security Act.
 Under this law, beginning in 1942, the United States Govern ment will send checks every month to retired workers, both men and women, after they have passed their 65th birthday and have met a few simple require ments of the law.
 There is also provision under the Social Security Act for the workers who are so close to their 65th birthday they will not have chance to qualify for monthly old-age insurance before they reach the age of retirement. Those who are not eligible for monthly old-age insurance receive 8 lump-sum payment on reaching 85. They do not have to retire to receive this type of payment.
 How do they benefit under this law? The Government agrees to make a lump-sum payment to these older employees, who work some time in employment, includ- ed under the law, after the first of January, 1897, and before they reach their 65th birthday.
 AS we have explained before, the old-age insurance provisions of the Social Security Act went into operation January l, 1887. That is why no wages earned before that date are taken into account. You must also remember that wages earned by worker after he reaches the age of 65 are not counted in his wage record.
 Suppose Bill Young, a stone mason, aged 62, goes on working as an employe of @ construction company for six or seven years longer. On reaching age 65 he may file aaim for a lump-sum payment iTm the Government, amounting A) 3h percent of all the wages hs earns after January 1, l037, and before he attains the age of 65. If he earns total wages of, say, $7,800 in the construction business between January 1, I037. and the time he reaches the age of 85) then his lump-sum payment should be 3A percent of S7,800 or $273. Tn order to re- ceive this payment he does not have to give up his job at all. He can take the check, use 1t as he Bees fit, and go right on working in any kind of employment he chooses. as long as he is able.
 NEXT WEEK: Read in this paper the Difference in Monthly Old-Age Insurance Lump-Sum Payments.
 question concerning this sub- ject may be sent to Robert E.. Austin, Manager, Social Security Board Field office, 10e Bank Street. Waterbury, Connecticut. Answers will appear in this paper.

 Also note the inscrutable smile of the ermine-wearing monarch, count ing the take after the tax collectors have been on the job.
 Act HI The queen ............... Marle It's a question, of course, which is the incest work if you can get it. Ringing or queening. Marie, though is apparently one of the queens of the old school. She knows what she wants and goes and gets it, royal robes or no royal robes.
 Act W The Maid. .................. Emile The denuouement of this drama marks it as stark tragedy of the social revolution. The moral is that for royalty, there's nothing but singing pies, money, and honey; for the lower classes-all work and what do you get for it? Your nose snap ped off.
