WHAT'S WHAT ABOUT
SOCIAL SECURITY

Old-age insurance benefits will
be paid to workers who are en-
titled to payment, regardless of
property or other income.
Any amount of earnings (up to
$4,000 in a single year from sim
gle employer) which may be plac-
ed to a workers credit on his So
cial Security account, will entitle
him to corresponding credit to-
ward old-age insurance benefits.
Whether he owns a great deal of
property or none at all, makes no
difference whatever in the mat
ter of old-age insurance. For ex-
ample, a labor foreman, has in
vested his savings in farm. He
continues to work as an employee

seven years after 1886, earns
wages amounting to several thou
sand dollars, reaches the age of
65 and retires to live on his farm
No matter what his farm is worth
or how much money he makes
from his crops, he will receive a
Government check for o1d-age in
surance, every month, the rest of
his life. He might own a store or
a sawmill Or a bank, but if he is
entitled to old-age insurance I'M
der the Social Security Act, he
will get the monthly check just
the same.
The beneficiary of an insurance
policy may receive old-age insur-
ance. A worker who collects rent
from houses, that he owns, may
receive old age insurance. An
employee, who is entitled to old
age Insurance. benefits, may OPP
crate his own store, if he sees fit.
Income from another source does
not affect the payment of old-age
insurance when the employee is
entitled to- such benefits.
Under another title of the So.
cial Security Act-known as "Old.
Age Assistance''-there may be
some regulation concerning prop
erty ownership. But that is up to
the individual states. Some states

have a property clause in their
public assistance laws, some do
not 1t is intended that money for
old-age assistance should go to
those in actual need But the
question of need or of property
ownership does not affect the pay
ment of old-age insurance one
way or the other.

BY THE OLD LAMPLIeHTER

In the early days of Washington
,ountv when mining on a small
scale in keeping with those times,
NOS done in quite a number of
communities. the same was true
If the tanning industry and the
romains of old tan yards are not
rnusual. although little may re-
main TO tell of the activities in
tanning back now perhaps beyond
tho memory of the oldest in
babitants. Those living today
NAV know from hearsay where
tanneries were operated and it
NAV be that some little evidence
NAV yet remain, probably only
deDression in the ground. But in
those days they flourished and it
was from these tan yards that the
leather used in that day was
made.
One of these old tan yards was
located not far south of Smiths
burg and east of Cavetown, on
the road leading across the
mountain to Wolfsville, along a
stream, just at the foot of the
mountain. This was the old Os-
valid tan yard and was an active
place, as tan yards went in those
times. These old tan yards, how
ever. did the work in very sat
isfactory way. For long time
the places where the deep watts
were located could be seen.
In the old horse and buggy
days, and even before, it was no
unusual sight at certain seasons
of the year to see wagon loads OF
men going to the mountain bark
peeling camps. And mountain
roads in the vicinity Of this old
tan yard, like roads still existing
in some remote sections, were
very much unlike the modern
highways of today, with the turns
and jolts few and far between,
and the "breajkers' eliminated.
And for the benefit of those today
accustomed to riding in soft
cushioned cars over surfaces al
most as smooth as glass, as it
were, there were ridges thrown
across the road at perhaps an
angle of 30 degrees. These were
for the purpose of carrying of the
water to the side of the road. At
the same time they served as
rest places for the horses toiling
up the mountain side with a
wagon, heavy even without a
load, especially on these steep
grades. Here the horses would
be stopped, a "chuck" placed
under a rear wheel, and the team
given a chance to 'fbIow" 1t can
easily be seen that a team with
a loaded wagon would be served
an additional advantage by the
breakers. But they made an
uneven and rough road to travel;
however our fore fathers, who
settled here and lived in their
primitive way, did it successfully
and it goes without saying that
we today, in our easy going way
owe them a deep debt of gratitude
and should serve as an example
for us.

war, with soldiers roaming Ou1

streets and doing pretty much as
they pleased, (when they could) a
soldier stood on North Potomac
street up the hill somewhere in
the neighborhood of the "Y" or
st. PauPs M. E. Church today.
Just why we do not know, but he
decided to take a pot shot at the
copper weather vane, Little
Heiskel, on top of the market
house. 1t may be that he did not
see anything else just then at
which to shoot. His aim was
good and the original Little
Heiskel, lying in state today in a
glass case in City Hall, shows the
mortal wound" inflicted. History
does not tell us whether or not
ne took more TIM one shot at
Little Heiskel; probably not, for

pools for our boys and girls and
also for older people if they wish
to battle and swim. How big the
contrast with the "Ole Swimmin"
Hole of by-gone days, although
a few may exist yet in secluded
places. But they are not the rule.
But didn't the "Ole Swimmin
Hole have it's pleasure and
charm. Just hang your clothes on

didn't the boys learn to be swimm-

most pleasurable recollections.

Nation Celebrates
25Oth Anniversary
Swedenborg's Birth

AMAZING as it seems that one
4 4 mind could encompass so many
varied realms of knowledge, never
theless it is true that Emanuel
Swedenborg, the 250th anniversary
of whose birth is being celebrated
this year, made important contribu-
lions in many fields of science, theo-
retical and practical, in statesman
ship, philosophy, and religion.
In 1716-171S he published the first
scientific periodical in Sweden, con-
tanning records of his mechanical
inventions and mathematical dis
coveries, which included the first
airplane design to have fixed wings
and moving propeller, the first air.
pump to employ mercury, and the
description of a method for determin-
ing latitude and longitude at sea by
observations of the moon among the
stars. In the "Principia," a work on
physics and cosmology, he arrived
at the nebular hypothesis theory be-
fore Kant and Laplace. He was $50
years ahead of any other scientist
in his works on the functions of the
brain and spinal cord, and on the
functions of the ductless glands.
Swedenborg served as an active
member of the parliament of his
country for more than fifty years,
introducing fiscal reforms and much
general legislation.
AT the age of fifty-five Emanuel
Swedenborg discontinued his scien-
tific pursuits and began his work as
a theologian, publishing the "Arcana
Coelestia, Apocalypse Explained;
Heaven and He'll; "Four Doc
trines"; Divine Love and Wisdom";
Divine Providence" Apocalypse
Revealed; "Conjugal Love-; '"True
Christian Religion; and other mis-
cellaneous theological works. Infor-
nation regarding the life and
achievements and the works referred
to, will be sent without charge by

dalton, 81 q. And ST., New York City.

the motion will appear one-half as

the cameraman takes the pictures

Der band wrapped around it which
Waldorf-Astoria houseman found
while disposing of pile of rubbish.
Opening it, he discovered a pearl
necklace and several pieces of nov
city jewelry. He turned in his find
and it was promptly restored to its
owner, Junior Lacquer who had
been a guest at the hotel. While
there, she found herself with very
important engagement and without
her favorite evening wrap. A wire
to her mother brought the wrap in
sufficient time. The mother failed
to report, however, that she had en-
closed the pearls and jewelry in the
box and in the daughters haste,
they escaped her eye. The box
was thrown out and eventually
reached the scrap heap where the
houseman found it.
In another case, while Waldorf
employees were sorting soiled linen

was, of course, returned to it's own
err. How it happened to be tossed
into basket along with soiled linen
was not explained.
Seemingly stop for traffic light
change on the crowded streets OF
New York would carry with 1t no
danger of robbery. Recent in
stances have shown that this is not
the case. Over in Brooklyn when
motor car stopped because OF
red light, bandits appeared and took
the car along with a $500 pay roll.
Evidently they had kept watch I'm.
til they were able to time the move
ments of the car so exactly that
they could get possession of it and
make getaway. Most of the other
robberies have been minor, so mi
or that many have not been re-
ported. In the main they were
merely purse-snatchings.
In some sections of the city,
youngsters climb onto the back of
car when it stops for light, and
at the next stop run around and
grab a purse or any valuables lying
on the seat beside the driver. They
vanish before an alarm can be CIV
en-. Their victims are almost in
variably women. So now many
women drive with locked doors and
windows shut. Closed windows are
rather unhandy for signalling. But
they afford protection.
Weather always being more or
less under discussion. at this point
I'll introduce that topic. At the
opening of a new midtown restau-
rant, William Keighley, Hollywood
director. who was on his way to
Florida for vacation, chided
friends about the New York eli
mate. During the conversation, a
telegram was delivered to him. 1t
read: 'Please give permission to
shoot bathing scenes in your swim
ming pool. It's the only heated one
in Hollywood and it's freezing out
here"
Noticing a crowd in front of a
ritzy restaurant, elboWed my way
forward filled with the hope that
