 Dr. Brooks, 61, has been re- siding and practicing his profes- slon in La Conner, Washington, tor many pears. He was recently implicated in a narcotics case in which he was accused of furnish ing narcotics to the inmates of the Skagit County jail. The phys lclan held the position of county health officer. Dr. Brooks plead guilty to the charges lodged against him by Federal author ities, adding that, the prisoners just got to working on my sym pathies and I fell for it."

Proof of Age Important In Claiming Old-Age Insurance

Inaccuracy in giving ones age when applying for a social se- curity accoun number may delay the payment of old-age insur- ance benefits when the time comes to make claim, MT. Hugh J. Wade. Territorial Director of the Social Security Boards office at Juneau, informed insured workers recently.
 Under the Social Security Act" Mir. Wade explained, "old- age benefits are not payable un- til 65, except in the case of death, when a lump-sum pay ment is made to the wage earn CTS relatives or estate. Proof of age is required of those who file claims for the single cash pay ments made to workers now reaching 65, provided the claim is for more than $100. Proof will probably be required from all workers claiming the regular re- tirement annuities scheduled to begin in 1942."
 The Social Security Board must therefore know the exact date of a workers birth before it approves his claim. If the age, as stated when the claim is pre- sented, does not tally with the birth date which was given in the application for a social se- curity number, complications may arise, so that the worker may have to wait before his claims can be paid.
 In handling the records of the 42-odd million men and women who have already applied for so cal security account number, the Bureau of Old Age Insurance has found evidence that not ev- eryone has exercised the proper care in stating age on his appli- cation. Probably the most ire quent reason for misstatement has been fear on the part of some workers that they would lose their jobs if, in some way, their employers should learn their real age from the inform ation given. Reports of the Blu reau of Old-Age Insurance indie ate that workers rapidly come to accept the Boards repeated as surance that the information giv en it by the employee will un-

LET'S SWIM WITH SAFETY

The swimming season in Alaska as we'll as in continental Amer ica, is here again. Tragic losses of life in this vicinity in past years should serve as warn ing to all to exercise the ut most precaution.
 But all the admonition in the world will not give absolute pro- lection. However, those in author ity and those who engage in the pastime-and parents and GUS todians of children who venture in the water can do much to re duce the casualty and accident list by little foresight and com t11on sense precaution. Proper provision for safety devices and means of rescue at popular swim ming places also will help lot.
 Swimming appeal to nearly ev cry person. It is sport that de- serves it's popularity, but, just the same, it is dangerous. No one can tell when peril is near and the water is no place in which to take chances.
 Swimmers should be careful if they want to live. The idea that "it can't happen to me- is no protection against cramps that drown the strongest men. It does not protect the occupants of over turned boats who cannot swim a stroke. It gives no strength to the foolhardy swimmer who weakens himself, or herself, by prolonged and solitary expedi- tons in the water

der no circumstances be passed on to the employer. Many peo- pie, realizing the later difficult ies which may result from inac- curate age statements have sent the Board further information and asked that their records be corrected. The Board is prepared to make such corrections on re- quest from the account-number holder.
 Mir. Wade stated that the Board also wishes 10 make proof of age at the time benefit claim is filed as simple as is consistent with businesslike procedure, Its experience to date In the settle ment of lump-sum claims indi- cates that most people will have little difficulty in producing evl- dence that will be accepted by the Board as proof of their age declarations.
 It was explained that accept able evidence may be obtained from a wide variety of sources. The Board will accept as unques tionable proof First, a copy Of a birth certificate; second, copy of an infant baptismal certitlc- ate; and third, the sworn state ments of two persons, such as a physician and nurse, who have personal knowledge of the date of birth Recognizing that in many cases it is virtually inn possible for older people to ob- tain such primary evidence, the Board has provided for the sub mission of secondary evidence. 1t has ruled that when the appllc- ant for benefits explains in writ ing that such evidence cannot be obtained without great difficulty and considerable expense, other evidence will be considered. In general, documents or copies of documents of many types show ing the individuals age may be submitted, if dated prior to Aug ust IA, 1885 the date of the signing 0 fthe Social Security Act. Much evidence of this sort will be accepted by the Board, especially when supported by supplementary material.
 For example, the birth record in the old family bible may be brought forward, or a search of old school records may reveal the workers birth date as record ed in those years before he felt the desirability of lowering his age by year or two. Even if man or women is unable to To- cate any of these records dating from his childhood, other possib- ilitieS remain. Almost everyone can get copies of age statements made at the time of joining some fraternal, civic, or religious so- ciety, or when he took out in- surance, obtained a job in any branch of the Government serv- ice-Federal State, or local-or for that matter, with private business concern. Still other sources for verification may be found in the enrolment records of the War and Navy Depart ments. Passports, marriage cert ificates, and other Government records will also be accepted as corroboratiVe evidence.

When you come out Of the sun It
is wise to wash of the oil with
warm water, being careful not to
rub the skin roughly, and apply a
coating Of vinegar. If your skin Is
normally dry or if sou feel that you
have been exposed Over-lOng, you
might rub a bit Of rich cream into
your skin and leave 1t on overnight.
Drink plenty Of water before and
after being In the sun. The heat of
the sun makes you perspire and you
need more water to replace the fluid
thus lost.
Don't be frightened out Of your

Of Over-expOsure to the sun. Just

MAKE SUN TANNING FUN

The outdoors present an IRE
sistible invitation to all Of US during
the summer. There are so many
things to do-swlmming, games,
sun-bathing, motOring-that we rush
headlong into the sun and fail to
take the proper precautions against
its disastrous effects. A little sun,
of course, is excellent for health,
being the source of the much talked
of Vitamin D. It helps build up re-
sistance to colds and strengthens US
generally. But taken in over-dOses,
it can make US severely uncOm-
Portable, even to the extent Of a
fever, commissions and rapid pulse.
And so it follows that we must take
our summing gradually and sys-
tematically.
Apply Oil Freely
Before you go out In the sun for
any length of time, cover all the ex-
posted parts Of your body with a
cream or oil. Olive oil is very eff
fective applied both before you go
out in the sun and after coming in.
The sun has a tendency to dry up
all the natural oils in the skin and
the olive oil helps keep it lubri-
Gated. If you are out long enough
for the first application of oil to
dry out, be sure to use some more.
Dry skins sun tan more easily and
wrinkle faster than oily ones. Tn
less you keep your skin well lubri-
