THE
FAMILY TRAIL.
M. LOUISE c.. HASTINGS

Conclusion of 'The Beautiful Dark")
A "family- trail" is we'll worth
making. Preferably, select some path
that leads through the fields, by the
roadside and through the woods. Sc
lect mmistakable signs, so there will
be no possible way to take wrong
paths in the dark. Travel this trail
all together in the daytime, over and
over again. Get the children familiar
with the trees, the bushes and the
rocks. Then take a walk there just
before dark, and at another time Just
after dark, and then some evening
after the darkness has settled into
night.
Travel this "family trail" at differ
ent seasons, month by month. Go out
in the early winter morning and study
the footprints of night-hunting ami
mails. Do this again in midsummer
after rainstorm, while the ground
is muddy and impressionable to foot
prints. Fear of night noises, fear of
night creatures unless you live
where dangerous ones prowl-fear of
shadows, will all be forgotten in the
fun of travelling together and find
ing treasures of the nighttime, on
your own special trail that you have
made together and found interesting
at many different times of year.
knowing why" is a good game to
play at any season, and to appreciate
the many activities of nighttime we
must explain to our children that
Nature needs workers in the darkness
as well as in the light. They will be
delighted after examining pictures of
the owl to go out at night and hear
him and maybe see him at work. They
will like to study with you the foods
of different night-prowling creatures
and the way they defend themselves.
Take the boys and girls out at
twilight some summer evening and
watch the toad do his work for
Nature. Explain how he uses his
tongue. Talk about the tools that each
different animal has had given him,
in order that he may do his work the
best way. knowing why" leads to
reading and study, not just along out
door lines, but along every line all
through life. 1t is good game to
start together as a family.
1t is interesting to learn to distin-
guish the many different night odors
as they are blown through the air,
and let us not forget the advantages
of carrying flashlights occasionally on
our trips along the trails we take. 1t
is fascinating thing to watch the
night moths Of summertime feasting
on the flowers that open for their
pleasure and for their own benefit.
There are all sorts of ways to keep
the interest high. Let us try them
all! BY so doing we help to make the
dark really beautiful in our child
ren's eyes.

Information On
SociuI Security

Editors Note:-This is another ar
ticle of series dealing with questions
concerning the amended Social Sc
curity Act. Individual inquiries for
this column may be addressed to the
editor. The information is being sup
piled by Edwin V. Faulhaber, man
ager of the Social Security Board
field office in Youngstown, o.
Q.-John Doe has been wholly un-
employed for more than three years
Can he obtain monthly benefits under
the new program of old-age and sur
vivors insurance which goes into effect
January 1?
Ale cannot. Benefits are paid
only to those workers who have been
in jobs covered by this system. Such
workers must reach age 65 and must
retire from covered employment in
order to receive benefits after Janu-
ary of next year.
Q.-Mary Smith retires in 1910.
after having worked in jobs covered
by the Social Security Act. She is
found to be entitledsto monthly bene-
fits of $3.50. After receiving these
benefits for several months she goes
back to work at her old job as book
keeper in a department store. What
happens in such cases?
Aft she earns SIS or more in any
one month her benefits are suspended
for that month, in such cases. This
will happen every month she earns SIS
or more in covered employment. When
she again retires here benefits will
be resumed.
Q.-Mary Smiths husband, John
also is entitled to monthly benefits
after the first of next year. He retires,
buys farm and raises chickens. His
earnings are $50 month. Does he
lose his monthly benefits because of
his income?
A.-No, farming is not covered by
the social security program. Income
from this source will not result in any
one losing monthly benefits to which
he may be entitled under the amended
Social Security Act.
Q.-Suppose John Smith has wife,
Mary, who is 65 at the time he retires
at the same age. Mary has never
worked in commerce or industry.
John is found to be entitled to a
monthly benefit of $3.50. Will any
thing additional be paid to Mary un-
der these circumstances?
A.-Yes, she will be entitled to a
benefit in her own right. 1t will
amount to one-half of her husbands
benefit, or SLIPS in this case. Mr.. and
Mrs. Smith will therefore receive COM
bined monthly benefits Of $33.75.
Off Mr.. Smith should keep on
working after age 65 would he re-
ceive benefits?
A.-Not until he retires. His wages,
in covered employment, will be sub
ject to taxes just the same as if he
were a younger man. Benefits never
begin until worker has retired from
his job, after reaching age 65.
Q.-Mr. Smith dies year after
his benefits started. Will Mr.. Smiths
benefits cease at that time?
A.-No, she is over 65 and therefore
will receive a widows benefit. This
will be three-fourths of the benefit to
which her husband was entitled. The
amount in this case will be $16S7 a
month. This will be paid as long as
she lives, or until she remarries.

Local Property Reassessments

Chicago, Ill.-Twenty-one of the As
state tax departments have specific
authority either to require a general
reassessment of property by local as
SCISSORS or to make it themselves, ac-
cording to a survey by the National
Association of Assessing Officers. Re-
assessment powers are intended to be
used only in the event the local assess
ment roll is so erroneous that it can
not be remedied through the ordinary
review and equalization processes.
They are seldom resorted to except on
request of local authorities or on de-
mand of a substantial body Of local
taxpayers, the Association said.
