THE NEW SOCIAL SECURITY ACT


A number of changes in the Soc
ial Security Act were made when a
bill to amend the act was passed
by Congress last August. A few of
the changes relate to unemploy-
ment compensation; some to. pub
measures; but most of the amend
ments pertain to that part of the
law which provides old-age insur-
ance and survivors benefits.
In the State of Maryland, there
are more than $4,000 persons who
now have social security account
numbers; and most of them want to
know how the changes in the law ap-
ply to them. BY way of supplying
information to our readers this
paper begins today, series of
articles, each of which will explain
one point of one provision of the
new social security program.
Three of the amendments to the
act concern almost every family in
the United States, in one way or
another:
/. The wage of one percent re-
mains the same until 1943.
That is, the tax will not be
increased next year, as was
provided under the old law.
2. In addition to monthly pay
ments to insured wage earn
ers who are eligible for bene-
fits after reaching age 65,
monthly benefits will be paid
to the aged wives and minor
children of these annuitants;
and monthly benefits are pro-
vided for aged widows, for
orphans, and for widows with
minor children of insured
wage earners who die.
8. Monthly benefits will begin
two years earlier than was
provided in the original act,
which means that the first
monthly payments of old-age
insurance will be made in
1910 instead of 1942.

ENCOURAGING REPORT NEW
HOSPITAL AT SEWARD

SEWARD - Recent activities of
the Seward Chamber of Commerce to
interest the office of Indian Affairs
in the building of a hospital at
Seward for the care of tubereular
patients are having direct results,
Judging from a letter the chamber
has just received from the depart
ments headquarters in Juneau.
Excerpts from the letter written
by Claude NJ. Hirst, general super
intendent of the bureau, read at the
noon luncheon-meeting of the cham
Der follows:
"A six-year building program has
been planned for schools and medi-
cal work in Alaska, and We are
pleased to advise you that Seward is
included in the list of projects for
a general hospital, with provisions
for tubercular patients. However, it
is impossible to say just when this
can be accomplished 1t is apparent
that Congress has become more in
terested in the medical work in the
territory during the past few years,
and has approved appropriations for
the construction of hospitals at
Point Barrow, Bethel, Kanakanak
and Tanana."

KODIAK HAS LARGEST NUMBER
OF LIVESTOCK N ALASKA

FAIRBANKS - In the Kodiak
area there Is by far the largest num-
Der Of livestock of any district in
Alaska, declared l. NJ. c. Anderson,
who has charge Of the livestock de-
partment of Agricultural Expert
ment Stations in the Territory.
Mr. Anderson has just returned
to his headquarters in Fairbanks
from an official trip that took him to
Kodiak CordoYa and Valdez. He
made the complete circuit of Kodiak
Island.
There are large bands of both
cattle and sheep on Kodiak island,
sitkaIdak island and Chirikof is
land. Mr.. Anderson said.
Kodiak and sitkalidak islands are
estimated to have above 500 head of
cattle each, while Chirikof is said
to have about 1000 head. sitkali-
dak IS estimated TO have approx
mately 1000 head of sheep.
Although I did not make a trip
TO the western Aleutian area. that
area is the pasture for more than
1,400 head of sheep.
Livestock classification and sell
ection has largely been carried on by
local owners in the past, but the eX-
tension service hopes to inaugurate
"a planned program for raising stock
standards in the area.
With the coming of a cold stor-
age plant at Kodiak a greatly i'm
proved condition will be brought
about for handling meats and it is
expected will make for a fast de-
Yelopment of beef and mutton pro-
duotion. This industry IS held back
somewhat at present due to the fact
that these products must be han
died strictly as fresh meats and he
infrequeney of boat service between
the various parts of the islands re-
duces possible coverage to a com
paratiYely small limit.
Mr.. Anderson conducted a deho9n-
ing operation at the Cordova Dairy
as a demonstration. He also made
an inspection and recommendations
relative to the new barns and equip
ment at the dairy.

ELKS NOTES
By the Publicity Chairman

Beginning several days ago with
the sale of tickets for their Milk
Fund Frolic which is to be given on
September 2nd. the local Elks made
a definite start toward the drive for
building up their Charity Fund, the
greatest portion of which is used
for the purpose of supplying milk
to some of the least fortunate Wran-
gel children.
So far, it has been customary for
the Elks to buy milk for certain
youngsters who are thought most
needful. only during the coolest por-
tions of the year. For example, dur
ing the last fiscal year of the lodges
activities, milk was given to those
children during the months of April,
May and November to March, in
elusive. During this same period of
time, about thirteen hundred bot
ties Of milk were paid for from the
Charity Fund besides a five dol
lar donation to the Red Cross and
ten dollars to the Christmas Basket
Fund.
Il it were possible to do so with
out calling ON the cooperation of
the community, the lodge would like
to be able to spend considerably
more for the purchase of milk, but
because it is beyond the power of
the lodge, il is calling on the public
to help as much as possible.
On September End, The Elks are
giving their first annual Milk Fund
Frolic at the ANB Hall. While the
committeeman have not revealed de-
finitelys what particular kinds of
games and entertainment they will
have, It is a foregone conclusion
that anyone who attends the frolic
will have coolies of fun.
At a recent general committee
meeting, chairman Parke Stump ap-
pointed Frank Winston, Al Toryan-
or, Leo Osterman, James Nolan and
Chas. Wagner to take care of the
games and music; Nels Stensland
and Ronald Curtis to serve lunch;
Judge Fred Hanford to serve re-
freshments; Van Fisk to act as
ticket and door man; and Joel Wing
as publicity agent.
Remember: Various business
houses have tickets for sale. Be
sure to buy one-or more.

TENNIS PROVES POPULAR
WrangeH is playing tennisl

Wrangell has played tennis be
fore in a small way. on make-shift
courts, but the enthusiasts have a
real court now-and that is news!
The story of the attempt to get
a tennis court for the town dates
back many years. In the early TWEEN
ties, led by Miss Hazel Reese, prin-
eipaI of the school, whose interest
in the young people with whom she
worked had such far-reaehing CON
sequences as sehool-meets and other
competitive endeavors, a group Of
young people made a good beginning
on a court and equipment on P. {.
Mccormack lot adjoining his resi-
dence. Lack of leadership. careless
ness in regard to equipment and the
rapid growth of brush on the lot
subsequently wiped out what had
been done. From time to time, a net
has been made for a court that the
front of the present City Hall and
players have enjoyed a game there
but during the past half a dozen
years, the make-shift idea has been
shelved and a real determined effort
has been mad for a court that the
town could be proud of. It has been
attained through the cooperation of
the town with those who believe a
community can make no better in
Yestment than to provide whole
some. bodybuilding recreation for
its young people and the young peo-
pie are showing their appreciation.
Located, as it is, on a height from
which a glorious view is obtained,
and in the exact center of the town.
it commands attention. Filling a
want that has been felt for so long,
it draws a group of players from as
early in the morning as six o'clock
until darkness sets in. Those who
have worked for the court feel a
deep sense of satisfaction in the
project and ask only that the play
ers will give the court the care it
deserves and a "play-and-let-play"
policy.

MODERN FREIGHTER CARRIES
BOX CARS FOR ALASKA

SEWARD - The Mary D.. big
gest freighter in port for a long
time, locked this morning. The huge
400-foot vessel is under command of
Capt. K. Johannessen, and if any
body wants a fight with him just
suggest that possibly there may be
a better ship somewhere in the
world than the Mary D, owned by
the Pacific American Fisheries, at
present under charter by the Alaska
Steamship Co.
The Mary D. brought 1000 tons
of miscellaneous freight in addition
to six box cars from the old Copper
River & Northwestern Ry. Co.
equipment at Cordoya. Returning to
Prince William sound, the Mary D.
calls at Nellie Juan. Cordoya and
Valdez, making return trip to this
port with an additional II freight
cars, delivery to be to the Alaska
Railroad.
Captain Johannessen made his
first trip TO Alaska in 1903, a sailor
aboard the steamer Spokane on It's
first trip to Skagway. He has been
sailing to Alaska steadily since
1911 but it was 80 years ago that
he last called at Seward He has
been with the PAF for &c years.
The Mary D is outfitted with an
Iron Mike, direction finder, and
Sperry-Gyro compass. The ship has
a forward hatch IS feet long and
tank capacity for 100000 gallons
fish oil.

Carpenters Favor
Uniform HOLIDAYS

Halifax, N. S. (LNS).-The Can
adian locals of the United Brother
hood of Carpenters and Joiners, are
taking the lead in movement for full
observance of statutory holidays. This
is to combat a trend developing
through Canada among merchants and
manufacturers, of a policy of busi
ness as usual on legal holidays. Busi-
ness men claim they have been dis
eliminated against in an overdose Of
public holidays, and have been keep
ing their stores and factories open for
at least part Of many of the holidays.
At Halifax, the Carpenters and
Joiners local went on record as favor
ing complete cessation of business on
all legal Dominion holidays, and no
tifying the city council, provincial and
Dominion governments of it's attitude.
1t was pointed out that several of this
years public holidays had not been
fully observed in the Halifax district,
and that, in future, the union would
like to see stoppage of all work on
such days.
Uniformity is aimed at, so that in
all centres, the question of whether
work will be stopped or not will not
rest wholly on the local business men,
but the enforcement of the law shall
be in the hands of the Dominion au-
thorities.
