Security Officer
Here tuesdays

Workers who qualify for monthly
payments under the social security act
must be fully insured individuals in
order TO obtain these benefits. This
statement is made by Charles L. Hick-
CIV. manager of the Dearborn field Of
flee Of the Social Security Board.
Many persons who have called at
our office seeking monthly payments
which are now being made to insured
workers who reach age 50 and retire
from employment covered by the social
security act do not understand the re-
ouirements for obtaining these bene-
fits.
1T is necessary to meet several re-
CuirementS in order TO obtain the
monthly checks A worker must have
served in employment covered by the
social security act. he must have reach
ed age % and he must retire from
Jobs Of this nature. In addition he
must be a fully insured individual.
70 be fully insured worker must
show that he has earned $50 or more
in one-half of the calendar quarters
which have elapsed since the social
security act went into effect in Janu-
ory. 1887. or since the worker reached
age u. whichever is later.
Once a wage Garner can show forty
quarters of such earnings he is insured
throughout his lifetime.
There also are currently insured
workers whose status applies only in
case of death. A currently insured
wage Garner is one who earned at least
so in six or more calendar quarters,
in covered employment, in the II cal
rndar quarters Immediately before his
death.
Where the deceased worker was
only currently insured, payments are
made to his widow if she has unmar-
ried children under Is years of age in
her care If no widow survives pay
ments are made TO the legal guardian
or the guardian in fact of such I'M
married minor children. However,
children between the age of 16 and Is
must regularly attend school TO be eli
gible to receive monthly payments.
If no one who would be entitled to
receive monthly payments survives the
deceased wage Garner, then under GER
tain circumstances lump sum pay
ments may be made" Mr.. Hickey said.
He further stated that a representa-
tive of the Dearborn office of the So
cial Security Board would be station
ed in the WyandOtte pOstOffice every
Tuesday from 8 am. To l pm. in the
Monroe pOStOffice every Wednesday
from 9 am. to pm. and in the Ply
mouth pOstoffice on the second and
fourth Thursday of each month from
y am. 10 pm.
This representative will be i'll the
pOStOffice for the convenience of those
residents in the vicinity who may wish
any information or services which the
Social Security Board offers" Mr.
Hickey said. No charge. of course, is
made for any of these services"

Ice Fields of Colorado
Continue Steady Retreat

1t may not be for several hundred
years, but some day Colorado is GO
ing to be entirely devoid of glaciers,
according to expert prediction.
Officials of Rocky Mountain Ma
uonal park, an expansive area high
In Colorado's Rockies above Denver
In which two enormous glaciers have
existed for some $4,000 years, have
found that the ice fields have re-
ceded q small amount since 1892.
They took advantage of what they
termed comparatively new sci
ence" advanced by the American
Geophysical union involving glacier
study and measurement.
It was learned, the officers said,
that the mighty Tyndall glacier, 10
Gated between Flat-top mountain
and towering Hallett peak near
Estes park village, has receded "a
feet eight inches in the last seven
years. The recession might have
been greater, it was said, If the
exceptionally heavy snowfall of 1897
had not allowed the ice body to ex-
pand l37 feet seven inches.
The other ice field, Andrews gla-
cier, situated near by, has dropped
back 43 feet FIVE inches in the seven
years. It advanced 81 feet seven
inches in the 1878 winter.
THE study Of glaciers is a COM
paratively new SCIENCE" Park Nat
uralist Raymond Gregg explained.
1T was less than 100 years ago
that European scientists took up the
study Of Alpine bodies of ice.
In the United States, the Ameri-
can Geophysical union, established
20 years ago, has set up commit
tee on glacier study. The surveys
are expected to divulge valuable
information on weather cycles and
tendencies to modern glaciers as re-
lated to past or hypothecated future
glacial epochs.
In 1928 the studies of rate of mo-
ton, advance and recession were be-
gun in the park" the naturalist dis
closed.
Extensive records and maps have
been acquired until an intricate sys-
tenn of noting minute movements of
the ice fields has been developed.
During the years of observing and
examining the glaciers, many in
stances of interest have taken place,
Gregg said. In the midst of one in
vestigation the carcass of a deer
was uncovered. The body was re-
markedly well preserved, he said,
and some scientists in the party in
dictated belief it had lain in the ice
for a great many years.

South African Ghosts

Ghosts have been plentiful in
South Africa recently, according to
tales told by excited Europeans and
natives. The Naauwpoort ghost in
an abandoned house near Bloem-
fontein has reappeared, and when a
medium and the owner of the farm
investigated and found gold and sill
yer coins wrapped in decayed cloth
in a wall a search for SIS, 900 re-
ported hidden on the farm was start
ed. A white horse is said to gallop
among the graves of concentra-
ton camp near Erasmus. Europe
ans failed in hunt at night to bag
a serpent reported by natives. Many
serpent tales are believed to be
bottled menageries. The prize
puzzler, however, is the ghost heard
walking about the police station in
Paari without being seen.

SWOrdfiSh Sinks q Boat

After an encounter with a giant
swordfsh, the Fateh Ell Khair, an
Arab dhow was sunk near Berbera,
British Somaliland. The passengers
were awakened by a crash. Water
poured in through a rent in the
ships side, made by the charge of
the sea monster. The screams of
the terrified people on board attract
ed another dhow, which rescued pas
sengers and crew before the dis
abled boat foundered. The giant
swordfsh is rarely seen, but it is
known and feared by all dhow mas
tiers. It's usual weight is 200 to 300
pounds, and its charge, with it's
sharp sword, easily penetrates the
eimsy timber of the native dhows.
