age.
Age Important
Since the law specifies that
monthly insurance is payable to
the widow with dependent chill
dren under age 16, or age 10 if
still in school, to the widow after
age IS, and to the young depend
ent children of a fully insured
worker who dies, at any age, it is
necessary for the Social Security
Board to have some acceptable
proof that the age of the widow
or children is such as to justify
the payments.
But a claimant will be given
every opportunity" said Mr.. Aus
tin, ito supply the required proof.
The applicant probably will be
asked if he has birth certifi-
cate. AS a matter of fact, birth
certificates of persons now 65
years old or more are compare
lively scarce. In only eight states
and the District of Columbia had
the practice of keeping birth GER
tificates been adopted before
1874. Four OF the eight states,
however, are in New England. The
District of Columbia began the
keeping of such records in 1874;
Florida in 1865; Massachusetts, in
1850; Michigan in 1867: New
Hampshire in 1910; New Jersey in
1848; Rhode Island in 1853; Ver-
mont in 1857; and Virginia in
1883"
The keeping of birth records
in Connecticut, MI. Austin said,
was begun in 1897; and in 1892
in Maine.
Family Bible
Mr.. Austin added that in the
event an applicant is unable to
produce birth certificate or a
church record, such as the bap-
tiSmal record, he may submit the
statements of the doctor or mid
wife with personal knowledge of
his birth, o. affidavits from two
other persons who have knowledge
of the date of his birth. But rec
ognizing that this type of evidence
would, In most cases, be as un-
available to man of IS as birth
certificate or a baptismal record,
the boards representative will
suggest that he turn to the old
family Bible. He may find there,
inscribed on one of the pages de-
signed for the recording of family
records, the date and place of his
birth.
If such testimony cannot be pro-
duced, the board will open the
way to the presentation Of a mis-
cellaneous lot of evidence, which,
when viewed as whole, may be
regarded as sufficient. This type
of evidence will include public
documents such as a mans army
discharge, school records, or mar
riage certificates, naturalization.
papers, voting lists, census records,
employment records, insurance
policies, labor union or fraternal
association records, passport APP
plications, ETC."
Forms of Proof
IF any person otherwise eligible
for benefits is having difflculty
in locating documentary evidence,
we suggest that he visit the So
cial Security Board field Office at
108 Bank street, Waterbury,
Conn, and tell us the facts" Mr..
Austin said. Our office may be
able to suggest forms Of proof
which the claimant can provide.
There is no charge for this in
formation or advice"

of the Wangs is ended. By one move
Of her intricate game Of Chinese
checkers, Japan has divided her gov

the faces Of both.
The first Of the Wangs on the
scene was Wang Keh-min, who was
set up by the japanese two years
ago to rule his fellow Chinese in the
north Of China.
The second Is Wang Ching-wei,
who inaugurates a new national

ced that the three rich northeastern
provinces of Hopei, Shantung and

able fnancier, possesses huge wealth
and prefers power to money. He has
cost little and has been handy to
have around.
But conquest OF large parts OF
South China made it desirable for
the Japanese to set up another gov
