Informoficn On
SociaI Security

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 Glenn H. Pit
tenger, manager Of the Youngstown
field Office 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 65 and retire
from employment covered by the So
cial Security Act do not understand
the requirements for obtaining these
benefits" Mr.. Pittenger said.
1T is necessary to meet several re-
qUirements in order to obtain the
monthly checks. 4 worker must have
served in employment covered by the
Social Security Act, he must have
reached age So and he must retire
from jobs of this nature. In addition
he must be a fully insured Individual
ITO be fully insured a 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-
airy, 1887, or since the worker reached
age 21, 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 who status applies only in
case of death. A currently insured
wage Garner is one who earned at
least $50 in six or more calendar quar-
ters, in covered employment, in the
y calendar quarters Immediately be-
fore 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
payments are made to the legal guar
dian or the guardian in fact Of such
unmarried minor children. However,
children between the age of 16 and
Is must regularly attend school to be
eligible to receive monthly payments.
III no one who would be entitled
to receive monthly payments survives
the deceased wage Garner, then under
certain circumstances lump sum pay
ments may be made" Mr.. Pittenger
said.

CCC bulletin

Applications are now being received
for the enrolment of white and col
ored veterans in the Civilian Con-
servation Corps for the quarterly re-
placement expected to be conducted in
January 1941.
The usual eligibility requirements
are still in effect, including the re-
striction prohibiting re enrolment
within six months from date of dis
charge from a previous enrolment.
Those veterans who have received
dismissal, or an administrative or dis
honorable discharge from a previous
enrolment are not eligible for re-
enrolment. Ehrollments will be made
without regard to public relief require
ments. Veterans selected must be un-
employed and in need of employment.
Consideration cannot be given at
enrolling stations to an applicant for
re-enrolment unless he brings with
him copy of his discharge from mill
tary service and his last discharge
from the C. G.. c., if he was previous
ly member.
A number of discrepancies have
been noted in the applications received
between the typed name Oh the face
of Form P-130 and the signature of
the applicant. If there is a difference
in the typed name and the actual sig
nature, advise which is the correct
name. All applications must be sub
mitted in duplicate and contain the
first, middle and last name of the
veteran, allottee if any, and if there
is no middle name, insert the word
none.
In view of the large number Of un-
employed veterans, it is believed that
if they were informed relative to the
many opportunities afforded them in
the Civilian Conservation Corps, that
they would desire to file an applica-
tion for enrolment.
1t is, therefore, respectfully request
ed that all eligible veterans within
your jurisdiction be informed of this
opportunity and advised to apply for
enrolment in the c.. G. C. In view OF
previous experience, it is quite prob
able that all eligible applications filed
will receive favorable consideration. 1t
is suggested that qualified veterans
desiring to take advantage of this op-
portunity be instructed to submit
their applications Immediately to the
Veterans Administration, Brecksville
Ohio.

Hatred Based
Upon Ignorance
BY DIR. CHARLES STELZLE

We wonder why some European
countries are at each others throats
when their citizens seem to be per-
fectly reasonable human beings. The
fact is, what makes them fight is that
they have inherited racial hatreds-
it's born in them. It's hatred which
has been handed down from father to
son for many generations, even though
the origin Of their hatred has been
completely forgotten. Hitler has de-
clared that it is easier to build up an
organization upon the basis of hate
than upon the principles of brother
hood when you are getting ready for
war, and he has acted upon this vicious
doctrine.
Americans imagine that they "never
fell for this kind of stuff" But frank
ly, how many Of us can give logical
reason why we dislike Democrats or
Republicans, or why we are against
Organized Labor, or why we are op-
posed to Protestants, Jews or Cath
olics; or, more particularly, why
those Of US who are Protestants,
swear by-or at-Episcopaleans, Bap-
fists, Presbyterians, Congregational
lists, Methodists, or one of the other
hundred or more denominations in this
country?
Most Of US know very little about
the origin, history, philosophy or be-
liefs of the organizations we despise.
If we are not affiliated with any of
these bodies, we are usually even more
ignorant about them than those who
"belOng;" and the tragedy Of it is that
many Of their own members and as
sociates know very little about them
| selves, so that their defense is weak.
In these days, when sharp differ
ences are constantly arising concern
/ ing questions which will determine the
/ future Of the world, every man and
woman should be prepared to give a
cear-cut reason for the opinions
which they hold and express. They
may not be able to speak with au-
/ thority concerning world problems, but
! they should at least be intelligently
informed before they take a personal
position regarding other individuals or
/ groups. And, best Of all, let's rejoice
when we have discovered their fine
/ characteristics, and then let's tell
about them with sincere joy-because,
/ God knows, there are plenty Of others
who are ready to tell the worst about
them.

YOUR DOLLAR
By Consumers Union

Bicycles
Steer clear Of gadgets when you buy
your boy or girl a bicycle. Gu ad-
vises. Every extra pound on that bike
must be pushed around by leg power;
sometimes up hills where it takes
every ounce Of energy to make the
grade. Flashy gadgets may look
pretty under the Christmas tree, but
the child whose parents have put their
money into quality will get more fun
and service from his bike. Get the
medium grade if you can. GUS con-
sultant advises further. The deluxe
Grade is loaded down with odds and
ends, the cheapest grade usually is not
good quality. The medium priced
brand is most apt to stick to essentials
Of good design and quality.
Balloon tires IS. high pressure
tires, types Of brakes, multiple gear
mechanisms, foreign-made and light
weight bicycles are among the other
points covered in Gus article. Is
makes of bicycles, 9 makes of veloci-
pcdes are discussed and rated.
Womens Shorts
Don't go by size when buying wo-
mems shorts, Gu advises after making
tests Of II brands Of knit shorts. Meas
ure the shorts with tape measure, or
hold them up to you to make sure
they will fit. One important point in
fitting is that the waist, regardless Of
style, should stretch easily to the
wearer's hip measurement.
Get fine knit, but preferably not
q plain knit, GU advises. Plain knits
will run up and down, like stockings.
A multiple warp knit will not run at
all. You can identify multiple warp
knit by the ribs on the back which run
at cross angles with the ribs on the
front. Make sure also that the elastic,
! if stitched to the waistband, is at
tached with stitches that will not
break when the garment IS stretched
Blankets
For adequate warmth and durability
blanket should weigh at least Y
ounces per square yard, Gu advises
members in its November issue. For
72xS4 blanket this amounts to about
3l2 pounds.
Of course, weight is not the only
factor to be considered. The quality
of the wool ard the way the blanket
is constructed also influence the serv-
ice you will get. The thread count
| (number Of yarns running each way)
thickness; tensile strength (resistance
to pulling); resistance to abrasion;
shrinkage and instability all affect
the value, and Gu covered these points
in its tests Of II wool blankets, ir
which it found some outstanding buys
If you buy blankets without benefit
of test ratings, be sure to check OF
four important points. First, actually
measure the blanket to make sure i
is the stated size. Wool prices arr
going up and there may be some ten
dency towards deception. Next, weigh
the blanket and calculate whether i
weighs at least 12 ounces per square
yard. Then rub the nap between youl
palms, and also pull lightly at tht
nap. If it nubs up into balls or come:
loose, the blanket is not we'll con
structed Last, hold up the blanket L
the light. Light spots indicate {
sleazy weave.
