Federal Government Also Paying Widows
 Of Families $4,7O8
Oid.Age, Survivors Insurance Payments in Waterbury
 District Show Increase; 53O BenefCiaries ga Receiving Regular Payments

Der of heneficiaries will increase constantly as insured wage earn CTS retire after reaching age 65 or die, 1t was stated. There has been a total net increase of $l,46l in the rate of monthly payments since April 1, while the number of benc- ficiaries has increased by 7o dur ing the same period.
 Payment of Federal old-age and survivors insurance, according to MT. Austin, is based on the aver- age monthly wage paid in covered employment to the individual wage earner. The payments are made regardless of how much property or income he possesses except that monthly insurance may not be paid for any month to or on behalf of an individual who works for wages of $l5 or more in covered employ ment. The age at which the in- sured wage earner dies does not matter. Where the fully or current ly insured wage earner dieS, leav- ing no one eligible at that time for monthly benefits, g lump-sun death payment may be made upon the filing of a suitable claim.
 Prompt filing of claims by elig- ible individuals is urged by MT. Austin, who points out that Fed- eral old-age and survivors insar- ance cannot be paid until after a claim has been duly filed. Com plete information about old age ana survivors insurance can be ob- tained without charge from the field office of the board, located at 108 Bank street, Waterbury, Conn.

The possibility of getting e federal grant for the erection of trade school in Waterbury, and the ques- ton of twenty per cent pay raise to local teachers were considered at last nights meeting of the board of education at Crosby High School, with Mayor Vincent A. Scully pre- siding.
 The matter of the trade school was introduced by Thomas P. Ash ton, president of the board, who ex- plained to the other members that the erection of a school building for this purpose would be up to the city. Although the state has agreed to furnish the equipment and the instructors. Aid from the federal government would be very helpful he pointed out, in meeting the costs of erecting the school.
 On Comsr. Ashton's motion, the mayor was empowered by the board to name a committee of board members and other prominent citi- zenS to communicate with the state board, and with the federal govern ment with regard to the grant, to have a survey made, and to draw up tentative plans for the building.
 Some of the members were Skep- tical of the value of inStituting such a committee until the federal grant had become a certainty, but the preponderant opinion favored the creation of a committee now to take all the preliminary steps, especially since similar action is being taken by other Connecticut communities, notably New Haven and Norwalk.
 At present the city is engaged in litigation to make available the es- tate of the late David Porter, on the Meriden road for the erection. of such a school. Mayor Scully, asked about the prospects of using this location for the proposed school, re- piled that That matter is still in the lap of the courts"
 A petition for a twenty per cent increase in the salaries of local teachers was received, under the joint signature of the executive committee of the Waterbury Teach ers' Association and the Principals Association. The matter was promptly referred to the finance committee of the board.
 The request cited the steady in- crease in the cost of living. and pointed out the important role be- ing played today by members of the teaching profession, in view of the necessity of maintaining high stand ards of education. Duplicate copies Of the petition were sent to the mayor, the boards of aldermen and finance, the superintendent of schools, and the city budget diree- tor.
