SECURITY BOARD
AID TO WORKERS

The Social Security Board believes
that many workers are not receiving
monthly benefits due them because
they are unaware that they are quail
fed for monthly retirement insurance
payments. Older workers, particularly
those who are 65 years of age or over
should not permit periods of disability,
shifts from covered to non-covered
employment, and other changes to af-
feet their wage records so as to reduce
their benefits, according to S. E. STRAIT
ton, manager of the Hamilton field Of
flee. Wage earners reaching 65 should
contact the field Office whether they
plan to retire or not SO as to insure
that their insurance payments may be
filed for at the most advantageous
time. At the present time there are
many older workers who would profit
by discussion of their wage records
and the requirements of the program
as they apply to individual cases. AS
the law provides for monthly retire
ment benefits for wives and children
under 18 years of age the amounts
involved may be substantial.

The formation sometime during the
dinosaur age of petroleum itself
slso was explained, as well as its
natural distribution on the earth.
Petroleum not only is Of greatest
Importance as fuel to make the

countless purposes generally un-
known by the public. There are

poultry. Ammonia, perfume, can
dies and cold cream are made from
oil and, more recently, even syn

there are its more accepted uses in
such products as vaseline, mineral
oil and paints, as well as the many
different types of lubricants and
fuels. The broadcast stressed the
necessity Of avoiding waste of pc
