INFORMATION ON
SOCIAL SECURITY

Employment of older workers in the
canning industries may be necessary
this year due to shortage of younger
labor, it was said this week by S. E.
Stratton, manager of the Social Sc
curity Board field office in Hamilton.
"We have had several inquiries from
older workers who have retired and
are now drawing monthly checks un-
der the old-age and survivors insur-
ance plan," Mr.. Stratton said.
"These workers have asked whether
they may take such employment, if it
is offered, and not forfeit their rights
to future checks under the social Sc
curity program. Such employment
may be accepted, but the workers are
not entitled to their social security
checks for those months in which they
earn $500 or more, and if payment
has been received the check must be
returned to the United States Treas
ury.
"For instance, if a worker had a
canning factory job during May and
June, and received $500 or more in
each of those months, he would not
be entitled to his old-age insurance
check for either month. But if his
job ended in June and he was not
again employed in commerce or in
dustry, earning $500 or more, then
he would be entitled to his checks for
all months in which he had no such
employment. His future benefit rights
would in no way be affected by the
temporary employment which he had
been able to obtain"

again put on the track the motored
comet with which Rex Mays set last
years qualifying record. Meyer
master-minded Mays into second
place last year and many race fans
believe he would have been first but
for rain that slowed the field down.
Although Meyer has retired from
the driving end of the game, there
is nothing to prevent him from COM
ing out of retirement and driving
for fourth victory, just as Shaw
will do this year. Shaw, the Dapper
Dan of racing, is one of the brain
lest drivers in the business. A first
rate athlete, natty dresser and ex-
cellent after-dinner speaker, he is
one of the highest type champions in
the sports world. AS driver he is
known for that enviable combina-
ton of daring and good Judgment.
Should he succeed in winning again
this year, as he did in 1887, 1899
and 1910, he will certainly be en-
titled to special niche in Sports
Hall of Fame.

FOR
WOMEN
y
Keeping
Ahead of
the Times
By Mary Moore

The main thing to remember about
cotton dress is that it will be washed
time and time again, SO in selecting
your materials look for the shrinkage
facts marked on the bolt end of piece
of yard goods. If you buy cotton ma
terials not so marked, wash it before
making it up.
| Ready-made dresses usually have
shrinkage facts and washing direc-
tions on printed tags. Make sure the
colors are tub-fast and sun-fast. Look
also on tags to find facts about crease
resistance. Crease-resistance finishes
lessen wrinkling, and help the gar
longer.
M. Antoine, who dresses the hair
of some of the worlds most famous
women, says, Don't let anyone per-
suade you to cut your hair short this
summer" He has way Of turning it
into fat curls, or twists it high upon
the head into what was once called a
French twist. In the heat of creative
impulse he has designed about 40 hats,
two of which were inspired by Carlo.
He says he is bored with the trite in
hair dresses and so like sculptor he
creates a hair-do and a hat to suit
the Wearer.

For Better HOmemaking

The interiors of the new electric ice
boxes are so we'll thought out that
there is place for each different kind
of foodstuff to receive its scientifically
perfect cooling treatment. One new
box has five different zones of cold.
There are porcelain and all glass COM
partments equipped with glass doors
which is a super-moist zone for per-
ishable foods. Because of the elab-
crate system of doors and shelves
there is little or no air circulation and
it is not necessary to cover foods.
These new boxes are equipped with
cooling coils in the walls and bottom
of the food compartment in addition
to the refrigerator coils formerly
found only in the ice-making depart
ment.
Why not hunt around the cellar and
unearth all those old flower pots,
scrub, paint half dozen all alike, or
get harmonious shades of enamel and
use them on your porch or living room
for summer. A novel effect can be
achieved by using a shelf with six or
eight identical pots all in row.

Urges United Front

Urges United Front
''Let us not initiate the dictators and
destroy democracy but let us show the
world that the free processes of de-
mocracy are practical, efficient and far
superior to the forced processes of
totalitarianism
Urging further development of a
cooperative relationship between en-
ployer and employe, President Green
expressed confidence American en-
ployers and workers would demon
strate their willingness and ability to
join in "a mighty effort to put over
the national defense program.
Such united front of industry and
labor can be achieved, the speaker
said, by the following simple program:
1.-THE recognition of mutual de-
pendence and respect and recognition
of each others rights.
"2.-The institution of the peaceful
processes of collective bargaining as
the permanent, constructive method
of stabilizing industrial relations"
Denounces Vinson Bill
President Green outlined the story
OF union management co operation,
crediting the International Printing
Pressmen's Union with being pioneer
in this field. He also mentioned great
forward strides" of the international
Ladies' Garment Workers Union in
the same field and said that union
management cooperation has done
wonders in improving the efficiency
of the railroads, machine shops and
dozens of other industries"
The A. F. of L. head reaffirmed his
recently expressed opposition to the
Vinson bill and all other "anti-labor,
anti-strike and compulsory service
legislation" Of the Vinson bill he de-
clared "We would expect to see such
compulsory anti-strike legislation pro-
posed in a nation dominated by Hitler,
but not in America"

 Senator Burton K. Wheeler, D., Germany plans submarine op- British aid program, said he had information that British Ambassa- dor Lord Halifax was the source of the state departments information. He charged that the report was propaganda and Halifax was trying to frighten the American public.

 Well-informed quarters said Brit ain and the United States were willing to make food supplies avail able to France on the theory that 1t would encourage the French to resist German influence in unoc- cupied France. The plan would obviate the possibility of the French fleet conveying food shipments as threatened recently by Admiral Jean Francois Darlan, vice-premier of France. There was no immedi- ate indication in official circles whether the grain would be bought with French funds frozen" in this country, or whether the Red Gross would pay for 1t.
