BY BYRON NELSON
LOS ANGELES, Calf, Dec. 20.
-R-It is a real distinction to
have been named athlete of the
year for 1914. Viewing it from a
broader picture it is a source of
great satisfaction to me and to
my fellow golfers to consider that
the game Of golf has been accord
ed this recognition.
Those golfers among us who
were rejected from military SER
vice felt we could devote our tai
ents through exhibitions and tour
naments in which the prime pur-
pose would be to stimulate the
sale of war bonds as well as pro-
vide entertainment for servicemen
now undergoing rehabilitation.
The results have been especial
|ly gratifying. All of our big tour
naments this year have been play
ed for war bonds. Bonds have
been. sold at every course. For
instance, the ball with which Sam
Snead won the Richmond, Calf.
tournament was auctioned off to
the highest bond buyer. 1t sold for
$1O0,000 in bonds.
Galleries this year have been
among the largest in the history
of golf. Our Professional Golfers
Association reha Utilization program
for service men is playing a grand
part for the boys returning from
overseas The P. G.. A has en-
couraged and lent support toward
construction of many new golt
courses at rehabilitation centers.
think that more service men
than ever have been following
our tournaments and exhibitions,
and golf has acquired more en-
thusiasts than ever before. 1t is
my belief that golf in 1915 will
hit an all time nigh both in inter.
est and competition.
Naturally many of our top play,
ers are now in Uncle Sans ser.

IF YOU ARE IN DOUBT, INQUIRED

Sometimes eligible persons do not know
they are entitled to Social Security bene-
fits and thus lose money through delay in
filing their claims. We would like to
call the attention of our readers to the
fact that. in addition to the monthly old
age benefits payable to the insured work
er himself at the age of 65 II after, the
Federal Old Age and Survivor, In
surance system also provides for monthly
benefits to members of his family. Bene-
fits are also payable to his family at his
death, whatever his age.
A safe rule to remember is this: Anyone
who is in doubt about his or her right to
old age or survivors insurance benefits
should visit the local office Of the Social
Security Board. No one, no matter where
he or she works or lives, is very far from a
Social Security Board field office or from
one of it's part-time service points, and
these offices are there to give full inform
alton to all who inquire. If you have any
reason to believe you may have become
eligible for benefits under the Social Sc
curity plan, don't hesitate to look into the
matter at your Social Security office.
