Bosox Owner Now Stymied
lReg. q. s. Pat OH.D By JACK CUDDY



 New York. Aug. 7.-tUP)-Tom Yawkey. who has spent more than 9a O00. 600 on the Boston Red Sox during his l2-year quest for an American league pennant, seems 10 have been stymied again-by the fortunes of war.
 Uncle Sam's impartial hands is reaching for some of Yawkey's stel- lar performers. This gesture seems certain to blast the pennant pros- poets Of the second-place Bosox, best hitting club in the circuit.
 The loss of big Tex Hughson. alone. might be a mortal blow to the YawkeyInen whose weakest de- pertinent is pitching Hughson. tall. right-handed ace Of tine mound staff. announced yesterday that he would pitch probably his last game for the duration against the White Sox "Wednesday His draft board has indicated that he will be called tO active duty in the Navy by Aug 2S.
 Cecil Carlton Hughson of Kyle. Tex. has been the Gold Sox only dependable fiinger this season, as he registered i7 victories against five defeats. He Is tied with Hal New ilOuser Of the Tigers for the most games won in tine league. New hOuser has i7 and six Had Man ager Joe croEin other rOtators of dependability. chances are the Red SOx now would be well in front of the St. Louis Brown, instead of i-2 games behind them. But Cronin could not obtain pitching to match the clubs hitting. Joe figured on George Woods, Emmett O'Neill, Yank Terry and Oscar Judd to team with Hughson as starters. But Terry, Woods and O'Neill couldn't get gO- ing; and Judd has been bothered all season with sore arm.
 As farewells are being readied for Hughson, i've other Red SOK agaii service calls. Second basenan Bobby DOerr, who is fighting for the leagues batting championship passed his military physical exam- inatiOn last week, along with cen- terflelder Leon culbersOn and catch CTS Roy Partee and Bill Conroy. Meanwhile. catcher Hal Wagner ex- poets to be called to the Navy within a week. He enlisted with HughsOn last March. With three catcaers apparently service bound. perhaps cronin, the versatile veteran in- fielder, will be forced to shift his reliefng activities from first base to backstop.
 Because of the clubs mound diff eulties, owner Yagxey tossed more money into the pot last week-Te- pOrtedly about s30O0O-for the pur- chase of Rex Cecil frOm the San Diego Padres of the Pacific Coast league, where he had achieved IT wins against nine losses. He is eK- pected to join the 6oY this week. Jf ne can do as well against big league hitting as he did on the coast, Rex might make up partially for the loss of Tex. But that's cons jeetuTal.
 Millionaire Wagkey has had his pennant hopes blasted in previous seasons, since purchasing the Red Rox in February. 1888. Four times his club finished sec0nd-in '3B, '39, '4l and '42, losing out on each hope ful occasion to the potent New York Yankees. This year the YaDks were not so potent; and t seemed that the BostODlans at last had an exeel- lent chance for the flag, But the fortunes Of war now indicate other wise.

The Dusty Softball league has only two weeks of the regular season to go, plus a half dozen postponed games. but the makeup of the six. team playofs is far from settled.
 Tool, Rubber and Seoyill are ap- parentiy in" for three berths, but after that all is confusion. Five teams are a mere half-game apart Waterbury Manufacturing, Chase Metal, Somers Brass, Waterbury Companies and U. s. Time are still very much in the running.
 Four of this weeks eight games are particularly important, two be. ing on tonight's card and two on tomorroW's.
 This evening U. s. Time battles French and Rubber takes on Farrel. French and FaTrel, while under dogs, have played good ball during the year and are capable og put ting up stiff arguments.

1t was back in 1904 years ago
that Rev. Harvey j. Kitzmlller
gave a farm at Quincy, Franklin
county, Pa, to the United Brethren
Church, for an orphanage and home.
To this farm subsequently have
been added two farms, the gift of
Peter Newcomer, formerly of Bene-
VIOLA. The entire Quincy Orphan
age and Home tract now comprises
total of $50 acres, 260 of which
are under a high state of cultiva-
tion. The founder died in 1886.
His widow today resides at the
Home, although in failing health.
Much interest is created when the
past and the present and the old

Such an event was the Annual Wis
iting Day observed at Quincy on
June 8. The crowd was conserva-
lively estimated at approximately
800, or about one-third that of nor

feet upon the institution, evidenced
in the dedication of the alumni hon

of the Armed Forces took part in

There are in the Old Folks Home
So persons, spending the last days
of their lives in comfort and ease.
Their smiling countenances and
amiable dispositions indicate their
joy of living as the shadows of life
close about them. They are inter
ested in world affairs, wars being
nothing new to many of them. The
oldest person in the Home is Mrs.
Rebecca Ann Racey, SO, of Shenan-
doah, Va.
There are 1872 children in the Or
phanage, the youngest being aged
three years.
In the past year contributions of
$4,000 were received frorn the sew

"How Are the Amounts of Survivors
Benefits Determined"
The amount of survivors, benefit
payment is based on the primary
benefit of the deceased worker, with
respect to whose wages they are
paid. A widows benefit is three
fourth of the workers primary
benefit. A child's benefit is one
half of the deceased workers pri-
mary benefit. A parents benefit is
one-half of the deceased workers
primary benefit.
For example: A young man who
received wages averaging $3.50 per
month over period of five years,
dies, leaving widow and one child.
