WORK PROGRESSES
Investigation, purchasing and
wrapping of parcels was under
way today, in the experienced
hands of Mrs. John Gillett and
the following volunteer workers
Of the metropolitan Auxiliary;
Mrs. Margaret Dubay, Mrs.
Charlotte Widrig, Mrs. Mildred
Boden and Mrs. Agnes Peltier.
The need for Goodfellows aid
is not as widespread this year,
but those cases existing include
many that are urgent. Proml-
nent among them are the chill
dren Of widows and children
whose fathers are in the armed
forces and the family income is
unusually low.
At temporary headquarters
established in this city, the Nc
tropolitan ladies today were
wrapping dresses, underwear,
sweaters, dressed Ann rag dolls,
infant clothes, games, jig saw
puzzles, story books, toys, can
dy and nuts for several score
needy cases. Great difficulty
was experienced in purchasing,
but each case was handled as a
separate problem and excellent
cooperation was received from
clothing merchants.
All cases approved for gifts
have been thoroughly Investi-
gated.
On Sunday a small group of
Goodfellows will take charge Of
distribution Of packages, so that
parents or guardians OF fam
lily may tuck the gifts beneath
the Christmas tree Sunday
night, while touslled little heads
dream on rumpled pillows about
the joys of Christmas morn.

American lines in bits and piec-
es, but its losses were amazingly
small considering that the group
claimed TO have killed 1900
Germans. The unit had lost
much of its equipment, except
for rifles and bazookas.
FURIOUS ATTACK
Another badly-mauled Amer
lean formation, which bore the
full fury of the Nazi assault,
claimed to have stopped 60 Ger
man tanks in three days. But it,
too, had lost a great deal of its
artillery and motorized equip
ment.
The Nazi troops are using ev-
cry trick ever tried during this
war. There have been several
authenticated cases in the last
48 hours where the Germans
used the old trick of waving a
white flag like they were going
to surrender and then advancing
near the American line to a fav-
orable position, dropping down
and opening fire.
Several miles to the south the
Germans operated four Ameri-
can Sherman tanks, calling GfS
TO come up close for support
and then opening fire on them
with machine guns.
The weather has been almost
as much an enemy to the Allies
as the Germans. 1t is apparent
that Field Marshal Won Rund-
Stedt picked the time for his at
tack to coincide with a run of
bad weather. Today the weather
along the entire front is appall-
ing. A pea soup fog which was
almost turned to Sleet by low
temperatures, chung close to the

drive with their headlights turn

1t is impossible for the Allied
Air arm to operate. But two
clear days might change the
complexion Of the battle.
In this weird hell of fog and
mud. and mountains one of the
oldest battles is being fought
several miles behind the lines
by an Infantry force led by It.

CIO Leaders
May Back
Ward Strike

DETROIT, Dec. 81 - (P) -
Officials and shop stewards of
240 Wayne County CIO locals
have been asked to attend a
meeting here tonight to plan fur
Their supporting action for Strik-
ing Montgomery Ward employees
whose dispute now is believed
to be in hands of President
Roosevelt.
August Scholle, national CLIO
representative in Michigan, said
the meeting was an enlargement
of one held last week TO which
only the Locals presidents were
invited. United Automob c
Workers (CIO) bomber local so
il Ypsilanti also is expected to
send representatives to tonight's
session.
Scholle simultaneously re-
piled to a Statement: by Frank
X. Martel, president of the De-
troit g. Wayne County Fedora
ton Of Labor (AFL), that many
of the employees at the Royal
Oak and Gratiot avenue Mont
gomery Ward stores were men,
bers or desired TO belong TO the
Retail Clerks International I'm
ion, an AFL affiliate, and there
fore were not on strike.
The strike at the company's
TO-. Detroit area stores was call
ed Dec. 9 by the United Retail,
Wholesale and Department
Store employees, a CLIO affiliate.
Scholle said Martel's letter to
the president, in which the AFL
claims were made, "manifests a
new low in AFL leadership"
1T is unthinkable," he contin-
ued, that a labor leader could
join hands with Sewell Avery
Chairman of the Board of Mont
gomery Ward) and swing below
the belt at the striking employees
at the Montgomery Ward stores.
This unholy alliance is a foul
attempt to sabotage the whole
some detectives Of those strik-
ing employees and delay a settle
ment of this controversy with
SeWell Avery"
Scholle said he understood
that some CIO members planned
to picket the company's stores
in Saginaw, Lansing, Ann Ar
Dor and Jackson in sympathy
with the Detroit strikers.

Servicemen's Kin
 Get Full Benefits
 or Social Security
Immediate Application Urged
By Camp Newspaper Service

By Camp Newspaper Service
 Widespread among GIs in the services is the impression that servicemen lost their rights to so- cial security benefits the day they entered the service. Nothing, says the Social Security Board, could be further from the truth than this belief.
 As a matter of fact, under the law the survivors of servicemen are entitled to certain specific benefits if the soldier worked in covered employment before he en- tered the armed forces and died currently" insured. In other words, his family is entitled to pay ments if he was employed in job covered by the social security pro- gram for at least half of the last three years of his life before he entered the service.
 The families of servicemen are also entitled to various other bene- fits if the serviceman died fully insured, if he had been employed in private industry or business for at least half the period between Jan. 1, 1937- when the social se- curity program began-and the time of his death, or half the per- iod since he became 21, if that was later date.
 Monthly benefits are payable to the following survivors of persons who were fully" insured under the Social Security Act:
 1. Children receive monthly pay ments until they are 16, or until they're IS is they are still in school.
 2. A widow with children under her care, provided she does not re- marry, receives monthly payments until her youngest child is IS. The payments stop then, but begin again when the widow is 65 and continue until her death.
 3. A widow without children un- der her care receives monthly pay

Educational Benefits For Armed Forces
 Clarified by Visitor

Captain Walter T. Pulsifer, Edu- cation Officer of the First Service Command, has been spending the past four days at Bradley and daE- ing this time has been lecturing and explaining to the Base per sonnel the benefits that may be de- rived from the CT. Bill of Rights in regard to educational benefits. The Captain pointed out that all personnel who were inducted into service before the age of twenty five were eligible to go to any school or college they chose, in the United States, if they were accept ed by the school. The government will foot a good part of the bill. Additional information regarding the G.I. Bill of Rights may be had from the Base Special Service Off, fee.

mentS when she reaches the age of 65 provided that she has not remarried.
 4. Dependent parents also re- ceive payments when they reach the age of 65 provided that the deceased serviceman left neither a widow or child under IS. Monthly benefits are payable to the following survivors of persons who were currently" insured:
 1. Children, receive monthly payments until they are 16-or IS if still in school.
 2. Widow with children under her care receives payments until the youngest child is IS.
 In order that no payment may be lost, the Social Security Board has urged that claims for benefits should be filed immediately after the insured persons death. Month ly payments to survivors are re- troactive, but not for more than three months prior to the month of filing. Therefore, if claim is not filed until the fourth month after the month of the insured persons death, one months pay ment is lost.

G.I.S PICK APPLES AFTER HURRICANE STRIPS TREES

One hundred and fifty GIs with a goodly assortment of Wacs piled into trucks Friday morning and travelled to West Simsbury, where they aided in the rescue of the Or xii Farms apple crop. The crop, which covers over 100 acres, faced ruin after the hurricane winds had shaken the fruit to the ground.
 According to the apple pickers, it was quite a day with well over a thousand bushel crates filled by quitting time. Those who went re- ceived lunch and were provided with 7-UP and cigarettes by the farmers daughter who made the rounds of pickers by horseback. They also received 80 cents an hour for their efforts. Mrs. Orrin P. Kilbourne, wife of the farms owner, reported that many of those who worked Friday returned on other days to continue with the harvest that undoubtedly saved much of the fruit from routing on the ground

to the Galapagos Islands for fur ther patrol and interception fly ing. As fishing was one of his hob bies, during his off-duty time he had quite a bit of sport in that mecca of anglers. Lobsters were plentiful and sometimes measured two to three feet long, so between GI food and these crustacean del- icacies, the men on the Galapagos could very we'll be termed gour- nets.
 The beginning of the year 1943 found the Captain in Costa Rica as the Commanding Officer of Base responsible to the Sixth Air Force and also Flight Commander. In October he was sent back to the mainland and then reported to the Atlantic City Redistribution Gen. ter from which Station he was as- signed to the 4O2nd Fighter Group at Bluethenthal Field.
 He arrived at this Base in Feb ruary of this year and became Sta tion Operations Officer the latter part of August.
 Captain Matura was married to Sylvia Sander on the eighth of May 1943 and the following day received the double bars denoting his present rank. The couple now resides at Lake Congamond with their son, Arthur Robert, IT,, who is four-and-a-half months old.
 The Captain plans to live in Costa Rica at the termination of the war and has tentative plans of obtaining a franchise to open an airport there. If these plans fall through he intends to become a coffee plantation owner.
