OLD ACE AND
SURVIVORS
INSURANCE

Much has been said and written of late
about social security; and citizens of
Butte have shown increasing interest in
this subject This paper has reason to
believe its readers have questions about
the insurance provisions Of the Social
Security Act We believe also that our
readers are entitled to authentic informa
ton on any subject that concerns the
family pocketbook.
Question: what is meant by the term
qquarters of coverage'?"
Answer: In order to qualify for old
age and survivors insurance benefits
wage Garner must have worked on Jobs
covered by the law for a certain length
of time and must have been paid wages
amounting to at least $50 in each Of
certain number of calendar quarters "a
calendar quarter is any three-month pc
riod beginning the first of January
April. July. or October Of any year))
Quarters in which he is paid $50 or more
are called quarters Of coverage this
means $50 during the quarter-not $50
per month or week, but $50 during the
whole three months) In order to quail
ify for benefits a workers wage record
must show that he has worked in covered
employment and has been paid wages Of
at least half Of the quarters that have
passed since January I, 1881 and before
he reached age 65 or died.
question: when is a worker said TO be
fully insmed'?'
Answer: If a person has worked In
job, covered by the law in at least half
as many calendar quarters as those that
elapse between 1886 and the quarter Of
death or attainemnt of age 65, and has
been paid at least $50 in each Of such
calendar quarters he is said to be fully
insured" For instance, a man who
worker in a mill most Of the time during
the past four years became 65 years old
last January. Between the end of 1886
and January /, 1914, % calendar quar-
ters elasped. If the mans wage record
showed that he worked at least part OF
the time in IA of those quarters, and
received wages of at least $50 in each OF
those IA quarters, he would be fully
insured Once a worker accumulates
40 quarters of coverage he is fully in
sured" as long as he lives, whether or not
he has worked half Of the elapsed quar-
ters.
Question: "When is wage Garner
said to be currently insured?"
Answer: The term currently insured
applies to worker who dies leaving
children under age 18 or one who dies
leaving widow with children under age
18 in her care. In such case the worker

love it, and to especially invite a
few friends and serve special re-
freshments gives them such a
grown-up feeling. And for such
occasions the refreshments should
not be elaborate. Let them serve
small cakes, but the fancy party
varieties, and a good beverage.
Drinks made from fresh fruit
juices and sparkling water or
club soda have delicious flavor
and zest, and are healthful, too.
ANY fruit juice can be used, citrus
fruits rating high when mixed
with sparkling water. The pear
crop is good this year and a de-
lightful beverage can be made
with crushed pears and sparkling
water. Here's how to do it, and
be sure to use the juicy varieties
of pears.
Pear Sparkle
/ Pear Sugar Syrup !
, Sparkling water
Peel and slice the pear. Crush
the plup with a fork and strain. i
Pl the juice over ice cubes
placed in a tall glass. Sweeten to
taste. Fill the glass with sparkling
water. This makes one drink.

 To reach the location of tbe wrecked CAT it had been necessary to route the approach from the on- posite side of the mountain Upon arriving at the summit of that DOT ton of the ridge, the task remain ing was to climb down to the place where the wreckage had been sighted.
 A party of three men. including Bradford Washburn, made the ini- tial descent to the plane. using ny lon ropes to lower each other down over a 400-foot icy cliff The re- mafnder of the advance party fol- lowed the next day.
 Find No Trace
 Unable to find any trace of the victims, they finally abandoned the quest. having become convinced that the force of the crash d the wrecl5age rolling down the cliff undoubtedly had scattered them over a wide section of the noun tainside.
 Avalanches were increasing in frequency and a storm was closing in as the party climbed back to their camp near the summit. Hasti- ly gathering up their equipment they retraced their steps. following the same route they had taken on their trek up the mountain.
 All members of the expedition were highly commended for the parts they had played in carrying out a mission, recognized as one ot the most dangerous ever undertaken in this section of the country.

SOLDIERS CLIMB MOUNTAIN
 TO SCENE OF PLANE CRASH

HEADQUARTERS, ALASKAN DE- PARTMENT-Nineteen members of the Army ground forces, stationed at Ft. Richardson. took part in the recent mOuntain-climbing expedi- tion that led to the summit of an unnamed, 12,16O-foot peak in the vicinity of Mt Mckinley, it's pur- pose being to reconnoiter the scene of an army plane clash in which 19 persons lost their lives two months ago.
 Eleven of the 19 ground force soldiers were natives of Alaska, among them Sgt. Mikal A. Hansen of Ketchikan.
 The expedition, in which A ci- williams and soldiers of both the ground and air forces took an ac- tive part, was led by Grant Pear son, Mckinley Park ranger. Pear son is credited with being one of the few who have ever climbed to the top of Mt. Mckinley, highest peak in North America. Bradford Washburn, well-known writer and mountain climber, also assisted and was one of the first three to reach the plane.

marriage of this kind, you
would have to put the wishes

for this man will surpass all
the obstacles that you will find
in your path? If not, give up
the idea.

LOS ANGELES-(A RI P)-Witn
prospects of his election very
bright Atty. Loren Miller, Demo-

interest in his proposed fight Tor
equality in the army and navy.
There is no reason why the
army and the navy should be per-

the righteousness of such practices
is the more apparent because the

In addition to planKs directed
against discriminatory practices
in all phases of American life, Lo-

NEW YORK, (ANF)- A picture
Of racial harmony in Army hos

Pfc. Murray e. Bocarnick's letter
to the peoples column of Time
magazine was published.
Iwish some of those bigoted per-
sons who are the spokesman for
the unfortunate people of the
southern states would spend a
week in this army hospital" wrote
Pfc. Brovarnick. at would be a
valuable lesson for them.
1--WE are in a quarantine ward
for humps. Four of the Is
patients are Negroes and nine OF
the II white soldiers hail from
the south. There has not been one
instance of racial friction since l
have been here. We play cards to-
gether, borrow each others books
and stationary, bum each others
cigarets. And finally, | have never
heard the racial problem dis
cussed with more judgment, DIS
cretion and frankness than in
this ward.
When called upon to share a
common undertaking in common
background the southern soldier
at once accepts the Negro soldier
as another soldier and hence as
an equal. Were it not for the nu-
merous restrictions imposed upon

Second Story

TUSCALOOSA, Ala-(A N p
A passer-by saved the lives of two
white women here last Saturday
in a fire that claimed a cook and
a three year old white child. The
hero's name was not of sufficient
value to white newspaper men to
be learned.
He is credited with saving the
women from the flames when he
realized their dangerous plight on
the second floor of the blazing
frame building, ran up under the
window and told the young women
to lump, and that he would at
tempt to catch them. Neither of
the women was injured.
Doubtless if the women recogni-
zed their helo on the Tuscaloosa
streets today and attempted to
thank him his goose would be
cooked. Tuscaloosa is the home of
the University of Alabama and has
a long record of compl ete social
separation.

Dewey's Plan To
Probe Bias Hits
Snag In Gotham
Rabbi Refuses
Guardianship
Of New Group

NEW YORK - (ANP) - The
state commission to investigate
discrimination against Negroes in
this state is still being hamstrung
by refusals of several persons to
accept Gov. Dewey's appointment
to it.
The story dates back two years
ago, when a similar commission
was named to do the same joo. 1t
recently turned in its report, and
recommended that the state legis-
lature pass a bill which would set
ur a permanent FEPC. This bill
was reluctantly introduced at the
last session of the legislature by
the State Sen. Wicks and was
promptly permitted to die natur-
al death.
Despite the pleas of many per-
sons and organizations, the COVER
nor refused to lend his support to
passage of the measure, leading to
its death. For this, dewey has
been under fire by Negro leaders.
Upon the death of the bill, tho
governor announced that he wa"
appointing a new commission, ito
do the same job just completed"
according to interested Negroes.
The Peoples Voice Immediately
declared that it would brand as
a TRAITOR any person accepting APP
pointment to the new commission.
Eight persons OF the old COM
mission resigned. Named to the
new commission was AsSemDlyman
Hulan E. Jack, who refused to ac-
cept the designation. Comes now
Rabbi j. x. Cohen, prominent
Jewish churchman and leader in
civic affairs, who has likewise de-
clined to accept appointment
The rabbi said that, in declining,
he considered the new commission
as IAN aStute maneuver to offset
the governors refusal to back his
own commissions bill, but some
times these things blow up in ones
face"
