WIDOWS RECEIVE BENEFITS

According to Mr.. William M. Don
lin, manager of the local field office
OF the Social Security Board, some
people still think that woman has
to be 65 years old before she can
claim social security benefits. "That is
not So" he stated, "as a matter of
fact, there are about 10000 widows,
with young children, and nearly 3OO,-
600 children in the United States re-
ceiving payments of Survivors In
surance every month"
In case an insured worker dies,
whatever his age, if he has the nee
assary wage credits on his social Sc
yurity account, his widow receives
monthly insurance payments until
Ike youngest child is IS years old
ind his children receive monthly ben
sfits until they are 16 years old, (1S
# in school and unmarried). II there
are no children, the widow, regard
less of age, receives lump-sum pay
ment at the time of the husbands
death and then later on, vixen she
reaches age 65, her monthly pay
ments begin-that is, if she has not
married again.
An insured workers widow who
has reached age IS, whether or not
size has child in her care, may
claim monthly benefits, provided her
husband died since this provision
went into effect January l, 194O)

THERE'S MORE SUGAR COMING

Housewives wko have found their
sugar stamps temporarily worthless
because their grocer's sugar shelf
was bare may take hope, now that
the War Food Administration prom
ises stepped-up production from the
nations sugar-beet factories in the
West and Midwest. On September 1,
the nations sugar inventory was low
err than on any date since 1895. Dur
ing the first eight months of this
year, 483,000 tons more of sugar
were distributed in the U. S. than in
the same period of 1943. Most of the
increase went to civilian usage for
preserving and canning. In one form
or another, civilians got most of the
increase-in preserving and canning
of fruits and vegetables, in larger
than-normal production of condensed
milk and in supplemental allotments
for other purposes.

CAST YOUR BALLOT

Every rural citizen of voting age
should cast ballot in the coming Mo-
vember elections and now is none too
soon to be thinking about, getting
ready for, and perhaps worrying
about it little One accurate yard
stick for measuring love of country
is the personal responsibility assum-
ed by the individual for the choice of
it's officers and TIE determining of it's
policies This is one of the years in
which that responsibility is particu-
larly great, because so much hinges
ON the outcome of the elections.
In spite of that fact, there is much
apprehension in interested circles
that many voters are planning to
stay at home on election day. No one
will deny that decisions are excep-
tionally hard to make this year. All
the more reason for making them.

Women are especially fitted to work
for tkis desirable attainment. They
have experienced the poignant sor-
rows and they have realized, in full
est measure the tragic losses through
war and bloodshed.
Women can help decide whether
there will be World War III. Tie
welfare and the security of the chill
dren of today and of tomorrow will
depend upon that decision. America
is destined to maintain a position of
world leadership. Then too, the all
important question of peace terms
must be settled finally and interna-

be considered. These proposals de-

persons who did not vote in the last
national election and ask them why
they did not vote, the answers would
probably be something like this: Il
lust didn't think my vote would make
much difference. one way or the other
in such big election"
Even in a democracy where one
mans vote counts as much as anoth-
err, and where national elections have
been decided several times in the
past by a mere handful of voters, this
type of thinking still prevails among
many persons. Nothing could be fur
Their from the truth. Let us examine
a few close lections in our country's
history for proof.
In 1884, New York state, which
then had an electoral vote of only SO
as compared to its present At, was
the deciding state in the contest be-
tween Grover Cleveland, the Demo-
cratic candidate and James G. Blaine,
the Republican candidate. Cleveland
polled 563, 154 votes to Blaine's 562,-
OO5, which gave him plurality of
Lao.
If majority of these Lao voters
or 575-had voted for Blaine in
stead of Cleveland, the Republican
candidate would have had plurality
of one vote over his opponent and
New York would have gone Republi-
can. 1t is easy to see from these fig
ures that few votes make lot Of
difference in some elections.
In 1916, with the United States
closer and closer to the war raging in
Europe, the November election was
the closest in many years. Woodrow
Wilson, running for second term
against Charles Evans Hughes, the
Republican candidate, went to bed
late election night apparently a de-
feated man. The electoral vote stood
thus: Republicans, 254, Democrats,
264 The report was, however, that
California, where the outcome was in
doubt, would go Republican. That
meant that CALIFORNIA; 13 electoral
votes would be added to tke Repub
lican total of 254, making 267, or
enough to carry the election.
Not until the next day did the cleo
ton count in the western state show
that Democrats won by 466,200 to
462,394-a plurality of only $500.
A switch of 1904 Democratic voters
in California to the Republican side
would have meant that Charles
Evans Hughes would have been the
war president instead of Mr.. Wilson.
Hardly a day goes by that the
newspapers do not report an election
in some community so close that a
shift of only few votes would
change the result. The balance of
power in many an important issue
therefore often is vested in one or
two persons.
1t is not likely that as voter you
will be the deciding factor in this or
any other election. But the fact re-
mains that individual votes do make
up the total and the total decides the
election. And your vote counts as
much as anyone else's. 1t is not only
your privilege, but your duty to vote
Tuesday, November Z. AS good citi-
zen you should do nothing less.
