Features Of Your Social Security Act

Editors Note: This is the first
 of series of II articles on Old
 Age and Survivors Insurance and related programs. These articles
 will appear in this newspaper as
 space becomes available. If you
 wish further information about any of the subects discussed, you
 are invited to contact the nearest
 Social Security Board office or
 the other agencies mentiOned)
 THE SOCIAL SECURITY ACT
 The Federal Social Security Act, originally passed in 1885 and im- proved by amendment in 1889, sets up . number of programs for help ing persons who are unable to help themselves, and two insurance pro- grams which make it possible for the worker to be protected against hazards to which all of us are sub ect. The most widely known sec- tions of the Act, and those which affect the most people, are the sec- tions dealing with State Public As sistance, State Unemployment Com- perSation, and Federal Old-Age and Survivors Insurance.
 Under the Public Assistance sec- tions the Federal government matches State funds used by the states to pay old-age assistance, aid to the needy blind, and aid to dependent children. These types of payments are based upon need, and are handled by the States rather than by the Federal govern ment. Information about these payments may be secured from the State Departmnt which handles these matters.
 The Federal law sets up certain standards for State programs of Un- employment Compensation, but leaves the actual payment of un- employment benefits to the States. Information about Unemployment Compensation may be secured from the central office of the Unemploy- ment Compensation agency, or from other offices of that agency located throughout the State.
 Old-Age and Survivors Insurance is Federal program under which the worker has protection against two of our ever-present hazards old age and death. This plan will be discussed in later articles of this series.

Progress Being Made
In Harvesting Pinal
County Cotton Crop

Excellent progress is being made
in the harvesting OF Pinal county
cotton crop. IL was announced to-
day by X X. Henness. county ag-
ricultural agent. In charge of the
emergency farm labor program of
the agricultural extension service.
Out OF a crop estimated by gin
operators 10 be 1000 bales as OF
November 18th. 26.556 bales had
been ginned. or 42.2 per cent of
the crop. This leaves a balance
OF 36.444 bales 10 be ginned. For
the week ending Saturday. Novem-
Der 10th. total county ginuings
were 1881 bales. AT this rate 10
additional weeks of good weather
would be required 10 finish the
cotton harvest. thus completing it
in late January. Henness said. He
emphasized. however. that rainy
weather may be expected TO delay
picking. On the other hand. pres
ent information Is that within a
few days additional prisoners may
be expected. which will increase
the daily pick.
For the week ending November
10th prisoners picked 1.036 bales
of cotton. or 2S.9 per cent. Civil
ians during that week picked 1855
bales. or Ill per cent. This sur
vey showed that at the middle OF
November very few civilian pick
ers were coming into the county
from outside cotton growing areas.
Ginners report a few coming in
from the FL Paso valley. and from
neighboring Salt River valley.
When asked about further sup
plies of prisoners of war for cotton
picking. Henness stated that addi-
tional prisoners are expected daily,
and immediate plans call for in
creases in the number housed in
all camps with the exception of
Camp Eloy No. 2. which is filled to
capacity with commissioned Off
