A note of thanks to the 4th
grade B, and ex-students, for kind
ness shown Miss Z. B. Davis at
Christmas time and in the New

that your students think of their
teacher in small way. At least
the little things are the things that
count. Il think it impossible to
forget the class of '44-45.

The delegation was met by the

in the local are suffering from forced
unemployment because Of a concen-

"Dhe manufacturers have been grant

to sit idly by and hold up the country,

VETERANS SHOULD
APPLY FOR BENEFITS

HELENA-Only two per cent OF
Montana veterans discharged from the
armed services have drawn readjust-
ment allowances under the G. I. bill in
the first full year Of operation, Barclay
Craighead, chairman OF the Montana
unemployment compensation commits
sion, announced
The commission administers read
justment allowances in Montana through
arrangement with the veterans admin
istration, Craighead explained.
A total of 42O veterans OF World War
II have drawn allowances in the period
from Sept. 4, 1914, to Sept 4, 1915,
he continued OF this number 3l8 drew
allowances for unemployment, and 102
drew allowances as self-employed per-
sons in independent establishments to
which they devoted their entire time.
Actually, ST veterans began to draw
the allowance for unemployment, but
nine of them switched to the self-em-
ployed allowance, thus taking them
selves out of the labor market, Craig
head pointed out In other words, 102
of the APO veterans were not in the
labor market at all, since they were
self-employed
Craighead said that from the very
beginning OF the program, the commits
sion has been able to handle the claim.

/ The cost Of administration OF the pro

the first year, and the second year ha!
been budgeted at $500, he continued
a very low cost OF administration,
small fraction to what it would hayt
taken to open an office in Montana t.
administer the allowances.
Montana is making a better than g.

FACTS ABOUT YOUR
SOCIAL SECURITY

According to Patrick ]. Shafer, man
ager of the Butte field office Of the
Social Security Board, persons who car
qualify for social security payments in
cude not only workers 65 and over with
their wives 65 and over, but also aget
widows, widows with children under l8
unmarried children under IS and ageC
dependent parents.
There are five very simple things thai
every worker and every member Of hi'
family should know about the old-agC
and survivors insurance program:
/. II worker has reached retire
ment ages or Overland has beer
working on Jobs covered by the Socia
Security Act, he should contact tn,
Social Security Board field office to Sc,
if he has a benefit coming to him or i
it would be to his interest to file hi
claim.
II the wife Of a worker who qualities
is 65, or when she reaches that age
she should Immediately visit the offic,
to file her claim.
?. If a worker dies--and has beer
working If a job covered by the old
age and survivors insurance provisions
the chances are that his family
(widow children, parents or someon
who paid burial costs) has something
coming to them 1t may be MONTH,
checks 1t may be lump sum. 1t ma,
be both-a lump sum now and MONTH,
clecks later on
3. Whatever is to be paid does no
come automatically. 1t has to be claimed
The place to file a claim is at the near
est office Of the Social Security Board
4 There is nc. charge for any 0
the services of the Social Securit
Board
S. Delay in filing claim may resul
in loss of part or all Of benefit tha
would otherwise have been payable.
"These are the 'musts-th least tia
any worker should know about his old
age and survivors insurance account
/ Mr. Shafer concluded, but there ar
many more. One of these is that i
addition to having this knowledge him
self. EVERY WORKER SHOULl
TELL HIS FAMILY"

political game and it would not be too
much to credit the inference of Editor
Tom Stout that Governor Ford was
Wheeler's undercover man at the Repub-
lican parley After all it is the turn
Of Clarence to scratch Bertie's back
did not Wheeler help to politically
emasculate Ayers and assassinate Erick-
son?
What worries this writer most is how
the Goppers could accept Wheeler as
their candidate2 The Goppers pride
themselves upon possessing no program
at least they never mention it-they
only scream, recriminate, and say they
will do the same things the New Deal
has done but better How then could
they take Wheeler to their bosom again
for he does have a program At least
be did have a program. Do you not
recall how he shouted that our soldiers
were en- route TO Iceland, and it was
mostly luck that some U-boat failed tc
drown them; do you remember how
Wheeler failed to be present and count
ed at the time of the T. S. declaration
of war in World War II (maybe he was
not for them but he was not as manly
as his protege, Miss Rankin, who had
the courage of her convictions at least)
do you recollcct how Wheeler loaned
his government frank to George Syl-
vester Vierick, Nazi operator in this
war and an agent OF Kaiser Bill il
World War ! Gan convicted and sem
to prison for his activities in both
how Wheeler has been on every side oI
every problem since the memory ot
mankind runneth not to the contrary, Sc

Even if the COP should bestir itsel
and decide it needed some affirmative
and constructive program cannot con
ceive how it can adopt the program
which Wheeler has outlined by his pas
/ performances-and the only way that
know Of judging the future is by tn,
past-but that leads to the lugubrioui
realization that the COP has swallowed
