ID. {. Soldier Rescues
Comrade From River
Under Heavy Fire

When fellow soldier slipped from
a bridge under construction into the
fast-moving Saar River, Pfc. Gerald
r. Kiley, 905 Fifth street NV,
crawled to him under fierce ma
chine-gun fire and dragged him to
safety. He has been awarded the
Bronze Star Medal.
The incident took place while a
group of engineers from the 101st
Combat Battalion were building a
foot bridge. They came under OBJ
servation of the Germans and i'm
mediately drew fire.
Scrambling for cover with the rest,
Pvt. Kiley noticed a comrade had
slipped into the icy water. Realiz-
ing that the man could not long hold
to the structure against the swift
current, Pvt. Kiley determined to
90 out to him. Though machine
gun bullets were whizzing over the
bridge, Pvt. Kiley reached him and
dragged him onto the bridge. Then
he aided the half frozen soldier to
safety.

cited on all battle fronts for out

SOCIAL SECURITY
FILING IS URGED

MANY hundreds of people ia
this area have lost or are in the
process of losing regular Social
Security benefit payments because
Of failure to file claims upon the
death of a wage Garner In the
family" N. A. Avera, manager
of the district Social Security Field
office, said yesterday.
Mr.. Avera, who heads the office
that covers New Hanover, Bruins.
wick, Columbus, Bladen, Fender,
Onslow, Jones, Craven, Carteret,
Duplin and Pamlico counties, ex-
planned that his office had recent.
~ discovered several cases of
failure to file and subsequent loss
of benefits. In one case, now be-
ling completed, it was only by
sheer accident that it was report
ed and the beneficiary saved the
possible loss of $4,38812 in bene-
fits.
The case, that Of a Wilmington
woman whose husband died May
16, 1914, was reported only when
a friend of the widow happened
to question Mr.. Avera as to wheth.
err or not the woman was receiv.
ing benefit payments. Upon check.
ing it was found that the widow,
under misrepresentation about her
eligibility for benefits due to the
fact that her husband had been
self-employed for four years before
Ibis death, had never filed. Filing
in April of this year, she and her
child were eligible for retroactive
benefits starting in January this
year of $16.34 monthly for the
widow and 5000 for the child. Had
she filed Immediately upon her
husbands death she would have
received an additional $19O.61 in
monthly checks.
Another case recently reviewed
by the office is that of a widow.
who lost all claim to benefits be-
cause she was under the impress
sion that a claim had been filed
for her by a friend. She reported
her claim two years and ten days
after the death of her husband.
Since the law allows only a two
year period after death in which
to place claims, she will receive
no benefits.
Many people are not informed
as to the Social Security laws,
which effect the majority of all
workers. Mr.. Avera said he
wished to make it clear to work
ers that any change in status
should be Immediately reported to
the Social Security office in the
custom house, Room 100, either
by personal call or letter. Letters
should contain the full name and
birth date of the writer, as we'll
as the Social Security account
number.
Lump sum settlements are made
to widows under IS years without
children under 10 years of age
or non-dependent parents or adult
dependent children.
Monthly payments for mother
and child are made to widows with
children under 10 years of age for
a period until the child reaches
it's 18th birthday.
