Every day Social Security Board field offices throughout the coun" try are visited by men and wom- en who want information and ad- vice on their social security ac- counts-who want to know their personal stake in the Federal h. surance system. Each one is in- teresting, but out of the many who come there are always a few who stand out above all others. Each week we choose the most interesting among them to tell you about in this column, with. out, of course. mentioning any real names. And here's our selec- tion for this week.
 A young woman carrying a baby and followed by a sturdy little boy of three came into the Social Security Boards office last week. She walked up to me and said: i've come to ask about my hus- bands social security. Our min- ister told me to get in touch with you"
 gave the little boy box to play with and Mrs. Market, as Ill call her, continued: My hus- band died two months ago. They operated on him for a tumor. All our savings went for his illness and burial. Now I'm down to rock bottom but I don't want to go out and work because of the children they are so small yet"
 "Of course" I agreed. They need you right with them for the next few years
 Mrs. Merkle went on. She said: q can do dress-making at home. I've always made my own clothes, even my suits. made this one 7. But I'm afraid to depend just on what could earn sewing. Do you think there's any chance of me getting monthly payments like the minister sald?"

(COnGlnuSQ rom rage A) Balete Pass.
 Gen. Dalton was born on Jan. 20, 1910. Tn 1927, he was appointed to the United States Military Aca- demy at West Point. After his grad- uation in 1883 he attended various Army schools and held numerous Army posts. His career was marked by a steady rise from second lieu- tenant to brigadier general ct the time of his passing. During the war he participated actively in three major campaigns, distinguishing himself by his courage, leadership and gallantry. He was the recipient of numerous decorations including the Silver Star, the Oak Leaf Cius- ter, the Bronze Star and the Dis. tinguished Service Cross.
 Killed In Action
 "When he was killed in action in the battle of Balete Pass he was do- ing the work he liked best with his soldiers. He died the American way with his boots on."
 The Japanese took 6 terrific beat. ing from the 18th Division and had over 5000 counted dead in the defense of the pass and had total casualties of 10000. This pass was important to the Japs because 1t was their only entrance to the Ca- gayan, valley, which was their breadbasket in northern Luzon. When 1t fell, the battle for north- ern Luzon was won.
 Gen. Dalton was assistant div!- sion commander of the 26th Divi- sion. He was previously reGimental commander of 16lst Regiment. famed National Guard outfit from Washington state, and directed the battle for San Manuel, where 45 enemy tanks were destroyed and 300 Japs killed.

 'The first portion of the above statute was frequently violated in the good old days when the shift lever of automobiles was on the right of the driver coming up through the floor board along with the so-called emergency brake. They took up a lot of space and the driver required a maximum of room to be able to reach them quickly.
 For the past several years, how ever, the manufacturers of cars have placed the gear shift lever in a more favorable position, mount ing it on the steering column below the steering wheel. The hand, or emergency brake lever has been placed on the left ofs the driver, thus really making room for one more passenger in the front seat.
 "The second part of subsection (a) is still being fiagraItly violated by some operators who fail to real ize the dangers involved. The oper- ator who allows anyone, especially boys to ride on the running board of his truck or passenger car just to save a few minutes time on his route is violating not only the state statutes but the laws of com mon sense.
 "Acting superintendent of the Waterbury police department Danie J, Carson asks the cooperation oi all delivery companies in this area that accidents occurring as . re- suit of careless riding by theti drivers helpers will be kept at the lowest possible minimum"

In New Haven during the re- cent period for making new voters 2,l72 names were added to the lists. In Bridgeport the total was I.i38: WateFbury's total was less tham 1000, which isn't too bad when compared to BridgepOrts' where there are three active major uOlitical parties.
