Every day Social Security board ofnces throughout the country are visited by men and women who want information and advice on their social security accounts who want to know their personal stake in the federal insurance sys- tenn. Each one is interesting, 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, without, of course, men, tioning any real names. And here's our selection for this week.
 An old gentleman, accompanied by a young woman-obviously his daughter-came into our ofiice the other day. The lady seemed to be shaken by some recent tragedy. She acted as if she were in @ daze. was not surprised, there fore, to see her father open the conversation.
 He said: My daughter lost her husband two weeks ago. I brought her here to see about his social security. MT. Bell was an engi- neer. (This was not the real name, of course.) He worked ten years for the ....... company" With this the old gentleman took

Young,O Old Sharing In New Program
 Loyal Order of Moose Outlines
 PIons

Mooseheart, Ill, Nov. 10-The two million dollar building program which the Loyal Order of Moose planned to begin as soon as war restrictions on building material eased, is now under way. This pro- gram has twofold purpose: First, the erection of needed buildings for Its child city of MooSeheart, in Illinois, and for Moosehaven, it's home for the aged in Florida. Sec- ond, to make a substantial contri- button to the reconversion program by creating more jobs.
 The postwar building program of the Moose opened at Moosehav- en. It considers the erection of 20 domiciIliary units. One is already rompleted, and the second almost. 1t is expected that the full con- struction program at its home for the aged will be completed in six months. +
 The building program at Moose heart is much greater. The first building to be erected will be an Imposing t tabernacle called the r1OuSe Ol SOO, WLlcIcIu HlcIIlUCIo of all faiths may worship. This tabernacle will include @ memorial shrine to the members of the Moose and to the graduates of Mooseheart who paid the supreme sacrifice in World War II.
 Other construction work at Mooseheart will include dozen or more residence buildings of three basic types-for boys. for girls, and for children of kindergarten age. If the experience of World War is to be duplicated, Mooseheart ar- ticipates a great increase in its child population following World War II. Already the children of Moose members who died in action gre being received at Mooseheart.
 Another important building planned for Mooseheart is the Alumni House" containing the es- sential features of a modern hotel. It Is designed to serve the many thousands of Moose who, with their families and friends, annually visit Mooseheart, many of whom come from long distances and stay the greater part of week.

 turned to the widow. asked her If she had a child.
 Two" she answered.
 Then" said, there is no doubt that both you and the chil- dren are eligible for monthly ben- eflts. They will be based on your husbands wages. But not on all that he earned. He had & very good salary, you see. For social security only $S,000 year can count. Your husband paid social security taxes on only $3,0Oo Q year."
 Her father asked how much she would receive each month.
 I told him that the figure I gave would not be official at this time because we had to check Mir. Bells social security account first. However, said that the total monthly payment would be around $75-about $33 for Mrs. Bell. and $21 for each of the children.
 "As much as thatl" the father exclaimed. He was clearly Sur- prised, and added: My daughter will do very well with that. She has some insurance, and with this SIS a month she'n stop worrying about being a burden on her mother and me. How long will the benefits continpe?"
 I told him they would continue until the younger child was IS and added, When the older child has reached that age, his payments will stop, but payments for Mrs. Bell and the younger child will continue till he, too, is 18."
 Mrs. Bell didn't say anything. The tragedy was too recent for her to be able to appreciate what SIS regularly every month would mean in the long years ahead. But the old gentleman and ex- changed a meaningful glance.
 I continued to explain, address ing myself to the father. Your son-in-law was fully insured when he died. This means that al- though benefits for Mrs. Bell will stop when her younger child is IS, they will begin again when she is 65 and will keep on for the re- mairder of her life. That is, pro- vided she has not remarried. Of course, at 65 she will receive only her benefit-not as much as when the children were young"
 went to get the claim papers, but from my desk I could hear the old mans words to his daugh- ter. Gladys" he said, T wouldn't have believed 1t. I had no idea social security would take care of you like that. No idea at all"

 Monday the Japs loosed a heavy barrage but since then fire has been slackening.
 The Leathernecks strengthened their line Tuesday with slight ad- vances north up the high ground blanketed by pillboxes and block houses.
 The Marines have cut across the island at the center and have their finger tips on one airfield which the Japs are fiercely defending.
 The Nips are being pounded from the sea and bombed from the air. Battleships have blasted the Japs with 16-inch guns and dive bombers have raked them with machine gun fire.
 Sgt. Martin Lippman, on 25 missions over the island, said Tt has been so bomb-scarred it looks as though nothing has been left of vegetation. The Japs are getting no additional supplies, no rein forcements, and virtually no air support"

WASHINGTON = Congress today is as unpredictahle as Washington weather. Excitement ebbs and flows Important legislation sometimes gives way to junior Madison Square Garden or a sleeping con- test. On the celebration of his birthday, George Washington would have been interested in seeing what happened in the Congress he helped sire.
 In the Senate, Mcfarland of Arizona delivered dignified, statesmanlike speech on freedom of the press. Two of the 96 Senators were in their chairs. Only Demo- crat was faithful Lister Hill of Alabama Only Republican was conscientious Harold Burton of Ohio.
 As Mcfarland spoke, other Sen ators drifted in and out. Venerable new Senator Admiral Tommy" Hart of Connecticut, dressed in snappy tan tweeds in sharp con- trast to his former Navy Blues, didn't even bother to listen, buried himself in a Congressional report. Missouri's COP Forrest Donnell, who is alleged to look up the Con- stitution to see if it is legal for him to go home at night, idled in, picking his teeth. Then he beat a nasty exit.
