SOCIAL SECURITY
 BENEFITS LISTED
l,944 Persons in Local Area Receiving Benefits
 Under Plan

Approximately 1865 persons in Waterbury are receiving a total of S32,553.61 in monthly social secur- ity benefit payments, it has been revealed by the report of Edward N. Mullarky manager of the Water bury office of the Social Security Board. A total of 1924 in the entire Waterbury area receive $40,552, it was said.
 Since it's inception nine years ago approximately 65,000 persons have made use of the office here, with more than 45,000 social security cards issued. Old-age and survivors benefits have increased here, by about 300, since the first of the year, MT. Mullarky said.
 That old-age and survivors in- surance is truly a family insur- ance program is demonstrated by the fact that over 60 per cent of those receiving benefit payments are women and children" Mir Mularkey said.
 An important point to remem- Der about old-age and survivors insurance" said Mr. Mullarkey, lis that no benefit payments are made until an application for benefits has been filed with the Social Security Board. Therefore, when wage earn CT, age 65 or over, stops working, even temporarily, he should get in touch with the field office immed- lately. Whenever a wage earner dies some member of his family should communicate with the field office promptly. Delay in filing an application may result in loss of benefits

Miss Nolan's prize winning re. ply follows:
 If Johnny comes marching home to a job and an under standing environment, the widely-predicted postwar crime wave will never materialize. The belief that our husbands, sons and brothers will lay down a rifle only to pick up a sawed-off shotgun presupposes that we at home have failed in our job of providing rehabilitation and en- ployment.
 Americas fighting men are strong for fair play, for living according to the rules of the game. Give them half chance and they are decent, lawabiding and reliable. It's up to us to give them not only half chance, but the whole chance.
