"7his Weeks Visitor" Child's Aunt Visiting Office of Security Board Finds Encouraging News Concerning Child's Welfare-Fa ather's Earnings Small, But
 Provided Income
Provided Income
By EDWARD N. MULLARKEY

around $3l. It is only his wages in private industry and business that count toward old-age and surviv- ors insurance benefit. In two years time his wages in the garage totalled around $3,l00. To get his average monthly wages, on which benefits are based, we have to di- vide that $3,100 by all the months that elapsed between the time the program started on January l, 1887, and the time he died. That's 100 months. So your brother-in- laws average monthly wage was around $3l. That means that his monthly benefit, based on these wages, would have been only around $1250. His child is eligible for half of that, or $6 25. Forum ately no benefit to any family can be less than $l0 a month. So Anne will get $10. That's the minimum payable on the account of any in- sured worker. This, of course, is not official, we'll have to check your brother r-in-law's account first"
 Miss Avesbury was delighted. "Oh," she exclaimed, you don't know how happy that makes me. It's been quite struggle taking care of Anne, and the money will mean so much to me. Ten dollars 8 month will help lot. It's quite enough for her clothes and the things she needs for school"

Every day Social Security Board field offices throughout the coun- try are visited by men and wo- men who want information and advice on their social security &C., counts-who want to know their personal stake in the Federal In- surance system. Each one Is in- teresting but out of the many who come there are always few who stand out above all others. Each week we choose the most interest ing among them to tell you about in this column, without, of course, mentioning any real names. And here's our selection for. this week.
 Several days ago a very pleas ant-faced young woman came in- to our office. Our minister told me to come and see you" she said. He thought maybe could get something for Anne from social security. She's my niece. She IS six now, and I've taken care of her and supported her ever since she was a year old. can see you won- der at that. But my sister and her husband never took any interest in Anne, and when I said I wanted her, they were just glad to have me take her away"
 I asked: "The child's parents are both dead now?"
 No" she said. My sister is living. But Anne's father passed away in May. He worked under Social Security. I've brought the card that the minister gave me-"
 asked our visitor-I will call her Miss Averbury-about her brother-in- Jaws employment. She said he had been working in a garage the last two years. Before that he worked on farms.
 Tn that case" I said, "he was currently insured when he died. If a worker has been employed in private industry or business ap- proximately half the last three years of his life, he is said to be currently insured. So his little girl is eligible for monthly benefits How much did your brother-in- law average in the garage?"
 She answered: About a hun dred and thirty a month."
 I did some figuring. Then said, For all that, your brother-in- laws average monthly wages under social security were only

Leggett of Waterbury, and Eliza beth Majersky of Torrington, who claim a total of $25,000 damages, Complaints in all of the cases have been drawn up by Attorney Edward Mascolo and will be re- turned to the court Jan. l.
 Dora Mastronato brings her suit for $l0,000 against Attorney Joseph Levine and Joseph Stephens, also known at Steponaitis, owners of property at 15-l7 Albert place. A tenant at the premises, she claims she was injured Dec. g, 1914 when she fell on sidewalk near the front of the building.

Yanks in Paris Offer
Senator Complaints
On Redep|oyment
By the Associated Press,

PARIS, Dec. 6-Homesick Ameri-
can soldiers unburdened themselves
of redeployment complaints yester-
day to a Senator who promised he
would tell Congress and the Army
about it.
Senator Robertson, Republican, Of
Wyoming invited IS enlisted men
from depots where they are awaiting
shipment home. He told them there
would be no retaliation from the
brass hats" for anything they said
so they could talk freely.
They did.
Sergt. Stephen Borowski of Buff
falo, N. Y, started the session by
saying that men in his camp were
annoyed over the fact some soldiers
with low points managed to get back
to the United States on temporary
duty or detached service and, once
home, were released from the Army
TIA Herbert o. Hoover of Johns
town, Pa, said his grippe was that
high-point men in key jobs were de-
clared essential by their command
Ing officers because requirements
could not be obtained
It's the favoritism that is shown
In getting men out" said TIA Robert
0. Houghton of San Francisco
They let actors and football players
out. Is there any way a check can
be put on that?"
The Senator responded that the
only method he knew was to focus
public attention on the situation,
adding: Much of Congress power
has been taken away by the execu-
tive branch of the government dur
Ing the war emergency, and Presi-
dent Truman has not yet said the
war is over"
TIA John c. Wagner of Baltimore
charged that at his station, outside
Marseille, there seems to be no Or
ganization."
I'VE are told there is surplus of
shipping in Marseille, so why do we
have to lie around camp for days?"i
he asked. But the biggest grippe the
men have are the sanitary condi-
tions. There are 1,100 men in my
unit and there's only one shower
And there's hot water for only two
or three hours a day"
The Senator said he would bring
to the attention of the proper au-
thorities his knowledge that ships
were sailing from Marseille without
their full complement"
Il think" said Sergt Louis Schiff
of New York City, that great deal
of secrecy surrounds redeployment
to cover up lot of disorganization
and lack of planning" /
Senator Robertson will leave to-
morrow on the return trip to Wash
ington.
