Voters Should Go To
Polls On tuesday

Voters in Dayton and Montgo-
merry County will go to the polls
next Tuesday between the hours
of 6:30 am. to $50 pm. A
number of candidates and issues
will appear onthe ballot for the
voter to cast his vote for.
AS this newspaper has pointed
out to its readers in articles dur
ing the past few weeks this will
probably do down in history as
the quitest election since the
thirties. It has perhaps been sew
eral decades since the voting pub
lie faced an election so complete
ly in the dark as to the who and
what. Some observers doubt that
one voters in ten can name more
than two candidates for the city
commission and probably none of
Of those running for the school
board.
Many voters have already de-
clared that they were not even
going to bother to vote for a city
commissioner or a school board
candidate. "What difference does
it make who I vote for?" is the
usual comment.
AS any thinking person would
know this attitude is wrong. A
big vote is always to disadvantage
Of the public while a small vote
invariably gives the advantage to
the politician. And everyone runn-
ing for a public office is to a

Independent Death Payments

Independent Death Payments
If worker dies leaving no one
eligible who could claim a monthly
insurance payment in the month Of
death, lump-sum payment may be
made.
Again, the wage Garner must
have been either "fully insured" or
currently insured" under this
part of the social security program.
These terms have been discussed
earlier. The amount payable is
from $50 to about $3.50, depending
upon earnings.
Where death occurred before
January /, 1947 these lump-sum
payments go to the widow, widow
err, children, grandchildren or par
ents in the order named, but if
none of these survive then the
lump-sum may be paid to the per-
sons who paid funeral expenses.
Where death occurred on or af-
ter January l., 1947, lump-sum
payments are paid to the widow, or
widower, and only if the spouse
was living with the wage-earner at
the time of death. If there is no
widow or widower, or the spouse
was not living with the wage-earn-
er, lump-sum payments may be
paid to the person who paid the fu-
