Local Methodists
Join In Peace Prayer
On December 3 lst

Local Methodists will join SUM-
day with the denomination's
nearly nine million members in a
national mid-century prayer for
peace, it was announced today by
the Rev. c. T. Floyd, pastor of the
Methodist Church.
He said the call to special pray
er was sounded by the Methodist
Council of Bishops and the
, church's General Board of Evan
gelism in view of the "excep-
tionally grave conditions of the
world today"
In letter to pastors of $4,000
Methodist churches, the board
urged every congregation to unite
in "a chain of prayer on mid-cen-
tury Sunday, beseeching Gods
guidance in converting world
crisis to a just and lasting peace"
Declaring that "mankind's hope
for freedom is in desperate jeop-
ardy," the plea for prayer coin
cided with a similar request by the
president of the new National
Council OF Churches, Episcopal
Bishop Henry Knox Sheriff., of
New York. He urged all Protes-
tants to offer prayers on Decem-
ber 81 for "a peace which is the
fruit of righteousness"
,, The letter to pastors, stressing
individual and group participa-
ton, stemmed from the following
call by Methodist bishops:
With sense of deep urgency
J we call our fellow Methodists and
all others who will to join us in
special prayer.
Let us pray daily for the lead
ers Of our country and of the Unit
ed Nations, that God will give
them wisdom and courage to seek

Benefit
Social Security
Increase Here

Each of the $4,000 social Sc
curity beneficiaries in this area
will receive a substantially
larger insurance check during
the week of October 1, accord
ing to Wayne w. Putnam, man.
ager of the Toledo office of the
Social Security Administration.
The three million beneficiaries
as authorized by the C e n
amendments to the Social Sc
curity Act.
The new amendments to the
Act provided that larger pay
ments should begin for the
month of September. Il have re-
ceived word" said Mr. Putnam,
"that the checks are now all
ready to go into the post offices
in the last mail on October 2, at
the Treasury Disbursing offices.
This should mean that most
beneficiaries will receive their
new, larger payments on Tues
day, October 3, or a day or two
later if they have normally been
getting their checks on the 4th,
5th, or 9Th"
The increased September pay
ments will be made automatic
ally to all those who received
August checks and r still
eligible. Mr.. Putnam said that
new claims filed since early
August are in process.
Increases range from 1907
for those who were receiving
the lowest amounts under the
old law, to about 500 for those
whose payments were in the
higher brackets.
Each new monthly benefit
payment is based upon a table
of increases set forth in the law,
Mr.. Putnam said. The table
shows exactly what each new
payment is to be, depending
upon the previous benefit rate.
