Though Mr.. Still was born in
Woodville, Mississippi, he received
his elementary and high school
education in the public schools of

compositions in the Hollywood
Bowl. He has orchestrated for w
{. Handy, Sophie Tucker, Paul
Whiteman and Artie Shaw among
others. For several years, he ar
ranged and conducted the Deep

introduced in 1881 by DR.. Howard
Hanson in Rochester and has been
played hundreds of times, in whole
or in part, in the States and abroad.

CIVILIZATION

In any organized program effort |
we try to reach through a careful ap
proaeh, a good and sound method
of eyaluating our work In the YIN
CA program emphasis is Of a gen.
eral character development nature,
which would naturally include a
we'll rounded reereational agenda
and all other related activities
that would be pertinent to charac-
ter development. You might ask
this question: What does a boy or
man receive in the form of real
value from such activities as foot
ball, basketball, softball etc. Does
1t make a better boy out of him?
Does it make a better man out Of
him? / think we can answer these
questions best by pointing out that
organized activities for youth is
certainly way Of combating the
age old problem of juvenile de-
linquency. 1t affords constructive
use of his leisure time which
otherwise may be wasted in other
pursuit. 1t gives them a chance for
individual expression and from
these expressions we sometimes
find our leaders of tomorrow. 1t
/, affords him the knack of getting
along with people, of living to-
gether tremendously in our COM
pick social order. He is able to
adjust himself with other groups
We do not say here nor do we
imply that such a program is the
total answer to our juvenile delin-
quency problem, for the real train
ing that our young people receive
in their preparation for adult life
is at home, no program of any a.
geney or group of agencies can
substitute for good home training.
The school. Church, the YMCA
and other agencies have as their
purposes to guide and help develop
those qualities that are conducive
to good citizenship. Recreation
serves as nuclei for other ac-
tivities, and sometimes it is only
through such activities that we
are able to assemble large groups
This serves as a common point of
interest and from this point il is
a simple matter TO introduce an
other phase Of the program. We
believe that the real value of our
program can best be felt. VIXEN
through our efforts. we can reach
the boy, and expose him to many
more worthwhile things that
would be of far greater value to
him in later life.

curity.
/. 1t provides retirement pen
sions at age IS. AS pointed out
here yesterday. the new law raises
these for present pensioners as
we'll as those who become eligible
in the future, and brings most
self employed people, and many
wage-earners not previously
covered. into the social security
system.
2. Social security also provides
death benefits for the family OF
a covered wage-earner who dies
This important feature has not
been generally realized. AS a re-
suit, many people have forfeited
all or part Of the benefits they
were entitled to even under the
old law.
If covered worker dies at any
time, even if he's not yet IS, his
wife and all unmarried dependent
children under 18 get monthly
payments until the last child
reaches 18 (when the widows
payments stop, too, to resume
again when she's 65). The widow
also gets a lump-sum payment
