Q. Does everybody get the same
amount in benefits?
A. No. Benefits are based prim-
arily on the workers average
monthly wage. He is credited with
all wages that he has received for
work in covered employment, up
to $1,000 a year. The Social Secur-
ity Administration keeps an ac-
count for every worker in covered
employment, under the workers
name and social security number.
This number is the same as that
on the social security card that
the worker takes out the first time
he gets job in private industry
or commerce. When the worker or
his family files a claim for bene-
fits, the workers social security
account determines the size of the
benefits.
q. l reached age 90 on April IA,
1850. How many quarters of COW
erage do I need to be fully in
sured?
A. A worker born April IA, 1885,
would need 26 quarters of cover
age in order to be fully insured.
@. was over 65 when social Sc
curity started. Can get any bene-
fits?
A. Yes, if you have been paid
wages of $50 or more in each of
six calendar quarters since Janu-
ary 1, 1899. You must file claim
to get benefits.

REPORT ON MONTHLY SALES
Volume of Department Store Sales

Volume of Department Store Sales
in Third Federal Reserve District
The volume of department store
sales in the Third Federal Reserve
District increased as July pro-
gressed. BY the last week of the
month, sales were so per cent
greater than those of the CORES
ponding week of 1949. According
to the Federal Reserve Bank of
Philadelphia, seasonally adjusted
sales for July were substantially
above those of the previous month
as well as the preceding year.
A large portion of the sales in
crease was due to the so-called
protective buying" on the part OF
the consumer. Preliminary de-
partmental figures for July show
huge gains over last year in the
sales Of sheets, hosiery, major
household appliances and televi'

apparently expects to be scarce il

Village to Aid
In Traffic Survey
For State Group
Program Will Attempt
To Provide Basis For
Distribution of Funds

Marysville will take part in
traffic and street survey to be
made for the Ohio Highway
Study Committee, Mayor C. L.
Kingsmore said today. The plan
was outlined to Police Chief
Clarence Brown, the villages re-
preventative, at district high
way survey meeting held in the
Dinner Bell restaurant recently.
H. C. Eckhardt, staff engineer
with the Highway Study Com
mittee, was the chairman of the
meeting at which the nearby
communities of DeGraff, Belle
fontaine, Mechanicsburg, Wes-
terville, and Rushsylvania were
represented. Due to the bad
weather, many municipalities
scheduled to send representa-
tives failed to do so.
The attendance at this meeting
was far below the 2s-35 men
usually attending, as only 10
were present. A total of six meet
ings were held last week in var
ious parts of the state.
The purpose of the meeting
was to enlist the aid of the towns
in making a survey of traffic and
street conditions. The results of
this survey will be presented to
the Ohio General Assembly in
an attempt to secure more even
distribution of State aid to high
way projects.
At present there are many
complaints throughout the state
that this fund is not being dis
tributed according to the needs
and uses of the municipalities.
Mayor Kingsmore added that
the details of the program have
not been worked out yet. They
will include measuring of streets,
bridges, car counts, and other
checks and will present a better
idea of where the traffic funds
are most needed and will do the
most good.

Union Azranges For Dedication
Of It's New Gymnasium on Friday

Dedication ceremonies for the
new Union High School gym at
Milford Center will be held Fri
day night, Jan. 13, in the 100000
building, Supt, H. R. Hinton an
nounced this week.
The annual Junior supper will
proceed the program and dance
and everyone is invited to at
tend. No game has been scheduled
for the Union Cagers on that
date.
The dedication ceremony,
scheduled to begin at 8 p. m,
will include a short movie and
speeches by various men of the
community who were instru-
mental in the planning and con-
struction of the building. The
contractors and the architect will
be present.
The people connected with the
community and the building will
be the only speakers and each
will give a short talk. This was
decided upon in lieu of an out
side guest speaker.
After the program a dance will
be held in the gym from nine un-
til II with the Sunset Serena
ders Orchestra furnishing the
music.
The entire community of Union
Township and Milford Center can
feel justly proud of this gym and
auditorium as it is as fine as any
in the county. The playing floor
itself is 80 feet long, only three
feet shorter than Marysville's.
The folding bleachers, the
same kind as in the Marysville
gym, will not be installed this
season. Instead, the Marysville
football bleachers have been set
up and they worked very we'll in
the initial game with Urbana
Township Tuesday night when
there was a total of 467 paid ad-
missions.

but the Irish would rather beat
the Monarchs than any other
team on their schedule and can
not be counted out by any means.
The Ada team that the Mon

Hardin County court will be
tougher than the Irish from all
indications. The Bulldogs hold
wins over st. Marys and Kenton
among others. The Kenton tilt
was a 51-50 overtime thriller.
The Monarchs have averaged
almost SO points per game while
holding their opposition to "a

these teams to be faced over the
weekend are the high-scoring
type and the Monarchs defense
will be taxed to maintain this

MonarChS Revive
In Second Half,
Defeat Delaware
Hendricks Leads
Rally; Foul Shooting
May Set Record

After sputtering throughout
the first half, Marysville's Mon
4rchs came to life Friday night to
down a good Delaware Willis
team 54-39 on the Panthers' home
floor.
The Monarchs simply were un-
able to get rolling in the first and
second periods as the Panthers
held an 1917 lead at halftime.
Marysville had taken the lead
8-6 at the end of the first period
only to see it fade in the face of
a 12-point Delaware attack in
the second. Marysville could
score only nine in that quarter.
The team came to life in the
third frame when Smed Hen
bricks, subbing for Bill Boyd, be-
gan to hit on his special type of
pivot shot and brought the en-
tire team back to normal. Hen
bricks contributed an excellent
game and was a mayor factor IN
the victory.
Foul Shooting Record
Although Delaware made one
more goal than did Marysville,
the Monarch foul-shooting was
simply too much for them. The
Monarchs made good on the as
founding total of "a out of 25 free
throws to set something of re-
cord in these pats.
Hoffman's 10 out of ii was the
best effort of the evening. Bud
added two baskets to these for a

Union Highs Wolves dropped
the first game in their new gym
Tuesday night as a strong Ur-
bana Local outfit stopped them
44-34.
The Urbana team, paced by
Ropp and knight, a pair of
sharp shooting guards who hit
for % points, outscored Union
1913 in the third period to break
up what had been a close game
at halftime. Union came back to
within two points of the winners
in the final period but a surge
in the closing minutes broke all
hope of victory.
This left Union with a seasons
record of eight wins and four
losses. Bright and Knedler were
high scorers for the Wolves with
II points each while Gabriel hit
for 10. Gene Harbold contributed
a fine game under the boards.
Union won the reserve game
