he should visit the nearest field Of
fee of the Social Security Admin
istration. This visit is for the
purpose Of finding out what ac-
tons should be taken in protecting
his social security benefits. The
employee should do this whether
he intends to retire now or work
on for an indefinite period.
Benefits can be paid to eligible
workers at age 65 for any month
in which they earn $50 or less on
jobs covered by the law. At age
70, workers can receive their re-
tirement payments regardless of
the amount of their earnings.
A second time for action in
wolves the immediate family or
close relatives of worker who
died either before or after retire
ment. According to Mr.. Sadd, in
quiry should be made as soon as
possible in order to protect family
rights under the survivorship pro-
visions of the insurance program.
Mr.. Sadd also urged the sur
vivors of those veterans of World
War ii who either were killed on
active duty during the war or died
at some later date 10 get in touch
with the field office if they haven't
done so since last August. A re-
cent change makes it possible to
pay certain survivors of qualified
veterans regular social security
benefits based on World War ii
service alone, or on a combina-
ton of such services and employ
ment on jobs under the law. Sur
v'vors should get information c..
their eligibility Immediately in or
der to prevent any loss of benefits.
This applies particularly to the
surviving dependent parents of
World War II serviceman. Regard
less of their ages now, they must
file proof of this dependency with
the Social Security Administration
no later than June 80, 1851, or
within 2 years of the death of the
serviceman, whichever is later.

Fishing Superstitions Are
Explained By World Book

Fishermen who believe in luck
(and what fishermen doesn't?)
will be pleased to learn that the
editors of The World Book Ency-
clopedia have gathered together
fishing superstitions of the last
1000 years.
So, if your lucky frayed trousers
and battered old hat are letting
you down this season, possibly one
of these tried and tested old-time
dos and don'ts will improve your
fishless fishing.
Possibly, you have insulted Nep-
tune by not throwing your first
catch back into the water. Assum-
ing, of course, that you have a
first catch, it is impossible to have
continued luck if you don't toss
your first fnny wiggler back to
King Neptune so that he will grant
a good fishing day. Any Roman
who ever dangled a fishhook into
the mediterranean will testify to
the accuracy of this statement.
The Phoenicians were a bit more
material in dealing with sea gods.
They reasoned that the King of
the sea had all the fish he could
handle,so they concealed a coin in
the bait. This indicated that they
were willing to pay for all the fish
taken from his ocean kingdom.
If fisherman in old Scotland
met stranger or a woman in a
white apron, he promptly did an
about-face and put his fishing off

Insurance payments to Mont
gomery County payees are rough,
ly $958,S96 a year. This increase
in both number and amount of
benefits being paid reflects the first
five months of operation under the
1850 amendments which liberalized
eligibility requirements and bene-
fit amounts.
Of the total number of benefci-
aries, 800 were retired workers
who qualified under the system
and who were 65 years old or more.
These retired workers were being
paid $44,166 each month. In addi-
ton, total of $6,6S9 was being
paid monthly to PIT wives and de-
pendent husbands of retired work
ers. Others who were receiving
monthly payments of old-age and
survivors insurance include 239
widows and dependent widowers
who reached age 65, and 141 moth
ers under age 65 having minor
children i'll their care. Benefits
to widows and widowers totalled
$9,031 while mothers were receiv-
ing $5,232 monthly. There were
48i children receiving total month
ly payments of $14,527.
In the service area of the Wash
ington field office, which includes
District of Columbia and Prince
Georges, Montgomery, Calvert,
.Charlesand st. Mary's counties in
Maryland, 1888 persons were re-
ceiving old-age and survivors in
surance payments at the rate of
nearly So million a year.
Nationally, at the end of Febru-
airy, over $134 million was being
paid monthly to 9,706,586 men,
women and children.
Mr.. Sadd pointed out that even
though these figures are significant
in showing the effect of the recent
changes in the law, there are still
many other persons who are eli
gible to receive insurance payments
but who do not know their rights.
Explaining that benefit payments
cannot be made until an application
is on file, Mr.. Sadd emphasized a
national need for understanding
the program of insurance protec-
ton.
