More Get Social
Security Benefits

More than 1000 residents of Hag-
erstown and Washington County are
receiving monthly benefits under
the old-age and survivors insurance
provisions of the Social Security
Act, according to figures just re-
leased by the Hagerstown Social Sc
curity Administration field office. w.
S. King, manager, said that the rate
of payments is somewhat in excess of
$760,000 annually. Over 5000 people
in the area serviced by the Hagers-
town Office, which includes Frederick
and Washington Counties, are re-
ceiving benefits at the annual rate
of about $1,225, 900 said King. About
one-half of the recipients are retired
workers IS years of age or older or
employed workers who are rs years
of age or older.
In Washington County nearly 1000
retired workers are being paid bene-
fits at yearly rate of about $4,000
King reported. Payments are also
going to over 300 wives and husbands
of retired workers at rate of over
$4,000 yearly. In addition, nearly
$50 Washington County boys and
girls are being paid yearly amount
in excess of $4,000, nearly 200 65-
year-old widows and widowers are
receiving at an annual rate of $81 1000
and over 100 mothers with young
children in their care are being paid
over $4,000 a year. And lastly, 10
dependent parents are being paid
over $500 yearly.
The amendments to the Social Sc
curity Law, passed by the Congress
last August, were responsible for a
decided increase in the number of
claims filed as well as benefit
amounts, according to King. The
benefit increase averaged about n
per cent, while the number of people
receiving benefits was upped about
so per cent. Under the iberalized
eligibility rule, any one who has
reached IS years of age and who has
worked at least a year and half
since 1886, in work covered by the
law, may be eligible for a benefit
and should inquire about his or her
status at the Hagerstown Social Sc
curly Office.

tinguished guests; or sisters and
brothers. So he made up his mind
that he would never leave any of
his audiences in a situation like that,
hence his own salutation.
Talking about doctors, the speak
er said that there was only one that
he would never go to again; not so
much because of the doctor, but be-
cause of his secretary. Explaining
his statement, he told of dropping in
at the doctors office, only to have the
secretary tell him that he out for
lunch, and when he asked if he
would be back after his lunch" the
pert young lady replied: mo, that's
what he went after.
While still on the subject of doc
tors and the ELIGIBILITY of their writ
ing, he mentioned that he once got
a prescription from his family ply
slclan, but commencing to feel bet
ter before he had the prescription
filled, he put it in his wallet and for
got all about it. Some six months
later, he came across it and being
unable to read the writing, couldn't
make out what it was. Then, with
out a smile, he hold his audience
that he used it for six months as a
pass on the railroad and to get into
baseball games. Later he turned it
over to his daughter, who played it
as a piano solo in contest and won
first prize.
He wound up his talk with a
story about Sam Houston, who, hay
ing been served mush at a break
fast gathering, promptly spat it out
and then turning to his host re-
marked: ''You know, some fools
would have swallowed that stuff
As far as this reporter is concern
ed, whether Dr. Hedemans Thurs
day audience would have swallow
ed the mush or not, is a moot point,
but they very definitely, not only
swallowed, but thoroughly enjoyed
his hilarious chit-chat, and if time
would have permitted they would
have been listening to him yet.

DR.. John R. Hedeman Is Guest Speaker At
Combined Kiwanis- Rotary Clubs Meeting
Pastor OF Marks Reformed Church. Baltimore Noted Phil

On Speaking About Speaking"

A combined luncheon meeting OF
the Kiwanis and Rotary Clubs was

Baltimore Kiwanis Club and pas
tor of st. Marks Reformed Church,
Baltimore
To say that Doctor Hedeman's adj
dress was 'howling' success
would be putting it mildly. While
he is well known as a philosopher
and humorist, no one dreamed that
his address on Speaking About
Speaking" would turn out to be a
35-minute weaving together of a
succession of just about the best
stories that his nearly 200 hearers
had heard in a long, long time.
In explaining why he began his
talk with the SALVATION, Different
people at the head table and diff
ferent people at the other tables, .
he told of being present at a meet
ing of a womens' lodge, where the
speaker started out by saying:
Worthy matron, worthy patron,
worthy grand matron, worthy grand
patron, distinguished guests, sisters
and brothers, and friends" When
the SALVATION was finished, Doctor
Hedeman said, he was worried about
the friends" 1t was obvious that
they weren't worthy matrons or
worthy patrons; worthy grand ma
