Patrol Searches
Noble County For
Two Bank Bandits
Abandoned Car
Found Thursday
At Seneca Lake

: Search for the two bandits who
obtained approximately $4,000 in
the daring holdup of the Com
mercial Bank at Lower Salem
Wednesday afternoon turned to
Guernsey and Noble counties
Friday after state highway pat
rolmen recovered the car used
in the robbery Thursday night
in a woods along Skyline Drive
near Seneca Lake.
The car, 1949 Ford coach
bearing West Virginia license
plates (10l-133) had been the
object of search by state patrol
men and other law enforcement
officers since it was observed
travelling north in Monroe county
several hours after the two hold
up men had fled the bank after
rifling the teller cages of all
available cash. A check of license
registrations revealed that it was
the car reported stolen Tuesday
evening in Wheeling, w. Va.
Officers speculated that the
youthful bank robbers had
switched cars somewhere in the
vicinity of Seneca Lake. Corporal
j. M. Relac of the Cambridge
patrol station, was dispatched to
the scene early Friday. Casts of
tire tracks in the area where the
stolen car was recovered were
made, and the getaway car is
being checked for fingerprints
at the Cambridge station.
The man hunt, which had been
conducted throughout south
eastern Ohio the past two days,
centered in this locality late
Thursday after a Noble County
farmer reported seeing an auto
mobile which answered the de-
scription of the getaway car. The
car was observed in the vicinity
of Berne Thursday. Recovery of
the car has intensified the
search in this immediate locality.
Three employees at the bank
said the two bandits appeared
to be about % years of age. One
was described as being about five
feet five inches in height and
weighing about $50 pounds and
the other was said to be about
six feet tall and weighing about
165 pounds.
The cowboy-booted bandit and
his six-foot companion trussed
up the bank employees, includ-
ing Cashier Roy MILESTONE, Miss
Nora Thomas, clerk and Mrs.
Lula Blake, a part-time clerk,
and rifled the tellers' cages, the
entire operation requiring only
about Is minutes.
The loot, which was estimated
between $4,000 and $4,000, in
cluded a bundle of cash the
cashier had just brought back
from a Marietta bank. This led
authorities to theorize that the
holdup was staged by men who
had kept activities of the bank
under close watch.
The bandit clad in black west
ern boots and light tan trench
coat was a two-gun man.

Don't be fooled and wait until
April 1st to file your applica-
ton" was the advice issued TO-
day to persons why may be
eligible for benefits under The
revised social security program
by John G. ]. Mcdonald, man
ager of the Quincy Office Of the
Social Security Administration.
Several new-type benefits are
payable under the amended law
because of reduced eligibility re-
quirements and other technical
charges, Mcdonald said. Since
beneAts may be retroactive for
six months before the month in
which claim is filed, March 3lst
is the deadline for obtaining all
payments due back to Septem-
Der 1850. If claim is filed in
April it will be retroactive only
to October 1850; and, if filed in
May, it will be retroactive only
to November 1850. Those who
may qualify are:
All wage earners who are now
IS and who have worked at least
a year and a half in employ
ment covered by the law since
January 1887. A number of
women who worked during
World War II may be eligible
for old-age insurance benefits,
but because they worked only a
short time some believe no pay
ments are possible, Mcdonald
said. IMPORTANT: However,
benefits are not payable for any
months in which the worker
earns more than $4,000 in Social
Security covered jobs; and this
condition applies to any such
month during the retroactive
period.
Employed wage earners who
are now rs years of age may
receive an old-age insurance
check every month even though
they are working full time.
Widows with children urder
18 in their care whose husband
was killed in service during
World War II, or who died after
his discharge, may be entitled
monthly payments. The deceased
veteran must have been in the
Armed Forces between Septem-
Der 1910 and July 1947. These
survivors should inquire about
survivors insurance benefits even
though the deceased veteran has
never had a social security ac-
count number.
Children under the age of 18
Of a woman worker who died
after 1889 may be eligible for
survivors insurance benefits pro-
vided that their mother had
worked at least a year and half
in the three years Immediately
preceding her death. In such
cases it is immaterial if the chill
dren were living with and sup
ported by their father, Mr.. Nc
Donald stated.
The wife Of a retired wage
Garner is eligible for benefits if
she has children under the age
Of 10 in her care. She does not
have to be 65 to receive monthly
payments.
Monthly benefits can also be
paid to dependent parents who
