"She Is Just Away"

BY James Whitcomb Riley
1 cannot say, and will not say,
That she is dead she is just away.
With a CHEEKY smile and a wave OF
the hand,
She has wandered into an unknown
land,
And left us dreaming how very fair
1t needs must be, since she fingers
there.
And you-oh you, who the widest
yearn
For the old-time step and glad return,
Think of her faring on, as dear
In the love Of there as the love OF
here.
Think of her still as the same | say,
She is not dead, she is just away!

ABOUT SOCIAL SECURITY
WEAVER SAYS

Many people would rather
starve than accept charity, and
many entitled TO Old-Age and
Survivors Insurance under Social
Security are enduring poverty be-
cause they confuse this earned In
surance with charity.
Recently a couple visited this
office to inquire about benefits.
The mans sister-in-law, who was
over rs and unmarried, resided
with them. This siSter-in-law
who had retired in 1914 was now
proving to be a financial burden
as she had no income, and when
ever social security had been
mentioned, she declared she
would rather die than accept
charity. He had explained to her
that social security was an
earned right" and not charity"
and that she had paid for 1t when
ever she had worked under en-
ployment covered by social se-
curity, but to no avail.
We sent Tor her wage record,
and 1t revealed that she was fully
insured when she retired in 1914,
so we contacted her and obtained
her signed application. The dis
treSsing feature of the case was
that her long delay in filing had
resulted in a loss of benefits for
a number of years. Her idea of
social security being charity"
had cost her over $4,000 in lost
benefits.
She is now getting a check
every month, and realizes fully
that old age and survivors insur-
ance benefits under social secur-
ity are not charity but monthly
benefit to which she is entitled
because she paid for it in the
same manner that you would pay
for insurance.
