FEDERAL SECURITY AGENCY
Many Persons Employed in House
holds Earned Right to Insurance


Many persons in Delaware who
have been regularly employed in
private households have now earn
ed the right to old-age and surviv-
ors insurance, Mr.. Myron Milbouer,
manager of the State social secur-
ity Office at 9th and King Streets
in Wilmington, has advised. This
insurance protection was made
possible for regular household
workers, regular farm hands, self
employed individuals, and some
other groups by the 1850 amend
ments which extended social secur-
ity coverage to them. This provi-
sion began operating January /,
1851, and properly reported work.
ers since then may now have slffic-
lent credits to give survivors insur-
ance protection in the event of
death. Those older workers near
ing or past age 65 may qualify for
old-age insurance benefits when
they retire, if has much as a year
and half of coverage has been
gained. Social security payments
serve to replace lost earnings due
to old age when many people are
no longer able to work or get a
job. Also, family income may stop
when the worker dies leaving chill
dren or other dependents. In many
such Instances survivors benefits
help to keep the home together.

Wilmington will answer your ques-
tions and new booklet number "a,

Keeping Up With The Braves

the score stood 8 to 2 Salisbury.
The Braves made it 9-3 in the bot
tom half when, with two away, linn,
who had reached first on a fielder's
choice and moved to second on an
error, scored on Hersom's single to
left.
The Braves got back in the ball
game in the fifth, due to Hedrick's
wildness, when they showed across
five runs to make the score 9-8 Sails
bury. With one away, Hedrick walk
ed Hersom, Wilson, Jaderlund and
Jordan in order, with Jordan's walk
forcing in Hersom and leaving the
sacks full. That was all for He'd
rick and Bill Blanton went to the
mound.
Riddle, the first man to face him,
singled to center, scoring Wilson and
Jaderlund, with Jordan going to
third. Christian struck out, but Loos
came through with the second hit of
the inning, single to right, scoring
Jordan and sending Riddle to third.
Then, with linn at bat, a balk was
called on Blanton, scoring Riddle
with Loos taking second. But the
rally ended when linn struck out.
Blanton then shutout the Braves in
the last two frames.
Salisbury scored six more runs in
the eighth on five hits and two walks,
to make the final score Is to 8.

Moore and Pflasterer both singled
and then Bamberger, who in his FIVE
previous times at bat had only got
one ball out of the infield, stepped
to the plate and knocked one high
and wide over the rightfield wall,
scoring Moore and Pfasterer ahead
of him.
The Braves put on a mild rally in
the bottom half With one away,
Lloyd Freund, pinch-hitting for Bush,
singled to center and then Hintz had
wild streak and walked Jaderlund
and Joran filling the bases with one
out Riddle was up next and he hit
the first pitch and popped it up for
the second out Christian beat out
a hit to short, scoring Freund, with
Jaderlund going to third and Jordan
to second. But the game ended when
Loos flied to left.

Although there were three errors
made in the game (none of which
figured in the scoring), the defense
on both sides, at times, boarded on
the sensational. The Braves came up
with three double plays to bring
their total to 119, while the Red
Roses came up with a pair of fast
ones also. Manager Dorman chang
ed his lineup, with Lloyd Freund re-
placing Jordan at third and Jimmy
linn batting second instead of in the
sixth slot.
With the exception of the fourth
inning, when Phasterer beat out a
slow roller to third and scored ahead
of Bamberger, Lancaster's right
fielder, who for the second night in
row smacked one over the right
field wall to give Lancaster two runs,
Charlie Miller was in complete COM
mand and it was a tough game for
him to lose.
After pitching no-hit ball through
five-and-one-third innings, Ceplo
gave up his only run in the sixth
when, with one away, Jaderlund and
linn got back-to-back doubles, with
Zinn's blow scoring Jaderlund. Ceplo
then retired the next two batters in
order and followed that by retiring
the side in order in the seventh and
eighth frames. But the Braves had
a tough break in the bottom half of
the ninth.
Jimmy linn, the first man up,
smashed one down the third base
line for what normally would have
been solid two-base hit, but

Berger got his hit he was the first
man up, but was promptly erased by
fast double play. Ossola's hit came
with one man out, but Giggie then
got the next two batters on fly balls.
Barth was also the first man up, but
his hit was also erased by fast dou-
BILE play Bob walked four, two of
them being the first men up, but in
each instance he then retired the side
in order.
The start of the game was held up
for Is minutes because of rain and
was again held up for 30 minutes in
the bottom half of the first inning.
1t was 20 Hagerstown in the first.
Jaderlund, the first man up, walked.
Hoch fielded Zinn's bunt but threw
wild to first, with Jaderlund going
all of the way to third and linn to
second on the two-base error. Buck
Riddle then scored them both with
single to right. Christian hit into a
double play and Hoch then struck
out Loos to retire the side.

Old streetcar preservation probably
is one of the newest hobbies in the
country, but even so there are hun
dreds of enthusiasts.
Electric railway cars seem almost too
recent to be considered collectors
items" In fact, it was only GA years
ago that Frank j. Sprague, father of
street railways" built the first sue
cessful electric streetcar system, a
12-mile layout in Richmond, Va.
BY 1910, nearly 100000 trolley cars
were operating on the streets of Amer
lean cities and high-speed interurbans
connected almost every community.
Four lines connected Washington and
other communities. They were the
Washington, Baltimore g. Annapolis,
the Washington, Arlington g. Falls
Church, the Washington. Alexandria g.

a diesel-powered freight line as far as

They are restoring its white and gold
finish, its front and rear platforms, the
rows of pigeon holes on the inside. it's
mail-sack racks and even the letter
drop in which pedestrians could mail
letters when the car stopped.
The society obtained it from the
transit company which, after its mail
car days were ended, used the car as
construction superintendent's Office.
The society also has an early pas
senger car from the transit company
and hopes soon to acquire one of the
earliest cars from the Wilkes-Barre
pa street railway system.
Surprisingly, perhaps, the society is
not interested in electric railway or
streetcar promotion. It's only purpose
is to tell chapter of American history
which for the most part, has passed
into oblivion.

only one of whom is connected with

DELIEVE it or not, probably the
ID most unusual lobbyist organ

It is the Washington Electric Railway
Historical Society, whose ultimate goal
is to establish museum where signifi-

can be preserved.
At present, the object of the society's
affection is an old street railway mail

about 1873 as passenger carrying
horsecar, but later was converted into
a mail-car and, from 1895 until 1913,
collected and discharged mail along

electrified, but. as a mail-car. was used
trailer fashion behind other cars.
