Norman said he dived and
pulled Dean to the surface after
he stumbled in the swift water.

ABOUT SOCIAL SECURITY
WEAVER SAYS

Enquire before you retire"
If you're thinking at any time
within the next six months of a
year. I'd suggest that you begin
getting your "house in order" BY

over, consider what you will do
with your time, figure out what
amount ofyincome you will have
to live on, what your insurance
premiums, taxes and other more
or less fixed items, doctors and
dentists bills, etc, etc.
When you're figuring your
probable income, don't forget
Social Security. Be sure to check
with your Social Security office
at least a month or two before
your actual retirement. You want
to be sertain as to the approximate
amount you will receive, learn
what your obligations may be,
the proofs (if any, we will need,
how much you may earn and still
remain entitled to receive your
benefit checks, etc.
In some instances we have been
helpful in counseling people so
that they retire at an earlier or
later date than had been planned
thereby gaining some advantage.
In some cases we have helped
people to greater monthly benefits
and in other benefits payable for
months prior to the actual date
of filing their claim. Unless we
can talk these things over it is
not always possible for us to be

TO WHOM 1T MAY CONCERN:

On September 23rd, 1852 in the
city of Brooklyn, U.S.A., NY,
a baseball team going under the
names of The Brooklyn Buns,
The Dodgers, The Flock, Giant
Bait, ct al, in a fit and becoming
manner did meet and trounce a
Philadelphia team of nine men,
and thereby clinched, nailed
down and are now known as the
World Champs of their respective

known as Dodgers) were advised
by Durocher followers to end
it all in the Gowanus, Miami or
the River of Jordan, either that
was nearest, because of the re-
sounding whipping our team took
enabling the NY Giants from
the Bronx to erase a 1914 game
lead we held. Well these same
folk, and you know who you are,
can 60 to no, no, not even does
he want you!
All that hell raising, pat on
the back of fellow faithfuls, and
jocular remarks to tear -sodden
Dodgers were turned into silly
excuses for the poor showing the
Giants displayed on the field and
at bat against weak New York
Yankee team. Remember that
CASTOR and Alphonse act at first
base? Well you won't see such
insane carrying ons in this series.
You will have masters of the
oak and hide at the plate and the
sharpest fielding you ever layed
your eyes on.
Yeah, we know-Willie Mays
and Monte Irwin were lost to the
team, and all that rot. But we did
have Joe Black, Campy, Jackie,
Shuba and all the rest.
We know our pitching amt
comparable to the Yanks, but we'll
start Black, let Black relieve him
self or just roll the ball to 'em
strategy 'em to death, let the Bat
Boy pitch or Dresser pinch hit
now and then, cause we are 60
ing to bring the championship
to Ebbetts Field when we are
through.
It's a shame, though that the
Phillies had to be a National
League team. That's the team
which broke the Giant back-er,
we remember too, that this same
Fizz Kid team was the the n e
which ruined us last year. But,
don't feel so broken up kids, there
are many if Willie pennants to be
won and if Willie is back and
Monte doesn't break a leg you
may be runners up again!

Chef MiIIer's 14OM MPH
Is Unofficial Mark
BY the Associated Press

INDIANAPOLIS, May 22.-Chet
Miller and his Novi V-8 Pure Oil
Special have proved that 140 miles
an hour can be done at the In
dianapolis Motor Speedway, but
their record isn't official.
One-forty has been a drivers
dream at the speedway for years.
Miller, at 40, the oldest active
driver at the track, hit 140.187 on
IA practice lap yesterday. He'll
have to do it again in a qualifica-
Ition run or the 5O0-mile race it
self to get an official record,
though.
His feat actually was more diff
cult because it was just a prac-
tice run. He had to pass three
other cars, whereas for a qualifi-
cation try he would have the track
to himself.
The official one-lap record is
139.0l0 miles an hour, set last
Saturday by Freddie Agabashian
Iof Albany, Calf, in qualifying the
ICummins Diesel Special.
Seven cars qualified for the May
30 race last Saturday. but rain
prevented any qualifications Sun
day. Additional qualification days
to fill the 33-car field for the
race are set for Saturday and
