play rounds in the title flight are
from scratch.
There was no scoring yesterday
to compare with the medal-win-

in the qualifying round. The tee
markers were pushed back and
best ball scores of two or three
over par generally were good
enough to win.

Thorpe and McInerney had the

They won by 4 and 3 and by S

Professional golf has lost one Of
its Strongholds in the announce
ment that there will not be a
50th renewal Of the North-South
Open Championship next fall in
Pinehurt, N. c.
An announcement from Dick
Tufts states that a North-South
senior match play tournament will
take the dates Of the North-South
Open. and the latter event will
permanently be discontinued.
Tufts lengthy announcement
gives sound reasons for dropping
the tournament, but 1t must be
remembered that after Pinehurst
played host to both the American
and British Ryder Cup teams last
fall, only one member Of the 10
man American team finished the
49th North-South Open that i'm
mediately followed the Ryder
Cup matches.
Pinehurst has not met the mini

tournaments in recent years, put
ting up $500 instead of the $10.-
900 winter tournament minimum.
For this reason it has ceased to be
PGA sponsored. However many of

ABOUT SOCIAL SECURITY
WEAVER SAYS

An acquaintance of mine, an
Insurance Agent, who was well
versed in life insurance, includ-
ing Social Security, died a
couple of years ago. He. left his
widow and two minor children a
fair amount of life insurance
payable, of all things, in lump
sum. Result? She had $4,000
cash handed her - but no reg
ular monthly income on which
she could rely for their day-to-
day living.
Some people think $4,000 is a
lot of money and it is. But just
to pay off the last illness and
funeral bills and see how much
there is left - on which to exist
from here on out. Suppose, for
instance, that they cut their costs
of living to the bone. An adult
and two little tots can't possibly
get along on less than $100 a
month. That means that this nest
egg will only last for 7 or 8 years
if they're lucky. If they're not
- it will last them only few.
This man, like lot of others
1 know, had probably talked SO
much to other people about life
insurance, monthly benefits for
widow, and Social Security that
he was talked out when he got
home. A little over year after
his death some good samaritan
asked the widow if she had COL
lected anything from Social Sc
curity. She said: "Why no! l
never heard Roscoe say anything
about that. I don't know whether
he had that kind of a policy or
not!"
Investigation showed that he
was fully insured at the time Of
his death and that his widow and
children were. entitled to monthly
benefits. Because they had not
filed until nearly two years after
his death, they had lost a year
and a half of benefit payments.
We could only make the pay
ments begin 6 months prior to the
filing of her claim This little
family group received lump
sum of $2O5.5O and a check for
1922 covering the, 6 months of
retroactive payments. Each month
from then on the mother will re-
ceive a check for $137 for herself
and children. These checks will
continue until the oldest child
becomes 18 and in a lesser amount
from then until the youngest
becomes that age.
If you ever saw a happy wo-
man you should have seen this
widow!
In every death case inquiry
should be made at the nearest
Social Security office by the
mex. of kin or whomever paid the
