S. S. CLAIMS UP
IN DELAWARE
Claims For Old Age Insurance
More Than Double During
July in State
NEW LAW CITED

More than double the usual num-
ber of Delaware residents filed
their claims for old age insurance
payments during July, according
to Myron Milbouer, manager of the
Wilmington office of the Social Sc
curity Administration.
Mr.. Milbouer credits the sharp
rise to the fact that a number of
people now applying for old-age in
surance have completed year and
a half of work after 1850. This,
he explains, makes it possible for
them to have their benefits figured
under the new formula which can
be used only when a person has
one and a half years of covered
work after 1850. In most cases,
the use of this formula gives a
higher monthly benefit to a retired
worker than would be possible if
his earnings before 1851 were used
in figuring his average monthly
Smyrna times., 1952-08-07

wage. The local manager antici-
pates a further increase in the
number of 65-year-old applicants,
because of a new provision in the
law which permits those who retire
this year to have recent wages inn
mediately in figuring the amount
of their benefit payments. If they
have one and half years of work
covered by the law after 1850, it
is no longer necessary for those re-
tiring in 1852 to come back six
months later in order to have such
wages included in the computation
of their benefit amount. Another
provision of the amended law, Mil
bouer points out, is of special i'm
portance to self-employed people
over 65 who retired or who plan to
retire this year. Before the pass
age of the amendments their earn
ings for the year in which the ap-
plication was fled could not be
used to figure their old-age benefit
payments. Now, a self-employed

ware are making plans for cooper
ative study of their professional
problems for the year 1952-53. The
University of Delaware and the
State Department of Public In
struction are collaborating in the
studies. The Delaware School
Study Council was organized dur
ing the past school year when the
University of Delaware engaged
DR.. Matthew j. Pillard to direct
activities in school administration
here. The twenty-seven partici-
pating school systems of Delaware
are engaged in three separate stu
dies. On study concerns the prob
lens of finance, another deals with
school buildings, while a third
group is making an analysis of the
school administrators functions.
! The executive board of the study
council has planned for general
meeting to be held in September
when the program will be further
developed by the members. On the
executive board are Albert w.
Adams, principal of the John M.
Clayton School, David M. Green,
superintendent of the Dover
schools, John A. Taliaferro, primo
ipal of the Absalom Jones School,

Mes Spotted Skunk

Spotted Skunks, like their strip
ed cousins, have an unpleasant way
of defending themselves against at
tackers. But so long as they are
not aroused, the spotted fellows
probably do more good than harm.
The National Wildlife Federation
reports that they perform valu-
able service by eating such de-
strnctive pests as grasshoppers,
crickets, beetles, mice, and rats.
To catch his prey, the Spotted
Skunk prowls only at night. "a
sure-footed hunter, he is quick to
pounce on his victims. and he can
go after them either on the ground
or in trees.
After a night of roaming, he
curls up and rests during the day.
light hours. His home may be in
almost any sheltered nook. Spot
ted Skunks have been found living
in the clefts of rocky lodges, in
hollow stums or logs, in holes
which they have dug in banks, in
old dens abandoned by other an
imals, and in natural caves.
In the out-of-the-way places
which they have chosen for their
homes, they raise their families.
Each spring there is a litter of
from two to ten young which are
cared for by the mother.
When the young grow up, they
are from eighteen to twenty-five
inches long, and their bushy tails
are seven or eight inches in length.
Their heads are small, their ears
tiny, and their legs short. Alto
gether they are smaller than their
striped cousins.
lie real identification mark of
the spotted Skunk, of course, is the
way ii which his glossy black coat
is & GRATED with white. He has
a w spot on his forehead and
Smyrna times., 1952-08-07

oblong white marks, or broken
stripes. on his back and upper
sides. His tail, too, may be mostly
white. All of his hair-white and
blacks long.
Besides insects, rats, and mice,
he eats small ground squirrels,
small birds and their eggs, lizards,
salamanders, crawfish, mushrooms,
and small fruits. There is no proof
that he takes enough birds or fruit
to be a serious menace.
The only crime of which he is
accused is carrying hydrophobia,
and in some parts of the country
he is known and feared as the
Hydrophobia Skunk. But the truth
is that experts disagree on whether
he really deserves this name and
reputation. While he may carry
rabies. it is likely that the chances
of being bitten by a mad Spotted
Skunk are less than the chances of
being attacked by a mad dog.
Whether you want to see or
avoid Spotted Skunks, you may
find it useful to know that there
are about thirteen varieties Of
them. According to the National
Wildlife Federation, they live in
nearly all parts of the country, but
are more plentiful in the west than
the east.
Smyrna times., 1952-08-07

person who applies for and receives
old-age benefits this year may re-
apply after the close of his taxable
year and have his 1852 earnings in
cluded in refiguring their monthly
benefits. In general, this viii mean
that benefits payable on the ac-
count of a self-employed person
who retires this year will be larger
than as originally computed. An
other new provision in the law is
important to benefciaries who
have continued working after
reaching age rs. If they have had
year and a half of work covered
by the law after 1850. their benefits
can be refigured under the new for
mula, Mr.. Milbouer stated.

What Does the
School Expect of
the Girl Scout
Council
BY Charles H. Smith, Rural
Supervisor of Schools, Kent
County, Del.


County, Del.
The school recognizes the Girl
Scout Council as one of the great
socializing agencies of our demo-
cratic composition. 1t realizes
that in addition to the broadening
experiences in the fields of history
and science and language, that
there is an area of living that de-
pends largely upon stable human
relationship and self-expression. 1t
recognizes that there is moral
and spiritual side of living that as
an institutional governed by statue
it may deal with in but a limited
manner. The school needs the aid
of agencies that are dedicated to
the development of the attributes
of character and spirit beyond
those of mere academic training.
To quote, man cannot live by
bread alone. Neither can a Girl
Scout. She needs the leadership of
quality and devotion that will in
spire her to reach for the finest
in life and to guide her in the
paths that lead to integrated Sc
curity. 1t is in this field that
scouting renders aserv ice that no
other agency is prepared or per-
mitted to offer.
The school needs scouting. 1t
needs it because it recognizes that
scouting as an active force helps
to round out the development of
the girl. 1t knows that through
efficient leadership that the girl is
brought the fullest realization of
her capacities. 1t senses that the
volunteer leader who becomes a
friend to the girl is in a different
and sometimes a better position, to
aid the individual than any one else
in the social program.
1t is regrettable that thousands
of girls in our great America have
never had the benefits and values
that accrue from the Girl Scout
program. The school would like tt
see as a result of a Girl Scout
Council the extension of these priv
ileges to all girls of all places and
creeds and nationalities. I never
knew a community that wasn't {
better place to live because a Cir
Scout Council had exerted it's in
fiuence for finer girl training ant
development. The hope of tn
world reposes in its youth. Their
is no finer organization devoted t,
the realization and development o
this thought than the Girl Scou
Council. The school needs the al,
that the council can render. TIL
Council can do many of the desir
able things that the school is re
strained from doing. Cooperation
of all agencies can win the battl
of today and make tomorrow bet
ter day in which to live.

While we feel that neither Manager King the

The family shopper finds the

The price of coal, coke and fuel
oil is higher in many places. And
John L. Lewis negotiations with
the coal mine owners seems to
forecast further rise in the price

All of these things add up, little

Wish there was something that

their connections on the water line.
Installation of pumps and the use
of abandoned cisterns seems to be-
about the only solution.

HOLLYWOOD R-Ever have one
of those days when everything goes
wrong?
had one this week. | should
have realized the portent when the
fan belt on the family transport
snapped on the way to the office.
Lots of other things happened, too.
The copy boy was in a foul mood
and growled at me. Two promis-
ing interviews were Cancelled. And
the house payment check was due.
I should have known enough to
60 home to bed. But the necessi-
ties of a daily column would not
allow, so I toured a couple of
studios. Nothing. Roy Rogers had
gone for the day, and Trigger
didn't want to be quoted. Marilyn
Monroe was reported out playing
catch with Joe DiMaggio. BY some
fancy footwork, ! was able to elude
Shelley Winters.
But I had an ace In the hole.
It was a telegram which claimed
to be a passport to Heaven"
Some department store was toss
ing "the most unique fantastic
mems fashion show ever present
ed" Although ungrammatical, it
sounded promising. l had always
thought that male fashion show
would be good for a column some
day.
So I trundled to the swank eat
cry and drinkery where the event
was taking place. The hors
d'oeuvres were wonderful. The
fashion show was a dud.
/ was expecting to learn the an
swers to all the urgent male fash
ion issues. Is the belt-in-the-back
coat returning? Il saved one of
mine, just in case.) Can you wear
a Tartan plaid to the opera open
ing? What is happening to spats?
The fashion show turned out to
be a promotion for new kinds of
material. You know-those suits
you can put in the washer and
ties that shed gravy like a duck
dripS water.
At this fashion show an
agency displayed all these items,
from shorts to overcoats, while
man from the store extolled their
virtues (The clothes, not the mod
els). I listened carefully, pencil
poised, for items of significance.
About the only thing ! garnered
was that "Small-checked shirts are
the vogue this year."
Then John Agar and Marshall
Thompson, who were described as
movie stars, modelled suits of some
amazing new fibre. They didn't
take them off and put them in the
washer, as the announcer suggest
ed they could. But they turned
around and showed that the coats
were slit up the back.
The announcer seemed proud of
the fact, and that's about the only
significance / could get out of the
whole affair. / guess the coat slit
has returned. Now if I could only
get them to revive the belt in the
back.
