City In Full Support of Ambulance Corps

That the City is in full sup port of the Volunteer Ambulance Corps was evidenced Monday when the Council agreed to give the newly formed organization use of building and lot to house the vehicle.
 The request was made on be- half of the Corps by Jack Kelly and Jim Kirkpatrick They also asked that the present insurance coverage of the vehicle, now in cluded in the fleet insurance coverage of the City, be contin- ued until the policy runs out. After that the Ambulance Corps expects to be able to finance itself, but it was suggested that the service be maintained as a city department, similar to the volunteer fire department agree ment.
 Council members agreed to all suggestions put by Kirkpatrick, thus showing their deep interest in the project.

ABOUT SOCIAL SECURITY
WEAVER SAYS

Some people are not required
to have worked under Social Sc
curity to be insured under the
Old Age and Survivors Insurance
program. I'm sure some of you
will say - THAT amt what that
guy Weaver told mel" And you'll
be right.
The only such people, however,
are service men who served in
the armed forces of the United
States after September z, 1889.
AS an example have in mind
a sergeant in the Marine Corps.
He had served almost IS years
in the Marines and had never
had a Social Security card or
worked in civilian employment a
day after January /, 1887 when
the act first became effective.
I'm certain most of you read
about the case in the Miami
papers when he was killed in an
automobile accident. He left
wife and children aged from
twins one day old to IL years of
age. This family group will re-
ceive monthly benefits amount
ing to $128.00 for 10 years, pro-
viding the widow does not re-
marry. This will mean that they
will receive a total Of $27, 648.
Now that's a lot of money. But
what will happen should the wild
ow go to work, marry or die?
That, I'm happy TO say, would
make no difference, from a fl
nancial standpoint. The benefits
would be paid to the guardian or
whoever had custody of the child
rem for their exclusive use and
benefit.
