ously donated. Cleaning and

determines whether or not you
are insured at the time of your
retirement or death.
The TIME when you retire
at age IS or later and make a
claim for monthly benefits is
equally important. This is be-
cause the date of entitlement
affects the benefit rate of pay
ments to you and your family.
A variation of several dollars
g. month in benefit rates may
occur if a claim is made, for
example, on June 80 instead of
July /, or vice versa. If it should
happen that a claim made on
July l should have been made
the day before, nothing can be
done to correct the disadyen-
tage.
In case of the death of the
insured breadwinner, the total
of benefits payable to the sur
vivors depends on the time the
claim is made. A delay can cost
each entitled member Of the
family one or more months of
insurance payments. This l. be-
cause back payments can be
made for only six months from
the time claim is made.
Here are two timely remind
ers: ID The insured worker
should contact the Social Sc
curity Office the first month
after he reaches age 65 when
he fails to earn over SIS. (2)
When an insured worker dies,
his survivors, or whoever pays
the funeral bill Off no close re-
latives survive), should contact
the Social Security office inn
mediately.

BLUE EAGLE NEWS
By BARBER SHOE CHORD

! OWueT jackson was greatly
elated at last Mondays U. S..
Supreme Court decision of
equality for children in the
public schools of the old
South. Your columnist's predic-
ton of the high court urging
a gradual transition almost
made the grade of what was
finally prescribed. Grave posi-
bilities and tensions hang in a
balance for respective states to
solve a problem onwhich the
Federal Constitution as amend
ed has never been exactly clear.
The unanimous decision of the
high court decidedly hedged on
how the respective states can
integrate and the time it will
take to do so. Further argu-
1nents in conformity with this
plan have been ordered, so
that public school systems can
make adjustments in view of
present status and organiza-
ton. AStute legal minds of the
nation agree that a gradual
transition will be the only way
to accomplish what the high
court has demanded States,
counties, cities and towns of
the solid South must be given
a chance to rearrange their
taxation systems in order to
conform with this complex de-
cision that has haunted them
in the last decade. Leaders of
the Jurisdictions did not clear
ly understand what confronted
them during initial moves of
lower courts to make racial
equality in public schools a
reality. They were busily en-
gagged in augmenting their con-
ceptions of racial hatreds be-
fore and after the Civil War,
the terrible Reconstruction era
and the horrible period of pub
lie lynchings of mostly Black
men up to W.W.I. When they
did come to their senses to
meet these issues on a plane
OF humanity, it was too late.
because public opinion in a
large measure had taken the
place OF racial brutality A wave
OF Federal intervention DELHI
erately changed the solid South
into a humane area of fair
play for all races. Public school
systems racial equality was the
first arrow that directly point
ed to consumation of an over
due change to displace over
Whelming white supremacy. We
do not deny that leaders of the
solid South had their racial
antipithies handed down to
them from their forefathers.
They would not accept any
Christian beliefs from other
sections of the nation that
their racial animosities would
some day become outmoded.
The U. S. Supreme Court has
made several states Of the solid
South, including the District of
Columbia, sit up and take no
tice that America is a land
of the free, and home of the
brave" The ways of our trans
greSsors have been hard. We
hope that they realize that the
turning point to humanity has
been reached. More next week
