think of Christmas we think Of
gifts. food and pleasure.
There's not much doubt that
we have lost the real significance
of the holidays We celebrate.
Thanksgiving should make us
first stop and think of the many
blessings bestowed upon us.
Easter should first make us think
of the resurrection of Christ
And certainly we should first
think of Christ's birthday on
Christmas.
But there is this much gained
from Easter. Usually the church.

Mr.. Boehringer went on to say
that other benefits in the new law
provide for increases in the month
ly benefits of workers retiring in
the future. A revised method of
figuring payments together with
an increase in the annual amount
of taxable wages to $4,200.00 will
permit higher payments. How
ever, the increase under the new
formula to individuals retiring in
the future is not effective until
1856.
In concluding, Mr.. Boehringer
noted that nearly 10 million more
workers and self-employed indi-
viduals will be brought in under
social security for the first time
in 1855. These include domestics,
farm workers, state and local
government workers, federal gov
ernment employees, and American
citizens working outside the United
States. Among the self-en1ployed,
farmers, clergymen, accountants,
architects, engineers, and funeral
directors will be protected under
the amended law.

Wide Range In Interests
MARKS Year Ahead for
League Of Women Voters

What effect will rapid transit
have on East Cleveland's city
planning? How much do we know,
as citizens, about our East Cleve-
land schools? What form should
the state board of education,
which was approved by the voters
at the last election, take? How can
we support U. S. trade policies
which will help solve national and
international economic problems
These are some of the questions
that members of the League of
Women Voters of East Cleveland
will try to answer this year.
Under the presidency of Mrs.
Stuart Cummins, the League board
completed plans at the first fall
meeting yesterday, for assigning
chairmen in each area of respon-
sibility.
Mrs. John Wachter, first vice
president, will lead the work on
the state level, with Mrs. Philip
Saunders assisting on the study
of the State Board of Education.
U. S. Trade Policies, and the
second item of work on the ma
tional program, the development
of understanding of the relation
ship between individual liberty and
the public interest, will be in the
hands of Mrs. Hamilton Beatty,

agenda chairman.
Work on the local level will be
divided three ways, with Mrs. Nor

of the effect of rapid transit on
East Cleveland; Mrs. Raymond

League work, and one which is
far-reaching, is the Voters Service
program, as part of which ma
terial on candidates is prepared
and distributed throughout the
city. Mrs. Glenn Kitson has been
working with the representatives
of other Leagues in the county
on the preparation of this mater
ial, and will again be in charge
of this phase of League work in
East Cleveland.
No organization can operate
without finances, and past presi-
dent, Mrs. John Watson has agreed
to chair this vital part of the
League work. While all finance
drives will be at the same time,
September Is to 20, each League
will conduct its own drive. Local
plans have kept Mrs. Watson busy
through the hot months.
Mrs. J. j. Smith, membership
chairman is currently making plans
for a series Of teas during early
October. Also actively working to
develop understanding of the
League are Mrs. Charles Cooper,
Publications chairman, and Mrs.

Two Pay Days Each
Month"; Hearafter

Sergeant Surnak, local Air
Force Recruiter, has revealed that
Air Force military personnel will
soon be in for two pay calls each
month, according to a recent an
nouncement by Secretary of the
Air Force, Harold E. Talbot.
The new pay procedure, which
will place payday on the 5th and
the goth of each month, is sched-
uled to become effective in October
1854 on a six-months trial basis.
"Air Force officials" Sergeant
Surnak stated, "anticipate that
paying twice a month will reduce
the necessity of many airmen to
seek small personal loans to meet
expenses between monthly pay
days"
Under the new system all en-
listed personnel will be paid twice
monthly and officers will be able
to elect whether they wish to be
paid once or twice each month.
Those officers choosing to receive
their pay once a month will be
paid on the 5th day of the follow
ing month.
"This is still another example
of the Air Forces sincere beside
to offer our young men and wO-
men the finest career pol y
Sergeant Surnak emphasized. "The
Air Force is continually mouify4ng
itself to improve the living and
working conditions for its per-
sonnet"
The Air Force recruiting SER
geant, who has his office at TAT
East 152nd ST., encourages anyone
interested in a career with the
worlds finest Air Force to con-
tact him for full particulars. He
is on duty each weekday from 9
a. m. to 4:30 p. m. and Saturdays
from 9 a. m. till noon to assist
anyone interested in the oppor-
tunities offered by the United
States Air Force.

It Can Be Wished In Many Languages
Happy New Yearin

Happy New Year!"
 As the year 1855 rolls westward from the Admiralty's date line, these words will ring out in many languages.
 Should you be in gay Paree, the greeting you'd hear would be "Bonne Annee!" Down in sunny Italy, they say "Buon Capo d'Anne!" which doesn't sound too different. In Spain. it's "Feliz Ano Nuevo!"
 If you have relatives or friends in Germany, they may write, Fin Glueckliches Neues Jahr." If so, they wish you a Happy New Year The Swedish and Morse greetings are different from the ones above, although they are almost the same. The SWedes say, Got Nytt Ar, :" and the Morse "Godt Nytt Aar.'
 Any way you hear it, though, it seems the same. The three words mean not only Happy New Year, but imply best wishes for all the days ahead

Emergency Food Supply Recommended By GivI Defense

It would be good business for every family in Alaska to have an emergency supply of food to live on if supplies were cut off. This statement was made some time ago by the Department of Civil Defense, and again emphas- ized at the CD meeting recently held in Palmer. In cities where supplies come in, frequently and regularly, and where the people are almost totally dependent on these supplies, as in this locality, it would be good business to build up an emergency 30-day supply, CD officials stated
 Conditions are so different among the cities, towns and will lages in Alaska that all that can be done is to make an outline which can be used as a check list and general guide by families that will try to provide some- thing for themselves for emergen- cies. If person is sitting in an apartment and his living is un- interrupted except that he is short of food, a recommended list would be quite simple. In an en- ergency however normal living, whether as known in a city, town or village, might be severely up set. For this reason the outline takes into account the possibility that people might have to leave their homes and live for time under extreme emergency condi- tionS.
 Lydia Fohn-Hansen, associate directors for Extension Home De- monstration work, has prepared the following specific list of foods for an emergency supply for family of four for one week. This will supply about 288O cal ories a day per person. For q long time it would be possible to get along with less than two-thirds this much but it would not be good for health and you would get pretty hungry, she said.
