Social Security
Cites Figures

Surprising as it may seem to
younger workers, people don't auto
matically retire for keeps when
they reach age 65, it was pointed
out today by Myron Milbouer, man
ager of the Wilmington social Sc
curity Office.
Citing figures turned in to the
Federal Old-Age and Survivors In
surance system, Milbouer stated
that nearly 8 million elderly peo-
pie are still working regularly.
Practically all Of the group would
be Immediately eligible for MONTH
ly retirement income if their earn
ings dropped to SIS a month in COW
cred employment.
Ill health, social security records
show, is the major cause for re-
tirement. Less than five percent Of
the 65 year olds in good health
quit voluntarily. Most of those in
good physical condition continue to
work. contributing an estimated
IL billion dollars annually to the
national income.
Even if the 65th birthday isn't
an occasion for retirement, the To-
cal manager concluded, it is still
the proper time for a worker to
check on his Old-age insurance
rights under social security.

First In A Civil
Defense Series
b. D. PRESTON LEE
Stuse Director Of Civil Defense

9NNA0 .AsNNNNA
Among veteran Civil Defense
workers, there is an old adage: An
enemy attack will leave two kinds
of people alive; those who need
help and those who can help.
Like it or not, we all are in
Civil Defense. The only question
is: do we know or are we trying
to learn our job?
In Delaware, individual respon-
sibility is the heart of the CD or
ganization. The state CD office was
created by the legislature in 1851.
The state director, whose powers
stem directly from the governor,
is charged with carrying out the
states CD program.
But-and this is little understood
the state director cannot set
about naming county and city di-
rectors to work under him. He has
no authority to do that. Similarly,
he and his staff have no authority
to organize local CD warden, fire.
fighting or emergency rescue crews.
This is up to each of the states
political NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS., city
or county-and its governing body.
Under Delaware's CD law, each
town, city or county is legally re-
quired to set up its own CD or
ganization.
But the effectiveness of that local
defense depends in large part on
the attitude of the officials and
their citizens. The law says only
that each community MAY apprO-
pirate and expend funds, MAY ap-
point a director, MAY appoint
without compensation block war
dens, rescue teams, auxiliary fire
and police personnel and other civ
| IL defense workers.
Thus, the issue of whether Del
aware is to defend itself in an enc
my attack is, to a great extent. left
up to the community and it's citi-
zens. This lOcalizatiOn of CD au-
thority is in the American tradi-
ton. 1t means that the individual
citizen must encourage and helm
his local government to prepare
Once local officials realize that
their citizens want and are ready
to support CD, financially and with
volunteer workers, they will know
what steps to take.
And once county and local CD
groups organize effectively, the
state CD office is ready with
plans, advice and equipment. The
state office, which can draw con-
siderably on federal assistance. is
prepared to knit county CD Organi-
cations into a statewide operation
al unit that can work with other
states and the federal Civil De-
fense.
At the state level, CD is organ
lied, in large part, around existing
agencies-the highway, welfare
school, police and health depart.
ments-all of which are readyine
plans for defense in an emergency
But, to be effective, CD mus
reach down to the neighborhoof
and the neutrality-suspicious..
One thing is certain. Bombs car
and well may-fall on Delaware
When that happens, everyone o.
us will be a civil defender. Each o.
us should be ready to protect our.
self and help restore order.
1t may never happen again-bu
al the very least you and your chill
dren and your grandchildren ar,
