opinion concerning our schools
Richland county Representatives
are seeking the opinions of indi-
viduals in answer to four cues
tons:

complish?

enough competent teachers?

our school building, equipment

needs, and how?
Anyone reading this who has
ideas concerning any of the oues-
tons is urged to write these out:
sign or leave answers unsigned

Disability Social
Security Freeze
Vital Provision

seriously disabled people who
used to work in employment or
self-employment covered by the
social security law should get in
touch with the social security Of

cial security district manager, an
nounced today.
Gardner pointed out that people
who have been totally disabled for
6 months or longer, and who
worked in employment or self
employment covered by the social
security law for as MANY as 5
years out of the 10 years before
they were disabled should get fur
Their information about this law.
Active military service and en-
ployment in the railroad Industry
may count toward the needed
amount of work. By applying to
have their social security earnings
records frozen, disabled people
may prevent loss or reduction of
future benefits.
Some people now receiving old
age insurance payments or who
will become eligible for old age
payments in July were disabled
for long periods before they reach
ed age 65 and are still disabled.
They may start getting larger
payments as of July and get them
more promptly if they file an D
plication for a disability freeze"
by June 80. If the disabled person
dies after June 80, the disability
freeze can protect his family's
rights to survivors payments but
only if he had applied for it be-
fore death. For this reason, it is
important for every person who
meets the requirements for the
freeze" to apply for it by June 80.
Gardner emphasized that the law
protects the social security rights
of a worker who is suffering from
prolonged total disability but does
not pay cash benefits to him be-
fore he is IS.

Jim Brennan
Visits Over
Week End Here

jim Brennan stopped in Sidney
several days over the week END
returning to Helena from Tucson
Arizona, where he and Mrs. Bren-
nan spent the winter, to visit his
many Sidney and valley friends.
Mr.. Brennan, the older people
here know, was a prime factor in
the early settlement of this irri
cation project, bringing some of
It's best and since most prosper
Gus farmers in from Colorado and
other irrigation areas to settle and
make it the thriving diversified
farming project it has come to be.
Mrs. Brennan stopped at Glen
dive to visit their son-in-law and
daughter, the Kenneth Harstads
and family and spend a few DAYS
IN the hospital there for medical
attention, while Mr.. Brennan was
here. They spent five months at
Tucson and found the winter eli
mate ideal and the opportunity
for Mr.. Brennan to keep his hand
In the real estate business which
has been his main forte through
the more than half a century he
has been at it for long periods
when he wasn't engaged in politi-
cal pursuits or occupations.
jim cut his eye teeth in the
business over in North Dakota
where in 1856 he brought
hundreds of people into north cen
trail North Dakota from Iowa and
other states to buy farm lands
and settle, in connection with his
banking connection at Antler. Lat
er coming to Richland county
where he was head of a bank at
Savage for a number of years, he
brought experienced irrigation
farmers into this valley with like
success. During all these years he
was one of the outstanding
farm equipment and livestock
auctloneers of any locality
where he wished to hans
out his single. He was represen-
tative in the state legislature two
terms, 1889 and Al, from Richland
county and was with the Montana
state unemployment service for
many years after that. He was
identified with some lasting and
important legislation during the
two sessions.
Since 1949, MI. Brennan has
been engaged in the real estate
business in Helena, and after two
weeks of rest in Tucson, became
associated with a leading agency
to almost Immediately turn one of
the biggest ranch and farm sales
IN recent years there. This was
the Tucson Rincon Stock farm
which he sold for $150,O0O, launch
ing him into the business for fair
with numerous sales following.
However, the Tucson summer eli
mate is not for a cold-bIooded
northerner, so he has effected the
very satisfying arrangement of
spending the colder months Of
the year up here down there, and
the extremely warm months
down there at their home in Hele-
ma, to resume with each change
his real estate activities. Well past
the three-score and ten mark, MI.
Brennan was looking as fine as he
declared he felt, and his many
friends here were happy to have
him with them for this visit.
