Should File Social
Security Claim Soon

A considerable NUMBER of
widows. young children, and aged
parents of working people who
died between June 1910 and Sep
TENDER 1850 have failed to claim
the monthly benefits payable to
them under a 1854 change in the
social security law announced
James f. Robertson. manager of
the Cumberland social security of
flee. Those who do not apply for
their benefits before October l, he
pointed out, will not be able to re-
ceive benefits for all the months
back to September 1854 the effec-
tive date of the new provision in the
law
Under this provision, it is now
possible to pay monthly social Sc
curity benefits to the qualified sur
vivors of workers who died between
June 1910 and September 1850 if
the deceased wage Garner had
credit for as little as a year and a
half of work under social security
The families of many of these work
ers applied for benefits at the time
of the family breadWinner's death
Mr.. Robertson said. but were told
that they could not receive pay
ments because under the law, as it
then stood. the worker had not
earned enough social security
credit to provide survivors bene-
fits for his family
Where a claim for social security
benefits is filed within u months Of
the time a beneficiary is first eligi-
bic, his payments can be made to
him retroactively for the whole
period. Mr.. Robertson pointed out.
But if a claim is delayed for more
than u months. benefits for some
months will be lost. He therefore
urged the survivors of workers who
died between June 1910 and Sep
TENDER 1850 to get in touch with
their nearest social security offices
before October l. 1855 Qualified
claimants who apply before that
date can be paid benefits back to
September 1854
Monthly benefits under this pro-
vision may be paid to the aged
widows of such workers who at the
time of death had worked on jobs
under social security for at least a
year and half-to surviving chill
dren under IS years of age, and to
their mothers. Where no widow or
children survived the worker, pay
ments can be made to his aged par
ents if he was providing their sup
port

RANGE: Originally a native OF
Asia, transplanted to Europe, and
in 1877 brought to the United
States; sometimes called German
carp. A variety is called mirror
carp" 1t is found in every part
of Maryland in fresh and slightly
brackish waters.
DESCRIPTION: Color varies; no
teeth in mouth but grinders in
throat; there are two barbels or
whiskers on each side of the mouth;
average weight l to 6 pounds,
maximum probably fifty pounds.
BREEDING: Spawns in spring in
shallow waters; after eggs are de-
posted and fortified the parents
leave; are very prolific; a 20 pound
female carp will yield about 100000
eggs.
HABITS: Roots in bottom for
aquatic plants and tender roots;
muddies the water and in so doing

is injurious to other life; prefers
slow, warm waters with muddy
bottom.
MANAGEMENT: Little if any
management is required, increases
rapidly even under unfavorable
conditions, and is considered a
nuisance and a predator in some
waters; its eradication is difficult;
it completes with wild waterfowl
for food; is edible, hardy; in dry
seasons both the fish and eggs seem
to survive for long periods in wet
mud.
VALUE: Not in great demand as
a food, but is in demand in certain
sections among certain people;
hence there is a ready market,
especially when delivered alive, but
prices are lower than more desir-
able species. Provides some sport
with rod, hook and line, for while
shy bitter, it is a powerful fish
and fights hard when hooked.

A WORD

BY MRS. FRANK COLBY

Q. Here Is . sentence that has
all Of W stunped--teacher and
students alike: Neither John
nor Mary knew lhis? her?
ItheirD own mind" Can you
!straighten this out for us?
A. Neither nor should be
followed by q singular verb and
10 singular pronoun; therefore
their own mind" Is obvi-
ously incorrect. Also "his" can
not refer to both John and
Mary: neither can ''her."
The only solution lies in re-
casting the sentence thus: John
and Mary did not know their
own minds.
Here are similar errors taken
from actual books and publica-
tions:

be: Z" q. his lot in life"
"A difference Of opinion which
leaves each free to act according
to their own feelings" Should

OUR PRESIDENTS

first Vice President to become
President. Who?
Who was President when

dent?
ANSWERS on Next Page.)
Evening star., 1955-10-31

This dubious honor. as you
may have guessed. fell to. Mr.
Muzzy. And Mr.. Abel finally
stumbled home with 10 tricks.
The opening lead was the
queen Of diamonds and Mr.. Abel
won in his own hand with the
king. A small heart was led and
Mr.. Mlzzy fiew in with the ace
as If he were afraid Of losing it.
He returned the jack of dia-
monds. which was captured by
dummy's ace.
After laying down the king Of
hearts and clearing the trumps.
Mr.. Abel stopped to think q
moment. He had lost one trick.
he was sure to lose q diamond.
and II he led spades himself It
was q mortal cinch that he would
lose two tricks there.
How good " would be. he
thought, to have his left-hand
opponent lead spades. In that
case he was bound TO win O.
trick with his king.
Now MFR. Abel knows all about
throw-in plays. He knows that
all safe return cards should be
stripped from an opponents
hand before that opponent Isl
presented with the lead. He had
already stripped Mr.. Muzzy's
hand of hearts. Next he planned
to strip the clubs. Then he
would throw Mr.. Muzzy in with a I
diamond lead.
As you see, this plan was fool
proof. Holding the lone ten Of
diamonds at this point. Mr..
Muzzy would be powerless to get
out Of the way.
But Mr.. Abel went too far. He
cashed the king Of clubs. then
led to the ace and saw Mr..
Muzzy's ten drop. II he had
stopped here. Mr.. Muzzy would
have been fixed by a diamond
lead. However. he failed to see
the danger in his next play
which was to lead q third round
Of clubs. This gave Mr.. Muzzy
o golden opportunity to get of
the hook.
He had no more clubs, SO sifI
he had to do was to discard hts
ten of diamonds. Then a dia-
mond lead would be won by Mr..
Meek and he could return al
spade through the king.
Mr.. Muzzy mutfed it. too. OnI
the third club he made the bril-
liant discard Of the ten OF spades,
telling his partner he wanted
that suit led. tQuestion: How
did he think partner could pos
sihly get in?)
Following this welter of errors
Mr.. Abel finally led . diamond |
and Mr.. Muzzy was end-played |
and had to lead from his spade |

WITHHOLDING TAX Bill.
PASSES LOWER HOUSE

HB LA by Crist (R-Yellowstonel
passed the House the middle of the
week and is now in the Senate. Rep.
Crist estimates that his bill, if en-
acted, will bring in an additional one
million dollars revenue to the state.
Under HB IA employers will de-
duct from employees pay envelopes
the amount of tax, based on income
tax tables very similar to those used
in computing federal income tax de-
auctions.
The Crist bill does not contain any
provision for self-employed persons
filing estimates of annual income.
However, he points out that because
of a provision in HB LA leveying
SO per cent penalty on the self-em-
ployed who do not pay their taxes
within so days of the time due, he
is sure the self-employed will be
hesitant to attempt evade paying
their state income tax. The Board
of Equalization will only have to
make "few examples" of some self
employed laggards, and widely pub
licize same, he contends, to bring
home to all business and professional
the wisdom of paying their taxes on
time and in full.
