! urV1VOrS OF those VINO mad cleo.
! One Of the changes in the law
made it possible for the first
time for the survivors of some
workers who died after 1889 and
before September 1850 to qualify
for payments.
Beginning in September 1854
the amendments permit the
dropping out" of up to years
of lowest earnings in figuring
the workers average monthly
wage. This has the effect of in
creasing the average earnings,
from which the monthly pay
ments are figured.
Other improvements in the law
did not go into effect until the
first day of 1855; although these
changes had not affected the
payments that were being made
at the end of 1854, they will
contribute to further increases in
the total amount of benefits pay
able in Noble county during this
year. Among the amendments
that went into effect on the
first of the year, one changes the
rules for receiving payments
while the beneficiary is working.
One extends coverage to many
kinds of work that did not count
toward social security benefits
before 1855, and another in
creases the maximum amount of
annual earnings creditable to-
ward benefits from $4,000 to
$4,000.
A major change made by the
1854 amendments was provision
of a method by which totally
disabled workers can protect
their future benefit rights by
freezing" their social security
wage records while they are dis
abled. This can increase the pay
ments now being made to many
people who are already IS but
were disabled for a considerable
period before they reached IS.
Of the workers receiving old
age insurance benefits in Noble
county at the end of the year, SO
had wives or husbands who were
entitled to payments as depend
ents. Benefits to wives and aged
dependent husbands amounted to
$2,218.00 per month.
Children made up a large
group of beneficiaries; 60 of them
were receiving 100000 in bene-
fits at the end Of the year. Most
of these were children of young
er workers who had died, but
some were children of retired
workers.
If their father has died and
children receiving benefits are
in the care of their mother, the
mother also receives benefits. Tn
Noble county II mothers recetv-
ed $4,000 per month Ut the end
Of 1854.
Money to pay these benefits
comes from the Old-Age and
Survivors Insurance Trust Fund,
which is built mp m social
security tax contributions Of
workers, their employers, and
self-employed people.

NOBLE TOWNSHIP - Here
we are Jim and u way out west
in Denver, Colo. Arrived at my
daughters (Mrs. John Mutu) on
Sunday evening, July 31st after
very nice trip through the cen
trail states. However l still pre-
fer Ohio as a place of perman-
ent residence.
This being our first trip west,
we expected a drastic change
everyway 7 suppp1a but so far
no cowboys or indians" a
sight seeeing trip scheduled for
Sunday will lake care Of that.
The conrt,y is vast, Just miles
and miles ana niles SO flat and
treeless (Which l don't Iike)
makes your eyes ache with the
sameness of it. One thing intrigu-
ed me, instead of our Ohio
variety in everything we went
through hundreds of acres cater
ing to one product - like in
Mo. was corn, corn corn in
Kansas milo, milo, milo Ga corn
like product very dwarf in size)
although | am sure the wheat
fields had been a thing of beauty
which we missed and haystacks
out here are round and stacked
by machinery.
Towns are few and far between
and gasoline the price of gold
(ask tourists).
Now I'll try to insert news
item or two that happened be-
fore we started on vacation.
Junior Bond and Barbara
Dennis were quietly married in
the Methodist church of Belle
Valley by Rev. William Foster
on Saturday evening, July %
attended by her sister and Jay
Miller. The happy couple left on
an extended trip to Niagara
Falls. Congratulations and best
wishes for everything good.
Club Met

club met at our home on Thurs
day, July %. An informal ses-
sion during the forenoon was

Fomiiy Reunions I'm Noble County !.

spoke of his trip to attend the
reunion by United Airlines and
his interesting experience Of
flying SO low over Ogden, Utah,
and Colorado Springs, Colo, as
to be able to identify the ceme-
teries in which two members of
the clan, Thomas j. and Morris
R. Cain, We're laid to their last
earthly rest. Claude also stated
that he could clearly see Overton
and Grand Island, Nebraska,
where Thomas j. and his sister,
Mary Cain Archer, spent some
years of their pioneering lives
all having their part in develop
ing our wonderful West. AS his
torian, Claude requested that
additional and corrective mater
Ial be forwarded to him through
the secretary of the reunion for
the 1856 supplementary pages to
the original Cain family history.
He stated that there are is
copies of this history still avail
able at actual cost of printing,
Sl.5O a copy. There will be no
more editions of the history only
supplemental pages each year as
submitted.
A. Wade Wells, of Newark,
presented to the reunion associa-
ton a life size oil portrait of an
early ancestor of the Cain fam
Ily: Mary Marquis Cain, wife of
William Cain, and mother of
James Cain. This painting was
made by Doris Conneborn of the
Chicago Art Institute from an
original picture loaned by Stella
Cain Parrish, of Carroll. 1t was
made prior to the Civil war and
retouched with quill pen with
stain made from walnut hulls.
Josephine Cain Wells, secre-
tary of the reunion, gave a Crap
hic description of a recent 5000
mile airplane trip with her hus-
band, Wade, to San Francisco,
Los Angeles, El Paso, New
Orleans and Nashville. A height
of five miles was reached. A
tornado struck the plane near
Dallas, Texas, adding a touch
of grim adventure which for
tunately ended without disaster
but added a live thrill to the
trip!
Due to the suddenness of the
summer thunder storm and early
exit of the gathering it was i'm
possible to complete the attend
ance list and each attendant is
earnestly requested to send a
postcard with name and present
address for next years mailing
list to either Thurman B. Cain,
president, West Virginia Busi-
ness college, Clarksburg, w. Va,
or Josephine Cain Wells, Realtor,
964 Guckert Ave, Newark, Ohio.

CAIN REUNION


August z, first Sunday in
August, was the occasion of the
Cain and allied families annual
reunion held under the trees at
the Caldwell Playground. The
clan gathered from the Atlantic
to the Pacific from New
Mexico to Michigan - in spite of
sizzling heat which was followed
by torrential downpour on the
table of a a.delicious community
picnic dinner with iced drinks,
complimentary of Jennie Cain
Barber of Lakewood, Ohio, gen.
erously available - the jolliest,
friendliest get-together of all!
From New York City came the
principal speaker, the distin-
guished son of the late Oscar
Cain and his wife, Meta, Walker
o. Cain, an associate of the firm
of McKim, Mead & White, Park
Ave. Walker gave an intensely
interesting and informative ac-
count of his architectural expert
ences as designated architect for
the new government building
in Lebanon, the land of Bible
times with its cities SO familiar
in our Sunday school history -
we mentally travelled with him
through the Holy Lands learning
from first hand about the holy
Shrines, customs and habits of
the natives.
Mrs. Berta Cain Brady, of
New York City, vice president
of the National Life Conserva-
ton Society, and artist of note,
spoke of the recent activity of
the N. L. c. Society in initiating
the restoring and beautifying of
our national shrine. the Statute
of Liberty and its setting on
Bedloe Island, N. Y. c. at a cost
of over half million. Berta also
spoke of its work in preserving
our heritage of National Parks
from the encroachment of COM
mercial interests to destroy their
beauty.
Our "sprouting" attorney-at-
law, Jimmy Cain, of Bluefield,
w. Va, a graduate of Tulane
university in New Orleans and
recently admitted to the prac-
tice of law in the state of West
Virginia, humorously and eloqu-
emily recounted in the best Herb
Shriner style some of his first
legal cases which he lost!
Thurman Cain, master of cere-
monies and president of the re-
union, was unable to complete
the scheduled program of speak
ers due to the second deluge of
torrential rain which completely
broke up the gathering at the
Playground, much to the disap-
pointment and dismay of the
gathering.
The president and secretary of
the reunion gave a dinner to the
speakers and their families that
evening at $50 o'clock at Bakers
restaurant near New Concord,
at which time the interrupted
program of speakers was COM
pleted.

businesses in lower New York,
looking ahead to this change,
hold options on property in 125th
st. or else own it outright.
The delay in erecting the pro-
Ncsed apartment houses schedul-
ed for Harlem may hinge on the
change in the nature of the sec
ton. And when these apartments
are built, Negroes will not be
able to pay the rents which will
be about $40 per room. This then,
may be the answer to why the
lag in building the apartments at

the land has been cleared over
two years. AT present, it is a
parking lot and while thousands
of Negroes are seeking places to
live, this idle land has been con-
