Schenley
Decanters Make
Ideal Gifts

DecanterS Of holiday whiSkies,
brandies and cordialS are ex-
tremely popular as Christmas
gifts every year because of their
practical usefulness long after the

varied types of bottles which can
be converted, after their con-
tents are enjoyed, into almost
every imaginable item, from cock
tail shakers to lamp bases. They
are ideal, too, for "thank YOU
gestures to hosts and hostesses
and make any home entertain
ment service more gracious.

AN INVITATION
TO THE REDS

The United States Government
has suggested that the Russian
Government send observers to
this country to view the actual
election which takes place in this
country in November.
The Russians would get a good
idea of how a democracy actually
works, and how a two-party sys-
tenn operates compared with the
one-party system which the Rus
slams have had since 1917.
The Russians will get a good
the United States Government is
a smart move and a visit to this
country to observe the election
will undoubtedly impress Russian
visitors. They cannot fail to see
that democrcy in the United
States is genuine, and that there
are two hotly-competing parties,
either of which might win -
depending upon the choice of the
people.
We are glad that the Russians
accepted the invitation, because
every Russian converted or en-
lightened is another step forward
in trying to pierce the Iron Cur
tain (Which is also a mental cur
tain), as far as Russian citizens
are concerned.

Io2, 100000 VOTERS

The Census Bureau revealed re-
Gently that 102, 750,0 600 civilians
in the United States are old
enough to vote in the Presidential
election. For the first time the
total number of United States
civilians eligible to vote has pass
ed the 100, 000, 900 mark.
OF the 102 million who are ell
igible to vote only about 60%
will exercise their franchise in
November, according to estimates.
In 1852, when about SO, 100, O0O
persons were eligible to vote, 61,-
$4,000 exercised their right and
voted in that election, which put
President Eisenhower into office.
A greater vote is likely this
year, even though there are some
who say that interest in this
years election is not quite as in
tense as it was in the election
of 1852. The larger numbers of
registered voters, however, indi-
cate the total vote will be larger.

Delay in Filing
Does Not Affect
SIS Payments

Persons who may become en-
titled to old-age or survivors in
Surance payments during the
months just ahead, because OF
recent changes in the social Sc
curity law, namely, women aged
81, disabled workers who have
reached age so, and children who
were disabled before age 18, will
not lose any payments if they
delay filing a claim for benefits,
Glenn A. Gardner, district man
ager of the Billings social security
office, declared today.
Payments to a woman who has
reached age 81 can begin with
the check for this November
which will be due after the end
of that month. However, women
81 to SIS, do not need to apply
for the payments Immediately.
Even if they wait a full year
before filing a claim at the social
security office - that is, not I'M
til November 1857 - they can
still get any back payments they
are entitled to-" Gardner assures
them.
A disabled working person who
has reached age so can't start to
get monthly benefit payments I'M
til July 1857. Even if he does
not file a claim until the end of
December 1857, he will get back
payments for all months begin
ming with next July. In the case
a child who became disabled
before reaching IS, the first pay
nents are for January 1857. How
