Enters Service
When this country, entered
the war he was commissioned
as a lieutenant in the Air
Force and served at bases in
Baffin Land, Labrador, Green
land and the Canadian Arctic.
He later helped pioneer con-
struction of many Of the
weather stations and airstrips
that now rim the northern
edge Of the continent.
Thus, at the start Of the
ICY, he was the most logical
choice for one Of the most diff
cult Of all Air Force assign
mentS.
Mai. Knutson, accompanied
by a survey party of six. made
his first landing on T3 with an
airlift task force of ski
equipped planes the afternoon
of March Z. The party found
the last Air Force camp, aban-
doned three years before. most

dug out. Inside walls and CELL
ings were covered by a beauti-
full coat of ice crystals, a phe-
nomenon previously observed in
the late Admiral Byrd's sunken
camps in the Antarctic. The
floor was covered with about
two inches Of ice.
The oil heater was started
The ice started to melt and the
party worked late into the night
scraping walls and ceiling be-
fore any attempt could be made
to bed down. An abandoned
weasel" was found buried in
the ice. They were able to OPP
crate it after it was excavated
There was no effort to salvage
a caterpillar tractor which had
sunk about eight feet. The tenn
perature dropped quickly from
80 to 40.

Social Security News

IL disabled workers do not apply
for the new social security dis
ability benefit before the last day
of 1857, they stand to lose some
of their payments This word of
warning was directed to Delaware
residents by Myron Milbouer, man.
ager of the Wilmington social Sc
curity Office.
Milbouer explained that in August
the first monthly disability benefit
checks were delivered to over 1OO,-
900 disabled persons SO to IS years
of age throughout the country. The
amount of their benefit checks de-
pended on the workers past earn
ings and were the same amount
as they would have received at re-
tirement age. All those receiving
payments are so severly disabled
that they cannot do any substan-
tiai work, but had worked under
social security during at least 5
of the 10 years and liz of the 3
years Immediately before becoming
disabled.
Anyone so to SIS years of age who
meets the above requirements but
who has not yet made application
for his disability benefits should do
so now, Mr.. Milbouer said.
He cautioned that unless appi-
cation is made before December
81, 1857, some benefits may be lost.
Applications made before the end
of the year will qualify disabled
worker for payments back to July
1857, but no back payments can be
made on claims filed after Decem-
Der.
This December 81 deadline ap-
plies only to disability payments.
Disabled workers who are not so
years of age should apply to have
their social security records fro
zen when they have been disabled
six months. Although no benefit
is payable until age so, this freez-
ing of their social security records
will protect their own and their
families future benefit rights.
A person with temporary dis
ability that is expected to improve
to the point that he will be able
to return to work cannot qualify
either to have his social security
record frozen, or to reclaim dis
ability benefits, Mr.. Milbouer
pointed out. To be eligible worker
must have a condition which is ex-
pected to continue indefinitely.
Disabled workers who believe
that they meet the requirements
and especially those 50-65 years
of age-should get in touch with
the social security office right away
to check their rights.

Choosing the right bicycle is
task is left to Nom. There are ne
year, and each child has his own il
wants, so it's wise to do little
advance sleuthing before setting
out to make the purchase.
The first and most important
point is to be sure that the right
size bicycle is chosen for the right
age. All American bikes come in
four basic sizes depending on the
wheel diameter. If the child is be-
tween 8 and years old, get him a
16-inch bike with "outrigger"
wheels which can be removed when
he learns to balance. For children
from to z, a 20-inch bike is cor
rect. For to 10-year-olds, the
24-inch bike is best, and for boys
and girls IL years old and over, the
full-size 26-inch bike is right.
Next comes the question of what
type of bike to buy.
Currently most popular is the
new middleweight bicycle, intro
duced only two years ago in Am
erica and expected to account for
nearly 80 per cent of bicycle sales
this Christmas.
The middleweight was designed
TO combine the best features of
both the lightweight racing bike
and the heavy balloon-tired model.
