Social Security Benefits Available To Many Widows

JUNEAU - One of the 1856 amendment to the Social Security Act may be of special interest to persons living in remote areas of Alaska The amendment extends, in certain cases, the time rela- tives have to file for the lump sum death payment.
 The Social Security Act says that the widow, widower, or per son who pays the burial expenses has two years to file application for the lump-sum death benefit, a payment amounting to as much as $255. Under the recent amend ment, survivors of men and Wom- en who died after 1946 may be eligible to file claims for the lump-sum even if they let the two year limit go by without ap- plying for the payment.
 To give an example of how this change might affect you or persons you know, we will men tion the claim recently awarded to a widow on St. Paul Island. / The lady'S husband passed away in 1949 No application was made until recently. The claim was ap- proved and a check mailed to the widow
 Another Social Security change, this one made in 1854, reaped even larger benefits for the same widow and her small son, She and the boy are now each receiv- ing a monthly check from Social Security which will continue till the boy reaches age Is.
 At the time her husband died, he did not have enough time working in employment covered by Social Security for his fam fly to receive benefits. But in 1854 the required time was reduced for all those men who died before September 1850.
 So, eight years after her hus- bands death, the young widow and young son are starting to re- ceive monthly payments based on the social security taxes her hus- bands employers made years ago.
 These checks, like all social se- curity benefits, are insurance payments rightfully due the wid- oW and son according to law. They are not to be considered as charity or public assistance. For the fact is, the widow could con- tinue to receive the checks even if she didn't need them.
 There may be many persons living in isolated villages in AL aska who are not receiving So- cial Security payments due them, simply because they failed to in- quire.
 Sociay Security payments are being made to 4500 widows, chil-

Chief Laws Home Total Loss by Fire

Chief w. w. Laws, former fire chief here for many years, exper- fenced a fire of his own early Thursday morning when he woke to a smoke-fil house and was forced to flee without even saving his clothes.
 As there were no lights on and no fire in the stove, the cause of the fire has not been determined.
 Two hours after the fire was believed out, it broke out again and the Fire Department was again alerted.
 The home, on Steadman Ave, was a total loss but insured

great gains made during the past year in the expo
sive Middle East situation, but time now seems to be
working against it's enemies
There is much yet to be accomplished in the field OF
foreign affairs-such securing rights OF Navigation
in the Suez Canal and Gulf of Akaba and settlement
of the still thorny GAIA Strip problem. But with the
area becoming more and the playground of major
powers in the worldwide struggle between Communism
and Democracy the situation becomes less and less
within the power of Israel to solve.
But the young nation can look back on these major
gains in the past year.

crushing Dictator Nasser's army with near-mlracle
speed.
g. Establishing itself the prime power in the Mid
die East.
g. Reducing, through its military victory, Egyptian

GAIA Strip and also achieving token guarantees of its
GAIA border by United Nations force.
a. Although inconclusively yet, breaking the
blockade of the Gulf of Ahaba:

breather on it's foreign affairs scene to asslmate
members of wave of refugees and move furtner
