most ~ years W ucHI thc chSc
non-yielding airline policy that re-
quired stewardess either to re-
sign or to accept a ground posi-
tion IL she married.
The policy changes are not at
tributable to any decline in the
supply of attractive, young, un-
married ladies'. 1t is rather an at
tempt to slow down the turnover
i'm personnel and reduce the cost
of training programs.
Cupid's prodigious feats with the
bow and arrow have resulted in
an average 40 per cent a year
turnover in stewardess personnel.
The airlines first began to weak
en- in 1855. A heavy increase in
passenger traffic forced them to
ask former hostesses grounded or
discharged by marriage to come
back on an emergency basis dur
ing the tourist season.
The same measures had to be
taken in 1856 IND again this year.
During the past tourist season
Trans World Airlines decided to
reassess its policy.
The airline found that close to
500 stewardessss each year were
detouring from the aisle of mod
ern ailiner to the aisle of matri-
mony.
In 1888 TWA had only 60 stew
ardesses. Today there are almost
1,400. Because of the turnover, the
airline trained 583 hostesses in
1856 and about the same number
or more in 1857.
Marion Filkins, in-flight service
director, says the first change made

trouble proving I'm actually 65.
No problem here. Simply bring
some old document with you
when you file your application
for benefits. The Social Secur-
ity Administration has had lot
of experience with human ma
ture, and knows that many
people sometimes give an un-
reliable birth date for their own
personal reasons. Many types
of evidence are acceptable for
proving your age: birth or
baptismal certificate, Family
Bible, marriage record, insur-
ance policy, census or voting
record-any document showing
: your age that was recorded a
reasonable time ago. The dis
trict Office will send you such
a list, and it might not be a
bad idea to ask them for Form
OAAN-7003, which can be used
to amend your social security
record by advising them of your
true date of birth.

thought that when you reach

Definitely not. So long as you
work in employment covered
by the Social Security Act, you
contribute percentage of your
earnings and continue to build
up social security credits for
yourself. Your age does not
matter.
Il understand that if you're 72

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

Q-Must / include the new Social
Security disability payments as
income, in figuring my annual
income for VA pension pur-
poses?
A-Social Security disability pay
ments should not be considered
as Income" until the payments
add up to the full amount of
what you personally have con-
tributed to the Social Security
fund. After that, the Social
Security disability payments
will count as income for VA
pension purposes.
Q-I have been offered job as
test pilot for an aircraft COM
pany. Will my CT insurance
policy cover me if anything
happens to me on the job?
Ayes. Your CT insurance policy
contains no restrictions as to
hazardous employment. 1t will
protect you no matter how
hazardous your job might be.
O-My husband was killed in active
service in March, 1947-after
the fighting in World War ii
had ended but before the war
officially was declared at an
end for purposes of VA bene-
fits. Would my daughter be ELI

A-No. The War Orphans Edu-
cation law specifies that for
World War III veterans, death

in the policy gave former hostesses
grounded by marriage the oppor-
tunity to return to flying on per-
manent basis provided they could
meet the other requirements. She
adds:
"The vast majority contacted
were of the opinion that they didn't
think the uniform would fit them
since they had started raising
their own crops of hostesses and
pilots"
The airline also decided to al
low those already in service to con-
tinue to fly after marriage if they
wished to do so and as long as
they. too continued to meet the
other requirements.

the Rev. Arthur Dirks, united her

AS someone once said Educate

Loyalty Day Speech
Stresses Patriotism

i ut is just as necessary to ex.
press ones loyalty to his country
periodically as it is to attend
church regularly" Omar B. Kit
chum, national legislative officer
of the Veterans of Foreign Wars
at Washington, d. c., declared last
Sunday afternoon in a speech al
historic Cooch's Bridge Mr. Ket-
chum's address highlighted the
Loyalty Day program sponsored by
District #2 of the v. F. w. Della
ware Department.
a.There is a great tendency in
this day and age" said Mr. Ket-
chJGn, ito place great emphasis on
material things and to forget the
historic past-the work of the pio-
neers and those who laid down
their lives and their worldly goods
in order TO create this land of the
free. 1t is fitting and proper that
all of us should pause in our mad
rush for monetary gain and spend
at least one day a year in evalu-
ating just what we have in the Uni
ted States of America.
Il feel very strongly about the
necessity to call our heritage to the
attention of our coming generations
so they will know how dearly we
paid for the liberty and freedom
which we enjoy today" the ma
tional V. F. w. representative con-
tinued.
"Wt know that hundreds of peo-
| pie profess to Dc religious, al
though they never go to church or
give church their support. Can
yous imagine what this country
would be like without our
churches? People must continue to
profess and support them in order
for them to carry on-and the
same thing applies to our form of
government. If we can let our
leaders know that we believe in
the Constitution and our Declara-
ton of ndependence-and contin-
ue to look to them to carry out
those principles-we will all be
better for 1t"
Mr.. Ketchum also clarified the
situation which brought about
Law Day this year through a pres
idential proclamation while 10y
atty Day was not recognized by
Congress this year.
"Our friends of the American
Bar Association realize now that
there has been conflict. They
want to work with us. I believe
that within the next two weeks
you will see a law passed in
Washington which will made May
/, 1859, and every successive May
Loyalty Day by presidential
proclamation. This will be worked
out with the American Bar Associ-
alton, who may seek a new date
for Law Day, or combine it and
cooperate with us in marking 10y

ernment by law are so closely re-
lated it will not be hard to solve
this problem" !"

JOCKEY RIDGE NAME
CONTINUES AS BAYNES
OPEN NEW BUSINESS

Jockey Ridge continues to be
the operating name for the Baynes
as well as Mrs. Margie Suthard.
Mr.. and Mrs. P. J M. Bayne today
are opening their new firm, Jockey
Ridge Gifts, about a mile north
of their old stand at the foot of
Jockey Ridge.
The Baynes have built a two
story brick building, with living
quarters upstairs and are complet-
ing their arrangements for bust
ness dealing in gifts, novelties,
souvenirs. Business is expected to
be good, for they have had custo-
mers stopping earlier this week,
although they were not officially
open.
The trio composed of the Baynes
and Mrs. Suthard gained host of
friends during the many years
they operated the old Jockey Ridge
Restaurant. In the building of the
new highway down the beach, this
business site was condemned for
use of the highway department.
Mrs. Suthard now operates res
taurant under the same name, To-
Gated just south of Carolinian
hotel.
