Pair Setting World Record For
 Endurance Flying

LAS VEGAS, R m Two fliers, stiff and sore from a cramped ca bin, droned on Saturday to a new world record for an endurance flight.
 Roh0rt Timm, 32, Las Vegas, and John Cook, 33, Los Angeles, passed the old record of 50 days, Is minutes at 4:09 pm. Friday. They kept right on toward their goal of 60 days. The fliers are helping promote a Cancer Fund drive.
 "We may stay up now until the engine stops running" Timm crowed. "You can be sure we won't be down in less than an- other 10 days"
 They went on with their four hours on, four hours off stints, piloting single-engine Cessna 172 in the Blythe, Ariz.-Las Vegas areas. They were jubilant, if tired.
 Every morning the fliers swoop low over the airport in Blythe to keep a 90-mile-an-hour rendezvous with pickup truck. They hoist their breakfast, lunch and mail up in basket. They get their fuel a'4 a hot supper every evening the same way.

Alcan Highway Travellers
 Spend Night In Snow Bank

FORT ST. JOHN, B. C., LR - Two Texans who spent Wednes- day night in a snow-filled ditch on the Alaska Highway are recov- ering from their ordeal in this northeastern British Columbia community.
 T. B. Forse and Tom Noble of Odessa, Tex, were on Mile 37 of the 1,500-mile highway Wednes- day night when their car plowed into a snoW-filled ditch. It took them an hour to get out of the car.
 When they did, they made a charcoal fire in a bucket of sand they had in the car and kept the engine running all night. Tenn peratures were about 25 degrees below zero.
 Help arrived at dawn, about 10 hours after they left the road. Their car was pulled from the ditch and they drove a few miles before collapsing. They were talk en to a hospital.
 Noble was kept in hospital Fri day. ForSe was released Thurs day. They were en route to An chorage. Mrs. Forse was driving ahead in another car.

Social Security
epresentativ
Here August II

When someone mentions social
security, do you think only of
the social security tax you are
required to pay? If you do, then
you are missing valuable informal
ton which you need when you
are planning for future security
for yourself and your family.
According to Chester v. Buchan-
an, representative of the Billings
district office, your social security
situation isn't exactly the same as
your neighbours = or your bro
theirs. So that you may make
your plans and be sure that social
security will play the role that
you expect it to, you should get
the facts.
For example, did you know
that 8 out of 10 women and chill
dren may now receive benefits,
if the family breadwinner dies.
These benefits may equal from
$50 to 1854 per month to the
family, depending upon the work.
er's average earnings. Seven out
of every 10 people over IS are
now receiving social security
checks = or will receive them
when they retire from work.
Over $4,000 people in the 20 coun-
ties served from the Billings dis
trict office receive benefit checks
amounting to 7A million dollars
annually.

certainly know how you mast
feel. Not knowing anyone in the
large city you wish to move to
does present a problem. Perhaps
your minister or priest can refer
you to someone in the city who
can do some scouting around for
a nice room. Is there a Y.W.C-A.
there? That would be ideal. Only
you a convince your parents
you will be all right and if it
means anything, I'm sure you
win and that you're sincere.

help some.
Dear Dan: Two of us in our
high school band have written a
popular song which we think is
pretty good. AS yet no one else
knows about it and we want to
keep it a secret until we have it
published or at least heard by a
song publisher. What's the pro-
cedure for marketing a song?
Thanks for your help.--A. and
Ted.
Dear Boys: Your song may be
"pretty good" or pretty bad,"
depending on the judgment of
someone professionally qualified
to answer. Why not take your
band instructor into your little
secret? If the song is as good as
you seem to think, he may be
able to give you that advice on
marketing it. If it isn't, then
he may be able to offer. some
suggestions for improving the
tune. Even if the song isn't
quite as good as you think,
remember, all famous song
writers hit a few sour notes
before they came up with their
first big hit. Lots of luck.

Is Fully Explained

more than once annually under any
condition.
There are no age or physical re-
strictions. Those who cannot give
blood from their own veins may
get someone else to give in their
place, or, as a last resort, pay the
Blood Bank $500 1.-THE current
price of a pint of blood in our local
hospitals).
The Blood Bank also covers sub
scribers and their dependents when
out of the state on short business
or vacation trips, but the coverage
is not available for planned surgi-
cal operations in out-of-state hos
pitfalls at the present time. Federal
law prevents our shipping blood
for us to pay for blood used out of
state, which is too expensive to
provide and keep our dues at $1.00
a year. However, out-of-state men,
bers are eligible to join on con-
ditional contract which assures
them and their dependents of all
the whole blood needed while in
Delaware hospitals.
This Blood Bank was started May
Is, 1855, and has now enrolled over
Al 900 subscribers, who with their
dependents number over 125,000
people receiving protection under
this plan. 1t has attracted national
attention and has been written
about in four (4) magazines with
nationwide calculations; three 60
of which are associated with the
medical and hospital field.
The Blood Bank has the official
approval of the three 90, county
medical societies Of Delaware, as
we'll as the State Medical Society.
All community hospitals in Della
ware are members.
Since it's inception, the Blood
Bank has performed many note
worthy acts. Hundreds of subscrib-
ers or their dependents have bene-
fitted by the blood replaced under
the plan, ranging from one ID
pint to one hundred and ninety
eight (198) pints. Some of the blood
replaced was for that given to in
dividuals with extremely rare
blood types. The gratitude of those
benefited is our reward for carry
ing on this work. The one hundred
and ninety-eight (198) pints giver
one of our subscribers points VI
the necessity of belonging to this
plan, as no one has any assurance
that he may never need as much
or more, and no one has that many
friends or relatives not only willing
but able to assist.
All residents of Delaware should
be enrolled under this non-profi
neutrality-suspicious. plan. The
cost is small. The benefits can be
and many times are priceless.
