started.
Thompson handed ont prepar-
ed reports to everyone present
explaining the situation of the
town. and additional copies ere
available to all Interested par
ties at places Of business down
town.
One of the recommendations
in the report is that the Town
Council raise the water rate per
month for 5000 gallons from
s2.0O to $2.50 10 pay for the
upkeep of the water system and
begin a sinking fund for major
additions later. At the meeting
Thompson explained that softer
water would more than balance
this additional cost to home
owners, who would have less
plumbing bills. use less de-
tergents, and find clothes laun-
dered were less damaged.
Our idea" he said, lis not to
build the cheapest water plant,
but the most economical one.
Everyone thinks it would be
fairer to raise the water bill
minimum than to raise real es-
tate taxes. a move no one has
considered.
Mayor Hammer opened he
meeting by outlining the con-
slant efforts of the town council
to provide the town with ade-
quate water supply during the
last 20 years. This task has be-
come increasingly difficult in the
last few years. Because OF the
lowering Of the water table in
this country, further Illustrations
and useless expense would be
encountered in the future by the
digging and maintenance OF old
and new wells.
To-day we use $4,000 gallons
a day more than We are produc-
ing. and Virginia Crafts is shut
down one day a week as a re-
suit.
Our town is the first TO quali-
fy for a federal loan in con
nectlon with a watershed prof
ect. A part of these bonds will
be purchased by the Govern
ment at an interest rate of 90
per cent and the balance at 3.75
per cent
In his report, Mr.. Thompson
has estimated that the town
would pay off the bonds III 30
years. Even he agrees this is
conservative The engineer also
says the consumption Of water
should grow at two per cent, and
that the growth should be con
siderably greater

that Frank E. Weymouth was

"After more than a quarter
century of social security, many
people still think of it as some
thing strictly for the older per-
son and it is this incorrect pic
ture of social security that we
try to dispel through every
means that we can," Glenn A.
Gardner, social security dis
trict manager in Billings, said
today.
Gardner brought out that the
social security program protects
persons of all ageS-not only
the 81 or 65 year old. In addi-
ton to the regular retirement
benefits for elderly people, dis
ability payments may also be
made to a totally and perman-
emily disabled worker who is
under 65.
Benefits to widows, surviving
children under 18 years of age,
and disabled children past 18
years of age are also an i'm
portant part of "Social .secu-
rity". Other people who can get
benefits if they were depen-
dent on a deceased worker are
dependent husbands, and in
certain situations, divorced
wives.
Social security is no longer
protection for the older person
alone," Gardner said. 'Tt is
lifetime protection for nine out
of ten working Americans.
But benefits cannot be paid
unless an application is made,
a person who is nearing retire
ment should inquire at the So
cial security office about bene.
