APPLY PROMPTLY FOR
OLD-AGE AND SURVIVOR8
INSURANCE BENEFITS
Despite repeated urgings through
the newspapers of twenty-five coun-
ties, occasional applications for old-
age and survivors insurance benefits
provided by the Social Security Act
are presented after one or more pay-
ments have been lost because of de-
lay. This statement was released by
F. J. McCarthy, Jr., manager of the
San Antonio office of the Board.
Although the number of cases of
this type is very small, the fact that
they occur is indicative that there are
still a number of people who are pro-
tected by the Social Security Act
without their being aware of it.
Applications from widows at age
65 and from young widows with chil-
dren in their care, must be received
by the Board before the end of the
third month after the worker’s death
to obtain maximum benefits. Appli-
cations for lump-sum payments are
barred by statute after the second
anniversary of the wage earner’s
death.
Since lump-sum payments are
made only when there is no one eli-
gible to receive a monthly benefit
for the month in which death occurs,
survivors of deceased workers should
apply promptly to the nearest office
of the Social Security Board. It costs
nothing to obtain, information.

—Typewriter Ribbons, Sentinel office
me, the headlines read—60 IT. S. Planes Lost.
II news account may mention that 600 airmen were
n with them. But nowhere will you find mention
ow many of those men landed alive and are now in
prison camps. There is no w'ay of knowing.
Actually, about 60 per cent of all American airmen shot
down over enemy territory survive—as prisoners of war.
,. Some prison camps are devoted exclusively to airmen. But
these camps are little different from the others. In all, the
men behind the barbed wire live the same empty life. There
is nothing to do but wait—wait—and try to hold on to your
I sanity while you wait.
That’s why War Prisoners’ Aid was formed. It provides
the wherewithal to buy for prisoners of war the tilings that
twill help them hold on to their sanity during those empty
days of waiting. Books, Games, Athletic equipment. Make-up
kits for amateur theatricals. Musical instruments.
It takes money to buy these things. More and more money
as more and more of our men wind up in prison camps. The
only way War Prisoners Aid can get that money is through
your contribution to your local community drive. Your gift
is also shared by war refugees, the U.5.O., Merchant Seamen,
and war sufferers all over the world. Give once for all of
these.

Words That
Roll Off Your Tongue
Ed Hodges and the doctor were
holding forth about how words
only mean something when you
think about them; and that a lot
of words seem to lose their
meaning just because they’re
used too glibly.
As the doctor put It, “They
roll oil your tongue without go-
ing through your mind. Take
tolerance for Instance ... some
of the people who use it moat
understand it least.”
From where I sit, It looks like
the doctor Is right But tolerance
is mighty easy to understand.
After all, It Just comes down to
having respect for other folks’
rights. I don’t mean just in the
big things like maybe what po-
litical party a fellow belongs to.
But in the little things, too, like
having a glass of beer occa-
sionally.
Seems to me If every time we
spoke about tolerance we
thought about what It means—
maybe then we’d all of us start
living It and not just talking
about it.
