DENVER.—“We’re detectives,” said
one of two men, each with a tin
badge, at the door of John T. East,.
92.
“We’re checking for phony bills.
Let’s see your money.”
East produced the $65 he had left
from his last old-age pension check-
The two inspected it briefly.
“Some of these bills are counter-
feit,” one man said. “We’ll just take
all this money with us. We’ll come
for you later.”
East told police later he suspected
he was the victim of a confidence
game. The genuine officers told him
he was right.
Keeping an accurate mailing list
of subscribers of a weekly, or any
newspaper, is a big job. It involves
a lot of time and effort, especially
when folks move around a lot. Here’s
a description of a “Perfect Subscrib-
er” as seen from the circulation end
of the newspaper game:
He has a very simple name and ad-
dress that are practically impossible
to misspell.
He always sends a check in answer
to your first renewal notice to cover
the longest subscription you sell.
He has always lived in the same
house and intends to stay there.
He discusses articles from your
publication with his friends and as-
sociates.
He takes your publication to work
and sometimes leaves it on the bus by
mistake. Then he buys another copy
at the newsstand to finish the article
he was reading.
He never writes you a letter which
requires a personal answer.
He uses your publication as a gift
to take care of a lot of Christmas
shopping.
He writes to at least six of your
advertisers each year and always tells
them where he saw their ad.—West

“Freeze” Provision
Is New In Social

One of the most important Amend-
ments of the Social Security Act is
the disability “freeze” provision
which aids in preserving the benefit
rghts of the persons who have pro-
longed periods of disability.
In the past, long periods of disabil-
ity have caused drastic reductions in
the individual’s benefit amount and,
in some instarices, have resulted in a
loss of insured status altogether. This
new feature of the law provides that
the time during which a worker, who
has substantial work record under so-
cial security, is under an extended in-
capacitating disability would be dis-
regarded in determining his eligibil-
ity status and the amount of his ben-
efit. This change maintains the work-
er’s right to retirement benefits at the
amount he would have received had
he become 65 and retired on that date
his disability began; it also protects
whatever survivorship rights existed
when he became disabled.
In order for the disability “freeze”
to be applied, it will be necessary for
the worker to: (1) have a total dis-
ability preventing him from doing
any substantially gainful work for at
least six months; (2) have been em-
ployed under social security for about
five years , out of the last 10 before
becoming disabled and one and a half
years out of the three years immedi-
ately before his disability; and (3)
file an application with his local so-
cial security offce.
If a person meets the above re-
quirements, he should contact his so-
cial security office. If a retired
worker is now receiving old-age in-
surance benefits and he was totally
disabled for more than six months
before reaching 65, and he is still dis-
abled, he should make inquiry in
1955 because this provision of the law
may increase the amount of his pay-
ments. However, this part of the law
does not apply to the benefits being
paid to the survivors of workers at
this time.
By Sidney J. Harris
This is an open letter to a boy,
about 18, who forced me off the road
while cutting in sharply and passing
me on a hill yesterday afternoon:
Dear Son: You may think you are
a good driver, and perhaps you are.
But I’d like you to keep in mind that
most of your “skillful” driving is due
to other motorists.
Anybody can whip along the road
as fast and as carelessly as you were
going. There’s no trick to that—the
new cars are loaded with power and
pickup—too much so, I’m afraid.
Just remember that it was my
alertness that prevented an accident
on the hill, not yours. And the driv-
er who was approaching us also had
to brake suddenly and swerve in or-
der to save your life and his.
It is not your courage or dexterity
that has kept you alive as long as
this, but the prudence and politeness
of other motorists. You have been
treading on our good will and sense
of self-preservation.
I wish it were possible to point out
to you that your kind of driving is
nothing but bad manners—it is not
heroic, or adventurous or manly.
Suppose you ran down a crowded
street, pushing people out of your
way, knocking packages out of la-
dies’ hands and kicking children into
the gutter. What would be so heroic
or manly about this?
Nothing, of course. Then why do
you suppose that having 2,000 pounds
of steel under you makes it any bet-
ter? There’s nothing to be proud of
in driving fast—any fool can do that.
It’s a form of cowardice to threaten
other drivers, not courage.
Suppose you beat me at the geta-
way, or up the hill? What does that
prove? Nothing, except that the car
you bought is faster. You didn’t
make it; it’s a commercial product.
Anybody can buy one like it—and
anybody can drive with a. maniacal
disregard for safety.
So don’t take any pride in your
deadly accomplishment. A real man
is considerate and polite—and takes
chances only when it counts, when
his honor and conscience call out for
it. On the highway, most of all, it’s
easy to tell the men from the boys—
for the men have to save the boys
from the consequences of their fool-
ish and needless bravado. — Chicago
