shipped to Russian Siberia, where
the presence of Soviet troops tends
to pin down great numbers of Jap-

and planters countered with de-

ter the death of their husbands

According to the Social Secur-

cial Security Hoard office to learn
if there are any benefits payable.
Likewise every wage earner on
reaching 65 should contact the

immediate interest to file. He will
also explain many other details
