About Social Security
Help Us To Help You
These days all federal, state and
local agencies concerned with ser
vices and benefits want to know
how much a Social Security bene
ficiary is receiving monthly in
benefits.
Most of the agencies end up
asking the local Social Security
office in Fayetteville for that infor
mation. These agencies include
housing authorities. Departments
of Social Services, fuel payment
programs, etc. This type of work
load really slows down the claims of
people who have filed for benefits
because employees have to stop to
work on these benefit requests.
How can you help to reduce this
workload of benefit requests that
tends to interfere with the payment
process of current claims? Every
person who becomes entitled to
Social Security benefits receives an
"Award Letter" either before his
first monthly check or shortly
thereafter. It will be a tremendous
help if this award letter or certifi
cate is placed in a safe location and
not thrown away. It is an official
document and can be shown to any
agency requesting benefit informa
tion. It will meet their require
ments.

The Wolf's Eerie Howl
Is Worse Than Its Bite
By Donald J. Frederick
National Geographic News Service
Litte Red Riding Hood had
nothing to worry about.
The big. bad wolfs stoned
reputation as a ferocious people
eater is completely undeserved.
Not one case of healthy wolves
attacking people has been recorded
in North America. Old accounts of
marauding "beasts in Europe
probably embellished by legend --
are now interpreted as attacks by
rabid wolves or wolf-dog hybrids.
"The wolf as scientists know it is
quite different from the public s
image of the creature as a heinous
super killer." says Dr. L. Dav'd
Mech. A biologist with the U.S.
Fish and Wildlife Service and one
of the world's leading authorities
on wolves. Dr. Mech reveals his
latest findings on the animals in the
October National Geographic.
A wolf is probably best known
for its howling. "It is this eerie
howling that has probably inspired
the tales that have arisen about the
wolf." writes Dr. Mech. "The
' animal is though-capable ot choos
? jng any prey and running it down
'with impunity.
"Its weight, usually 60 to 12U
pounds, is often grossly exagge
rated. and so is the size ot its packs,
rarely more than twenty members
and usually fewer than ten."
In a natural population ot
wolves, where mar has not inter
fered. all the available space is
taken up by packs. Each occupies a
territory of its own. overlapping
little with neighboring packs, ex
cept possibly on the tundra. There,
during much ot the year, the need
of migration seems to result in
greater tolerance among groups.
"Exclusive spacing ot pack terri
tories may be maintained bv how
ling and by scent marking -- a
ritualistic practice." reports Dr.
Mech. "Whatever the means ot
marking territories, lone wolves are
left with no real areas of their own.
and most are doomed to a nomadic
life of trying to avoid packs."
In a simple pack with a pair ot
adults and their pups, the social
hierarchy is a linear one. But some
packs mav contain as many as 3b
members." including several aduiis.
In such cases both a male 2nd a
female social ladder develops. The
male leader, however, guides the
activities of the pack and initiates
attacks against trespassers.
Peripheral animals or social
outcast occupy the lowest rung ot
wolf society. Most large packs have
a least one poor "scapewolt on
whom the others take out their
frustrations. The unlucky creature
is subject to sudden attacks and
may have to depend on leftovers to
survive.
In the author's opinion, such an
arrangement is beneficial to
survival of the pack. Instead ot all
members suffering malnutrition
during a shortage of prey such as
caribou or moose, or because ot
over-population in the pack, the
bottom members go on short
rations, leaving the dominant in
dividuals in good health.
Lone wolves may be the losers

I'rom the bottom of the pack driven
to solitude when the food supply
gets low and life becomes so grim
there really is no alternative.
Another factor in the making of
loners might be aggressiveness.
When offspring mature at the age
of two or three years, they may not
be able to endure the discipline of
the dominant animals. Instead of
lingering in the shadow of their
parents and being subordinated,
they may just strike out on their
own.
Loners do worst when wolves are
least molested by man and the
packs grow large. Then they are
allowed no area of their own to
hunt, thus weakening the loners
and making them easy victims
when they trespass on a pack's
territory. The loners are extras in a
saturated population and are ex
pendable.
But where wolves are exploited
by man. or perhaps where some
natural disaster such as rabies or
distemper wipes out part of the
population, lone wolves suddenly
play an important role. By wander
ing endlessly, they eventually locate
any unoccupied area, and if they
find a loner of the opposite sex
there, they may mate, settle, and
form their own pack.
