■*^y'-^’'">»y’- ‘r.‘.y”«r'y K-. ^ PAGE TWO Young Widow Finds Help In Social Security News of the death of a factory Worker in a nearby community (reach ed the Raleigh office of the Social Se curity Board several days ago. Short ly thereafter, a representative of the Board called at the home of the de ceased wage earner. A girl with a ba by in her arms answered the knock at the door. Conversation with this young worn an—widow of the deceased wage ear ner—showed that she was totally un aware of the fact that she had the right to claim payment of survivors insurance. However, she did know that her husband, at one time, ob tained a social security card and she knew the name of the employer for whom he had worked. A talk with his epjployer developed the fact that the young husband h,fid worked for the firm about two years prior to his death. At first glance it would appear that so short a period of employment would not justify monthly payments of survivors insurance to the widow; but further consideration shows that provision is made in the law for the payment of benefits to the survivors of a wage earner who was only cur rently insured. This means that the man who has worked in covered em ployment at least part of the time in each of six calendar quarters, earn ing not less than $50 in each quarter during the last 12 quarters (three years) of his life and dies leaving a widow and young child, is said to be currently insured; and these survi vors may claim monthly benefits un der the Social Security Act. Since the young husband and fath er, mentioned above, had worked in a factory prior to his death for eight quarters—which is more than the re quired time—he was found to be cur rently insured; and his widow was advised to file claims for monthly payments of survivors insurance. Examination of his wage record also showed that his average monthly pay amounted to a little more than a $100 a month. Based on that figure, thy widow and her child were awarded benefits of $32 per month. If she does not re-marry, she will continue to receive payments every month until the child is 18 years old. Whether or not the mother re-marries. the child will continue to receive benefits until he is 16 years old (18 if he remains unmarried and in school). The Social Security Board is now paying monthly benefits to widows and children of thousands of men who have died currently insured. In addition to these recipients, there are many other widow.s whose husbands died fully insured. Some of these women are 65 years old or over; oth ers have children under 18—and they too receive monthly benefits. There are, also, many retired workers who draw monthly benefits for themselves and income cases, for their depen'i- ents. Old-age and survivors benefits go, also, to a limited number of a,ged parents who survive insured wage- earners. These are men or women. 65 years old or more, who were depend ent upon the deceased son or daugh ter, at the time the wage earner died.

ANSWER: When turnip salad is fed in unlimited amounts, the chick ens consume less mash and this, in turn, will cause the flock to slump in egg production, answers C. F. Par rish, Extension poultry specialist at State College. He recommends that not over four pounds of turnip salad be fed to a flock of 100 birds in a day. Any feed that causes a decrea.se in the consumption of mash by the flock is likely to cause a slump in egg production. QUESTION: Will the feeding of tankage to my hogs cause an off feeding of beef calves while they ai’e nursing their dams ? ANSWER: Many cattle growers are doing this successfully, says L. I. Case, Extension animal husbandman at State College. He points out that there are two ways of doing this feeding. One is to allow the calves to run continually with the cows, feeding them grain in a creep. The other is to separate the calves from the cows when they are six weeks to two months old, allowing them to nurse twice daily, and keeping feed before them in a barn or open shed connected with a separate pasture that is used exclusively by the calves. ' QUESTION: Would you advise the flavor in the cured tneat? ANSWER: Properly processed tankage, when fed to hogs, will in no way cause an off flavor of the meat, says Dr. D. E. Brady, Exten sion animal husbandry specialist at State College. The same is true for properly processed fish meal. Brady pointed out, however, that in the case of feeding fish, where there is a high oil content, that this will cause a de velopment of an off or rancid flavor in the meat. on no violation of any criminal law for two years.
