The tveejts or months following their registration will be unsettled, and for some, unhappy. If they pass the physical ret; uirements they will wonder how soon they will be called, and, if they go into the army, where they will be stationed, and how long their service will last. Friends and relatives of the young men who registered on July 1 can either make them feel better or worse about their situation—depend ing on the attitude they take. If all that a young man hears from family and friends is "what a-pity” talk, his face will get longer and longer and his lot will seem worse and worse. But if his family and friends seem to accept the fact of his possible in duction into the army as no personal injustice or personal hardship, but a necessary part of a young man’s life in the world today ho will feel more philosophical about it himself. Something He Has To 1'ace There's no point at all in a fami ly’s encouraging a draft age son to feel sorry for himself hy bemoan ing the fact that he will have to leave his job, that he won’t he earn ing any money to speak of, and that he doesn’t know how far away from home he’ll be in the coming year. The draft is a fact a young man has to face—and pity doesn’t help him to face ft with the determination to make the best of whatever comes to him. So when you talk to the young man who may soon be a draftee, treat his future in a matter-of-fact manner, and if you dwell on any aspects of army hfc pick on some of the good ones. No parent and no friend are being fair to a draftee if they encourage him to fee] that life is giving him a poor deal.

Jeffrey, manager of the Wilmington office of the Social Se curity board, said yesterday. Among the beneficiaries are 52 re tired workers who were insured un der the provisions of the social se curity act. seven aged wives of re tired workers, 14 widows and 31 de pendent children. For the Wilmington area, includ ing Bladen, Brunswick, Carteret, Columbus, Craven, Jones, New Han over, Onslow, Pamlico and Pender counties, 272 persons are receiving monthly payments of old-age and survivors' Insurance. The 'figures were the latest avail able. said Mr. Jeffrey. Of the 272 persons in the area receiving payments of old-age or survivors’ Insurance. 113 are insured workers who have reached the age of 65 and who have retired from regular employment in business or industry. Nineteen of the annuitants have wives who are 65 or over, and they, too, are receiving monthly pay ments of old-age insurance. h-xplains System Mr. Jeffrey explained that a man xvhn has worked in a factory or a store or in some other industrial or business concern since the old-age insurance system went into opera tion and has qualified for benefits may claim payment upon reaching 65. When an insured worker reach es 65 and begins receiving old-age Insurance payments, additional bene fits may go to his wife if she is 65 or when she reaches 65. Each of his children also may receive monthly payments if they are still under 16 or are still in school and not over 19. The monthly payment to the wife of an annuitant amounts to one-half of his monthly benefit. The monthly payment to each of his minor chil dren is also one-half of his own monthly benefit. The amount of monthly insurance payments which any member of the worker’s family may receive depends upon the amount of the worker’s own monthly insurance bene'it. An insured worker’s widow who has reached age 65, whether or not she has a child in her care, may also claim monthly benefits, pro vided her husband died since this provision went into effect (January 1. 1940.) Her monthly payment amounts to three-fourths of her hus band’s primary benefit. Benefits to Widows Widows with minor children—sur vivors of insured workers who died since January 1, 1940—also receive monthly old-age and survivors in surance benefits. In the Wilmington service area there are 33 widows now receiving monthly payments, with 102 children receiving monthly benefits. Most of the boys and girls are the children of widows who are also receiving monthly benefits provided by the Social Security Act for survivors of Insured wage earn ers. Some of the young recipients orphans who are receiving EU1. insurance payments because fathers or mothers who died jn 41 were fully insured under the!’ cial Security Act. Some are the v dren, step-children, or adopted •! dren of retired workers wh0 w claimed benefits for themselves j-! their dependents. In addition to these monthly n-| ments, lump-sum death pnyme--' have been made in this area in ca5J where insured workers died J* January 1, 1940, leaving no g lrvj^ entitled to monthly benet'its Regarding survivors insurance v Jeffrey said that when an ins'„* worker dies, leaving a widow ^ minor children, monthly pajw of survivors insurance are made his widow and to his children are under age 16 CJ8 if in school The widow who has children uni» age 18 in her care receives this fourths of the amount of her hoi band’s primary insurance beneb and each of these minor child* receives one-half of his primary j. surance benefit.
