S! enlisting for minority are automatically discharged when thpy 1 reach the age of 21. i Applicants in the age group 18 ; to 30 inclusive may now be en! listed for either two, three, four or six years. Chief Brown also announced that men over 30 will be eligible for enlistment in the Regular Navy if their total previous military or naval service or active service in the Naval Reserve deducted from their present age place them in the 18-30 group. Ratings for which first enlist-1 merits in the Regular Navy may i be made by men without previous ! military or naval service are: ap- j p:entice seamen, hospital appren- j tice, second class; stewards mate, j third class, and seaman, first | class (radio technician) only. Offering men the option of I electing two, three, four or six j year terms of service is expected to accelerate still further the current brisk rate of voluntary enlistments in the Regular Navy. Out of a total of 32,511 voluntary j enlistments in the months of : August and September, 17.9771 were for the Regular Navy. This does not include change-over s j within the service from the U. ! S. Naval Reserve to tire Regular, Establishment. Incomplete re-1 ports show that more than 9,000 of these men have switched to USN in the same period. The Navy's voluntary enlistments for 1945 through September total 252,354, most of which are for the V. S. Naval Reserve where they are committeed to ret ve orr active duty for the dura-' tlon of the war plus six months, unless sooner discharged. Apart | for USNR, the Regular Navy's | need is estimated at 24.00 a j month for the next ten months, j Other new and attractive in-1 ducements for men considering i the Regular Navy are provided j in the Voluntary Recruitment j Act of 1945 just passed by Con- j gress and signed by President ' Truman.

If the deceased wage earner's record | shows that he worked during 171 of those quarters (half of 34) [ and earned $50 or more in each i of the quarters, he is said to be "fully insured." A widow, age 65 or over, is eligible for monthly payments of Old-Age and Survivors Insurance if her husband was fully insured when he died. Retired wage earners must be fully insured in order to receive benefits. In some cases, aged parents, who survive fully insured wage earners, are eligible for benefits. These are men and women, 65 years old or more, who were dependent upon the deceased son or daughter, at the time the wage earner died? fully insured.

"The United States now has 1 the most powerful Navy the world has ever seen. But. the ' Navy's job did not end with the surrender of Japan. There's still a big job to be done. The Navy i must police the seas and supply our faraway bases if we expect to win the peace. More and 1 ' more men are needed to man the peacetime Navy and replace men who have seen long war service.

Area Receiving ; Death Benefits Avera Points Out Advantages Accruing To Per: soris From Social Security In the Wilmington Area there 'are 266 widows, with minor! children, who are receiving benefits by reason of the fact that the deceased husband in each , case was "currently insured" tin- J ; dcr the Social Security Act. N. A. Avera, manager of the j Wilmington, N. C., field office j explained that: special provision is made for the widow of a wage earner who has young children: in her carc. The man. who has j worked in covered employment, at least part of the time, in each of six calendar quarters (earning not less than $50 in each quarter) during the past 12 quarters (3 years) of his life, and dies leaving a widow with one or mere of his children, under 18. is said to be "currently insured." , His widow and children may i claim monthly benefits under the Social Security Act, just the same as thought he had died "fully insured." In case a worker, who was currently insured (or fully insured 1 i dies, leaving no survivor entitled ; to monthly benefits, a lump-sum death payment can be made to' certain relatives, or to the person ; who paid the funeral expenses, j Payments to any other class of j recipients aie based upon wage records of workers who were fully insured. A fully insured worker is one who was employed in a job. covered by the law, for some time in at least half of the calendar quarters elapsing between January 1. 1937 (when the law, went into effect) and the quar- j ter in which he died or reached age 63. For example: take the case of a worker, who died in September of this year. Between T.^nl.n..*. 1 IfllT -?.l * - I T, SOUTHPORT, N.
