One of the surprises of the evening was the "German" band composed of Bob Hansfield, James Stewart, and Bob Campbell. Playing the clarinet, cornet, and drums, respectively, the boys presented several good swing tunes. Two piano solos by Lois Smith, with some accordion selections by Betty McCulloch, and a reading depicting the behavior of a girl in Sunday school, by Kay Wilson, were the final numbers. Three short movies followed the "vaudeville" developing the interesting history of radio, the sport of high diving, and a romance comedy with Phil Harris. Following the program in the auditorium, the group assembled in the girl's gym for refreshments and dancing. With approximately 350 students attending the reception, recognition should be given to chief sophomore class adviser, Miss Barnes. Miss Virginia Huff and Marie Ward arranged the refreshments. Miss Jester and Noel Sweeney planned the program while Harold Burden, class adviser, and Dick Alden formed the decoration committee. Mr. and Mrs. J. A.

Young from the U.S. weather bureau office in Pomona starting at 8:30 o'clock on the evening of November 15; it has been announced. Arrangements have been completed for the nightly broadcast to go out over the Don Lee radio stations that handled this service last year. Nearby stations releasing the warnings are KVOE, Santa Ana, and KIJJ, Los Angeles. The broadcast at 8:30 o'clock should be early enough to guide the growers in their control measures, but at the same time allow Young to summarize the telephoned reports from the 87 frost stations. If it becomes necessary to make emergency frost warnings earlier in the evening every attempt will be made to provide that service.

By WARREN BAYLEY PERSHING-PARK, LACLEDE, MISSOURI—Just why it is not the policy of our government to honor its outstanding citizens while they are still alive is something I do not know. That such was the policy—I am positive. Some eight years ago the citizens of Missouri together with many civic organizations throughout the country endeavored to establish a National Military Park here at Laclede in honor of General Pershing, this being his home town. The general sentiment of the people as a whole was behind the idea but a bill to appropriate the necessary funds was voted down in the upper house of congress. Repeated inquiries brought only the information that it was against the government's policy. Not to be thwarted, the state of Missouri recently purchased the ground, 1800 acres, and named it Pershing State Park. As yet it is undeveloped but 200 C. C. C. boys will soon be on the job and in a couple of years the transformation will be complete. While checking into the park business I dropped into the office of the Laclede newspaper, owned and operated by A. J. Caywood. Caywood is 75 years of age, has operated this one paper for 50 years come next May, has been a personal friend of the general since boyhood and possesses-what is probably the most complete file of the general's accomplishments to be found in this country. In looking back through his files I ran across a couple of items that will stand repeating. One was a statement made by the general at the age of 23 year then a second lieutenant. He said to a friend, "I guess I will have take to the study of law who get through at West Point. This will be no more wars . . . what a thing of the past." The other was an incident happened when Pershing started out as a young teacher. This incident was paired responsible for his home school board. Pershing wanted to be a teacher of that school. He started-to drive out to Capenley's house, Dr. Spurgeon sent him. "Better take off your kid gloves before you go in," advised Dr. Spurgeon, "it's wise and your hands won't get cold." Pershing laughed but followed directions. Captain Henley stitized his letter of recommendation and asked some questions which Pershing answered factually. "Well, young man," said Captenley, "you seem to be well up in what a teacher needs to know, and this letter from Spurgeon is good. I reckon appoint you . . . but you mighty near losing out. But one thing a young man Brockfield who was here yesterday would have got the job." O. H.

E. C. Burnett, Long Beach manager of the Social Security board. Returning from a regional conby bringing bank employees and seamen under the law as of next January 1 while workers beyond age 65, not covered under the original act, are now under the law and may upon meeting the requirements be able to claim a monthly payment." Burnett said that a worker who has attained age 65 will be eligible Start to be Paid After January 1 Preliminary plans for paying monthly benefits after next January 1 to persons who meet the requirements of the federal old-age and survivors insurance program were announced Monday by C. E. C. Burnett, Long Beach manager of the Social Security board. Returning from a regional conference of Social Security board managers in San Francisco, Burnett explained that the payment of benefits to workers who attain age 65 and also to the dependents of workers who die after next January 1 is in accordance with amendments to the federal social security act passed by congress almost three months ago. These amendments advanced the payment of benefits two years and also extended protection of the social security act to aged wives, widows, dependent children and dependent parents of persons who have worked a sufficient amount of time and have made sufficient earnings from employments covered by the law," Burnett said. "The amended program is properly described as an 'old-age and survivors insurance Plan' because it not only provides protection to the worker at age 65 or at such time thereafter he retires, but it also gives continuing protection throughout his working life to his family dependents if he should die before attaining the retirement age. "Benefits under the amended law are more liberal than under the act passed in 1935. Coverage of the act has also been extended by bringing bank employees and seamen under the law as of next January 1 while workers beyond age 65, not covered under the original act, are now under the law and may upon meeting the requirements be able to claim a monthly payment." Burnett said that a worker who has attained age 65 will be eligible for monthly benefits on next January 1 if he chooses to retire and meets the following requirements: (I) he must have been employed in at least six calendar quarters between January 1, 1937 and January 1, 1940 at employments covered by the law and (2) he must have earned at least $50 in each calendar quarter. If this worker has a wife who is 65 or more, the monthly benefit will be increased by one-half. Benefits will be based on the average monthly wage of the worker between January 1, 1937 and date of attainment of 65 or retirement. Thousands of claims have already been settled with workers who have attained age 65, the settlements having been a lump sum as specified in the original act. Within a few weeks, Burnett said, these persons will receive notice that their social security accounts may be re-opened and they may apply for the monthly payment if they meet the minimum requirements. The amount of the former settlement will however, be deducted from the monthly annuity payable upon retirement. Burnett said that application forms for benefits under the amended act would probably be available about December 1. The entire world has only about $110,000,000,000 in money in circulation.
