A 3—ANAHEIM GAZETTE Anaheim, Calif., Thurs. Dec. 23, 1954 Church Circles Hold Bi-Annual Dinner Mrs. Joe Thompson one evening last week presented a special reading of Marian Brandon's "The First Sign," at a joint Christmas meeting of the Jean and Isabel circles of White Temple Methodist church. Mrs. Thompson was introduced by Holly Heller, program chairman. Since the two circles meet together only twice a year, the social hour was especially enjoyed. Hostesses were Holly Heller, Polly Mahaffey, Meryle Osborn and Jackie Mesnard. The meeting was held in the church parlor. The I.O.O.F. Encampment Christmas party will be held at the I.O.O.F. hall on Christmas Eve at 8 o'clock. Seasons Justing Many are our wishes for you this Christmas ... health, happiness and all the things you need. Certain Social Security Benefits Are Refroactive Some widows or children whose husbands or fathers died before Sept. 1, 1950, may be eligible for Social Security payments now, even if they were once turned down as ineligible. This benefit is worth looking into, especially by the survivors of deceased veterans, according to Ben Liebermann, Orange County Veterans Service Officer. Under the new amendments to the Social Security Act, just one and a half years of employment covered by the law may be enough to create benefits for a deceased worker's survivors, whereas longer employment may have formerly been required. What makes this important to veteran's dependents is the fact that each month's service in the armed forces is considered the same as earning $160 in monthly wages. Veterans who formerly did not show enough "earning time" as defined by the Social Security Law, and who died after June 30, 1940, and before Sept. 1, 1950, might now be considered fully insured in certain cases, and their surviving unmarried widows, children under 18, as well as dependent parents, might be entitled to Social Security payments, if all other requirements are met. Since the law is not easy to interpret, and each case must be considered individually, persons who think they might be eligible should inquire at the nearest Social Security Office.

There is really only one way to find out whether you qualify under the new law, and that is to go in and ask. Payments cannot be started until they are applied for. It won't hurt to investigate.

THE AMERICAN WAY "The first and almost the only book deserving of universal attention is the Bible. I speak as a man of the world—and I say to you, Search the Scriptures" BIBLE JOHN QUINCY ADAMS Search The Scriptures Building of New Steam-Electric Plant Scheduled Junior Leaguers Wrap Gifts For Needy Families A bundle of toys to be wrapped Gas Co. Expects 24,000 More Meter In Orange County Southern Counties Gas Co. expects to add 24,000 new meter areas served by its Orange city division in 1955 and has getted a whopping $4,998,340 the year to serve its local customers. Justin M. Kennedy, divi- manager, announced today. The amount of money budget for Orange county is by far largest for any of the gas company's eight operating divisions. Kennedy said and is more one-third of the company's tire 1955 budget of $13,593,747. Largest item in the Orange county division budget, $4,230 is for connecting and serving new customers. Kennedy adds. He explained costs of service customers have increased. In the company expects to spend to connect each new consumer whereas in 1940 it cost only to hook up a similar customer. Other major items in the budget, Kennedy added, are $000 for main replacements, $ Building of New Steam-Electric Plant Scheduled Southern California Edison Company will begin construction immediately of the first $24,000,000 unit of its Alamitos steam-electric generating station, according to James F. Davenport, Edison Company vice-president and general manager. This is the fifth steam station to be built by the company since 1946. The Alamitos Steam Station will provide additional electricity for one of the fastest growing areas in the world—eastern Long Beach and the adjacent Los Angeles County and Orange County areas. Indicative of the growth of Southern California which has been paced by this area, last year more than 74,000 new electric meters were added to Edison lines—a new record. This year approximately 78,000 meters will be added, which emphasizes again the fact that Edison has gained more new customers since 1949 than any other electric utility in the nation. Since 1945 the company has spent considerably more than half a billion dollars for plant expansion, and these new supplies of electric power and new electric facilities have helped make possible this area's tremendous growth and development. Initially the plant will contain one 156,000 kilowatt generating unit of the most modern design, equipped with the latest electrical and mechanical apparatus for high efficiency generation and combustion. Either oil or gas will be utilized as fuel. Plans call for the eventual installation of four such 156,000 kilowatt units. Grading at the site has been in progress and foundation exploration is now under way. It is planned that the first unit of the new plant will be in service late in 1956.
