C., Field office for the old-are Insurance bureau of the Social Security board, returned a few days ago from Birmingham. Alabama, where he conferred with regional officials, and with representatives of the Bureau of Old-Age Insurance from Washington In regard to administration of the oldage insurance provisions of the Social Security act. Mr. Modre reports that considerable time was given by Washington and j Regional officials to the discussion of | claims for lump-sum payments of ben- j eflts, which are now being made to j Jiersons who are entitled to such heneflts. Mr. Moore explained that there are two types of lump-sum payments that can be made at any time after January 1, 1937. Qne Is the death benefit which the Federal government is paying to relatives of workers who have died since the first of this year, and whose wage-earnings after the last day of December. 1936, and before their death entitled them to benefits. The other type of lump-sum benefit,' now payable, is for the eligible Worker who has reached the age of 65 since th?? first of January. 1937. Tn the Stale of South Carolina, 247 claims have been filed with local field managers and sent to Washington for adjudication and then forwarded to tile United States Treasury department for payment. "A total of $3,263.55 lias been paid to claiments In South Carolina, since the first of the year, 1937," said Mr. Moore, but there is still some money in the treasury, waiting for many 65-year-old wageearners in this state, or for relatives of deceased workers who are entitledto payment, but have not as yet filed claims. When asked the question. "How would you go about filing a claim for lump-sum payment of old-age insurance?" Mr. Moore replied. "The first thing you do is to obtain an application blank upon which you write the information the Social Security board will need In order to approve and certify your claim. This form can be secured at any office of the Social Security board. You either write to the manager telling him why you are entitled to payment and ask him to send you a suitable application form; or, if you prefer, you can go to the nearest field office of the Social Security board and pfT out the form while you are there. Some one In the office will be glad to give you any assistance you desire." Mr Moore said emphatically that the old-age insurance benefits nowpayable are based on wage-earnings of certain employees and have nothing whatever to do with charity or relief money Jane Shattuck Topping, society g!"! of New York, on Tuesday made an unofficial flight from Detroit to New, York tn two hours and 20 minutes? flying at an altitude of 13,000 feet? well above the clouds.

"One may be excused for inquisitiveness, tonight," Celia led Ann, her roommate onto the porch, "Thi| house, outside, looke gloomy but no more than is nhy heart. I'll admit being disappointed because of no opening, after Our Hinging audition over WGQ this afternoon," Celia, slipping to a side door, with Ann, began singing Christmas carols. A door opened and a dignified woman said: "Come inside, girls, and sing. I'm Mrs, Ashby. There's q piano, not opened since1 Beulah?" "We'll sing if you join us," Celia answered. After singing, Celia told of ambitions for her voice and of the afternoon's disappointment. "Girls, you have given me a happy pre-Christmas eve and birthday, as well. Many of my club members have birthdays at. this season. Please come again, tonight, if you wish. You're across the street." Celia and Ann, at home; were eating, when, answering the telephone, Celia swung Ann around into dizziness. "We're to report for a program tomorrow afternoon over WGQ! Someone not filling engagement! We'll practice on Mrs. Ashby/s piano. Let's decorate her windows with these wreaths," Celia cried. During the Christmas day program, dedicated to those with birthdays of the season, when Mrs. Ashby's name was mentioned, the announcer said: "Mrs. Ashby will enjoy this program. She called us last evening ?asked that you girls sing for birthdays of her club membersother members asked for you, too. Mrs. Ashby travels, gives of time and money to a shut-in club of which she is national president. Her daughter is the wife of a famed doctor in India. You probably will have a permanent program for birthdays of listeners." "Maybe that house interested me because, even through boards and! stone, human kindness, character, j oozes through. Her windows look pretty, though, with our wreaths," Celia told Ann. ? Western Newspaper Union. GARDENS SUPJPtYNMPPJP VITAMIN8 AND MINERALS n Clemson, Dec. 4.?Health values lying In vitamin and mineral content are real reasons for growing a garden and eating fresh vegetables, says A. E. Schllletter, extension horticulturist, advising farm folk, to begin early preparing for better home gardens in 1938. "We must nave calcium and phosphorus to build good bones and teeth,'-' the horticulturist explains. "Iron is on the required list for the sake of good red blood. Vitamins are ~ the mysterious elements that stimulate the body to use its building ma* curiam. Vegetables can help io suj* ply the most essential minerals and all but one of the I t known vitamins necessary for health and growth. > Vitamin A helps to keep us in good general condition at all ages. If we don't get a regular supply we're wideopen tv. certain infections Vitamin B, sometimes called the "appetite vitamin," keeps up our interest in food and keeps up the ability of our muscles to handle it. Without enough Vitamin B In the diet we're likely to ose interest in life, become generally sluggish and irritable. Vitamin C aids in the tight against scurvy. Many people lose appetite and weight and 1 feel fatigued, think they have rheuma- J tlsm, and visit the dentist oftener than they think they should have to. 1 All these signB point to lack of Vitamin C. Vitamin E, the "anti-sterility" vitamin, comes In sufficient amounts along with any diet which Is otherwise adequate In green vegetables and whole grains. Vitamin O, famous in the study of pellagra, helpB to j keep ub well at all ages, prevents the Blowing-up of growth, loss of weight, and too-early signs of old age. Iron Is essential in the development and maintenance of good red blood, and calcium is essential to build good bones and teeth.

IN THE HOME ji Vwv^vn^a^a^vvvsaa^^s^^^vv%a} i CHRISTMAS festivities are likely to be much more f un ! when the whole family helps, says the New York state college of j home economics. The older children are always eager to trim the Christmas tree, collect Christmas greens, and make wreaths. Often they have good ideas on how to arrange these holiday decorations. Because these tasks are unusual they have a special appeal, but with the right encouragement from father or mother even the more routine work may seem a part of the general familysharing at Christmas. Big brother and sister can be a help if they show their small broth-1 er or sister how to help in odd carpentering jobs that come with Christmas. If mother is busy, older brothers or sisters can help the youngsters to dress or get ready for bed. What can the small members of the family do? Little Johnny or tiny Mary can cut out gingerbread men and other fancy shaped cookies, which mother will lift onto the baking sheet. Father will also be pleased to know how well his small son or daughter can find his tools, cut the string used to wind the Christmas wreath when both of father's hands are busy, or to help with other preparations. One thing father and mother should remember is to watch for I signs of fatigue or nervous strain in the younger children. They should not ask the children to do too many or too difficult tasks. !. MEANING OF "NOEL" "XJOEL" is the Frehch name I of the Christmas feast and j of the old carols formerly sung in !! the French country churches at ; this season. Its derivation is ! from the Latin "natalis," mean- 1 ing "born," and the word was "originally shouted or sung to ex press joy over the birth of Christ. 1 With the spelling "Nowcl" it is j found in Chaucer and other early writers. * >.
