Regular Army Re serve Re-established In 4th Corps Area Of Eight States Major General George Van Horn Moseley, Commanding the Fourth Corps Area, which com prises the eight Southeastern States of Alabama, Florida, Geor gia, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Tennessee, announces the rees tablishment of the Regular Army Reserve, effective July 1, 1933. The reorganization of the Regu lar Army Reserve, authorized by the present Congress, has been sought by the War Department for many years and the enact ment of this legislation is con sidered a very important addition to the National Defense Act. The Regular Army Reserve is to be composed entirely of unmar ried men under 36 years of age at time of enrollment and who have served at least one year continu ously in the Regular Army and have been honorably discharged therefrom within the last three years. Enlistments in the Regular Army Reserve will be voluntary and will be for a period of 4 years. The Reservist will receive $24.00 per year, payable in installments for each 4 month period com mencing with date of enlistment. While serving in the Reserve, a member may be ordered to active duty only in case of an emergency declared by the President of the United States. Should such an emergency occur, the Reservist will be furnished transportation and subsistence allowances at Government expense from his home to the place where he is ordered for active duty. If found fully qualified for active service, the Reservist will receive an ad ditional allowance of $3.00 per month for each month already served in the Reserve, up to date of acceptance for active duty, provided such payment does not exceed $150.00. While on active duty, a Reservist will be placed on the same status and receive the same pay and al lowances as are provided by law for enlisted men of the Regular Army. Initially, all members of the Reserve will be ordered to active duty in the grade of Pri vate. However, a former lon- ccmmissioned cfficer of the Reg ular Army or a trained Specialist, would experience little difficulty in obtaining at least the highest grade formerly held in the Regu lar Army, as his records would clearly indicate his qualifications and former attainments. Each Former Service man who possesses the desired qualifica tions is urged to apply at the nearest Army Post or United States Army Recruiting Station, where he will be furnished with full information concerning en listment. The Reserve offers a former soldier exceptional oppor tunities of keeping in touch with the Army and insures the young man of the quickest means of do ing his bit in the event of an emergency.

Several provisions are written in the state act to safeguard the rights of workers. These include a~ provision that if a worker’s claim for benefits is denied for any reason he may appeal to a i special tribunal, and that if he is still dissatisfied, he may carry his case to the regular courts of the state. The worker will be disqualified for benefits for refusing to accept suitable work offered him, but at the same time, the commission, in Federal Old-Age Insurance retire- determining whether the work a- men t benefits.

No unemployed worker’s claim for benefits shall be denied be cause he refuses to accept a job that is open on account of a strike, lockout or ether labor dis pute; nor a job with hours, wages, and working conditions substan tially less favorable than those prevailing for similar work in the locality, or a job where the worker would be required to join a com pany union or to resign from or refrain from joining a bona fide labor organization. All claims for benefits will be filed by workers at the nearest free public employment offices. Unemployed workers whose ’ormer employers contributed to the state unemployment compen sation fund will be eligible for jenefits if they meet other re quirements of the law.

Bureau of Old-Age Insurance, 502 Hodges Building, Green wood, South Carolina.) ♦ Whenever the term “wages” >s used, it refers to wages for services ’v rfonr.ed after 1936, and before the age of 65 in included employ ment. ) Q. What is meant by “excepted employment? I am told chat farming is “excepted”. A. Do not be misled by the words “excepted employment”. Generally speaking, all employ ment in commerce and industry comes under the Act. No person ii excepted; only certain employ ments are excepted. Q. I am a salesman and wil soon be 65. Will I have to retire to receive an old-age benefit? A. A person must retire from an included employment in order to receive monthly retirement bene fits, which will begin in 1942. However, if you reach 65 before 1942, you will not have to retire to receive a lump-sum payment. Q. I want to buy a Federal Old- Age retirement policy for :ny wife. She is not working, except at home, and so does not have a So cial Security card. May I buy a policy for her? Please give me in formation on the rates, etc. A. Federal Old-Age Insurance benefits are not purchasable. They are payable only to employees in covered employments who :neel the specified requirements. Q. Is the family of a man who died recently enAcled to anything if he was not working at the time cf his death? He was a garage mechanic and had not worked in about six months. He had a So cial Security Card. A. His family is entitled to s death payment equal to 3 1-2 pe. :ent of his total wages for services it the garage or other covered employment since December 31. 936.

As a rule, when the white man invades the territories of the primitive men, death fol lows quickly among the native Q.

This is: true in the islands which dot the dreamy Pacific Ocean, of the Esquimaux in the frozen north, with the African races and among the original inhabitants of Aus tralia and New Zealand. At one period in our history it seemed as if it would be only a matter of a. few years before the Indian would ^ease to exist, so readily and easi ly did he succumb to the white man’s diseases. New Indian Medicine Today however the tide has turned and the Indian population jf the country is gaining. A re- ient report shows that seventy- five years ago there were less than 10,000 Navajos in the West, while to-day there are more than 43,000 of this race. There also have been proportional increases in all Indian tribes. This is due to the fact that American doctors working among them, with the aid of hospitals, properly equips ped, and up to date methods of treatment have stopped the ad*< vance of numerous diseases. De spite the educated youths of the many Indian tribes, progress is materially handicapped due to> their superstitious ancestors, and) for this reason there is a lack of genuine co-operation.
