npt affect the disabled worker’s
social security account.
I should like to mention one
fact about the disability provision
which may be misunderstood at
first. The disability “freeze" is
not disability insurance. A person
must be disabled to apply for the
“freeze", but he can not receive
social security benefits until he
vision in the social security law,
the worker, who became disabled
after a long record of contribution
to the labor force of the nation,
may have lost his insured status.
This would have been possible un
der the old law because the en :
tire period of his disability was
included in the time which was
the basis for determining his in
sured status. Or if the disabled
individual didn’t lose his insured
status, the period of his total dis
ability during which,he was earn
ing no wages would greatly reduce
his average monthly wage. And it
is upon the average monthly wage
that the benefit amount is com
puted.
The 1954 amendment with the
special disability freeze wap de
signed to correct the cut in bene
fits and the loss of insured status.
It is a provision for those who
have a long record of attachment
to the nation’s labor force. For
this reason there is a requirement
that the disabled person must
have worked under social secur
ity for at least five years. These
five years must have been during
the ten years right before the dis
ability began. And one and a half
of the five years must have been
during the three right before the
disability began.
Any worker who, after meeting
the qualifications just described,
becomes totally disabled by ill-
retires at age 65 or later. Then he
will find he will not receive reduc- ness, injury, or other physical or
ed benefit amounts because his
wage record has been frozen dur
ing the years in which he was un
able to perform any gainful work.
Before the 1954 disability pro-

mental impairment which is Ex
pected to be of long and infedi-
nite duration, which is medically
determined, and which has lasted
for at least six months is eligible
for the disability freeze. This
means that his wage record for
the period of his disability will be
frozen and not couuted against him
in figuring his insured status, and
the amount of his future benefits.
The provision goes Into effect

on January 1, 1955, and that is the
first day that a disabled worker
may apply for the “freeze". The
disability freeze cannot be applied
in cases where the worker has
died or is no longer disabled at
the time of application. Because of
this, it is to the worker’s advan
tage to apply for the freeze as soon
as his disability begins. After a
disability has been in effect for at
least six monhs, it may be medi
cally determined for purposes of
the “freeze."
The disability freeze will not be
applied in figuring benefits which
are paid to survivors of disabled
workers who die before July 1,
1965. If a worker is declared dis
abled, July 1955, is the first month
in which he can be paid a retire
ment benefit computed with the
exclusion of the period of disabil
ity. And when a worker reaches
age 65, his period of disability will
be considered ended. If the disab
led person applies for the disabil
ity freeze before July, 1957, his
wages will be frozen for a dis-
ility as far back as September,
1941, if he is still disabled at 'the
time of application and if he meets
the work requirements. After July
1957, the disability freeze will ap-
-ply to wages going back only as
far as a year but lasting for the
entire duration of the disability.
After a period of disability has
been excluded from the computa
tion of benefits, the disabled per
son may take the advantage of
the five-year drop-out of low earn
ings. I described how the drop-out
works In a recent article and the
same procedure will apply to the
disabled individual. Along with
protecting the disabled worker’s
insured status and benefit amount,
the freeze will protect the benefit
amount of the survivors arid de
pendents of a qualified disabled
person.
From Lonnie E. Legge, Lewis-
berg, West Virginia: I remember
fifty years ago when the sound of
a bugle brought us children running
from the “little red school house”
to see three Italians leading three
muzzled, trained bears down the
country road. They stopped at the
village store some three hundred
yards away and 4 the te&cher let
us pupils go down to see them
perform.
The two large males were called
Charley and Gus, the other, their
mother, was called Mary. Charley
and Gus rode long poles the men
carried calling it “riding stick
horses." Then they wrestled, addle
a dozen hound dogs kicked up
enough racket to give a grown
man the screaming meemies.
The mother bear climbed a large
chestnut tree which grew beside
my grandfather’s blacksmith shop
and picked chestnuts out of the
open burrs and ate them. She
wouldn’t come down when called,
so two of the men climbed up and
beat her down while the third
snapped the chain on her before
she reached the ground.
These bears seemed to be very
large and of fawn color. To a
great many people, bears mean
black bears. The United States
has but two species inland, the
grizzly and the black—the cinna
mons and browns being actually
black bear. The black is staging
a comeback in a lot of states.
While the grizzly population la just
over 800, the blacks are estimated
at around 126,000. 4
