GREATER (KNOWLEDGE OF SOCIAL SECURITY BENEFITS ARE NEEDED Newspaper clippings are often Ike keys that unlock the door to aabetantial social security payments for young widows and their aMMren, according to Bernard Bnnett, manager of the • Waukepi office of the. Social Security Adsstnistratlon. Few days pass daring which his Ulee fails to receive one or more •ttters enclosing a clipping from %jaffly or weekly newspaper. In atfcer instances the widow brings the clipipng to the office. What she wants to know is, "Doee this •ean me? Can I get benefitsV In a high percentage of these inatances the social security office la able to tell her, "It does mean £ jam. You can get benefits for - yourself and your children." Mr. Barnett said his office had , long recommended that evry worker tell his family about the survivors' benefit in the Social Security Act and that the family get • in touch with the nearest office In case of the worker's death. There are still, however, a very aabetantial number of widows aad other survivors who do not realize their rights until a newspaper item calls social security to *their attention. "Social security," Mr. Barnett concluded, "can do the greatest good for the greatest number of people, when everyone has a full uderstanding of his rights and Unties under the law. The news- . papers of this ataa are playing a vary important part in making this general public understanding possible. > Dinner gaftsts Sunday la the M. •L Schoenholtz home were Mr. •ad Mrs. Ben Freund, daughter, Dorla, and son, Loren, and Mr. Mi Mrs. Stanley Freund of Johnshaag; Mr. and Mrs. Art Jackson and son of McHenry and Mr. and lbs.

GANGER DINE INTEREST IN COMMUNITY n*ht Dntd DUitM Which Takss A Lift Every Throe Minnies One of' the latest campaigns to be undertaken In McHenry township, this time against dreaded cancer, is progressing nicety, according to Mrs. George Bar Man, local chairman, and her captalna in the various small commualtlea. No definite figurea will be releaaed until the close of the drive. The county chapter of Ahe Illnois division of the American Cancer Society, Inc.. was organized last year, with C. Russell Allen appointed executive committee chairman. The drive for fa*»*« *s being undertaken so that proceeds may be used for research, education and service, the society having been formed aa a voluntary agency dedicated to attack cancer In the above ways. Today we know that cancer can be curbed. Statistics tell ns that almost one-third of all cancer patients can be cured if treated in time. , We know that every three minutes someone dies of cancer; that 188,000 Americans will die of cancer in 1949; that cancer strikes on the average one out of every two homes, rich and poor alike. Thus, when you give to conquer this terrible disease, you give to save those in your own home and the home next door. Under the direction of the nation's leading scientists, hundreds of research projects are under way in our greatest medical and educational institutions. Probing, searching, testing scientists are devoting their lives to the cause of finding a cure for cancer. The service program is designed to provide a source of public information concerning cancer and the facilities available in our own vicinity for the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of cancer. Help this worthy cause today. Contribute toward the cancer campaign today, either through the containers which are in most local stores or directly to the drive chairman, Mrs. Barbian. McHenry's quota in the drive has been set at $400. Other quotas are aa follows: Woodstock, $1,200; Crystal Lake, $800; Ridgefield, $26; Harvard. $000; Marengo, $200; Algonquin, $200; Fox River Grove, $100; Cary, $100; Huntley, $100; Hebron, $100; Richmond, $100; Union, $S0, and Alden, $26. It la the desire of C. Russell Allen, chairman of the executive committee ot the coaaty chapter, who aaaoaaoad the varioas quotas, that the drive close May 16. Thus It is imperative that this community make every effort to contribute at once so that the entire quota may be met and funds forwarded to headquarters.
