My columns haven’t been in the paper for the past few months and am sorry about this. However, it is difficult trying to write columns when I have no items of news to write about. I have asked you William Penn members to keep me posted on items of interest — weddings, anniversaries, etc., but I do not get much response. How about a little more cooperation so that I can make my columns as interesting as possible ?! I will really appreciate it. Just call me at HU. 6-1160, or HU. 8-5392, and I will be glad to put your items in the paper. Let’s go, members!

Branch 129 has lost a real friend and loyal member in the passing of Mickey Kovach. He was a friend of everyone and a loyal William Penn Member, taking part in the affairs of his club. He and his wife Henrietta liked to dance and could be found many a night dancing at the club. He thoroughly enjoyed people, especially children, and my daughters loved him because he was never too busy to stop to talk to them. There will be an empty space on his bowling team, too, as Mickey liked bowling and could be found every Friday night bowling with the men. He was a devoted husband and whereever you saw Mickey, Henrietta was always there, too. Those left in mourning are his devoted wife, Henrietta, his mother, sister and brothers, and many friends.

God has called you home, dear Micky

To a better land we know,

Your absence will be sadly missed

By those who loved you so.

You will always be remembered

For your friendliness and smile, May you find the peace in heaven

That on earth you made worth while

I know this item is a few months late. However, I do want to say what a huge success the bowling tournament was in Pittsburgh. I especially want to thank the Springdale, Pennsylvania William Penn Home for its true hospitality shown to our Columbus, Ohio group. We all enjoyed the delicious meals that Were served and the American and Hungarian music was delightful. We all enjoyed the dancing so much that we were sorry to see the evening come to an end. The Knaver Group from East Chicago, Indiana helped to make the evening even, more of a success and it was nice to renew old acquaintances with them. May I say, “Elio Dere,” and to say I hope to see them next year. Also I want to say congratulations to the bowlers from Columbus who were winners in the tournament. I do not think we had as many winners this year as last year, but Columbus always manages to come in for its share of winnings.

I hope these tournaments continue and on the same basis as they have been. For some, it is the only vacation they have and something to look forward to and bowl for. I, for one, am not for the changes that are being contemplated by the Home Office. Why bowl at all if competition comes from your local area and

state only? That’s the best part of the tournament — meeting the diff e r e n t teams from the different states and making new friends. As for the great distances that some teams have to travel, that [, jes for all the teams. Regardless of where the convention is held, some teams will always have a greater distance to travel than others, and I don’t believe they mind it. Again I hope the tournaments continue on the same basis as in the past. All whom I have talked to so far, agree with me.

Branch 129 held its annual picnic the last of July and it was a successful outing. Of course we had to fight the elements (it always rains on a picnic). However, it didn’t dampen the spirits of the crowd and dancing and merriment went on; nevertheless. I still say we should have more picnics. They are much fun.

Have you thought about your insurance lately?

Lou says:

“Protect your children the

safest way,

Insure with WILLIAM PENN AND

DO IT TODAY.”

Do you carry insurance on yourself and family? — Do you have enough insurance to cover yourself and family in case something should happen? These are two very important questions to ask yourself. Most people today do not take insurance seriously until something unforseen happens and then it is too late. Don’t let this happen to you — Be fully covered whenever and wherever you go. Have peace of mind in knowing that your family is fully protected. CALL LOU TOKÁR TODAY — HI. 3-7797 or HI. 4-2760 — and he will be happy to explain the excellent William Penn policies to you. Be sure to inquire about the HOSPITALIZATION PLAN that WILLIAM PENN offers you. No one can afford to be without hospitalization today, and there is no better policy than WILLIAM PENN. When you insure with “WILLIAM PENN, YOU INSURE WITH THE BEST.” CALL LOU TODAY!

Get Social Security Benefits Faster

Persons planning to call on the Social Security office for the purpose of filing a claim for benefits can speed the delivery of their first check by bringing the necessary evidence with them on their initial visit.

When an application for benefits is filed, certain evidence is required to support the claim. The kind of evidence that will be needed varies with the type of claim that is filed. If the claimant brings the necessary evidence with him when he makes his initial visit to the office, his claim will be processed faster and his checks will start coming to him sooner. The following guides are furnished to assist area residents in getting prompter action on their claims.

RETIREMENT BENEFITS

(Retirement Age For Males is 65;

For Females it is 62)

A person who intends to file a claim for old-age or retirement benefits should bring with him:

1. His social security card or account number.

2. Some proof of his age if readily available. A birth certificate is the best evidence. Other types of evidence which may be submitted for consideration are baptismal certificates, insurance policies, family Bible, etc.

3. Some proof of age for his or her spouse if such person also intends to file a claim on the worker’s account.

4. Some proof of age for all children under 18 or a disabled child of any age.

5. Proof of 1960 earnings. If the retired person worked for wages during I960 his Form W-2, Withholding Statement, for that year will be needed. If he worked for more than one employer in 1960 a Form W-2 for each employer will be' required. If the retired person was self-employed during 1960, he will need to present a true and exact copy of the 1960 Federal Income Tax Return including Schedule C, Report of Profit (Or Loss) From Business or Profession, which he filed with the Director of Internal Revenue. Some proof that taxes for 1960 have been paid to Internal Revenue will

also be required. (Internal Revenue receipt, cancelled check, etc.)

SURVIVORS BENEFITS

A person who intends to file a: claim for survivors monthly benefits should bring:

1. Deceased person’s social security card or account number.

2. Form W-2, Withholding Statement, for 1960 for each employer for whom the deceased worked in that year. If the deceased was self-1 temployed in 1960, a copy of his Federal Income Tax Return for that year together with evidence of tax payment will be required.

3. Proof of marriage if the claim-4 ant is the widow of the deceased.

4. Proof of age for all children of the deceased who are under 18 years of age, and for any disabled child of any age.

5. Proof of age for the widow if she is 62 or over.

DISABILITY BENEFITS (At Any Age)

A person who intends to file a claim for monthly disability benefits should bring:

1. His social security card or account number.

2. Any correspondence or document which he may possess from any Federal or State Agency (Veterans Administration, Workmen’s Compensation, etc.) which refers to his disability.

In addition to the above the claimant should come prepared to furnish information as to:

a. The exact date he became unable to work due to his disability.

b. Names and addresses of doctors and hospitals who treated him and the dates of such treatment.

c. His employment history for the ten years preceding the date he became unable to work.

It is suggested that these guides be retained by all individuals who read them. If they are placed in a safe place (with insurance policies, etc.), the person planning a visit to the Social Security office at some later date can than refer to them and bring the necessary evidence with him on his initial call. This will avoid delay in the processing of his claim and result in earlier receipt of benefit payments.
