and farmed it until his wife passed
away.

• Boh'B Sales and Service, Clare* 27tf
The Social Security Act was amended on August 10 to provide survivors'
benefits for dependents of certain
World War H veterans who have
died or will die within a limited period after discharge.
To quality for benefits under the
new law, the survivors of a deceased
veteran must show that the veteran
was iu active military or naval service on or after Sep'tember. 16,** 1940,
and before the official end of the war.
The veteran must have had at least
90 days of service, or, if his service
was less than SO days, it must have
been terminated by reason of a service-connected disability or injury.
The law applies to veterans who die
or have died within three years after
their discharge aud who were discharged within four years and one
day after the termination of the war
as determined by presidential proclamation or declaration of congress.
The veteran must have been discharged from the service under conditions other than dishonorable.
The law does not apply to veterans
who died while in service, lt does
not apply to veterans who were dishonorably discharged from the service. It does not apply to those who
died more than three years after discharge. If survivors are receiving
compensation or pension (compensation or pension does not include government life insurance) from the Veterans Administration, they are not eligible for benefits provided under this
amendment to the social security act.
The law confers upon^the eligibile
veteran a fully insured" status and
guarantees his credit of a minimum
average monthly wage of $160. An
increment year is also provided for
each year or 30 day- or more of service.' The benefits are computed from
the average monthly wage, and each
increment year increase the basic
benefit amount by one percent.
If the qualified veteran leaves a
widow with young children in her
care, she will be eligible to receive a
monthly beuefit. Each_ehild under 16
will be eligible for a monthly benefit
two-thirds the amount of the widow's
benefit. As each child reaches the
age of 18, his benefit will terminate.
When all children have reached their
18th birthday ,anniversary, the wid
ow's benefit will be suspended if she
is under 65 years of agn. When the
widow reaches the age of 65, however, she will be eligible to file again
for benefits, which will continue for
the rest of her lite. The widow, however, will lose all rights to benefits at
any time if she remarries.
If the veteran leaves neither widow
nor child under 18, his parents may
be eligible for benefits if they are 65
years old or more and were dependent
Upon him for support at the time of
his death.

MIDWAY CAFE
AGAIN DAMAGED
BYJIGHT FIRE
Second Blaze Within Vear
Guts Interior of
Building
The Midway Restaurant on East
Fourth Street was seriously damaged
by fire at 3:00 o'clock Tuesday morning in the second fire to break out in
the establishment this year.
Several thousand dollars damage
was done to the restaurant in a fire
early on the morning of Monday, January 21, it was threatened by fire
when the nearby Beale building
burned Thursday morning, January!
29, and Tuesday morning of this week t
fire of unknown origin, which appar-}
ently broke out in the storeroom, I
gutted the interior of the building. I
The fire had made considerable'
headway when discovered hy passers-
by and when brought under control
by the Clare fire department, partitions had been burned away, the music box, booths, gas range, steam tables, large refrigerator, newly purchased dishes and silverware, other
equipment, and the large supply of
provisions kept in the storeroom had
been destroyed, numerous cans of
food having been exploded by the intense heat. Much of the clothing of
Mrs. Glenn Hammond, which was in
the storeroom, was also destroyed.
Mr. and* Mrs. Glenn Hammond, proprietors of the restaurant, had reopened the establishment July 16, after remodeling and repairing following the first fire, and had just nicely
re-established the business when the
second fire practically destroyed the
building and equipment.
Mrs. Hammond left the restaurant
when It closed at 11:00 o'clock and
when employees who worked until
12:00 o'clock, left the building, there
was no indication of fire. The only
gas flames burning, aside from pilot
lights, were in the water heater, and
little damage was done near the heated, dispelling the theory that the fire
was started by a gas explosion.
The damage to the building is estimated at, approximately $3jX)0p -Isntl
although estimates on the damaged
equipment and supplies was not available, this loss will undoubtedly equal
that of the building. The property
was insured.
The Hammonds announced Thurr-
day morning that they would reopen,
the business as soon as availability of
materials would pei'mit,

DESOTO - PLYMOUTH* WILLYS • Boh'B Sales and Service, Clare* 27tf The Social Security Act was amended on August 10 to provide survivors' benefits for dependents of certain World War H veterans who have died or will die within a limited period after discharge. To quality for benefits under the new law, the survivors of a deceased veteran must show that the veteran was iu active military or naval service on or after Sep'tember. 16,** 1940, and before the official end of the war. The veteran must have had at least 90 days of service, or, if his service was less than SO days, it must have been terminated by reason of a service-connected disability or injury. The law applies to veterans who die or have died within three years after their discharge aud who were discharged within four years and one day after the termination of the war as determined by presidential proclamation or declaration of congress. The veteran must have been discharged from the service under conditions other than dishonorable. The law does not apply to veterans who died while in service, lt does not apply to veterans who were dishonorably discharged from the service. It does not apply to those who died more than three years after discharge. If survivors are receiving compensation or pension (compensation or pension does not include government life insurance) from the Veterans Administration, they are not eligible for benefits provided under this amendment to the social security act. The law confers upon^the eligibile veteran a fully insured" status and guarantees his credit of a minimum average monthly wage of $160. An increment year is also provided for each year or 30 day- or more of service.' The benefits are computed from the average monthly wage, and each increment year increase the basic benefit amount by one percent. If the qualified veteran leaves a widow with young children in her care, she will be eligible to receive a monthly beuefit. Each_ehild under 16 will be eligible for a monthly benefit two-thirds the amount of the widow's benefit. As each child reaches the age of 18, his benefit will terminate. When all children have reached their 18th birthday ,anniversary, the wid ow's benefit will be suspended if she is under 65 years of agn. When the widow reaches the age of 65, however, she will be eligible to file again for benefits, which will continue for the rest of her lite. The widow, however, will lose all rights to benefits at any time if she remarries. If the veteran leaves neither widow nor child under 18, his parents may be eligible for benefits if they are 65 years old or more and were dependent Upon him for support at the time of his death.

MIDWAY CAFE AGAIN DAMAGED BYJIGHT FIRE Second Blaze Within Vear Guts Interior of Building The Midway Restaurant on East Fourth Street was seriously damaged by fire at 3:00 o'clock Tuesday morning in the second fire to break out in the establishment this year. Several thousand dollars damage was done to the restaurant in a fire early on the morning of Monday, January 21, it was threatened by fire when the nearby Beale building burned Thursday morning, January! 29, and Tuesday morning of this week t fire of unknown origin, which appar-} ently broke out in the storeroom, I gutted the interior of the building. I The fire had made considerable' headway when discovered hy passers- by and when brought under control by the Clare fire department, partitions had been burned away, the music box, booths, gas range, steam tables, large refrigerator, newly purchased dishes and silverware, other equipment, and the large supply of provisions kept in the storeroom had been destroyed, numerous cans of food having been exploded by the intense heat. Much of the clothing of Mrs. Glenn Hammond, which was in the storeroom, was also destroyed. Mr. and* Mrs. Glenn Hammond, proprietors of the restaurant, had reopened the establishment July 16, after remodeling and repairing following the first fire, and had just nicely re-established the business when the second fire practically destroyed the building and equipment. Mrs. Hammond left the restaurant when It closed at 11:00 o'clock and when employees who worked until 12:00 o'clock, left the building, there was no indication of fire. The only gas flames burning, aside from pilot lights, were in the water heater, and little damage was done near the heated, dispelling the theory that the fire was started by a gas explosion. The damage to the building is estimated at, approximately $3jX)0p -Isntl although estimates on the damaged equipment and supplies was not available, this loss will undoubtedly equal that of the building. The property was insured. The Hammonds announced Thurr- day morning that they would reopen, the business as soon as availability of materials would pei'mit, Beloved Citizen Passes Friday C. A.
