For S. S. Money
James E- Torbett, msg&er of the
Great Falls, Montana Flejd Office
of the Social Security Adfihlnistra
tion, announced this week that res
idents of Wolf Point and vicinity
lose some of their Old-Age and
Survivors Insurance benefits due
to their delay in filing their claims.
Mr. Torbett urged all employees
in Industry or commerce who are
65 or over to write his office on
the advisability cf filing applica
tions for retirement benefits for
which they and their families may
be eligible.
Where wage earners in employ
ment covered by the Social Securi
ty Act have died, members of the
families should contact him at the
earliest possible moment about fil
ing their application for benefits,
Mr. Torbett said.
Monthly benefits are payable re
troactively for a maximum cf only
three months before the date of
filing, so any long delay in mak
ing will result in loss of benefits.
Estate of $1,700
Awaits Payment to
Missing Relatives
A small but tidy "orphan fortune”
।of about 11,700, an estate, is hunt-*
ing through Montana for the child
ren of Herbert and Florence Spauld
ing who are believed to be living
somewhere in the state.
Walter C. Cox, probate geneal
ogist, Chicago, who specializes in
tracing missing relatives, said the
Spaulding family located in Mon
tana 30 to 35 years ago.
“Mr. and Mrs. Spaulding,” Mr.
Cox said, "are reported to have died
some 17 to 20 years later, leaving
children named Susie, Florence or
Lillian, Allan, and possible others.
"The children are entitled to
claim the tidy sum, if they can be
located. The money was left by
a relative of whom they probably
never heard and who died without
descendants.”
Roosevelt County
Named in Wheat
Insurance Quota
Roosevelt County has been chos
en as one of the 200 counties to
carry on an experiment in wheat
insurance fcr the Nation, accord
ing to word received from Henry
L. Anderson, State Director for the
Federal Crop Insurance Corpora
tion.
Recent changes in legislation do
not affect the obligation of the
Corporation or any insured far
mers in Roosevelt county who have
contracts for the 1947 or any sub
sequent crop years he pointed out.
Over 1,200 counties having wheat
crop insurance this year had to
be dropped to conform with the 200
county limitation set by Congress.
Selection of Roosevelt county was
based on the fact that wheat pro
duction is an important part of the
farm income and is representative
in the wheat area. Further develop
ment of crop insurance depends
partly on the success of the pro
gram in Roosevelt County.
The ten other Montana counties
are Daniels, Chouteau, Hill, Fergus,
Basin, McCone, Liberty, Sheridan,
Pondera, and Valley.
