Old Age Pension Act
Explained To Lions
Provisions for old age insurance
under the social security act were
explained Tuesday night at a dinner
meeting of the Bluffton Lions club
by W. H. Ashbrook, manager of the
field office of the social security
board in Lima.
Ashbrook’s office has charge of so
cial security activities in seven coun
ties—Allen, Auglaize, Putnam, Han
cock, Hardin, Mercer and Van Wert.
In his talk, Ashbrook pointed out
that for millions of workers, the So
cial Security Act provides an old age
income payable monthly after age
65. Size of the payments will de
pend on the amount of the worker’s
wages, in employment covered by the

College Choir Back
From 1800-Mile Trip
Bluffton college’s A Capella choir
returned Monday night from an
1,800-mile eastern trip in which 23
concert ap)earances were made, in
cluding a broadcast over the NBC
hookup last Wednesday.
Forty-eight persons were in the
touring group which traveled in one
bus and two automobiles. Driver of
the 38-passenger bus was Ivins Mer-
Prof. Russell A. Lantz, director of
the choir, Mrs. Lantz and Ralph Y.
Blosser, field secretary of the college,
accompanied the
1 rincipal points ot interest visited
by the group included the Stephen
Foster Memorial in Pittsburgh. Get-.
tysburg battle field, Valley Forge,
the U. S. Navy Yard, the mint and
Independence Hall at Philadelphia,
and the sights of New York City,
including a tour thru Rockefeller
Center and Radio City.
The only accident on the tour was
that which befell Esthei Niswander,
a member of the choir, who received
an injury to her right leg above the
ankle in a fall down a flight of
stairs at Fairfield, Pa., two weeks
ago. Altho she was unable to sing
with the group because of the injury
she finished the tour with them.
The term, achievement day, is
used in Ohio to call attention to the
completion of tasks by groups of
rural women, but it does not fully
express the fact that it also is a
public expression of pride in work
which has been well done.
