DISABLED WORKERS
MAY LOSE VALUABLE
S. S. PROTECTION
Although over 100 disabled
people in Alaska have alrady ap
plied to have their social secur
ity records frozen, many more
may lose valuable social security
protection if they do not apply
before July, 1957.
This warning came fz^om James
G. Browne, district manager of
social security in Juneau. He ex
plained that an application filed
before July 1957 by a disabled
worker could pffp^t'^e as of
the time his disability actually
started if certain work require
ments were met at that time.
After June 30, 1957, a disabled
person cannot freeze his social
security record for a period be
ginning earlier than one year be
fore the date he applies' for the
freeze. This means that many
workers who have been disabled
for a long time will not be able
to get their record frozen if they
do not apply before June 30, 1957.

Two young Navy men stood to
gether on the far Pacific shore of
Ulithi Atoll. They had been
pondering the great realities of
life and eternity and had come to
this question, “What is a Chris
tian?”
One can believe Christ died
for him, acknowledge the whole
truth of the Bible, pass cate
chisms, join any or all church
groups and be baptised. He can
try to live by the golden rule,
sincerely do the best he knows,
work in the church, live as good
as some who profess to be Chris
tian, observe religious rituals and
live in a country founded upon
Christian principles; and with all
this, still not be a Christian!
Let God Himself answer the
question: “ . . . God has given to
us eternal life and this life is in
His Son. He that has the Son has
life, and he that has not the Son
of God has not life ... he that
keeps His commandments dwells
in Him and He in him.” A Chris
tian ,then, is one in whom Jesus
lives now!
Thousands have pondered the
question the two sailors asked
and have found that the church
world has a wide variety of an
swers, many of which bear no
resemblance to the truth of the
Scriptures. They have found that
if they would enter the Christian
life, they must go by the Word
of God. And so will you l
