land selection program.”
Questions and Answers
Q. I will be 72 in December, but
have never filed for Social Securi
ty before. Does my Social Security
start automatically or do I have to
do something about it?
A. An application, filed with your
Social Security Office, is neces
sary. You should contact your So
ial Security Office as soon as pos
ible and take with you your So
cial Security card, proof of your
age and evidence of last year’s
wages or self-employment income.
Q. I expect to retire soon but I
have no birth certificate. I do have
the family Bible of my parents, in
which they listed my birth. Will
this be enough prove my age,
A. A family Bible record of this
sort is usually very good evidence
providing there are no erasures or
changes. Be sure to take the whole
Bible with you. If it is not in itself
sufficient, it may be used to sup
port other evidence that may be
available.
Q. I know that I can file for
Social Security benefits when I
am 65, but I have heard that it
takes several months before the
first check comes. When can I
file my application so that my first
check will arrive sooner?
A. You can file your application
three months in advance of your
birthday. You should bring with
you all of the necessary evidence
required. Your Social Security
card, some document which
establishes your age and evidence
of last years earings.

BOOK REVIEW—
(Continued from page 10)
finally resolve the dilemma, wh®
can “advise” the President and
either “consent” to the nomination
of Leffingwel, or decine to do so.
Inevitably readers will seek to
identify characters in Drury1*
novel with politicians who have
dominated headlines during the
past decade—highly respected fig
ures like Robert A. Taft of Ohia
or others less revered like Joseph
R. McCarthy of Wisconsin.
The author contends his char
acters and events are akin to peo
ple and events in reality, but they
aie not the people and events of
reality, but rather of the book, a
distinction he asks be borne in
mind.
The judges of the Book-of-the
Month Club found the book ’Vast
in scoe, urgent in topicality*
courageous in statement.”

WE PAY TRIBUTE
to George Magnuson who left Kodiak this week to take up
new duties in Tacoma, Washington.
A resident here for 40 years, George has been with the City
*
Fire Department for the past 19 years, and has been Fire
Chief for most of that time.
While serving in that capacity, the City has built up an
enviable record of few major fires, due in large part to
his constant vigilance.
To he and his family, good by and good luck. Tacoma’s
gain is Kodiak’s loss.
