AND ANSWERS
QUESTION: I understand
that men over 62 have been eli
gible for social security bene
fits since August 1961. Does
that mean thkt only a worker
can get a pension at age 62?
ANSWER: No. In addition to
workers, the following three
groups of men are also eligi
ble as early as age 62:
1) The dependent parent of
a deceased son or daughter who
had been providing his princi
pal support.
2) The dependent husband
of a woman receiving old-age
or disability benefits who was
nrnviriin** hi<? nrinrinal cun
port.
3) The dependent widower
whose principal support had
been provided through his
wife's earnings.
QUESTION: If a man applies
for old-age benefits after age
62, but before he reaches 65,
will tbe reduced benefit re
main the same for life, or does
he get his full benfit at age 65?
ANSWER: If he does not re
turn to work the amount would
remain the same for the rest1
of his life. However, if he
should return to work and lose
part of his monthly benefits
because of his work, his bene
fits would be automatically
raised to a higher amount when
he reaches age 65.

Lowell Thomas, Jr.
Film to be Shown
On Febuary 8
Already viewed by thousands
in the South 48, “Follow the
North Star.” the extraordinary
film presentation of Lowell
Thomas, Jr., will be given its
Alaskan premiere at Romig
Hill auditorium February 8. it
was announced this week by
unit OUUCItM, 1UI1U LU
chairman of the Alaska Festi
val of Music.
Narrated by Thomas, “Fol
low the North Star' was last
shown in November to a select
audience in Carnegie Hall as a
special saluate to Alaska.
“The Festival of Music is for
tunate that Lowell Thomas. Jr.,
a member of the festival’s ad
visory board, has agreed to as
sist our fund raising with this
benefit premiere of his out
standing film presentation,”
said Silberer.
Containing the best from
lover 100,000 feet of technicolor
| film ranging from southeast Al
i aska to the North Pole, the one
'hour, 15-minute presentation is I
' narrated by Thomas. His wife,
Tay, will supervise sound ef
fects.
Rated one of the all-time best
efforts to “sell Alaska,” the
Thomas film is so effective that
during the process of docu
menting, it the young explorer
lecturer decided to make Anch
orage his home.
Included in the showing will
be film selections which won
the covered “Christopher
Award" for a television produc
tion. A special treat for Alas
kans is first inclusion of under
water sequences from “Adaq,
King of Alaskan Seas."
The latter film, which relates
to Alaska’s king crab industry,
recently won a merit award at
the Cannes Film Festival.
“Follow the North Star” will
start at 8 p.m. on February 8 in
the Romig Hill auditorium. Tic
kets, at $2 each, are now on
sale and the Anehora Book
Shop and The Hat Box, both in
Anchorage.
Rumor mongers need to hear
very little of an argument to
pick up some scraps of mis-in
formation.
