BUSY DAYS COMING
UP FOR HIGH
SCHOOL STUDENTS
With the close of the current
school year coming up fast,
high school students find they
have a busy calendar of events
ahead.
On April 2 members of the
Latin class will hold their an
nual banquet, complete with
costumes and customs of the
ancient Latins; on April 6 there
will be a talent show staged by
all classes of the high school,
also the Senior Tea on that
date; and Senior Week will be
observed. On April 13 the band
and chorus will combine for
the annual Spring Concert.
April 21 has been set for the
Junior-Senior Prom; on April
27 and 28 students participat
ing in the Music Festival will
travel to Anchorage for that
event. May 1 is Youth Day and
May 5 is the date of the West
ern Alaska Track Meet, also
to be held in Anchorage. On
May 11 the Lettermen’s Prom,
a semi-formal event, will be
held. On May 20 Baccalaureate
services are planned and Com
mencement has been announc
ed for May 25. Then there’s
Sneak Day—final exams—re
hearsals for various events—
papers to coirmlete and turn
in— forms to fill out for next
year—and many other chores,
duties, and obligations to com
plete before the final bell rings
the latter part of May.
REAL ASSET
Faith costs a man nothing to
get, nothing to keep, but he is
lost without it.
People have been known to
become victims of misplaced
confidence—in themselves.

Social S

QUESTIONS
AND ANSWERS
QUESTION: I have a clean
ing lady that comes in three
days a week. She receives cash
wages plus one meal on the
days she works. Should I show
only the cash wages paid on
my quarterly reports, or should
I include the value of the meals
also?
ANSWER: Only cash wages
are reported for domestic and
agricultural workers. The value
of any payment in kind such as
board and room is not reported
as wages for this type of work.
Shortly after January 1, six
teen and one-half million peo
ple started 1962 off by receiv
ing more than a billion dollars
in monthly social security
benefits. 6700 of these people,
according to Lee R. Christensen :
of the Juneau Social Security!
Office, live in the State of Al- j
aska.
Ana £>y social security, we
don't just mean old-age bene
fits", Christensen went on to
say. "In fact, there are 2.400
Alaskans receiving survivors
benefits and 300 disabled
workers and their dependents
receiving $140,000 monthly.
Nationwide, the figures break
down like this: 11.690,000 retir
ed workers and their depend
ents receiving $780,000,000
monthly; 3,814,000 widows and
children receiving $225,300,000
monthly, and 1,036,000 disabled
workers and their dependents
receiving $68,000,000.
Many of these folks are re- j 1
ceiving benefits now because
of changes made in the law in
1961. August of last year was
the first month that men be
tween 62 and 65 could choose
to receive benefits with the j
amount slightly less than if
they had waited until 65).
This was also the month that
3,700,000 aged widows and
people receiving minimum
benefits found an increase
in their checks.
