“Social Security has become a
part of our lives,” said Tom
Burscher, representative of the
Social Security Administration,
who was present at the dinner
meeting of the Kodiak Business
and Professional Women’s Club
Monday evening at the Island
Fountain.
Burscher, who spoke to the
group on the “What, Why, When
and How of Social Security,” was
introduced by Mrs. Carolyn Floyd,
chairman of the Public Affairs
Committee. He explained what
Social Security means, what can
be gained from it, who pays for
it, and how to plan for old age.
He described it as a national pro
gram of national insurance, an in
surance against possible loss of
earnings, with a benefit of from
$24 to $108 pe;r month.
Burscher brought out the fact
rhat the United States is not alone
m a Social Security plan, but that
it is a part of the economic system
of 51 ether countries, with more
than 11 million receiving, bene
fits. In Alaska alone over 5.000
persons, with approximately 2,000
of that number being widows and
minor children, are benefiting
from the plan in the amount of
approximately $250,000.
In closing, he advised, “Keep
your Social Security paid. Check
on your Social Security account.
Contact your nearest Social Se
curity office in case of death, dis
ability or retirement of an insur
ed member of the family.”

little League’
Baseball Formed
A meeting is being called for
all adults interested in giving as
sistance in the organization and
management of “Little League”
baseball during the coming sea
son.
Still needed are umpires, score
keepers, field managers, coaches,
etc. The meeting, called for 7 p.m.
Tuesday, May 6, will be at the
new high school. Depending upon
the turnout, a room of sufficient
capacity will be provided by the
school authorities at this time.
The response to the idea of
“Little League” in Kodiak has
been good, according to those who
are pushing its formation, but
much remains to be accomplished.
Oiifdoorsmen Club
Will Sponsor
Baseball Players
The Kodiak Outdoorsmen are
sponsoring a team in the “Little
League,” now being formed. They
have designated their players as
the “Black” team.
A meeting is called for Tuesday,
May 6 at 8 p.m. in the school in
town, when arrangements will be
finalized for the new baseball
league. Enough hoys between the
ages of 8 and 13 years turned out
to complete two teams, with a
good reserve of subs. Another
team, called the “Purple” team
will be sponsored by business
firms in town. Donnelley and
Acheson, Knudsens and O. Kraft
and Son have indicated a willing
ness to sponsor a team. It is an
ticipated b,y those starting the
League that when the rest of the
boys discover that there is some
real activity along these lines,
with equipment furnished by
sponsors, they will be coming out
of the clover patches all over the
island.
It is planned to select the most
promising players from the long
list of applicants for as many
teams as there are sponsors. Ac
tually, at this time, there are
more potential sponsors than
there are teams. What is needed
most of all are grown-ups to help
in the coaching and managing of
these teams. It is proposed to de
velop a regulation baseball dia
mond at -the Baptist Mission. The
superintendent, Bill Stone, has
offered a piece of ground for a
ball field. Local help is urgently
needed for the project. The
ground must be raked, rolled, and
the diamond and outfield laid out
to conform with official “Little
League” regulations.
