Letters to the Editor:
Protests Usless
Slaughter of Game
Editor
Cheechako News
Kenai, Alaska
Dear Sir:
The Kodiak Outdoorsmen Club
of Kodiak, Alaska, wishes to ex
press unanimous disapproval of
the bill shortly to be introduced
in the state legislature by Al
Owens which, in our estimation,
pertains to the useless slaughter
of Alaska’s big game.
We are referring to the bill
which would allow a hunter to,
for a set fee. kill a big game an
imal and leave the meat in the
woods to spoil.
This, we feel, is a senseless and
criminal waste of one of Alaska’s
most important resources.
The Kodiak Outdoorsmen, fur
thermore, feel that it is up to the
public of the State of Alaska to
make their opinions known to
their representatives in Juneau.
Sincerely
Terry McMullin,
President
Kodiak Outdoorsmen
Club
Social Security
Queries Answered
Question: I am a widow and
will be 62 in a few months. When
my husband died, I was paid the
lump sum death payment. What
will I need to do to get benefits
now ?
Answer: You will have to ap
ply for the widow’s benefits. To
be sure your claim is not delayed,
take your birth record and your
marriage certificate with you
when you are ready to apply for
the benefits. If you do not have
the original copy of your marri
age certificate you can get a cer
tified copy of it from the court
house where your marriage li
cense was obtained. For evidence
of your age, a record, made dur
ing your school years (or before)
is preferable. Your Juneau office
can tell you about other accept
able evidence. Sometimes an old
family Bible or other personal
papers can be used.
Question: My husband and I
have been married a year. He is
collecting his Social Security re
tirement benefits and I under
stand that I am now eligible for
Social Security wife’s benefits. I
am 63. What do I need to do?
Answer: You should file an
application for wife’s benefits
with your Juneau Social Security
office. When you and your hus
band contact the office, send
along proof of your age, a copy
of your marriage certificate, and
your Social Security card, if you
have one. Having all these things
available at the time of your in
terview will speed the payment of
your monthly benefits.
For more information about So
cial Security: write to the Social
Security Administration, Box
1331, Juneau, Alaska.
