Timing To Insure Getting
Social Security Payments
TIMING — That’s a word that
: means different things to an auto
| mechanic, to an actor or play
I wright, to a bus driver, and to
| others.
i Tom Burtscher, field repre
sentative of the Juneau Social
Security office, says that “timing”
can and should be an important
word for many persons who have
{ reached retirement age on or be
; fore January 1957.
Any such person, insured under
j social security, whose earnings
were $2080 or less should contact
his social security district office
at once, Burtscher went on. Not
doing so in January 1958 means
all chances of getting a social
security check for January of
1957 have vanished.
So Burtscher says, if you’re a
woman past 63, or a man past
66, and your 1957 earnings were
| less than $2080.01, better check
! your timing with respect to filing
: a claim with the social security
| folks by seeing them before Feb.
! 1, 1958. In case you can’t get in
, to their office, write them a let
: ter and say, “I want to file my
; claim,” and your rights will be
1 protected.

Polar Bears
Class 1 Nuisance
YELLOWKNIFE, N.W.T., OR —
Even after hearing polar bears
called “a class one nuisance,” the
Northwest Territories Council
passed legislation last week to
save them from extinction in the
arctic.
It approved laws replacing the
present year - around season on
polar bear with a five-month sea
son in the districts of Franklin
and Keetwatin, excluding the dis
trict of MacKenzie, where the
season will not be regulated.
Knut Lang, Council member
for Aklavik, said regulations in
the MacKenzie district could only
tempt Eskimo hunters, unable to
understand the logic of the law.
“He (the Eskimo) will just feel
badly about it. He certainly won’t
agree not, to shoot them.”
Lang, a trader, said he would
not feel badly about the disap
pearance of the great be^r — “a
class one nuisance.” He said it
smashed canoes, sleds and any^
thing else it found in an .arctic
camp.”
John Parker, member for Yel
lowknife, added: “The polar bear
hide is not too useful anyway
unless you want to disguise your
self as a polar bear.”
Allan Laughrey, federal Pre
dator Control officer, said polar
bear pelts are in brisk demand
on the Distant Early Warning
radar line, bringing $80 to $100
each. He said 416 bears were shot
in 1957, mostly females and cubs,
“and there is a danger they will
be exterminated.”
Navy Finds Debris From
Plane Wreck In Pacific
HONOLULU, UPi — Pieces of
wood and foam rubber were
found in the Pacific Ocean Mon
day night, pinpointing one of the
two giant searches for missing
military planes.
Searchers picked up the debris
97 miles west of where a Mili
tary Transport Service cargo
plane vanished Sunday with sev
eral aboard.
Also missing, near Guam, is an
Air Force B-50 weather spotting
plane and a hunt for it was in
tensified by persistent distress
signals heard by radio operators.
The signals presumably were
coming from hand operated
radios aboard life rafts.
