Because of new workers in war industry and other essential work, the local office is issuing 20 per cent more social security accounts per week than in 1942, besides accepting and investigating claims for old-age and survivors' insurance benefits and providing information about their social insurance rights to workers, or their survivors. Burlington's local office was opened in 1936, to serve workers and employers in this area on old-age and survivors' insurance matters. According to Manager Dorn, more than 100,000 workers in Vermont have social security accounts, and are accumulating wage credits which count toward old-age and survivors' insurance benefits. the country as a whole, some employes earned wages and salaries last year in jobs covered by the system. "Never in the history of any people has there been such gigantic organize effort to eliminate want due to old-age or death," Manager Dorn said.

Nearly 700,000 persons are already receiving monthly benefits, he said, including 284.000 retired workers; 84,400 wives of retired workers: 102,400 widows, young children, and 3,500 aged parents of deceased workers.

Burlington, Vermont. WfJ Monthly payments to families may be as high as $85, and cannot be as high as $85, and cannot be less than S10. The size depends on the earnings of the insured worker from jobs covered by the system.

Far From Complete System 'Yet our social security insurance system is far from complete," Mr. Dorn added. He explained that some 20 million workers are unprotected by the system farm and domestic workers, public employes, those who work for charitable, and other nonprofit institutions. In addition, the act makes no provision for assuring some income te people forced to stop working because of sickness or disability. In its seventh annual report to congress, the social security board recommended that the old-age and survivors' insurance system be extended to cover all persons who work for a living, including the self-employed.

The board also proposed social insurance protection against the hazards of sickness and disability and the costs of hospital care. Dorn explained that if the board's proposals are? adopted, all workers and their families would be assured of some income to make up. in part, for the pay that stops because of unemployment, sickness, disability, old age, or death of the bread-winner. The income would not be paid as relief or charity, but as insurance payments earned through previous employment of the workers themselves and financed by contributions of employes and employers. san and Freddy, on visits or to singing school.

Of Historic Interest, Too But there are items of historic interest, such as the one dated July 30, 1860, which reads: "Hon. Stephen A. Douglas arrived in town this morning. Was received by the firing of cannon and by the band. Was escorted to court house where he made a speech and afterward to the American house.

Shook hands with hfln at the American house." Other items possess human interest or are merely quaint. On Feb. 9, 1860 Mr. Fay wrote: "Freddy taken with the canker rash as we suppose." and on the following day the brief notation, "1-2 oz. saffron f.r Freddy." The remedy must have proved efficacious, since shortly after the entry occurs, "Freddy with my oxen and Henry Lord and Mr.

Mills' oxen went over to Muddy Brook and pulled down the old Barrows Saw Mill for Mr. Bates living in the Bates house." Freddy, according to an item which refers to his birthday shortly after, must at this time have been in his fourteenth year. My. Fay seems never to have missed a service at the university and frequent entries occur such as: "Attended Baccalaureate sermon by President Pease." Voman Believed Dead Is Charged With Intoxication A woman discovered lying under a car parked in the Ipt opposite the American Woolen mill in Win-ooski Thursday night was reported to the Winooski police as dead.

Then she said she she didn't need to go to a hospital, but wanted to go home. The ambulance driver finally turned her over to the Burlington police and she was lodged in jail.
