entertained about 75 of their friends Tuesday evening at portant tasks. Their retirement in increasing numbers is expected. Advises Calling at Office "I should like to pass on a word of advice or caution to those persons who are not forced by advancing age to retire, but who are beyond the age of 65 and are giving the question thoughtful consideration," Dorn said. "It is: Call at the local office of the social security board. It may be advantageous for you to file your claim at once if your wages are less than previously.

The people at the office can help you. They will do it gladly." He added that all holders of social security account cards should guard them well. 'People who have earned considerable wage credits in covered employment during the war and who are now returning to household duties, to school, or to other pursuits, may feel that the card is no longer of value to them." he said. "In many cases that will not be true. Many of these persons may return to covered employment in the near future, whether they now contemplate that action or "not.

The social security card identifies the account to which all past wages earned by the worker in covered employment have been credited and to which future wages will Le credited. It may represent an insurance policy to dependents of the wage earner in the event of death."

327 who received $3,659.38 in monthly benefits; and aged widows of workers, 102 who received $1,930.38 in monthly payments. Monthly benefits are paid also to aed dependent parents of fully insured workers who died without leaving a wife or child. Manager Dorn said a marked increase in the number of applicants for old-age insurance benefits following the end of the war had been anticipated. Many persons who have been eligible for benefits have delayed filing in order to help out in the war industries and other im A fresh vegetable salad, selling at 23 cents for an eight-ounce package, continues to sell well in local stores.

Needs Rural Health Centers, I Says Dean Brown UVM ursing Dept. Can Cooperate, He Tells VNA in City Increased medical facilities for the rural areas of Vermont should be made available by a careful study of their needs. Dr. William E. Brown, dean of the UVM medical college, told a group at the an nual meeting of the Burlington Vis iting Nurse Association, at the Klif a Club yesterday afternoon.

Mrs. H. Dean Pearl, retiring president, conducted the meeting. Dr. Brown cited the need for health centers in the state to carry these facilities to the rural areas.

Development of local hospitals should increase so that they are available to care for emergency cases for the rural areas, he said. 'In such a program we would have to count a great deal upon three types of nursing in addition to the doctor," said the new dean of the medical college: the public health nurse, the visiting or bed side nurse and the school nurse. all of whom should be used in co operation with the doctor in such a way as to conserve his time and make his services more generally available." In order to meet such a program, he explained the department of nursing at the university should be in a position to give spe cialized training to nurses who wish to enter this field. I feel it is just as important for the university to produce mirses for Vermont as it is for the col lege of medicine to produce doc tors," he asserted. "This does not mean there should be any in terference with the general train ing of nurses hospitals through out the state.

The university hould trv to stimulate and help hospitals throughout the state in their general nursing programs. he declared. I In all this work it becomes a doctor-patient relationship just as in the days of the country doctor. only with more facilities, conclu ded Dr. Brown.
