Local News A number of people will be in Decatur visiting this weekend who have friends and relatives here that they see only once in a long while. If you have visitors, why not call up 3-2121 and ask for the society editor, and tell her your visitors’ names, where they are from, who they are visiting, and how long they expect to be here. These items are run in the “locals” column, and give friends here a chance to call and talk to old friends. They also may ward off chance callers who don’t know your company, and might wander in unexpected. People appreciate knowing who is in town, or who is gone on a visit. If you call in your locals, they will be printed along with those which are gathered by the news staff. Some people have difficulty knowing the “news” stories, which are always printed free of charge, from the “ads” which cost money. If you are in business, or selling something, your article is usually run as an ad. But news about Decatur people, or visitors, meetings, engagements, or w eddings, are run as news, and there is no charge.

Holiday Meet Next Saturday At Portland Holiday tourney time in Indiana usually provokes great excitement and interest and Decatur certainly is no exception. With the Yellow Jacket cheerleaders taking the initiative, plans are being readied for a special bus to take the students to the holiday tourney at Portland Saturday, Jan. 2. The bus will leave from the Decatur gym entrance at noon that Saturday. Presently, one bus is being planned, but more can be added if ticket sales indicate this is needed. Tickets at HOH Tickets will be 25 cents and can be purchased at Holthouse on the Highway, or from any of the four cheerleaders. Also, tourney game tickets can be purchased there for $1.50, while single game ducats are going for sl. The latter can be purchased only at the Portland gym, however. Decatur high school will benefit if the tourney tickets are bought here as the slice of the tourney melon will be divided according to tourney ticket sales. Cassie Strickler, Taya Erekson, Becky Maddox, and Sidney Beery are the young girls handling the operation. Coach Paul Bevelhinw said they have the situation well in hand, and apparently need no supervision. Coach Bevelhimer also indicated that he plans several surprises for the tourney. While not indicating what they are, it should change the complexion of the Yellow Jackets considerably. Tourney Schedule Afternoon Session 1:15 p.m., Bluffton vs Decatur. 2:30 p.m., Portland vs Hartford City. Officials: Frank Carnes, of Muncie, and Dave Habegger of Berne. Evening Session 7.15 p.m., losers of game 1 and game 2. 8:30 p.m., championship game between the two afternoon winners. Officials —Maurice Davis, of Fort Wayne, and Harold Braden, of Fort Wayne. Bluffton Hotel Fire Causes Minor Damage A fire at the Bliss hotel in Bluffton at 2:20 a.m. Thursday routed 30 guests, but damage was minor and confined to one room. Robert Jackson, about 30, was taken to the hospital when he was overcome by smoke from a fire which spread from a rug in his room to his bed. Jackson, who according to firemen had been drinking, faces a charge by the Bluffton police as soon as he is released from the hospital Firemen brought the flames under control within 15 minutes after the smoke was noticed by the hotel manager. It was the second smoking fire in the hotel within the last few months. H riil "Your whistle is too loud.”

Coifs, Giants Battle Sunday For Pro Title i By MALCOLM ALLEN t United Press International r BALTIMORE (UPI) — The Baltimore Colts and New York Gi- . ants are ready for the game Naj tional Football League fans have . been waiting for since last De- ’ cember — A rematch of their unprecedented overtime championship thriller. ’ Baltimore won the 1958 NFL 1 title, 23-17, after eight minutes, 15 seconds of a “sudden death” ’ extra period at Yankee Stadium. ; Coach ’ Weeb Ewbank’s Colts, 3% point favorites to retain the crown, ended preparations today i with a light drill at Memorial • Stadium, The stadium will be •] jammed with 57,557 spectators > Sunday and hundreds of thou- - sands will take in the action via I NBC radio-TV at 1:45 p.m., e.s.t. J Coach Jim Lee Howell’s underII dogs, described recently by a I Cleveland Browns coach as "those cocky Giants,” will arrive j by train today after a brief Yan- . kee Stadium workout. Expect Noisy Crowd The Giants won’t test the Memorial Stadium turf until they race on the field Sunday before ; what they expect will be the noisiest crowd they have ever faced. , 1 The Colts and Giants figure they have to operate while handicapped by a thunderous volume of crowd noise. Baltimore fans, probably the most exuberant in the NFL, worked up a big head of steam when the Colts won their first championship last year in New York and are expected to raise more rumpus on their home ground. Ewbank has drilled quarterback John Unitas to use hand signals to communicate with his ends and flanker backs if the uproar drowns out his voice. Howell also has briefed quarterback Charlie Conerly in the use of hand signals. Bot coaches hope the fans will give the players a chance to hear the signals but both fear the worst. Big Betting Play Bookmakers say the game has attracted more betting rponey than any other single sports event of the year. Several bookmakers claim it may be the biggest single betting event in sports history Interest, betting and otherwise, began, building up as, soon as the two teams ended their classic overtime title game last Dec. 28. Steve Myhra’s 20-yard field goal with seven seconds remaining produced a 17-17 tie and set up the league's first overtime game. The Giants won the toss for the overtime and received but failed to make a first down in three plays and punted. Unitas then guided the Colts 80 yards in 13 plays, Alan Ameche smashing ’ one yard off his right tackle for 1 the winning touchdown. 1 Sunday’s rematch of the teams that played what spme football observers called "the greatest football game ever played” features virtually the same performers.

Al Kaline In t Surprise Win For Slugging CHICAGO (UPI) — Outfielder Al Kaline of the Detroit Tigers turned in one of the year’s neatest tricks when he won the American League “slugging championship’’ by hitting more singles than his closest rivals. Kaline was disclosed today as the surprise winner of the “slugging title’’ with a .530 percentage, according to figures compiled by the Howe News Bureau. Harmon Killebrew of the Washington Senators was second at .516, Mickey Mantle ot the New York Yankees was third at .514, Rocky Colavito of the Cleveland Indians was fourth at .512 and Jim Lemon of the Senators was fifth at .510. Kaline hit fewer home runs than all four of his closest rivals, topped only Colavito in triples and had fewer doubles than Killebrew, Mantle and Colavito. But his 119 singles and higher batting average (.327 or 42 points higher than the closest of the four pursuers in that department; enabled him to win a title usually associated with a Ruth - GehrigFoxx typeSlugging percentages are compiled by dividing official at bats into total bases. Kaline had 511 at bats and 271 total bases. The Indians had a .408 team slugging percentage to top the Yankees’ .402 and also left the least number of runners on base, 995. Second baseman Nelson Fox of the Chicago White Sox broke seven major league records and tied one while catcher Yogi Berra of the' New York Yankees set three major league marks. Fox’ marks were: Most years leading league in putouts, second base, 8; most consecutive games played at second base, 669; most years leading league in singles, 7; most consecutive years leading league in singles, 6; mdst years leading league in fewest str keouts, 8. Fox tied a record for most years 600 or more times at bat, league, with 9.

Celtics Rally For Win Over Knicks By United Press International How can you stop a basketball team whose No. 6 man steals the. show from Bob Cousy? Sam Jones, who played his college basketball tor North Carolina College, did just that Friday night and the result was a tremendous 123-119 comeback victory for the Boston Celtics over the New York Knickerbockers. A crowd of 14,870 at Madison Square Garden saw the 6-4, 198pound Jones — called by Cousy “the most dangerous backcourt man in the National Basketbail .Association** — lead the Celtics from a 21-point "deficit to their 14th straight victory. Cousy was handicapped by four personal fouls in the first half and quickly picked up a fifth in the second half so Celtic coach Bed Auerback had no choice but to relieve him in favor of Jones. Jones promptly took complete charge of the game, scored 23 points in the second half, seized rebounds and passed off a Le Cousy in one of the most dazzling exhibitions of basketball Garden observers have seen. Wilt Chamberlain scored 45 points to lead the Philadelphia Warriors to a 129-121 win over the Syracuse Nationals; the Cincinnati Royals broke a six-game losing streak with a 121-103 triumph over the Detroit Pistons and the St. Louis Hawks defeated the Minneapolis Lakres, 112-96, in other Christmas night action.

Social Security Quiz Answers Many Queries

(Editor’s Noto) Do you have any questions about Social Security? We all do, don’t we? Send any question you might have to Social Security Quiz, c/o Daily Democrat. You’ll find your answer in this column, which is published regularly.) 1. Q. What do the letters F. I. C. A. that appear on my W-2 statement of ehrnings each year stand for? A. They stand for federal insurance contributions act, which is the authority under whieh the internal revenue service collects the re-, quired social security contributions from covered employers and employes. 2. Q. My father, a self-employed grocer for a long time, is now 73 years old and still working and making enough to get by on. He is reluctant to claim social security because he doesn't actually need it. How can I convince him he should file for benefits? A. His right to a monthly benefit is clearly set forth in the social security law. The withholding of monthly benefits because of annual earnings in excess of SI2OO applies only to months in which a person is under the age of 72. Your father has met both the age and work requirements and the benefits are his for the asking. There is no needs test under federal old-age and survivors insurance, so that the matter of his needing or not needing the social security benefit is, in legal terms, “irrelevant and immaterial.” 3. Q. I have been working under social security for four years. Is there any way I can find out if all my earnings are in fact recorded under my name and number? A. Yes indeed there is. Your social security office can furnish you with a post-card form numbered 7004 and entitled “Wage Statement Request.” Fill it out, put a stamp on it and drop it in the mailbox. Within a few days you will receive a confidential report of the amount of earnings cfedited to your account. While you have the right to get a statement once a year, one every three years is sufficient to fully protect your account. 4. Q. A question that has puzzled me is this: How is it humanly

SATURDAY, DECEMBER 26, 1959

possible to keep all those records of earnings that you use for figuring how much a person’s social security benefit will be? A. While it would be humanly possible to do it, it certainly wouldn't be feasible. The huge task of maintaining these records has been reduced to manageable proportions by the use of accounting machines, microfilming electronics and so on. Our record keeping officials apply all the latest scientific achievements in order to do the job bettcr,faster, and more economically. They are continually working with people, both in and out of government, to perfect the machines and techniques used in our record-keep-ing process. 5. Q. I plan to be visiting relatives for the next month. Should I notify the social security administration of their address? A. No. If you will be away from your home address for only a short time, you should make arrangement with your postmaster to either forward your check to you or hold it until you return. 6. Q. Why doesn’t social security pay a benefit big enough to provide for the necessities’ I can scrape by on my benefits, but I have to count the pennies carefully. A. A lot of time and space could be used in Answering that question fully. It involves so many things. Briefly, the entire program was established so that earnings lost by reason of retirement, disability or death could be partially replaced. Social security does not attempt to provide complete financial security by itself. That is the responsibility of the individual and a number of our great American institutions, of which social security is but one—all attacking the problem of financial insecurity in a different way. 1 -• Seven Persons Dead In Peru Earthquake LIMA, Peru (UPD — The Peruvian government has rushed aid to Cangallo province in the state of Ayacucho where at least seven persons were killed and 37 injured in a violent earthquake Christmas Eve.
