Md., shows Uiat about 2,300.000 per sons throughout the nation are now receiving monthly payments under the Federal social security program at an average monthly We of S46 million. This is an all lime "high" for the old-age and survivors insurance program, said Mr. Johnson, manager of the Eu gene office of the Social Securitv Administration, who reported these figures locally. One year ago payments were being made to about 1,975,000 persons at an av erage monthly rate in excess of 38 million dollars. Under the Social Security Act monthly insurance payments are made to qualified retired workers in commerce and Industry and wives and minor children of re tired workers as well as to sur vivors of deceased insured work ers. The social security year-end statement shows that monthly retirement pavments totaled about $366,000,000 in 1948. Pay ments to survivors (children, wid ows with young children in their care, aged widows and aged par ents) amounted to approximately $177,000,000. An additional $32 million was paid in lump sums to survivors of insured workers who DEALERS WANTED Valuable franchise available to qualified individuals or busi ness firms. The Goodyear Wingfoot Home is now ready for deliv ery to this territory. This home is a one or two bedroom, fully equipped house that can be set on the customers foundation ready for occupancy for less than $3500. Exclusive franchise requires about $4000 for inventory pur poses only. Address inquiries to: Northwest Wingfoot Homes, Inc. 8815 Aurora Ave. KEnwood 04S6 Seattle, Wash. were not Immediately eligible for monthly payments. Estimating monthly social se curity payments in Douglas Coun ty at the end of 1348 at $10,104, Mr. Johnson said this represents an increase of about 20 percent over the figure at the end of 1947.

Millions Protected Approximately 13.200.000 wage and salary earners now have life time protection for themselves and their families under old-age and survivors insurance through completion of a required num ber of years work in social se curity lobs. This is and increase of 1.600.000 since the end of 1947. These workers have at least some insurance protection for life, re gardless of their future work his tory. About 78,700,000 living persons had some wages credited toward future social security benefits at the end of 1948, an increase of 1, 800.000 persons over :he number reported a year af,o. During 1948 some 50.000.000 persons received waces in covered employments.
