Gargantua, the celebrated Goril

famous animal was the pet of a
Brooklynlte living in my old
neighborhood. Bay Ridge. She
raised him from Infancy. Final
ly Gargantua became too large
for his owner's little house. Be
sides, when the bell rang he
would go to the door and open
It. This caused several feminine
visitors to swoon on the door-,

son for that. Despite the reputa
tion given him later by press
agents Gargantua was perfectly
harmless. After being sold to a
circus the giant gorilla became
extremely moody and depressed.
Tbe circus men thought the sad-

cause he wanted a mate. That
wasn't the reason at all. He was
homesick. He wanted to go, back
to Brooklyn.

The Road To Prohibition
To the editor: During the 1945-
46 Christmas and New Year's
season, law enforcement officials
threw up their hands, admitted
their inability to cope with
America drunk, warned America
sober to keep off streets and
highways and not risk injury
and death at the hands of drunk
en revelers and drunken auto
drivers.
Recognizing the menace of
drunken drivers, Chief Raymond
Lato ot the California state high
way patrol admonished the
sober:
"Plan to stay home, particu
larly on New Year's eVe. But
if you must go out, stay in your
home town and take a taxi to
the place where you expect to
eclebrato, or have a friend who
doesn't drink drive you.
The press emphasized such
warnings. As a result:
City merchants, mindful of the
damage done their property on
V-J day, boarded up their places
of business to prevent their plate
glass windows being smashed by
drunken rowdies, and their
establishments looted.
Sober citizens denied them
selves the ordinary celebrations
of less drunken years; kept their
automobiles in their garages.
In a word, America sober ab
dicated to America drunk.
This marks a new high in the
development of the unrestrained
use of intoxicants in these United
States. Obviously, the liquor
traffic is well along on the road
which 30 years ago led to pro
hibition as the only escape from
that traffic's domination, arrog
ance and admitted evils.

SOCIAL SECURITY
IN THIS REGION
Fourteen hundred and eigh
teen monthly old-age and sur
vivors insurance benefits were
in force at the end of 1945 In
the area served by the Klamath
Falls office of the social security
board, an increase of 457 over
the number in force on Decem
ber 31, 1944, Howard J. Nelson,
manager, said today in a state
ment of the activities of the of
fice during the year.
In giving his estimates, which
are subject to minor revision,
Mr. Nelson said that the increase
over the year in benefits in
force amounted to 46.
The service area of the Klam
ath Falls office Includes Klam
ath, Jackson, Deschutes, Crook,
Jefferson and Lake counties in
Oregon, and Modoc county in
California.
Many Benefits
The number In the different
classes of beneficiaries and the
monthly benefit amounts receiv
ed durnlg the year were approxi
mately as follows:
Retired workers, aged 85 and
over, 713, $16,635.25.
Wives, 65 or over, of retired
workers. 171. $2,032.96.
Widows with young children.
113, $2,161.71.
Children of deceased or re
tired workers, 364, $4,350.31
Aged widows of workers, 55,
$1,122.20.
Mr. Nelson said that a mark
ed increase in number of appli
cants for old-age and survivors
insurance benefits following the
end of the war had been antici
pated. Many persons who have
been eligible for benefits have
delayed filing in order to help
out In the war industries.
"I should like, to pass on
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," Mr,
Nelson 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. The people al the office
can help you. They will do it
gladly."
Keep Your Cards
Mr. Nelson said that all hold
era of social security account
cards should guard them well
"People who have earned con
siderable wage credits In cover
ed employment during the war
Knd 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. manv cases
that will not be true. Many of
these persons may return to cov
ered employment in Ihe near fu
ture, whether they now contem
plate that action or not. The soc
ial 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
be credited. It may represent an
insurance policy to dependents
of the wage earner in event of
tragedy."

KEEP INSURANCE
POLICIES ALIVE,
Salem The majority of re
turning servicemen are neglect
ing to keep their national service
life insurance policies in force
despite the obvious advantages
of this insurance, Hugh E. Ros-
son, director of the State depart
ment of Veterans' Affairs, said
today.
Only two out of 10 veterans
In Marion county are keeping
their NSLI insurance paid up,
according to the county service
officer, and Rosson said this
figure coincided with the na
tional estimate disclosed in an
article entitled "Soldier, Hold
On To Your Insurance!" in De
cember's Better Homes and Gar
dens and February's Reader's Di
gest. Veterans' insurance experts
point out that NSLI has a cash
value after the first year, and it
can be borrowed on, up to 94
per cent of its cash value after it
has been converted and in force
one year. Also, if a veteran be
comes disabled for longer than
si months his insurance remains
in force free of charge until his
recovery.
Rosson said Veterans overlook
the fact that NSLI that has ex
pired since discharge because the
veteran "forgot" to pay his pre
miums may still be reinstated
any time within eight years after
ii was taken out. Recentlv
lapsed insurance may be rein
stated within six months after
discharge or within three months
after lapse, whichever is later,
by filling out a form and sub
mitting two monthly premiums
ii me veteran is In the same
physical condition as when the
insurance laosed. Tf if h.
lapsed for a longer period, It can
still be reinstated within the
eight-year period upon taking a
F".r3ii.-Bi examination, and by
paying the back premiums.
sl,i must be convortorf
in eight years of the time it was
taken out, and Rosson empha
sized the fact that converted in.
surance is still carried by the
.-v....rem, not oy a commercial
concern as some veteran,
lieve. Veterans ahm.u .
touch with a service officer to
get their insurance reinstated or
iu nve u converted.
