2,193 in County
Get Social Security t
There are 2,193 social securi y
beneficiaries in Mason County re-
ceiving $158,000 a month in ola-
age, survivors and disability in-
surance benefits, as reported by
C. A. Skinner, manager of the
Olympia office of the Social Se'
curlty Administration.
Both the number of beneficiaries
and the amount of the payments
have been growing steadily since
the first payments in 1940. Last
year's growth was produced prin-
cipally by the increase in the older
population and the higher earnings
levels that are used in computing
the benefits, rather than the pro-
gram changes that brought dra-
matic increases in some past
years, according to Skinner.
DESPITE THE large number of
people receiving these payments
in Mason County, there are some
individuals who could get the pay-
ments if they would apply for
them. For those whose lack of
knowledge of the law has prevent-
ed their getting social security
benefits which they are entitled to,
Sldnner urged a visit to his office.
In reporting on the current ben-
efit situation, Skinner also pointed
out that the year 1965 marks sev-
eral milestones in the history of
social security. The January, 1965
benefit payment represented the
300th month of suca payments.
The number of monthly benefits
will reach the 20 million mark
within the next several weeks.
Finally, August is the 30th anni-
versary of the signing of the or-
iginal Social Security Act by Pres-
ident Franklin D. Roosevelt.

NEW YORK (Special) -- A re-
port just released by the U.S. Pub-
lic Health Service, revealing a 9.7
percent increase in cancer deaths
in the United States in a period
of four years, draws attention to
the situation in Mason County.
Interest in the report is height-
cried further by the fact that April
has been designated "Cancer Con-
trol Month."
The findings are based on data
gathered by the PHS from every
county in the nation. Listed is the
nmnber of cancer cases of each
type, including lung cancer, oc-
curring in each conmmnity.
Among residents of Mason
County, the cancer mortality rate
in the year ending Jan. 1, 1964,
was somewhat higher than in
most sections of the country, it
appears.
Locally, ther~ were 29 such
deaths, not counting those of nan-
residents.
It amounted to a rate of 169
cancer deaths per 100,000 popula-
tion. By way of comparison, the
national rate was 150 per 100,-
000. The rate in Washington was
141.
Lung cancer, because of the cig-
mette issue has been receiving
more attention than other forms
of tim disease.
Nationally, it accounted for 16
percent of all cancer deaths. Lo-
cally, it was responsible for 13.8
percent of them.
Had it not been for this branch
of the disease, which registered
a 26 percent rise in the United
States in the four-year period, the
cancer picture as a whole would
appear in a more favorable light.
EVEN SO, th~ez'e have been
gains, according to the National
ttealth Education Committee. It
reports that more people than
ever before are going for regu-
lar medical checkups and that, as
a result, many cases are being de-
tected early and cured.
It claims that a fourth of those
wire died of cancer could have
been saved had there been a time-
ly diagnosis and proper treatment
given.
Significant progress has also
been made by medical research
teams, despite insufficient funds
available for their work.
The committee states that only
$]54 million a year is provided for
cancer research as compared with
$482 million spent in the United
States for greeting cards and $347
million for chewing gum.
Men are often capable of great-
er things than they perform. They
are sent into the world with bills
of credit, and seldom draw r.o
their full extent.
