Half that time was taken by the 17-man Count Basie band and one would have to be tied down not to move foot, hand or head to that music. Joe Williams, Basie vocalist for the last six years of the 1950s, reunited himself with the band for five numbers. A 19-man group, put together of musicians active in the Swing Era, played, led by Benny Carter. It's no surprise that they used tunes for a series of solos, though they did swing when they played in unison. Their opening 'Honeysuckle Rose" was 15 minutes of solos.

Among the players here were Harry Edison, Benny Morton, Dickie Wells, Tyree Glenn, Jimmy Nottingham, Budd Johnson, Milt Hinton, Jo Jones and Teddy Wilson. Maxine Sullivan came on and sang five tunes with them, weaving a gentle swing thread, actually as firm as a steel cable. The evening ended with "Sleep," as Carter arranged it in 1939 and included Jones's only solo of the night, in which he just broke it up in business. A second evening concert, in Philharmonic Hall, exhibited the bands of Bobby Rosengarden, Billy Taylor and Thad Jones-Mel Lewis. Rnsenearden.

Of the 12 million people 65 and over in 1952, one is six got monthly Social Security checks and half lived with relatives, according to Joseph W. Houston, Social Security district manager in Staunton. "Today there are more than 20 million people 65 and over," he said. "Four out of five get Social Security checks and one in three live with relatives." Social Security may have contributed to the live-alone trend, according to Mr.

Houston. "A study shows that most people 65 and over prefer to live on their own if they have enough income," he said. "And Social Security payments have become the largest single share of their income now about 34 per cent." Since 1952, the average monthly Social Security check paid to a retired worker has increased from $50 to $131. The number of people who get Social Security retirement benefits has increased from 2 million to nearly 17 million. "Some of the people getting retirement checks are under 65," Mr.

Houston said. "They include wives, dependent husbands, and children of retired workers plus retired workers who begin collecting reduced benefits at 62, 63, or 64." "But more than nine out of 10 people 65 and over are eligible for Social Security payments," he noted. "And two out of three of them prefer to live by themselves as' married couples or single people." Four out of five married couples with one member 65 or over now live apart from relatives compared to two out of three in 1952. Three out of five single people 65 or over live alone now compared to half the single men and two in five single women in 1952, the study shows. The study was conducted by the Social Security Administration of the U.S.

Department of Health, Education and Welfare. The Staunton Social Security office is located at 1426 N. Augusta St. The telephone number if 886-0765. Anyone with a Social Security or Medicare question is invited to write, or stop by the office during business hours from 8:30 a.m.-5 p.m.
