Pagt Independent-Record, Sunday, May 28, 1944 Independent-Record State News Camp on Desert In Chile Is Weird Spot Montana Engineer Tells of His Very Lofty Home Billings, May only a camp, but it has 25,000 people in it. It lies at an elevation of 10,000 feet, there is no rainfall and the sun shines 365 days in the year. Such is the locale described by B. P. Caldwell, who formerly was a teacher in the high school here, in a letter to friends in Billings.

Mr. Caldwell now is with the Chile Exploration company as an engineer and the place he depicts is Huqul Canata, Cb.Ue. He says he can look out his back door and see two volcanoes, one in Bolivia and the other in Argentina. They are 70 miles or more distant. "The camp," Caldwell wrote, "has a population of 2 0 0 0 0 Two hundred of the total speak English, so learning Spanish is a necessity.

Mrs. Caldwell has quite a time trying to direct a maid and order groceries. Living is high, with the exception of T-bone steaks at 30 cents a pound. However, that is the only cut we have good. This beef can't compare in any respect with Montana's." Mr.

Caldwell seems to like his job but he'll be glad when the day comes to start home to Montana. Social Security Board Manager Says Benefits Often Lapse Because Those Entitled Do Not File Claims Miles City, May W. Brunei', manager of the Billings office of the social security board, said while here that people should keep well informed, at first hand, about the security system. Inaccurate advice from i however well meant, lie declared, can cause people serious loss. Especially is this as regarding to old-age benefits and survivors' insurance, Mr.

Bruner stressed. Widows, children and parents can lose checks because they do not know they are entitled to them. To make sure a the intent of the law is i and that all those entitled to benefits under it reap the advantage of the security system. Mr. Bruner advises that those who pass the age of 65, after engaging in insured employment, get in touch at once with the nearest social security agency that they may learn their exact status.

The board will assist him--or her--in filing claims, if any. In the case of death, survivors who may benefit under the insurance clause should lose no time in laying possible claims before their boaid. Mr. Bruner says he knows of claims a have gone unpaid because those entitled to benefits had been old by friends who had been supposed to know, that no benefits were possible.
