They are going to demand certain elementary guarantees for a decent life In order to build a better world, he said, we must recognize the citizens right to have a minimum standard of food.

SECURITY BENEFIT With defense industries calling for workers of all ages, men and women who are receiving retirement benefits under the Social Security Act were warned here today to notify the Social Security Boards Ogden office if they go back to work. Of course the Social Security Board does net discourage etired workers from Manager D. B. going back to work, Snyder of the Boards Ogden office said, but they must rememlber to tell us when they do so. As stated in the award letter they received when their claims were approved, they cannot receive their retirement benefits during any month in which they earn more than $14.99 on a job that comes under the Social Security Act. This is a matter of law. Manager Snyder explained, and there is a penalty for disregarding it. The penalty causes a loss of two monthly payments for every one that should not have been paid. MISSIONARY LETTER Denison, Texas, November 19, 1941. Dear Brother Marshall: Just a note to tell you how much I enjoy the Reaper. To find out what is going on back there in zion is a real help to me. It i9 almost like getting a letter from home. Tomorrow, Nov. 20th, will mark my 12th month in the mission field and I can truly say that I have enjoyed all of them. The time is not far off when Ill have to leave these good people probably never to see them again, and it will be almost like leaving home. Being out here and seeing the conditions under which other people have 1o live, I have had my testimony strengthened a great deal, and has made me realize more the opporunity and privilege I have of living out there. Most of all, the gospel, it is the most important thing there is, for it truly is the power of God unto salvation to all that But 'there are so many of us obey. that do not realize it until its too late. I would that every young person in the church could go on a mission for there are things that we learn here that cannot be had any other place. True, it is hard at times to cope with the things that really make us strong if we can overcome them and we will always find joy in looking back over those experiences. I pray that we as Latter Day Saints will sense the responsibility of living our religion because the eyes of the world are upon us. So may our lights so shine that the people of the world will look up to us as a standard to follow, is my prayer.
