“Sit down, Mrs. Lockhart. You too, Fred. Did you bring the farm records we talked about?”
“Yes, sir. Here they are.”
Panel #2 -- “These records of Mr. Lockhart’s earnings show he was insured under social security. We can pay you $255 in a lump sum!
Panel #3 -- And in addition, you’re entitled to a monthly family benefit. Let me see. . .For a widow with three children, with Mr. Lockhart’s earnings about $200 a month.”
Panel #4 -- “Fred, do you think we should rent the farm to Mr. Tinker? We could move into town until you finish school.”
“Great! With our social security check, the rent and what I can earn after school, we can get along.”
Panel #5 -- Fred could have saved himself a lot of heartache if he’d inquired at the social security office promptly after his father’s death. But all’s well that ends well. Fred’s future was Rosy again. . .
Panel #6 -- And his present was. . .safe!
