Original caption: Panel #1 -- Then one day, like a bolt out of the blue it happened!. . .Fred’s father died.
“I’m the man of the family now. Nobody’s left to take care of them. . .but me.”
Panel #2 -- With almost all their meager savings gone, Fred’s future was bleak and his present was bitter. . .
“There’s nobody else to run the farm. We have no choice, Mom… I have to quit school!”
Panel #3 -- “You’re sure you’ll have to drop out, Fred?”
“Do you think I’m leaving because I want to, Coach?”
Panel #4 -- Fred felt trapped. He felt he had nobody to turn to. . .he was alone.
“Fred!”
Panel #5 -- “Coach – good to see you. . .sorry I blew up at you the other day!”
“Forget it, Fred. Say, have you stopped in at the Social Security Office?”
Panel #6 -- “Social Security? That’s for old folks, isn’t it?”
“No, it means more than that, Fred. Social Security benefits can be paid to a worker’s family when he dies.”
