About 1,300 people in Cleve land County will receive higher social security payments as a result of the social security a mendments which President Truman signed into law last Fri day. The first increased checks will be for the month of Septenv ber, delivered early In October. \ Miss Margaret Lowder, mana ger of the Gastonia social secur ity office, emphasized that no one needs to apply for the in creased payments'. "The Social Security Administration is al xeady changing the amounts," she pointed out. "We expect to get them changed in time to have them in the mail October 3, the regular delivery date, but if In a few cases we don't meet that schedule we'll send the reg ular check and make up the dif ference in a latfcr check." Miss Lowder pointed out that | although nearly every family re ceiving payments would receive | an increase, the additional a mount would not always be di vided among all the members of the family receiving monthly checks. In some cases the entire Increase will go to the retired worker. Under terms of the law, most families will get an increase of about $5.00; some will get less, some will get more.

KINGS MOUNTAIN DRUG COMPANY FbWM 41 CBMl tl THE 8EXALL STORE will be based on earnings after 1950 instead of after 1936. The amended law provides a new formula for determining the a mount of the payments in these cases. Under it. a retired work ers monthly benefit would be 55 percent of the first $100 of his average monthly earnings plus 7 ??Lcent ?* tlie remainder up to $300., y Beginning September 1, the new law Increased to $75 a mon th instead of $50 the amount of -beneficiary may earn and still receive the monthly . Se1^ employed people entitled to old-age and survivors Insurance benefits irfay receive the payments for each month of the year If their net earnings over"&?e entirC year are not The amended law contains a provision of special importance to self ? employed people who have retired or plan to retire during 1952. Before the passage of the amendments their earn ings for the year in which an ap plication was made could not 'be used to figure their old-age ben efit payments. Now. those self employed people who originally applied for -benefits in 1952 may re-apply at the close of the tax able year and have their 1952 earnings used in figuring their monthly benefit payments. in general, this will Increase the monthly benefit payment to self employed persons. A similar change in the law now permits insured wage earn ers who retire in 1952 to have their wages for this year used immediately in figuring the a* mount of their benefit pay ments. Heretofore, it was neces sary for them to come back af ter the end of the year in order to have all of their covered wa ges for 1952 included in the computation of the benefit a mount. Another amendment allows beneficiaries aged 75 or over al ready on the rolls to take advan tage of the higher benefit pay ments. provided under the new formula, if they have had at least a year and a half of cover ed work after 1950. The amended law allows soci al security wage credits of $160 for each month of active mili tary or naval service after July 64, 1947. This provision is simply an extension of the one which already gives social security wage credits to servicemen of World War II. It applies to ser vice in the armed forces up to January l, 1954. Of advantage to the survivors of deceased service people in a provision in the amended law extending the time for claiming a lump-sum death payment. This applies to sericemen who die a broad and are later returned to the United States f0r burial or reburial. Survivors who pay the burial expenses may now claim reimbursement up to two years after the reburial instead of two years after the serviceman's death.

Sihcerely, Pansy and A1 Rolston Congress Passed New GI Bill Education and training benefits comparable to those for World War II veterans in the original GI Bill are provided for veterans who have served in the armed forces anywhere since June 27, 1950, under terms of the nevy^GI Bill for Korean veterans which became law with the President's signature on July 16. | . The new law took effect on that date, but no training allowances may be paid for any period prior to August 20. A veteran is allowed one and one-half days of training for each day he had in service after the outbreak of the Korean fightug ? regardless of where the ser vice was performed ? up to a maximum of 36 months. However, veterans who have previously trained under earlier veterans' training laws ? the World War II GI Bill or Public Laws 16 or 894 for the disabled ? may get up to 48 months, minus whatever time they have already spent in training under those earlier programs. A veteran may train in school or college, on-the-job or on-the farm, so long as the school or training establishment has been approved by an appropriate State Approving Agency and meets ot her qualific Htons of the law. On ly one change of course program is allowed, except under certain conditions determined by the VA. Veterans in GI Bill training will receive an education and training allowance each month from the Government, to meet part of the expenses of iheir training and living costs. Tuition, books, sup plies and equipment will not be paid by the Government. Instead, they will have to be paid out of the monthly allowance. Rates for veterans in full-time training in schools and colleges range from $110 to $160 per month, .depending on the number of dependents. Those in training less than full time will receive lower monthly rates. For-on-the job trainees the top monthly rates vary from $70 to $105. For insti tutional on-farm trainees the rates range from $95 to $130. The law requires that On-job and on farm rates be reduced, at four month Intervals, as the training progresses and the veteran's own earnings Increase. It also speci fies that veterans taking institu tional on-farm training must de vote full time to their program. The ancient Romans greatly advanced the art of glass-Wow ing.

Kings Mountain Drag Company THE REX ALL STOlRE Phonos 41 ? 81 Wi Call For and Doltoot . - Southern Bell Asks . Wage Adjustment The Southern Bell Telephone Co. last week filed an applica tion with the North Carolina U tlllties Commission asking an ad justment In rates to offset the effects of a general wage increase Just approved by the Wage Stabi lization Board retroactive to June 8. The amount of additional an nual gross revenue sought is ap proximately $800,000. North Car olina Manager Harvey G. Booth pointed out the amount being re quested is only the specific cost incurred in connection with the increased wages applicable to in tra-state operations, negotiated through collective bargaining. Filing of the petition for re vision of certain Southern Bell rates had been expected in view of the WSB approval and of an earlier Company statement that increased costs would necessitate increased telephone rates. "The new wage levels just ap proved place an additional load on our financial operations," Mr. Booth said. "As a result, our earn ings will be forced down to an inadequate level. "By seeking to recover just the cost incurred in the recent wage negotiations, we are asking only that Southern Bell earnings be restored to the level set by the commission."
