Colorful new containers, each clearly marked for a particular kind of waste
help reduce losses from waste at the Karastan Rug Mill. The yellow containers are
easily distinguished from trash containers, which are painted gray. Looking at dis
play stressing the importance of keeping waste separated from trash are Clara
Gravely and Harvey Griffin, both of the Cut Order Department.
O’Brien Explains New
Soc. Sec. Provisions
For Disabled Workers
Five full years of work covered by
social security is enough to qualify a
severely disabled worker for cash dis
ability benefits, W. L. O’Brien, district
manager of the Greensboro social secur
ity office, reminds workers and their
families.
The five years of work must be earn
ed in the 10-year period just preceding
the onset of the disability, and the dis
ability itself must be of at least six
months duration and of sufficient se
verity that the insured worker is unable
to do any kind of substantial work.
Age Limit Is Removed
Until September of 1960, no disability
benefits could be paid to the disabled
worker before his 50th birthday, but
with the enactment of the 1960 amend
ments this age limit has been removed.
Disability benefits for workers under
50 years of age who meet the require
ments began with the month of Novem
ber, 1960.
Before the enactment of the 1960
amendments, many disabled workers
under 50 years of age had taken ad
vantage of a provision to “freeze” their
social security records to protect their
future benefit rights. These persons do
not need to furnish additional evidence
of disability, but do need to file an ap
plication. Most of them have received
a letter giving them this information.
Mr. O’Brien urges all disabled work
ers who believe they are eligible under
the new law to inquire at their local
office if they have not already done so.
Karastan Operators
Given Quality Awards
The Karastan Rug Mill has awarded

awards are efficiency, seconds, burling
costs, housekeeping and yield.

attractive certificates bearing the names
of the weavers and fixers and calling
attention to the outstanding results
achieved in the month of April.
The awards are made monthly as
part of a new program giving recogni
