.Question: I have just learned
that my husband, from whom I
have been separated for several
, years, is receiving social security
old-age benefits. I am 63 and
, have never worked under social
■. security and have been support
ed enirely by my. da ugh ter. Can
I qualify for social security bene
fits?
Answer: Yes. It appears that
you may be eligible for benefits
beginning with September 1957 if
your husband was receiving bene
fits at that time. You would not
have been eligible for wife's'
benefits before September 1957
unless you had been “living with”
your husband but the “living
with" requirement was removed
for both wife’s and widow’s bene
fits by the 1957 amendments to
the Social Security Act.
Question: -After my husband
and I were permanently separat
. . ed ten years ago I did house
work until I reached 65 and qual
ified for old-age insurance bene
fits of S3O a month based upon
my own low earnings. I have
now heard that my husband is
retired and is getting old-age
benefits of $98.80 a month. Can
I receive any wife’s benefit even
though I am separated from him
and getting payments on my own
social security earnings?
Answer: Yes. The require
ment that a wife must have been
with” her husband to be- ■
come enitled to wife’s benefits
was removed by the Social Se
curity amendments of 1957. The
facts you give indicate that your
wife’s benefit would be $19.40 a i
month since one-ltalf of your
husband's benefit would be $49.40
which must then be deduced by,
the S3O you arte receiving fbn your j
own account.

v Poultry Production *
This type of enterprise can be
made very profitable if ptoperly
carrffcd oat.' Now ts -Jrgoird time
to get started with your day old
j chicks ‘if you have not" already
done so.
The success in raising baby
chicks will depend on the fol
lowing things: .
1. Have a good brooder house.
2. Start with healthy chicks.
3. Use the right equipment.
1 4. iFeed a balanced high qual
ity ration.
5. Follow proven manage
* ment practices. *
The brooder house and equip
ment should be prepared thor
oughly before the chicks arrive.
. The house should be sanitary,
; properly ventilated (free from
dampness) and equipped with a
■ dependable source of adjustable
heat ;
Ope should raise from 95 to 98
per cent of the chicks started.
Your chicks should come from
parent stock that has been bred j
for egg production if you plan j
‘to keep the pullets for layers or
from rapid producers of meat if
•they will be used for' broilers.
In either case they should be
free from pullorum disease. Start
\ your chicks early so they, will be
in production when prices of
eggs are high.
It takes about six months for
pqllets to reach maturity, so get
i them right away. Some people
' like to wait until all colid weath
er is over so they will not have
to furnish heat to Jceep them
warm. Bue we feel, that the
difference in the quality of
chicks started in January, Feb- 1
ruary or March is well worth
Ihe difference in the cost itji
thkes to raise chicks during cold
'seasons and that it takes to raise
•them in warm weather or sum
mer months.
tWhere only broods of chicks
■ "is .started each year, those started-*
in February or March should be
I ‘ best. !
<•.,' | The brooders, feeders and wa
iterers and any other equipment'
should be just as thoroughly!
-dean as the brooder house. Af
the house and equipment
' have.been cleaned, they should be
_vpfrmitted to air out a few days
|»*Hor weeks before the new chicks
» Jarrive. Be sure several inches of
W clean dry litter is spread on the
.flpor; the feeders are filled; wa-j
.terers are in place and the brood-1
r ver heat is at the rigid tfmpera-|
iture (#o*9s degrees) .and well*

Question: Several years ago I
applied for widow’s insurance
benefits but my application was
disallowed because my husband
had left me and so I was not
living with him at the time of his
death. Is it true that the law was
changed last year and that “liv
ing with” is no longer a require
ment for wife’s and widow’s
benefits?
Answer: Yes. Beginning Sep
tember 1957, widow’s benefits
may be paid if the widow has at- i
' tained age 62 and is otherwise
' qualified even though she was not
living with her husband at the
time of his death. The “living
with” requirement was also re
moved for wives of workers who
are receiving old-age benefits.
Question: I understand that
the requirement that a wife o\-
widow must have been living
with her husband in order to re
ceive social security benefits
based upon his earnings has been
removed. However, when I ap
plied for a lump-sum death pay
ment in December, I was inform
ed that I was not eligible since I
was not living with my husband.
What is the true situation?
Answer: “Living with” is no
longer a requirement for entitle
ment to wife’s or widow’s month
ly benefits. The change does not,
however, apply to lump-sum
death payments. A widow is eli
j gible to receive a lump-sum
death payment if she and her
husband* lived together at the
time of his death, or if he was
contributing to her support or
i was under court order to con
tribute. If this “living with” re
quirement is not met, the lump:
I sum death payment is payable to
j the person who paid the burial
expenses.
over-crowding or over-heating or I
both during the brooding period.
You should provide at least one
square foot’of floor space in the
brooder house for each chick to
be raised. Os coui-se this looks
like surplus room for the three or
four weeks, but .after that time
there will bo no surplus floor
space. Provide enough waterers
and feeds.so each chick will have
at least one inch of space at the
feed trough and one and one-half j
inch of space at the water foun-j
tain during the first three weeks. |
More feeding and drinking space j
will be needed as the chicks j
grow. %
Chicks will grow better if they |
have plenty of room and are kept i
in a cool house that has a brood- 1
er to supply the heat when need-'

Trifi CHOW AH HERALD. EDEITTQN, NORTH CAROLINA, THURSDAY. MARCH 6, ISE3,
ed.
Operate ;the brooder stove at a
■temperature 90 to 95 degrees F„
at the edge of the hover and on
level the chicks heads. The
temperature can be reduced
about five degrees each week un
til 70 degrees is reached or until
no heat is needed. Os course the
practice will vary with different
weather conditions. The behavior
of the chicks will be the best
guide for operating the brooder
stove. At night they will be bed
ded down in a ring around the
edge of the hover if the"heat is
all right, while in the day time
they will be eating feed and
drinking water. It is a good
practice to place the water foun
! tains on wire covered platforms.
I This helps to keep the litter dry.
The frame can be built of one by
four inch boards and covered
with one-half inch mesh hard
ware cloth.
Remember to feed liberally.
Give the chicks fine scratch for
the first twenty-four hours and
then feed a starting mesh. Do
not feed a cheap feed. You will
raise healthier and better devel
oped pullets if you can grow them
on agree nrange. Then, too, a
saving of mashes and grain can
be expected by providing green
grazing crops. Remember to
raise your pullets separate from
old birds. If you will follow
these practices, you should have
good pullets when they are hous
ed at laying time.
