KNOW YOUR SOCIAL SECURITY
F. E. Bettendorf, representative of lb Social Security Ad*
ministration, is in Edenton ayary Thursday at. tha North Caro,
lina Employment Security Commission in Citizens Bank
Building. .
The banner of America is pro
' gress; and the goal of that pro
gress is a better life for all the
people. And this is the measure
of progress—how do the people,
how does the individual citizen
fare?
During his productive years, in
a prosperous nation such as ours,
the working man and his family
fare well. And retirement does
not end this happy state of af
fairs. For medical science has
steadily increased the life span,
and has eliminated, or drastically
curtailed many of the diseases
which once afflicted older people.
Today a retiring worker can rea- j
sonably anticipate long life, good
health, and leisure time in which j
to enjoy the fruits of his labor, |
and pursue the hobby, social and j
civic activity, and cultural inter
est he didn’t have time for during |
his working years. Moreover, by !
the exercise of reasonable dili-!
gence and foresight, he can make 1
his retirement financially secure, i
The man of foresight will plan |
the economic aspects of retire
ment, for this is the cornerstone
of the better life for retired per-1
sons and their dependents. In- j
surance, annuities, capital invest
ments. home ownership, and com-'
pany pensions will be considered.
And he will not forget h : s social
security, thetJs, his old-age in- 1
surance. This is an asset too of
ten overlooked. It is available to
nearly all, (over 9 out of 10)
working Americans, and provides
g foundation upon wh ch a finan
cially secure retirement may be
built.
This social security program
provides that upon retirement, in
sured workers arc e’igible for
monthly benefits ranging from
$24 to $108.50. The retired work
er’s wife is also eligible for
monthly benefits. The minimum
payable to a retired worker and (
dependents is generally $45 —the
maximum S2OO.
It is recognized that compjete j
idleness, even for retired persons, ;
cannot be considered a better life, |
or even a good life, for it is alien
to progress and the American
tradition. Many persons, after re
tirement, secure part-time em
ployment or self-employment in 1
'addition to the hobbies or other j
interests pursued in leisure time, j
In the case of the less provident, i
or less fortunate retired worker,
this additional earned income is
needed to supplement retirement
income. In view of these reali
ties, the old age insurance pro-
provides that once he reach- |
es retirement age, an insured j
worker is considered retired, and j
may collect full benefit payments,
even though he earns as much as
SI2OO a year; and a worker is con
sidered partially retired, and may
collect some benefits, if his earn
ings Mhge between and
s2oßg It year. A „who
earn* more than S2OBO in
and earns more than SBO wages
each month, or is active in self- I
employment each month, is not ;
considered retired, and may not
collect any monthly benefits.
The income restriction does not
apply to a social security bene
ficiary aged 72 or older; and it
applies only to earned income
(that is, wages or net earnings
from self employment).
The social security program al
so makes provision for benefit (
payment to disabled workers at
age 50, disabled children or re
tired or deceased insured work
ers, and survivors of deceased in
sured workers (widows, children
under 18, disabled children or j
aged dependent parents).

, This old age and survivors in
surance program (better known
I as social security) is characteristic
! of the spirit of America, and the
l spirit of progress. It contributes
■ to progress in that it helps to
1 provide a better life for nearly
all the people, young and old,
able-bodied and disabled, wage
earner and self-employed, work
er and the retired person. A
measure of financial security is
provided either in the form or
actual benefit payments, or valu
able insurance protection against l
the loss of earned income due to'
retirement, disability or death.

District Supervisors
Take Oath Os Office
District supervisors of the Al
bemarle Soil Conservation Dis
trict were administered the
oath of office at the regular meet
ing of the board Wednesday
night, May 14. The meeting was
held in Currituck County at
Dr. Romm’s cottage on Currituck
Sound. Ralph Saunders, Clerk of
Court for Currituck County, will
administer the oath.
Since the first district law was
passed in 1937, district supervis
ors have been elected by vote of
the people but have failed to take
the oath of offiee. This year the
State Attorney General ruled that
all district supervisors should
have been taking the oath of of
fice and that as state officers they
would have to be administered
the oath before they could serve
on the board.
Bryce Younts, state administra
tive officer for the State Soil
Conservation Committee, was
present at the meeting. He
visited in Chowan County Wed
nesday to see some conservation
work on district cooperators’
farms.
A short talk on Soil Steward
ship by a minister from Curri
tuck County was on the program.
This week, May 11, through May
18, is Soil Stewardship Week, and
js being observed locally as well
as nationwide in over 2,700 soil
conservation districts.
