SECTION TWO Up'}*' /Mft>g:.; : '> A giant has toppled. Ernest Hemingway is dead. For Whom The Bell Tolls now becomes a' prophetic requiem; for the giant in the forest of American litera ture now lies felled, and his branches will nevermore cast iheir long snadows over those wfio loved his work. One of the bugaboos that blight a columnist’s life, especially on a weekly paper, where often much time elapses between writ ing and printing, is to have a piece written and in type, and then find that some other fel-j low had the same idea —and, probably wrote it better. That ■ has happened to me several times, but when a deadline Lsj staring , you in the face there is I nbthing much that can be done about it but print it. As the KNOW YOUR SOCIAL SECURITY < John T. Grooms, representative of the Social Security ; Administration, is in Ldenlon every Thursday at the No..h Carolina Employment Security Commission office in the ] Citizens Bank Building. j The new amendments to the Social Security Law, signed by President Kennedy last week, give men early benefit rights similar to those women have had since 1956. The change applies to men between sixty-two and sixty-five years of age, and is designed especially to help those who are unable to find employment be cause of their age or poor health. , A man now sixty-two to sixty five years of age can start re ceiving benefits with the month of August, 1961. But if he re tires before he reaches age sixty-five, the monthly amount of benefit paid to him is re duced. He will continue to be paid the reduced amount even after he reashes sixty-five. Dependent widowers and the dependent fathers of workers who have died also can get benefits at age sixty-two. Their benefits, like those of widows and dependent mothers, are not reduced. For men who retire early, the | amount by which their benefits will be reduced depends on the 1 number of months for which they will receive benefits while still under sixty-five. A worker who retires and claims his bene fits as soon as he reaches sixty two will qualify for eighty per cent ■of the amount that would be payable to him at age sixty fjve based on his average earn ings up until his retirement. If he waits until he is sixty-three, he will get eighty-six and two thirds per cent of his full bene fit; and if he waits until sixty four, the amount will be ninety three and one-third per cent. The reductions are figured so that a person may expect to re ceive, on the average, about the same amount if he takes reduced benefits beginning before he is sixty-five, or waits until sixty five. Members of. the immediate family of a retired worker can get dependents’ benefits if the worker retires at sixty-two or if he waits. Eligible dependents include a wife sixty-two or old er, or a wife at any age if she has in her care children who are eligible ' for benefits. The child of a retired worker is eli gible if he is rinder age eighteen or if he has 'been totally dis abled since childhood.

As movies go, the picture was not altogether bad, but as a portrayal of the sweeping epic of Sir Henry Morgan, it was a dismal failure. The story of a I pirate who became a governor, i and who inflamed the world, i now and then, with his deeds of j daring and imagination, has enough human-interest-packed | drama to fill a dozen movies. But Morgan The Pirate was nothing but an action-packed provision of benefits at age sixty-two for men will help to alleviate the hardships faced by that group of men who, be j cause of ill health, automation, l or other technological change, 1 are forced into premature re | tirement before age sixty-five.” I I For more information about I this change in the law and the I other changes made by the new ; amendments to the law, ask your nearest Social Security Office for your free copy of Leaflet No. 1.
