KNOW YOUR SOCIAL SECURITY
John T. Grooms, representative of the Social Security
Administration, is in Edenton every Thursday at the Noilh
C*Tfrl»*m Employment Security Commission office in the
Citizens Bank Building.
... Clergymen have been given a;
' aecond chance to elect Social |
* Security coverage. The I 960:
| Amendments to the Social Se
t** curity Act allow ministers more 1
| time to get Social Security pro-|
t tection for themselves and for
their families.
Ministers were first offered
* Social Security protection in j
J 1955. For most, they had un- j
til April 15, 1959, to elect this
> coverage. Since then, Social Sc-,
. curity coverage has been avail- 1
-.able only to newly ordained
V ministers.
| • The 1960 changes give all
.ministers until April 15, 1962, to
i' s make their decision about So
| cial Security coverage. Minis
> ters are the only grouo who
can, as individuals, elect cov
,. erage under Social Security.
) They do this- by signing a spe- j
>■ cial Internal Revenue Service
.-form called a “waiver certifi
i cate”. For Social Security pur
poses, a minister who elects cov-'
r etage reports his and;
' pays the self-employment tax as
0 do self-employed people who are
covered. The church or insti-
I tution he serves is not involved.
: The minister makes the decision,
signs the waiver, and pays the
taxes on his own.

. | In figuring annual earnings
.) for Social Security purposes, a
I! minister includes the value of
! fiis parsonage, meals, and lodg
-11 ings furnished him, ,in addition
jto his salary, fees, and other
customary cash income. He re
ports his earnings and pay the
tax once a year. The Social
i Security return is a part of his
i income tax return. A minister
who sent in Social Security tax
es without first signing the re
quired waiver certificate would
not get Social Security cover
| age. The waiver must be sign
i ed first.
Since the Social Security Act
was changed in 1954, about 140,-
000 ministers have elected cov
erage under the Social Security
system. This represents about
70 per cent of the 200,000 who
are eligible for coverage. There
is a variance among faiths in
j the degree to whicl) their min
| isters have voluntarily come un-
I der Social Security. Os the
| 170,000 eligible Protestant min
; isters, 135,000 or 80 per cent,
have elected coverage. Six
thousand, or 20 per cent of 30,-
000 Roman Catholic clergy eligi
ble for coverage have taken it.
Os 3,300 eligible Jewish clergy,
3,000 or 92 per cent have elect
ed coverage.
j | our citizenry.
|« Now a brief story about a
I! citizen that left Edenton quite
I some time ago and made .good.
His .name is L. Joseph Overton,
! and I’m wondering how many
friends might remember him,
particularly those who are
| members of the Kadesh A.M.E.
1 Zion Church in our area. Mr.
Overton was born in Edenton
|in 1920, but raised in 'New
York City. However, he quite
J frequently comes back to visit
. his family in town? which in
-1 ciudes three nephews, a niece,
an uncle, a sister-in-law and an
extremely proud mother, Mrs.
Penelope Overton, 'll6 East Gale
Street. Overton is a labor lead
er in Harlem and is running as
a member of the City Council.
He’s also treasurer of the Fair
Employment Equal' Opportunity
Committee, vice president of the
Negro American Labor Council,
delegate to the Negro Labor As
sembly, a Mason, Odd Fellow,
Elk and Shriner. L. Joseph
Overton is married and the fa
ther of four children. His fath
er is the late Oscar Overton.
Thanks go to Toby Johnson
and Bill Barnum for taking over
“Reveille With Roberts” last
week while we took a quick
trip to Baltimore. My parents
are from there and most of my
relatives whom I love dearly,
still reside there. Baltimore )S
a very interesting city* differ
ent than most, older than most, |
slower than most in meeting:
twentieth century demands, but
just now coming around to vast
improvements in building, trans
portation and the like. On the
way out of Baltimore, going into
Washington, D. C., we passed
ten bus-loads of freedom riders.
They were met in the -outskirts |
of the nation’s capital by motor- 1
cycle patrolmen. Amongst oth-l
er things, they managed to tie |
up traffic and came near caus-j
ing at least one accident. In
cidentally, did you ever see a
bus stopped and given a speed
ing ticket? For that .matter
did you ever see a bus foingj
the speed limit? How do they
get away with it? A good rash
of bus accidents lately should,
serve as a caution. Big doings
in October with the fair get
ting under way. I suppose to
get the kiddie rides, the so
called games mus( be taken as
a part of the contract, or some
thing, but they’re sucker af
fairs, if you could win they
wouldn’t be in business for so
long. So, enjoy the fair, the
activities, the rides, but cheek
yourself before the so-called j
game booths. By the way, i
there’ll be big doings in No
vember, of particular interest to
those in the rural area, and
there’s a good chance of a visit
from Governor Sanford.
Closing Thought: The sum of
all that makes a just man happy
consists in the well choosing
of his wife.
