PAGE FOUR ;—n Women Affected By Change In Law By JACK TATEM District Manager Among the changes in the social security program recently signed into law by President Johnson are a number of special signific ance to women. Chief among them is a change that will make about 175,000 children elig ible for monthly payments. It changes the conditions for determining dependency upon a working mother. Until now, for a child, to be considered dependent upon his mother and there fore eligible for monthly payments when she died, retired or became dis abled, she needed to have worked under social secur ity for at least IVi years out of the last three years, unless she was actually supporting the child. The amendments elimin ate this recent-work re quirement. Beginning with checks in March, 1968, benefits are payable to the child of a woman worker who has died, retired, or become entitled to social security disability benefits if she has accumulated L A.

That brings me to the penny-wise, vitamin-packed turnip. It’s in peak supply now, at 10< a pound. Most people like them mashed and seasoned with butter or margarine. But remember, if you have an electric range, always boil your vegetables in a small amount of water and in a tightly-covered sauce pan. Personally, I prefer half turnips and half potatoes, cooked in boiling! salted water till tender, then drained and mashed with! light cream or butter till fluffy. Another flavor surprise is to cook them in beef consomme (one 1014 oz. can to 2 lbs. of turnips) until tender. Drain and mash the turnips till fluffy, then add a 14 teaspoon of sugar and 2 table spoons of chopped parsley before serving. And here’s a recipe that should be on your list of spe cials. LEMON-PARSLEYED TURNIPS. Pare turnips and cut into sticks (as you would potatoes for french fry ing) till you have 2 cups. Boil in salted water until just tender, 10 or 15 minutes. Drain and add 1 tablespoon butter or margarine, 2 teaspoons snipped parsley, 1 finely chopped onion and 1 teaspoon lemon juice. Toss to coat evenly. Makes 4 superb servings, and the cost, about 28*. The cost of electricity to cook it, less than U. Quite a bargain, electricity. Think about that when you’re boiling your thrifty turnips. enough social security cre dit to be “fully insured,” whether or not those cre dits were for recent work under social security. Seme widowers who were dependent on a wife at the time of the wife’s death and some husbands who were dependent on a wife at the time of her retire ment or disability may now also get benefits under this provision. Another very important change in the law makes it possible for the disabled widow, or disabled divorc ed wife, or a worker to re ceive disability benefits be ginning at age 50. This provision also applies to the disabled widower who was dependent upon his wife at the time of her death. Under the old law a wi dow could not get social security benefits until she reached 60, unless she had in her care a child who was entitled to payments based on her husband’s earnings. Now a widow whose hus band has worked long enough under social secur ity can be eligible for monthly benefits as early as age 50 if she is severe ly “disabled.” A widow is considered “disabled” if she has a mental or physi cal impairment so severe that it keeps her from per forming any gainful activ ity, and the condition has lasted (as is expected to last) 12 months or longer. Age, education and work experience, which are con sidered in the case of the disabled worker, are not considered. In general, you can be eligible for widow’s bene fits only if your disability started before or within seven years after your hus band’s death. However, if you received benefits as a widow with children, you could be eligible for the new benefits if your disab ility started before the other payments ended, or within seven years after they ended. Payments can start with the seventh full month of your disability. The first month for which benefits THE CHOWAN HERALD, EDENTON, NORTH CAROLINA, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY R, 1965. can be paid is March, 1968. If you were divorced from your husband before his death after 20 or more years of marriage, but were receiving support from him at the time of his death (or he was under a court order to provide support), you may be eligible for the new benefits. The amount may be as low as 50 per cent of the benefit the deceased work er would have received, or may be as high as 82% per cent, depending on the age at which the widow begins to get benefits. For ex ample, if you became dis abled at age 50 and began receiving disability bene fits, you would receive 50 per cent of the amount your husband would save received; if you started getting benefits at age 55 it would be 60% per cent. As under the old law, the full amount of a widow's benefit—payable at 62 —is 82% per cent of your de ceased husband’s retire ment benefit. If you start receiving widow’s disability benefits at an earlier age under the new law, the re duced rate will continue after age 62 as well. This change in the law is expected to make pay able S6O million in the first 12 months to some 65,000 persons who have not been able to work long enough to become eligible for disability bene fits on their own work rec ords following the death of a wage earner.

Divi sion, who gained fame by breaking the vaunted Hin denburg Line in 1918, will gather in a social reunion at Fontana Village May 24- 26, 50 years after their combat experience in France during the first world war. Broadus Bailey, past president of the group, estimates that only a few hundred men have surviv ed. He points out that the average age of the surviv ors is over 70. Host group for the re union is the Tar Heel Chapter of the 30th Divi sion Association, made up predominately of World War II veterans of the same division, which gain ed the reputation of being the “Workhorse of the Western Front.” The division fought con tinuously from the beaches of Normandy in June, 1944, until the cessation of hos tilities in May of 1945, at which time they had push ed to the Elbe River, not many miles from Berlin, where they were ordered to wait for the meeting with advance units of the Russians. Gen. S. L. A. Marshall, official historian of the ETO, wrote “At the request of Gen. Eisenhower, we were instructed to draw up a rating sheet on the divi sions, infantry and armor and report which divisions we considered had per formed the most efficient and consistent battle ser vice. The 30th Division was No. 1 in the combined judgment of the 35 histor ical officers who worked on the records. It was our finding that the 30th had been outstanding in three operations, any one of which would merit the presidential citation. It was further found that it had in no single instance performed discreditably or weakly when considered against the average of the theater. . . . We had to keep looking at the balance of things always and we felt that the 30th was the outstanding infantry divi sion of the ETO.” Correct? It seems that modem statesmen can't tell a lie, either.

SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON ETERNAL LIFE FOR MORTAL MAN International Sunday School Lesson for March 3 Memory Selection: “I am the Resurrection, and the Life; he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: and whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die.”— John 11:25-26. Lesson Text: John 11. The nucleus of today’s lesson is based on the fact that Jesus, as the great life giver, demon strates His authority over death and emphasizes and delineates His claim to be the Resurrection and the Life—as witness the story of Lazarus, who was raised from the dead. In this lesson we witness the faith of Mary and Martha, sisters of Lazarus; we also hear the affirmation of faith by Jesus himself as—out side the tomb of his friend. He cried unto God: "Father—l thank thee that thou hast heard me.” This, you will note, is a positive statement, couched in the past tense. Before the people, Jesus was manifesting His Messiahship, His close communion with God, and His power over life and death. Before Jesus came mio ine world the resur rection of the dead on Judgment Day was a doctrine of the Pharisees; after His advent, it became an experience. “I am the resurrection, and the life,” declared Jesus, “and whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die . . . ” (John 11:25-26). Death—instinctively dreaded by we who live and breathe—looms before most of us as an enemy, taking us away from our loved ones; it is the one thing which unequivocably runs coun ter to one of man’s most basic instincts—the in stinct of survival. It can come and claim us long before we reach our goal. Silence and iso lation cuts us off from the busy hum of our everyday life, the companions at our side. There fore it is not surprising that the hale and hearty avoid contemplation of man’s natural end, and use all the wonders of medical science to defer the end of his mortal existence. Christian faith does not sidestep the fact of this inevitable ending; Christian faith faces up to it, believing that conquest; of the foe lies in Christ, and in their acceptance of Christ. For Christ, in His crucifixion, triumphed over death, and in His resurreceion proclaimed to all the world His victory. And death is defeated by what Christ does in us. For our fear of death imprisons us in a web of anxiety, even as we live and breathe. If we wholeheartedly accept Christ as our Saviour and the doctrine of Christianity as our belief, that fear is replaced with faith. Christ’s whole doctrine was based on positive assertipns—“l am the Light—l am the Resur rection and the Life—r am the bread of li#fe—l am the good shepherd—l AM THE WAY.” Only a positive reaction to Christ’s teachings can assure us of entry into everlasting life, as distinguished from immortality.
