>—ELECTION EXTRA
Higher Earnings Possible
Without Benefit Deductions
By .JACK TATEM
District Manager
For older people and
other beneficiaries who
continue to work, the re
cent changes in social se
curity will enable them to
make more money and still
draw some or all of their
.-ocial security benefits.
The amount of money a
person can earn in a year
and still draw all his so
cial security benefits has
been raised. Beginning
with 1968, a person who
makes as much as $1,680
' can still collect all of his
social security benefits.

Even if he earns consid
erably more than that, he
may still draw some bene
fits. The old law had set
that limit at $1,500, through
1967.
Here’s how it now works:
If you are working regu
larly and do not earn more
than $1,680 a year in
wages, you will receive all
of your social security
benefits each month.
If you are working regu
larly and make more than
$1,680 a year, $1 will be
withheld from your bene
fits for each $2 you make
ever $1,680, and up to
$2,880. If you make more
than $2,880, $1 will be de
ducted from your benefits
for each $1 you make
above that amount
However, regardless of
your total earnings for the
year, you will receive your
social security check for
any month in which you
do not earn more than $l4O
in wages and are not ac
tive in self-employment.
This means that you could
make any amount over
$1,680 a year, and still re
ceive your checks for any
month that you do not
work, but with deductions
against the months you do
work.
Remember, these new
provisions apply to earn
ings in 1968. The old law
applies to earnings and
benefits in 1967.
As in the old law, there
are no deductions taken
from social security bene
fits for any month after
you reach 72, regardless of
how much you earn in the
year.
The provisions of the re
tirement test apply also to
dependents of people who
are receiving disability
benefits, but not to the
disabled worker himself. '
Special rules, including
medical considerations, ap
ply to people who are re
ceiving benefits because of
disability.
About 760,000 people
across the country are ex
pected to receive some $175
million in additional bene
fits during 1968 as a result
of this change.
Veterans Plan
Annual Meeting
The Tar Heel Chapter of
the 30th Division Associa
tion, composed of veterans
of the Old Hickory Divi
sion of North Carolina and
surrounding states, will
hold a reunion at Fontana
Village resort, in the heart
of the Great Smoky Moun
tains of Western North
Carolina, the weekend of
May 24-25, 1968.
Miller Rhyne of Gas
tonia, president of the
chapter, states the meet
ing will be primarily so
cial in nature, limited to
one brief business session,
which will be held in the
Administration Building of
the sprawling vacation re
sort at 2 P. M., Saturday
afternoon. May 25.
Friday, May 24, has been
designated “World War I
Day,” with activities and
individual gatherings of
veterans of the regiments,
battalions, batteries and
companies which made up
the Old Hickory Divi
sion, famous for breaking
through the vaunted Hin
denburg Line. A banquet
will be held Friday even
ing.
On Saturday, in addition
to the chapter meeting,
there will be opportunity
provided for the veterans
and their families to enjoy
the complete recreation fa
cilities offered by the
mountain resort.
J. B. Liles of Raleigh,
secretary - treasurer of the
organization, states that
every veteran of the 30th
Division of both wars is
cordially invited to attend,
whether or not they are
active dues paying mem
bers of the chapter. “At
our last Fontana reunion,”
■Liles stated, “attendance
was 226, with veterans
coming from a nine-state
area. This year we are
hopeful of having 400 on
hand.”
Saturday evening enter
tainment will be a boat
ride and cook-out across
Fontana Lake in a picnic
area in the Great Smoky
Mountains National Park. *
THK CHOWAN HERALD, EDENTON, NORTH CAROLINA, SUNDAY, MAT 5, 1968.
In the
Driver’s Seat*
The “head of the house”
didn’t take the 6:06 to the
office today. Instead, he
drove the family car to a
nearby business meeting.
Where did this leave the
“lady of the house” who
has shopping, a dentist’s
appointment for the child
ren, a date with the “girls”
for bridge, and no other
transportation available at
home?
The solution could be a
second car, but two-car
situations don’t always
arise often enough to jus
tify this strain on the
budget
More and more suburban
families, according to Hertz
Rent-A-Car, are finding
the solution in renting
cars.
Families are learning that
the rental car provides not
just transportation, but a
variety and flexibility of
transportation that would
be impossible to achieve
without owning not just a
second or third car, but a
fleet.
Rental, Hertz explains,
makes possible a “wardrobe
of cars,” with a vehicle
suited to each occasion.
The wardrobe concept
means that a station wagon
is available for an outing
of the cub scout pack, for
that trip to the plant nurs
ery, for moves to the sum
mer home and as a light
“truck” for the do-it-your
self handyman.
A rental car “wardrobe”
also provides a convertible
or sports car for country
club dates or sporting
events. For that special
night in town a luxury car
is also available. Hertz
suggests.
All in all, the rental car
has become an integral
part of suburban living.
Thanks to handy, conveni
ent locations, Hertz reports,
more and more suburban
ites today are rolling on
rented wheels.
