PAGE SIX I— A KnOW Your Social Security Os special interest to military men and women and their dependents is a provision in the new so cial security law which piomises greater protec tion for them and their lamilies. Under the old law only a person’s military base pay was counted toward social security benefits. Starting with January, 1968, an additional SIOO will be counted for each month in which the person in the military service is leceiving active duty pay. Since social security benefits are based on av erage earnings over a working career, you and your family may be able to receive higher benefits later because of the addi tional credits. The Congress recognized lhat under the old law, the social security protection of a worker might; be im paired during a .period when he is in military ser vice, because of the rela tively low earnings cover ed under social security. This new provision seeks to take into account the value of payment in kind— such fringe benefits as food, housing and clothing and medical services which are in effect part of the serviceman’s earnings. These earnings credits will automatically be cred ited to your social security account, and you do not have to make any kind of application to receive them. They will not mean addi tional social security con tributions from your pay check, but will be attri buted to the general funds of the Treasury. What is poetry?

C. §P± BROAD STREET BULLETIN m Kate Happiness means so many things, Os Life and Love and Early Spring Happiness is being a Mother, too, With vast rewards the whole year thru. Sometimes we Mothers really don’t appreciate our selves until Mother’s Day comes along. If we’ve been good Mothers, we go along doing all we can for our families without counting whether there’s a very special award like Moth er’s Day. But then, on the ether hand, even the best Mothers make mistakes, many of them, and I sup pose that’s the reason we Mothers try so hard to keep our children from making the same errors. Sometimes it’s pretty hard being a Mother, too, be cause of the lack of com munication between all members of her family. But if Mother stays strong in character and keeps faith, the rest of the fam ily is bound to follow through. Somehow, it makes me feel quite sad at the death of Mrs. “Governor” Wallace of Alabama. From all re ports, she has put up such a gallant fight against can cer, putting on a brave front with cheerfulness and smiles, when I’m sure she must have often been in great pain. I often won dered why younger people must die, but then I read somewhere that perhaps it’s because God doesn’t want all old people in Heaven. He needs children and young people, too. Last week someone brought me a large bou quet of lily of the valley, one of my very favorite flowers. One reason, I suppose, is because they remind me of home. I kept them as long as possible, but as it is with all flow ers, they fade and even then I hate to throw them away. Then this week another very thoughtful and kind friend brought me IB CHOWAN BttALD, RDRNTON, NORTH CAROLINA. THURSDAY, MAY », IMS. a hasket of fresh straw berries from her garden, along with two beautiful yellow rosebuds. I can’t say which I enjoyed the most, as I just love straw berries and the roses are a delight to see. Thank God, I can enjoy all these nice gifts. We are very sorry to hear of our friend, Frank Muth, being ill and under going surgery in the Char lotte Memorial Hospital. He was taken ill while visiting his daughter in 1 Charlotte. Frank is such a happy, cheerful person, with many friends, who, I’m sure, will remember I him in their prayers.
