Start bringing in house plants.
If needed, pot them in fresh,
rich soil. Wash clay or plastic
pots to remove dry soil and
green algae. Soak new clay pots
in water for several hours, then
drain off before using. Usually,
it is best to select a pot a size
larger than the last one used.
Do not use pots too large or
too small. One is just as bad as
the other. *
If you do not have fertile
garden loam on hand for re

packages of potting soil in

As you bring your plants in

... about your
Social Security
By D. c. NICHOLS
Field Representative
Q. We appreciate your ans
wers giving the Who’s, What’s,
When’s, Where’s, and How’s . . .
and also the Why’s and Where
fore’s of Social Security. And
we appreciate all the practical
hints and tips that can keep
people from losing benefits
they’re entitled to. Thank you!
A. We appreciate your ap
preciation.
In view of the many pro
visions and the technical com
plexity of this great program,
the effort to keep our answers
as simple, non-technical, clear
and to the point as possible
isn’t always so easy as we
wish it were.
Surely no social security in
formation could be more im
portant than the practical
“hints” and “tips” that you
refer to. For people do risk
losing much needed benefits
by not contacting us at the
proper time, promptly and
without delay. Naturally,
though, they need to know
when or under what circum
stances to contact our office
by telephone, letter, or in
person.
We urge everybody to re
member this rule: Always get
in touch with us when a
“family crisis” occurs — e.g.,
a worker retires, or becomes
disabled, or dies.
Another good rule for work
ing people to remember—In
quire before you retire.
Under present law an em
ploye or self - employed per
son is “fully retired” if he
doesn’t earn more than $1500
in a year; and, if otherwise
entitled, he . could receive all
his social security checks for
that year. He might work full
time until his earnings reach
$1500 and then works no more
during the year, or he might
work part time all year long
keeping his earnings from go
ing over $1500. In either case
he could get all of his bene
fit checks.
tie may earn over
and even up to $3000 or more,
and still get part of his bene
fits for the year.
But regardless of his total
yearly earnings, benefits are
payable for any month or
months in which he neither
earns wages of over $125 nor
is substantially active in self
employment.
For example — a man of
retirement age who is still
engaged in full time employ
ment or self-employment, but
whose earnings have dropped
or are reduced for any rea
son, may be eligible for some
or all of his benefits.
For another example — an
individual who has high an
nual earnings may still be
entitled to benefits for cer
tain months because he
doesn’t earn high wages or
isn’t active in his trade, busi
ness, or profession during
those months. However, he
will have to file an applica
tion — perhaps at the end of
the year — before any bene
fits can be paid.
And finally, in any event,
when anyone is approaching
age 65 he or she should file
application for Medicare.
Thousands of people filing for
this coverage have found they
were also entitled to some
pest
CONTROL?
TERMINIX
cash benefits that otherwise
they would not have received.
But having the Medicare pro
tection itself can, of course,
mean substantial money sav
ings when one is hospitalized
has high medical bills.
So here’s a tip — if you’re
nearing 65 don’t wait too long
to file for Medicare. Unless
you file in the 3 months be
fore you become 65 your
Medicare coverage will be de
layed, at the very least
Another tip — while Medi
care can pay most of your
doctor bills, you must file a
claim for payment before you
can get any money. Our of
fice will be glad to help you
if you need help in filing a
claim.
Murray’s Art Exhibit
Reflects His Beliefs
Tim Murray, Head of the
Brevard College Art Depart
ment has an exhibit of 18 paint
ings currently hanging in the
lobby of Dunham Hall. These
paintings were done in Polymer
and oil during the summer.
Perhaps the most outstand
ing painting in the exhibit is
one Mr. Murray has entitled
“Flag Symbol.” It is a black
painting, with what some might
call a simple composition, or
pernaps one that anyone could
think of .But this is not the
case. Mr. Murray does not im
pose his ideas, but his person
al belief is that art is not a
haphazard arrangement of
shapes, colors or lines. Al
though a majority of people
think in these terms, they are
making a grave mistake. Art
has never been and will never
be haphazard. It is a serious
thing and should never be tak
en lightly by the painter. Mr.
Murray firmly believes that for
everything an artist puts into
a work, there is a reason for it.
There is no room in painting
for jokes concerning an artist
who slings paint buckets at a
canvas.
This brings into focus anoth
er of Mr. Murrays convictions
on painting. His paintings hap
pen on the canvas as they are
being painted. In creating a
painting, the artist is going
through a tremendous emotional
experience. He feels every
brus stroke he puts down and
is responsible for every thing
that happens on his canvas.
This is vital to the artist be
cause in this way he communi
cates with the public.
When asked about describing
some of his work, Mr. Murray
replied that he did think it nec
essary to explain his thoughts.
