From The Broadcaster
Chief: The Builder Of Dreams
In years past, groups of children have approach
ed the door of the band room to join the band,
frightened about what lay ahead.' But when the
door was opened, a friend was found. Chief, the
friend who led you far, opened new doors, created
hopes and dreams that were never to be forgotten.
Discouragement came and went, and there were
times you knew you wouldn’t make it. But there
was never any doubt in Chief’s mind that you
wouldn’t pull through. He made sure you had the
intestinal fortitude” you would need. You grew
stronger in character with a great respect for him,
yourself, and fellow band members growing around
a lot of hard work.
Pride grew when you finally saw the results
that came from all the hours of practice, sweat, and
tears. You really felt it when your fellow students
cheered because you came out on top. You learned
to try a little harder and not settle for second best.
Hope was there when you realized that your
ears had dried and that your “little hot hand” wasn’t
hot anymore. Chief taught you to believe in your
self, your hopes, and to have faith in God and your
country.
Reality came when you learned you could stand
on your own two teet. For it wasn’t just your music
Chief taught you to play; he taught you how to
play your life: to dream, to reach a little higher
zuid to push a little harder.
So with his retirement, Chief isn’t leaving
alone, there goes with him the great love and respect
'from hi&Aludeni# that will tmt.be surpassed.

SOCIAL SECURITY
Questions And
Answers
By
NORRIS G. GRUBBS
Field Representative
Q. I am nearly 65. The com
pany for which I have worked
as a secretary for over 40 years
has a oompul ory retirement
at 65. Will my monthly social
security retirement benefits
start automatically when the
company retires me? \
A. No. Yon mwst apply
f«r vn»r social security bene
fit*. Get in touch with any
social security office about
three months before yon re
tire.
Q. My married sister and I
hire the same woman to help
us with the cleaning in our
separate homes. During a
typical calendar quarter, I
pay her $40 in cash wages and
my sister also pays her $40.
We’d like to help her get so
cial security protection. Can
we combine these wages and
pay social security contribu
tions for her?
A. No. The social security
law requires EACH employ
er to pay a household work
er at least $50 in cash wages

before the worker can get no
dal security credit for his
earnings. The cash wages of
two or more employers can
not be added together to
reach the $50 figure.
Q. I have been getting
monthly social security dis
ability benefits for a little ov
er a vear. Next year I will be
65. Will my disability benefits
increase then?
A. No. When you reach 65,
your disability benefits are
changed over to retirement
benefits. But the amount you
receive each month will re
main the same.
Q. I plan to retire next year
at 65. The only proof of age I
have is a baptismal certificate
in Norwiegan. Can I use it as
proof of age when I apply for
social security retirement bene
fits?
A. Yes. Translators at the
Social Security office will
translate the certificate, make
a certified copy of it, and
then return the original cer
tificate to you.
Q. I am 65 and drawing so
cial security benefits. Some
one told me that my employer
no longer had to take social
security tax out of my earn
ings. Is this true?
A. No. Neither your age
nor the fact that you draw
social security benefits has
anything to do with the tax
ing of wages. Your employer
must report your earnings
and FICA tax must be paid
on your earnings regardless
of your age or status with
social security.
Keep aspirins and sleeping
pills well out of the reach of
children, say Libert Mutual In
surance Companies. Young
sters are attracted to anything
that looks like candy and as
pirins, especially, have become
a leading poisoner of children
in recent years.
