Old Homeplace Gutterd By Fire Last Thursday The old Moseley homeplace, owned by Harold Stegall, on the Wise-Oakville Road, burned to the ground last Thursday morning as the result of re ignition of a fire which firemen had extinguish ed some 10 hours earlier. The first call to the two-story frame house came at 5:15 p. m., at which time firemen removed the furniture and were able to confine the fire to the back part of the house, according to fire records. A second call came at 4 a. m., when the fire re lgnited and the house burned to the ground. The cause of the fire could not be deter mined, but Walter Gard ner, captain with the Warrenton Rural Fire Department, said arson was a possibility. Nine firemen from the Warrenton, Hawtree, Norlina and Churchill Five Forks rural de partments responded to the calls. Burning trash was listed as the cause of two fires extinguished recently by the Warren ton Rural Fire Depart ment, according to Gardner. On Monday, four firemen brought a grass fire under control at the home of W. E. Exum on Warren Street in Warrenton. A similar situation was encountered on Friday morning when nine Warrenton rural firefighters answered a call to WARR Radio Station and put out a grass fire. rirc wmui siaiieu in a chimney threatened the home of James Davis in the Mar maduke community on Sunday morning.

Payments Not To Replace All Earnings Thit column if provided at a public tervlce from the Hen derton Social Security Office Social Security is the Nation's basic method of providing a continuing income to you and your family when your earnings stop or are reduced because of your retirement, disability or death. Social Security payments are not intended to replace all loss earnings. People should try to sup plement Social Security payments with savings, pensions, investments, or other insurance. Nine out of 10 workers in the United States are earning protection under Social Security. In Warren County as of June 1,1964 there are 3,120 workers and dependents receiving Social Security benefits totaling $963,000 per month. As of October 1, 1964 there are 878 individuals in Warren County receiving Supplemental Security Income benefits totaling $160,000 per month. About one out of every six persons in the country receives monthly Social Security checks. Over 24 million people 65 and over, nearly all of the Nation's older population, have health insurance under Medicare. Another 3 million disabled people under 65 also have Medicare. The basic idea of Social Security is simple: During working years, employees, their employers, and self-employed people pay Social Security taxes. This money is used only to pay benefits to the over 36 million people getting benefits and to pay administrative costs of the program. If you're employed, your Social Security tax is deducted from your wages each payday. Your em ployer matches your payment and sends the com bined amount to the Internal Revenue Service. The tax rate for 1985 for employed individuals is 7.15 percent. If you're self-employed and your net earnings are $400 or more in a year, you must report your earn ings and pay your self-employment tax each year when you file your income tax return. This is true even if you owe no income tax. The tax rate for a self employed individual in 1985 is 14.10 percent. Your wages and self-employment income are en tered on your Social Security record throughout your working years. This record of your earnings will be used to determine your eligibility for benefits and the amount of cash benefits you and your dependents will receive. When today's worker's earnings stop or are reduced because of retirement, death, or disability, benefits will be paid to them from taxes paid by people in covered work and self employment at that time. Part of the taxes goes for hospital insurance un der Medicare so workers and their dependents will have help in paying their hospital bills when they become eligible for Medicare. The medical insurance part of Medicare is fi nanced by premiums paid by the people who have enrolled for this protection and amounts from the federal government. Hie government's share of the cost for the medical insurance part of Medicare and certain other Social Security costs comes from general revenues of the U. S. Treasury, not from Social Security taxes. Funds not required for current benefit payments and expenses are invested in interest-bearing U. S. government securities. Monthly Social Security checks may go to workers and their dependents when the worker retires, becomes severely disabled, or dies. Monthly Social Security benefits include retire ment, disability, dependents and survivors. QLEND4?
