OUR TOWN AND
SOCIAL SECURITY
By D. W. LAMBERT, Manager
Aaheville, N. C.
Today I shall tell you about So
cial Security for the business wom
an. A woman earning -wages or
salary in covered employment is
insured on the same basis as a man.
About 29 million wage-earning
women have Social Security ac
counts with the United States gov
ernment. More than 78 thousand,
women are now receiving bene- ]
fits on the basis of their own wage j
record. About 60 per cent of all
payments made under Social Se
curity go to women and children.
To qualify for retirement bene
~Tits~a worker must be "fully in
sured." A wage earner is '"fully
insured" at any time when she has
been paid $50,000 or more in a
job in industry or commerce for
40 calendar quarters or in each of
at least half the calendar quarters
since January 1, *1937, or her 21st
birthday anniversary, if that was
later.
What this insurance may mean
to a woman who works for her
living can be seen in a case like
this: Mary Jackson (name fic
ticious) retired from her job in
October, 1940, at age 65. She had
made an average of $60.00 a month
from January 1, 1937, until she re
tired. She now receives a monthly
benefit of about $21.84. These pay
ments will continue as long as she
lives?unless she should go to work
again on a job in industry or com
merce paying more than $14.99 a
month. Her payments will be sus
pended for the months in which
she earns such pay. She can, how
ever,* work on any job not covered
by the Social Security Act and
draw her insurance as well as her
salary.
At Miss Jackson's death?if she
has no relative who might be eligi
ble for benefits?a lump sum upr
to as much as si^c tjjnes her.month
ly benefit will be_ payable to the
person or persons who have paid
funeral costs. " "

WHAT are some of the most ap
petizing aromas in the world? Why
breaa baking in the oven, bacon or
ham frying, coffee brewing.
1 bet if a young man hovering on
the brink of matrimony went to see
bis current girl friend and smelled
those smells and discovered that she
was wielding the utensils and mix
tng the ingredients that produced
them, ne would quickly ask her to

nave the same effect as those deli
cious odors.

Summertime Preserving and Canning
By BETSY NEWMAN
PRESERVING time is nearly
here, or is here, rather, for pine
apples and rhubarb come in May.
The one great trouble with canning,
is that we have vacations in the
summertime, and I usually miss
something that 1 want to "put up,"
but I do a fair amount a little at a
time, as I have time.
Suppose we concentrate on a few
recipes of jam or p-eserves to help
our menus and fcod budgets next
year. I like jam for my breakfast
with my toast. How about you? I do
hope wo can get enough sngar to do
our oanning this year.

"What a thrill to take the wheel of a
) smart new Oldsmobile!" . . . Sung to
the tune of ffIn My Merry Oldsmo
bile," these words form a theme song
for thousands of owners of new Olds
mobile cars. And who wouldn't feel musical in an automobile like
this! ... the tune of power its engine hums . . . the rhythm of its
coil-spring ride . . . the lilting smoothness of its Style-Leader lines!
And the feature that makes this new "Merry Oldsmobile" even
more of a popular hit is G.Vf Hydra-Malic Drive*?the fully
proved, fully automatic drive that shifts gears for you through
all four forward speeds?the only drive that eliminates the clutch
pedal entirely! No wonder so many people are saying, "It's
SMART to go automatic . . . It's SMART to own an Olds!"
