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.

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.
