'Star Of Bethlehem'
Begins This Month
security from 1937. when payroll
taxes began, is $8. 728.35. An equal
amount would have been paid by
his employers. From 1937 through
1949. the most a wage earner could
have paid in taxes was $30 a year,
or a total of $390 for all those years.
Now let's look at benefits. Let's
assume that you have paid in
$8,728.35 since 1937 and you retire
this January at age 65. Your
monthly benefit will be $459.80. At
that rate you will recover what you
have paid in 19 months. If you have
a wife of the same age. your
combined check will be $689.70, so
that it would only take 13 months
to get back all you paid in.
What if you had taken this
money you paid to social security
and invested it? If one assumes a
rate of return based on compound
interest payable at prevailing
savings bank rates in the years
since 1937, a worker retiring at 65
say in 1983 would get back in
monthly benefits his and his em
ployers' social security taxes, plus
interest, in about six years.
Also bear in mind that since 1966
your social security taxes have also
paid for Medicare hospital insur
ance. This protection is valued now
at about S55 a month and will
climb to about $105 a month by
1983. Also during your working
years, your social security taxes are
protecting your family right now
against the risk of your death or
disability since monthly cash bene
fits are paid to the families of
workers who die or are severely
disabled during working years.

A relative humidity of 50%
has a lethal effect on nearly
all infective bacteria and
viruses. It causes germs
emitted by sneezing or
coughing to quickly settle
to the floor and die. If the
air is unusually dry. mucus
and saliva particles dry up
and may float as infectious
agents for several weeks.
Proper humidity during
winter heating is essential
to ward off colds and respi
ratory infections.

If you're not already under a corporate or
self-employed pension fund you can put up to 15
percent or a maximum of $1500 a year in Raeford
Savings & Loan's qualified IRA Plan. This would
allow you to defer (taxes) until retirement, which
is a real advantage, since most retired people are
under a much lower tax rate.
Remember the sooner you open your individual
Retirement Savings Account, the earlier your
savings and the interest you earn become tax
exempt. See us soon for full details.
