Jr., manager
an insured
ilireli under
amount of
mi's primary*
lienefit and each of these minor
children receives one-half of his
primary benefit (within certain
limitations).
In tile Gastonia service are a
which includes the counties of
Gaston, Cleveland and Lincoln,
there .are six aged parents of de
ceased workers now receiving an
aggregate of $65.02 per month in
the form of old-age and surviv
ors insurance payments.
Mr. Boger said that the war
program is calling for workers of
all ages, and many people who
were drawing monthly benefits
under this Government insurance
system have gone to work or
may soon go to work on jobs that
are covered by the Social Secur
ity Act. There is no reason why
they should not do this, he stat
ed. hut when they do, they should
notify the Social Security Board.
He explained that for any month
in which a worker earns as much
as $15 (that is, over $14.99) on
any job covered by the Social Se
curity Act, the law requires that
the monthly retirement benefits
he receives under the act shall
be suspendd. Paymnts to his
wife and chillren must also be
suspended during those months.
Jobs covered by the act in
clude, in general, work in factor
ies, mines, mills, shops, std(res,
offices, hotels, restaurants, laun
dries, telephone, telegraph, and
radio services, construction work,
trucking-, or almost any other bus
iness or industry carried on by a
private individual, firm, contrac
tor, or corporation. The benefi
ciary may work on any job not
covered by the act, however, and
he may work for himself, or run a
business of his own, and contin
ue to receive his benefits, no mat
ter how much he earns. If his
retirement benefits ar suspended
because he has gone back to
work, they will begin again when
he stops work and notifies the So
cial Security Board.
Benefits of widows, children,
and parents of deceased injured
workers are also suspended if
these beneficiaries go to wonk
and earn as much as $15 pet
month on a job that, is covered by
ty and ne .
Anyone living in Gaston Ceun
ty and who is in doubt as to
whether or not his job is cover
ed by the Act should consult the
Gastonia Office of the Social Se
curity Board located at 204 Na
tional Bank of Commerce, Gas
tonia, N. C. If you live near
Cherryville you can make an ap
pointment to see a representati\jT^\
of the board there on the 1st. o«4^
3rd. Tuesdays of each month.

In -the Army
It CONSISTS of two simple words.
Yet every soldier who’s worth his salt covets it.
This title is simply:
“Good Soldier.”
It isn’t just happenstance that so many women
in the WAC have earned this title—the proude.-.i
in the Army.
For wherever Wacs are working, both here ai.d
overseas, there you find a job well done. And done
with a spirit so gallant and fine that high Army
officers everywhere say of the WAC ...
“They’re soldiers. Good soldiers!”
"Good Soldier "
