Representative of GE fflm to Rotary Clubl Social Security Changes Affect Farm Workers The receat change in (he social I security law will kHtft over 2 million more hired agricultural N. A. Avera, district manager of the Wilmington office, explain ed that under the old law they had to work for one farm employer on a full time basis for several months before their work for that employer started to count towards old-age and survivors insurance. This *ork regularity teat for them has been changed so that many more farm employees were brought under social security for the first thr.e beginning Jan. 1, 1855. The farm worker will be earn ing old-age and survivors insur ance credits when he earns as much as $100 in cash wages from any one farm operator in a year. One hundred doflara in the course of a year from any one farm em ployer is the minimum wage upon which the farm employee may be gin to build his social security. The farm employer will deduct a .two per cent social security tax from the cash wages he has paid the employee and he will contri bute an equal amount. He will report the amount of cash wages that he has paid to each employee and send the total tax to the District Director of Internal Rev enue. Taxes for social security will be deducted from a farm worker's cash wages up to $4200 in a year. Payments to a farm employee in any form other than caah do not count for social security purposes and farm employers will not in clude them in their reports. The new law also includes workers in eotton ginning for the first time after 1954. These workers will begin to earn credits in exactly the same way as other agricultural workers when they receive <100 or more in cash wages from the same employer in a year. If your cash pay from farm work for one employer is less than $100 in a year, he does not report your earnings and there is no so cial security tax. For example: If you earn $79 in a year from one employer and another $75 from |-a second erajtoyer, these wages would not coMt toward social security, says Mr. Avera. But if you earn $100 from one and $150 from the other, both em ployers will report your earnings for social security and you will get credit for the total. Whenever your pay from any farm employer is less than $100 In a year, he should return to you any amount he took out of your pay for social security for that year. Jan. IB?

Tobacco Farmers Pay WM In Penalties Tar Keel tobacco farmers have shelled out over $1, 872,000 in penalties far failure to comply with ASC's Productlo* Adjustment Pro iraa. H. D. Godfrey of tha state ASC office, in reporting these penally rol lections on the 1894 tobacco crop, explained that the rate of penalty for this year was 21 cents per pound for fluecwcd and 26 cents per pound for bur ley. This represents a penalty on flue-cured tobacco of 40 per cent of last year's iverage market price. On burley :he penalty was SO per cent of last (?ear's average price. When congress amended the lar vith respect to the rate of penalty t was too late to put the increaaed -ate into effect on due-cured The penalty rate for flue-cured will be ncreased for 1955. Mr. Godfrey reported that this penalty money collected totaled ?early three times the amount re luired for administering the pro ;ram in the state. These penalty :ollections are deposited to the general fund of the federal treas ury and used to supplement tax collections. This year, 122,418 North Caro lina farmers harvested 674,236 icres of flue-cured tobacco. Of this amount 9,829 acres were in excess af allotment. On burley, 18,185 farmers harvested 11,422 acres. The number of acres planted in ex cess of allotment for burley was 132. This gives a total of 10,261 teres of both types of tobacco planted in this state either without an allotment or in excess of allot ment. At the same time, Mr. Godfrey reports, there were 5,683 tobacco farmers who did not plant any to bacco and they had 6,640 acres of allotment. Mr. Godfrey says that the pro gram just about evens itself out with just as many farmers under planting as there, are overplanting. At the same time he reminds of the nearly two million dollars added to :he federal treasury. Geophysicist's Wife Doesn't Like Travel Pittsburgh CAP) ? "Most people ilan to travel when they retire jut we want to settle down." Mrs. 3aul Clement said the other day. She has good reason.

Physical therapy means quicker strengthening of polio-weakened muscles among young patients at the Central Carolina Convalescent Hospital in Greensboro. Little Donna Robin Work, daugh ter of Mr. and Mrs. Donald R. Work of Gastonia, gets her regular treatment from therapist Michael Myers. This and other types of treatment which speed up the re covery of stricken youngsters re quires much time and expense, which can be covered by contribu tions to the current N. C. March of Dimes. Animals Get Tooth Trouble Livestock, too, can have a tooth ache once in awhile, the American Foundation (or Animal Health has warned farmers. "Like human beings, animalB need their teeth examined oc casionally if the rest of their bodily functions are to perform efficient-, ly," a foundation spokesman says. "Quantity and quality of rations are important, but it is equally vi tal for the animal to chew and shred this food so it can be digest ed properly." Dental troubles in meat-produc ing animals are of three principal types. They include difficulties associated with erupting or shed ing of teeth; injuries sustained from biting > on hard objects; and anatomical irregularities such as misshaped jaws, unoppoaed tMttl. and more teeth than noraaal. . Symptoms of dental difficulties include frequent drooling; slow, de liberate chewing, indicating pain; and sudden drawing back from cold water while drinking. "It should take a veterinarian only a short time to examine the teeth of animals being placed in winter quarters," foundation au thorities say. "Such a check-up can mean better eating, better diges tion, and better health for the ani mals all through the winter." So, even though old "Dobbin" may not need to visit his dentist twice a year, it's a good idea to give his teeth the once over now and then. KenX]ujcku< SVvaight 'BoWthm $070 mm Mm M30 ?f?/? ??.
