Most of us feel secure when we have a Will drawn up to provide for our families in the event of our death. Why not then be prepared for retirement under Social Security. Usually, you need three basic types of evidence in your claim for Social Security benefits first, evidence of age for yourself, your wife, and your children; secondly, evidence of marriage; thirdly, evidence of your earnings tor lasx year. Evidence of age isusually the most difficult to secure. If you have an original birth cer tificate issued at the time you were born, or you. have a church record; i.e., a baptismal record issued before you were five years old, then you have suf ficient evidence of your age for Social Security purposes. If you do not have either of the above records, then call your nearest Social Security Office about six months before you retire and discuss with your claims representative what evidence is needed and how to get the necessary proofs. This pre-counseling retirement information will help you" prepare for-fiHng a claim for Social .Security benefits and will insure that your claim is processed quickly. The telephone number for your Social Security office is 338 3931. ' '. Homecoming Homecoming Services will be held at Anderson Methodist Church Sunday, August 13. The Rev.
