HIGHER EARNINGS POSSIBLE
WITHOUT BENEFIT DEDUCTIONS
By W. L. O'Brien
For older people and other
beneficiaries who continue to
work, the recent changes in so
cial security will enable them to
make more money and still
draw some or all of their social
security benefits.
The amount of money a per
son can earn in a year and still
draw all his social security bene
fits has been raised. Beginning
with 1968, a person who makes
as much as $1,680 can still col
lect all of his social security
benefits. Even if he earns con
siderably more than that, he
may still draw some benefits.
The old law had set that limit
at $1,500, through 1967.
Here's how it now works. If
you are working regularly and
do not earn more than $1,680 a
year in wages, you will receive
all of vour social security bene
fit* each month.
If you are working regularly
and make more than $1,680 a
year, SI will be withheld from
your benefits for each $2 you
make over $1,680, and up to
$7. PRO If you make more than
$2 RRO $1 will be deducted from
your benefits for each $1 you
make above that amount.
However, regardless of your
total earnings for the year, you
will receive your social security
check for any month in which
yon Ho not earn more than $140
In waees and are not active in
self - employment. This means
that you could make any amount
over $1,680 a year, and still re
ceive your checks for any month
that you do not work, but with
deductions against the months
yon do work.
Remember, these new provi
sions aoplv to earnings In 1968.
The old law applied to- earnings
and benefits in 1967.
As in the old law, there are no
deductions taken from your so
cial security benefits for any
month after you reach 72, re
gardless of how much you earn
in the year.
The provisions of the retire
ment test apply also to depend
ents of people who are receiving
disability benefits, but not to the
disabled worker hirr.self. Special
rules, including medical consid
erations, apply to people who
are receiving benefits because of
disability.
About 760,000 people across
the country are expected to re
ceive some $175 million in addi
tional benefits during 1968, as a
result of this change.

iptrifs Pan Midwestern
Tour With Rousing Win
Over Akron
Akron, Ohio ? A&T capped
a tough Midwestern basketball
tour with an impressive 89-73
victory over Akron University
here last Saturday night.
Two nights earlier the Aggies
dropped a 105-80 decision to
nationally - ranked Kentucky
Wesleyan. The win over the
Zips upped A&T's record to 16-4
overall.
It was a tremendous 33-point
effort by Aggie sharpshooter
Jimmy Staggs that led to Ak
ron's downfall. The 6-5 forward
from Philadelphia who earned
honorable mention All-CIAA for
his play this season, pumped in
points from all parts of the
I court.
Staggs' total was the highest
scored by an A&T player this
season. He hit on 15 of 23 shots
from the floor and all three of
his free throws.
Another A&T ace, Teddy
Campbell, also from Philadel
phia, pulled down 28 of the Ag
gies' 60 rebounds. This may well
be another A&T record.
Ahead 41-36 at halftime, A&T
began eluding Akron right after
intermission when Staggs quick
ly reeled off three straight Jump
shots. That put the game out of
sight for the Zippers, who had
beaten the Aggies on three pre
vious meetings.
Other Aggies scoring in double
figures were Carl Hubbard and
Vern Walker with 12 points each
and Sonpy Adams with 11
points.
j It was a different story
, against Kentucky Wesleyan. If
the Aggies had any Intention of
j upsetting the hot shooting Pan
thers. that notion was dispelled
after the first few minutes of
the game.
Kentucky WesleSyan connected
on eight shots In a row, then 14
of the first 16 tries in racing to
a 53-36 halftime lead. The Pan
