Gaa'toata Social Security Office At the end of February 1953 .jver 5,200,000 persons were draw ing Federal old age and survivors insurance benefits. Miss Marga ret H. Lo'wder of the Gastonia social security field office said today. "Eighty-two percent of all jobs are now covered by this pro gram, and over 66^ million per sons have been working long enough in covered employment or self - employment to be insur ed," Mist Powder declared.

Also, many of these workers who are nearing retirement age, will be able to quit work and still have a check coming in each month. Miss Lowder said that monthly benefit amounts were increased by the Social Security Act amend ments of 1950 and again ir. 1952, so that, as of January 1953, the average amount of monthly bene fits to a retired wage earner with out dependents is now about $47.25 per month. For a retired worker with benefits based on earnings since 1950, the. average monthly benefit Is about $65. She pointed out that the econo mic security of the community Is strengthened by tht^o social se curity payments beqpuse they supplant, In part, the loss of fami ly income due to retirement or death of the wage earner. "When you consider the population of your individual neighborhood and realize that about four out of five people are either protected by this insurance or are drawing benefits under this program, it is easy to see the direct effect it has *>n the community," Miss Lowder declared. The Social Security Adminis tration field office, a part of the new U. S. Department of Health, Education, and Welfare, is locat ed at 212 West Second Avenue in Gastonia. Miss Lowder urges any one desiring further information about this law, or wanting to file a claim, to make inquiry there.
