Philip Malone, Junior vice commander of the North Carolina Department, Veterans of World War I of the N. S. A., Inc., will be the principal speaker at a rally of all World War I veterans in Cleveland County, Sunday afternoon, January 20, at 2:30 o’clock in the Cleveland County Courthouse in Shelby. Malone heads the 1957 member ship campaign in North Carolina for the WWI veterans. The ex pansio nof the organization since the first Barracks was instituted in Charlotte last January has been highly gratifying accord ing to state officers. Today there are 44 units and all indications point to at least 100 Barracks'be fore the annual state convention in August. Headquarters of the state unit is located at Salisbury. Headquarters of the national organization is located in Wash ington, D. C., and by convention mandate they are pressing in the Congress for a more liberal hos pital an dmedical care program for its veterans who are now averaging 62 years of age. They are also seeking a pension for themselves and their widows, based upon the same principle an damounts as that now being accorded the Spanish - American War veterans. Malone, pointed out that count less thousands of World War I veterans are now dependent upon relatives for sustenance, many others are finding it difficult to compete in the present day labor market. The time has come when something should be done for the “Forgotten generation of aging veterans” he added. * Every World War I veteran in Cleveland and surrounding coun ties is urged to be on hand for the Sunday afternoon meeting in Shelby . Approximately 66 per cent of North Carolina’s farm income is derived from five basic crops. and SOCIAL SECURITY BY JOSEPH P. WALSH (Manager of the Gastonia Social Security Office) When farm employees were first brought under social secur ity in 1950, coverage under the old-age and survivors insurance program was restricted to those workers who met a rather strict and complicated regularity-of work test. The 1954 amendments changed the above test. The regularity-of work restriction was removed and replaced by a cash wages test. Through 1956, if a farm employee is paid as muqh as $100 cash wages by any one farm employer in a year, his earnings are credit able for social security purposes and should be reported by the employer to his social security account. This year a further change has been made in the coverage test for farm employees. Under an amendment which will become effective beginning with 1957, farm work will count toward so cial security benefits if the work er meets either of two conditions. (1) If the farm employer pa^g his $150 or more in cash during the year; (2) if he does farm work for an employer on 20 or more days during a year for cash pay figured on a time basis (that is, on some unit of time such as an hour, day, or week), rather than on a piece-rate basis. For the $150-a-year test, both piece-rate pay and pay based on a unit of time count and the total number of days worked does not matter; for the 20day test, the total amount of cash pay is not a consideration so long as farm Scouting Awards Presented Here Thirty-nine Scouting rank ad vancement badges and merit bad ges were awarded to local Scouts at the monthly Court of Honor held at City Hall Thursday night.

If you are a farmer, or if you gain a livelihood in any kind of agricultural or horticultural work either in employment or self-em ployment, the social security law as newly amended is important to you and your family. It is well to realize that this program of social insurance is now three fold—it provides old-age benefits for men at age 65 and for women at 62; it provides survivor protec tion for young wives and minor children and to aged parents and dependent husbands; it provides benefits to the insured disabled worker after he reaches age 50. These and other changes in the law which affect the working population and the nation’s fami lies in general are described in special leaflets available free of charge at district office’s of the Social Security Administration. As a farmer, they will be of in terest and importance to you. Why not pick up yours at the Gas tonia Social Security office locat ed at 212 W.
