Social Security Changes in the social security law in 1960 reduced the amount of work needed to get benefits. For benefits to be paid to a worker or his family when he reaches retirement age, dies, or becomes disabled, he must have worked under social security for a certain length of time. Jusi how long a person must work depends upon his date of birth, or when the payments of survivors or disability benefits is involved, upon the date he dies, or becomes disabled. Under the new law many people can become insured for the payment of retirement or survivors benefits more quickly. Also, many older people who did not work for the length of time required under the old law will now be eligible for payments. Anyone who was told in the nast that he did not have enough work under social security to qualify should get in touch with the social security office now to see if he is eligible under this change in the law. As an example, anyone who reaches retirement age (65 for men and 62 for women) this year will need to have no more than years of work. Until the change in the law. a person of this age would have needed at least 5 years. Also, the survivors of workers who died after June 1954, and who were not eligible for benefits previously, may now qualify in many cases. Anyone who believes that he or she may qualify for pavments as a result of this change in the law should get f3 ' the children of Mrs. Mary Miles, thday April 29th and Tonita will ol MARCH. 1961 in touch with the local social security office promptly. Free informational leaflets covering the changes in the law are available upon request. YOUR ALARM What would you think of a man who sat up on the edge of his bed every morning and said to his alarm clock, "Thanks, pal?" "A screwball," you say? Or, as the youngsters sometimes put it, "A square?" Well, there's a machinist in a central Indiana town who does just that! And maybe it isn't such a screwball idea after all, because, seriously, your attitude toward your job begins with vour attitude toward the alarm clock next to your bed. An alarm clock has only one purpose in life, to awaken people from their sleep and get them going on a time schedule to meet their duties and responsibilities Likely as not, you set your alarm because you intend to get up and get to work on time. Your intentions are good. Some time ago, perhaps, you purchased an alarm clock so you would be sure not to oversleep. You see, your intentions have been good for a long time. When your alarm rings, it's doing you a favor; it's doing exactly what you asked it to do. So. what is your attitude toward your alarm clock? Is it gratitude? Are you grateful that it does its job and does it well? Do you say "Thank you." not necessarily like the central Indiana machinist savs "Thank vou." but in your own way? Or, do you shut the thing off and wish you never had brought it into the house? How do you feel about it? Do you hate it? Getting out of bed with a genuine good feeling toward going to work has a lot to do with the kind of work you turn out after you get to the job. And that feel in e should start when your alarm rings. If your clock stops or the alarm fails to ring, you're pretty well disgusted with it. aren't you? Then, why not give it a "pat-on-the-back" when it works properly? Actually, your alarm clock is one of vour best friends, so it isn't such a screwball idea once in a w bile to say. "Thanks, pal."
