That's the advice given by Miss Martha Pressley, social security district manager in Greenwood, to persons who plan to retire soon. "We always try to make sure that a person's first retirement check arrives promptly," Miss Pressley said, "but it really helps if we can talk with him before he actually retires.

If he files his claim in October, there will be nlentv of time tn process the application so that the postman can drop Mr. Smith's January check in his box on February 3." Miss Pressley added that some evidence of the previous year's earnings is generally needed. A wage earner can use his Form W-2, Withholding Tax Statement; while a selfemployed person can supply a copy of his income tax return for the previous year.
