which regulated the flow
of cotton goods, cotton fabrics
and garments among
the nations of the world.
Technology went beyond
that and created the many
synthetic fibers and there
is no international agreement.
All the major nations
of the world therefore have

Q. I have never worked
under social security. Can I
qualify for any benefits
based on my husband's
work?
A. If your husband is getting
retirement or disability
benefits, you will be eligible
for wife's benefits, if you
are 62 or older. If you are
under 62 you can also collect
benefits if you have in
your care a child under 18,
or one disabled before 18,
who is entitled to child's
benefits based on your husband's
social security record.

THE CLOTHMAKER
Since the South Carolina
Department of Labor began
its Safety Incentive Award
Program several years ago,
textile and apparel plants
in the state qualified for
the honor 1,161 times
through June 30, 1968.
Knitting mills in South
Carolina employ an average
of 164 persons per plant,
figures of the S. C. Labor
Department show.

South Carolina textile
plants used nearly 2.6 mil1

the fiscal year 1967-68, ac!
