Monthly payments of $20,577 to
widowed mothers and minor chil-
dm acounted for 33 1-3 per cent
of the total monthly old ageland
survivors insurance benefits of
$67,709 in Laurens ebunty as of
December, 1955, according ,, to
Miss Martha Pressley,.Social Se
curity Administration ~ district
manager in Greenwood.
In making the announcement.
Miss Pressly said that many per
sons think of the old-age and sur
vivors insurance program as pro
viding protection only for older
men and women. She made it
dear that it is also ■ a program
benefiting youngsters. At the
end of 1955, nation-wide, about
1,275,chldren under age 18
were receiving monthly benefit
payments under the social secur
ity law. Of these, 120,000 were
being paid monthly dependents'
benefits because of th« retire
ment of an aged parent; the oth
ers were receiving survivors ben
efits as children of a deceased
parent. Miss Pressly pointed out
that about four times as many
orphaned children are receiving
benefits under the old-age and
survivors insurance program as
are being helped under the fed-
eral-srtate program for aid to de
pendent children Nation-wide,
almost 300.000 mothers of chil
dren under age 18 were receiving
monthly survivors insurance
benefits under social security at
the end of 1955.
As a further illustration of the
protection federal surwors in
surance now provides for the*
young people of the country, Miss
, Pressly pointed out that the
I mothers and children in 9 out of
J 10 Amercian families can receive
I monthly survivors insurance ben-
I efits, if death should take the
j family breadwinner. More than
half of all young children in the
I United States whose fathers hive
died were receiving social secur
ity benefits at the end of 1955.
In all, 1628 people in Laurens
county were getting $67,709 each
month in old-age and survivors
insurance benefits at the end of
1955, This was an increase of 12
per cent over the number of ben
eficiaries at the end of 1954.
Aged people accounted for the
greatest number in the county’s
increased beneficiary total, she
said. Ih Laurens county at the
end of last year, 692 retired work
ers were getting $37,731 month
ly; 166 wives and dependent hus
bands were receiving $4,697
monthly; 112 aged widows, wid
owers, and parents were receiv
ing $4,704 monthly as survivors
of deceased insured workers.
“With the bringing in of many
group? of employed and self-em
ployed persons previously ex
cluded, the old-age and surwors
insurance program achieved at-;
most universal coverage at the be
ginning of 1955,” Miss ^ Pressly
said. She pointed out that an
estimated 68 million persons had
taxable earnings under the pro
gram in calendar year 1955. Some
70 million workers were insured
as the year came to an end. Of
this number, 32 million ar e per
manently insured and can quali
fy for old-age benefits at age
65, regardless of future employ-
meat; likewise, in the event of
death, their Survivors can quali
fy for monthly benefits, lump-
sum death paymentx. orTjoth.

A Message to the
Democrats of Laurens County
From Your Senator
First and uppermost in my mind and heart is my deep sense of ap
preciation and everlasting gratitude for your vote of approval of my
record as your Senator for the past 8 years! —
If re-elected, I now pledge, you my continued foithfuJ ond conscientious efforts to work
for the best interests of ALL the citizens of Laurens County. I shall continue to vote for an
appropriation sufficient to provide separate but equal adequate educational opportunities
for all the youth of our County,Hind for an increase in teachers' pay and adequate teach^
ers' retirement.
I shall continue my efforts to provide sufficient funds for the aged and needy as well
as the physically and mentally handicapped in our County.
I will continue my efforts to improve the roads in Laurens County.
I love my County and my State, and shall continue to oppose vigorously any legisla
tion which tends to discourage new industries to locate in our State, and will continue to
vote for appropriations necessary to encourage and invite new industries to locate in this
County. (In fact, within 7 the past 3 days I have been assured that at least one large indus
try will locate in this County within the VERY near future).
To all who approve my legislative record, but who for good and sufficient reasons, did
not vote for me in the first primary, I ask your thoughtful consideration in the second pri
mary/assuring you that I will in the future, as I have in the past, represent every section
of Laurens County and all people, rich and poor alike, to the best of my ability.
Ralph T. Wilson
For Re-election to
The State Senate
