Social Security Benefits
In Laurens County at Rate
Of $1,580,000 Annually
As of February. 1958. old age, sur
vivors and disability insurance
monthly benefits were being paid in
the seven counties served by the
Greenwood District office at the
rate of $6,803,208.00 a year, to 11,-
692 individuals, according to Miss
Martha F. Pressly, manager of the
. Greenwood social security office.
• “This is an increase of about 30%
over last year,” Miss Presslysaid.
Miss Pressly stressed that while
the benefits are intended primarily
for the beneficiary’s economic se
curity, the payment of social se
curity benefits at the rate of $1,580,-
088 a year in Laurens County helps
business in the community general-!
ly because most of the money is;
spent immediately on food, clothing
and other necessities. “In Febru
ary social security benefits were
being paid nationally at the rate of
nearly 10 billion dollars annually.”
"Payments to a retired worker
with no dependents receiving ben
efits averaged $67.50 a month na-
4 tionally in February, and to a re
tired couple $119.40 a month,” Miss
Pressly said. The average for a
widow with two young children
was $165. The maximum payment
for a family is $254.
“There are several reasons for
the increase in beneficiaries over
last year,” Miss Pressly said. TTie
Inog term growth of the aged pop
ulation and of the proportion of the
aged population eligible for ben
efits are important factors in the
continuing increase in the number
of beneficiaries. Other reasons for
the increase of beneficiaries are
found in the provisions of the 1958
amendments to the Social Security
Act which now make it possible for
the wife, the dependent husband,
9 and children of a disabled worker
beneficiary to receive monthly pay
ments. These amendments also pro
vide for benefits to aged depend
ent parents of a deceased worker
even though other survivors are en
titled to payments.
Moreover, Miss Pressly pointed
out, it is now easier for a disabled
worker to qualify for bnefit pay
ments. He no longer needs social se
curity credit for m years of work
in the last 3 years before he be
came- disabled. If he worked under
social security for at least 5 years
out of the 10 before he became dis
abled he may be eligible for dis
ability benefits.
"Increases in average benefit
payments reflect the 7% raise in
benefit amounts which became ef-
I fective with the checks for anu-
ary, 1950,” Miss Pressly said. Av
erage disability benefit payments
also reflect the elimination of the
so-called “offset” provision In the
old law Disability benefits under
social security are now payable
in full even though benefits are also

payable under state workmen's
compensation or under some other
Federal Government program.

ber and amount of each type of ben
efit being paid in Laurens County

the rate of $5,958,304 per month. So

Young Mother Kills
Baby With 18 Shots;
In State Hospital
Laurens—A 25-year-old Laurens
County mother took the life of her
two-year-old adopted daughter with
a 22 calibre repeating rifle early
Friday morning
Sheriff C. W. Wier said the little
girl, Gwendolyn, died of 18 bullets
fired at close range as she slept in
the bedroom of the three-room
frame home in the Fork community
12 miles southwest of Laurens,
shortly after 12:30 a. m., Friday.
The mother, Mrs. Margaret Boy
ter, told deputies that the child was
"possessed of a demon,” accord
ing to Sheriff Wier
Mrs. Boyter, who herself was
reared <by foster parents, was taken
to the State Hospital in Columbia
for psychiatric tests
Near the crib in which little
Gwendoly died, was 'a bassinet in
which the Boyters’ infant daugh
ter, Karen Sue. slept through the
sohoting
The father, Roy Boyter, Jr , 28-
year-old veteran of Air Force duty,
told officers that he had borrow
ed a 22 calibre Winchester pump
gun from his sister-in-law's home
about midnight Thursday because
prowlers had been heard around
the place.
Boyter said, according to officers,
that he came home, loaded the
rifle and placed it in the living room
where it would be available for his
wife’s protection after he left for
work early in the morning. He is
employed at Matthews Mill in
Greenwood.
While his wife was preparing for
bed, he told officers, he went to the
kitchen and fell across a bed located
there and went to sleep immedi
ately without undressing.
He toM officers he apparently
was aroused by the sound of the
shots, went into the bedroom and
found his wife standing by the crib
with the rifle in her hand
Mr. Boyter said he took the rifle
from his wife and aroused nearby
neighbors who called officers.
Deputies George Blackwell and
Joe Cook were the first oficers to
arrive at the scene. They described
the mother as "wild and irrational.”
They said she was dressed for bed
and wearing a gown and housecoat.
Mr. Boyter told officers that he
had noticed nothing unusual in his
wifes’ behavior immediately before
the incident but that during the past
two weeks she had “talked a lot
about religion,” which, he said, was
not her usual'custom
He said his wife 'had not been
well” siny the birth of Karen Sue
last September 29
Gwendolyn was adopted in infancy
by the Boyters. Karen was the first
! child horn ta them.

Coach Frank Jones last Monday

The fact that representatives of

also was scouting the Blue Hose

itated the early action on the pari of
the Tangerine Bowl committee

said the Tangerine Bowl is consid- !
ered ‘one of the better bowls,” and
it was the first involving smaller
college teams to receive the ap
proval of the National Collegiate
