16 THE CLINTOfc CHRONICLE Thoraday, Jaae 7, 1962 nAxatm The summer season, getting into full swing along the Palmet to coast, found something new this year at Litchfield Beach. A revolutionary housing idea in this section of the nation is the establishment of a cooperaUve housing plan at this favorite re sort for many Carolinians. The co-op apartments are lo- eat+d just nortfc of Uie Litchfield Inn and provides all the comforts of home along with the comforts of living in a motel with swim ming pools and supn porches right on the ocean front. There are 28 stockholedrs who have bought shares ahd each share provides a beautiful duplex apartment. Some of these will be rented by the stockholders and all are maintained by the devel opment company, with maid ser vice, etc. This is the tourth summer since the Latchfield Beach devel opment got into its stride. The co op apartments constitute only one of many advances in modern development of the area. The State Highway Department is in the process of paving the North Litchfield Beach roads and the Park Service is developing Hunt ington State Park on the six miles of beach front north of North Litchfield . Several new homes are being built by individuals in the area. Some of these will be maintained as year-round homes while oth ers are summer playgrounds for families. Some are located on the ocean, while a few are fast springing up on inland canals cut to the ocean at Murrell s Inlet. Visitors are welcomed by a young tourist-minded man who heads the Litchfield development. He is Wallace Pate, a native of Greenville. Wally conducts tours around the beaches and across to the historic Litchfield Plantation, where plans are advancing to de velop an additional attraction in the form of a golf course and Mrs. C. B.

We could suggest many places to visit throughout the sunny fun section of our coast, but Ltich- field is worthy of your attention either as a place to visit a day, week or season; or even to settle on for your future beach home. International Paper Co. has an area located between Litchfield Beach and North LicthfMd. This ” — m ed, includes not only beaches for frolic and sunbathing, but it in corporates a pavillion for indoor entertainment and a series of cov ered tables and barbecue pits. The Huntington Park develop ment centers around the old Brookgreen Plantation.

A challenge to would-be beach combers: get in a lot of time traveling our coast this summer. But, practice caution and don’t get too much of that sun, it can be anything but fun. See ya there! ^ „ „ QUESTION: I applied for so cial security benefits in 1866. but so my claim was denied. I was born on August 12, 1863. Is it possible the recent changes in the social .security law could make me eligible for monthly benefits? ANSWER: Yes. At the time you applied for benefits in 1668. you required 10 quarters of cov erage. The 1661 amendments reduced the number required to 7 quarters. Inasmuch as you shy you have 11 quarters we sug gest you see your nearest social security district office as soon as possible. QUESTION: I was employed by the Federal Government until I retired at the age of 82 in July, 1660. Of course I was cov ered under Federal retirement and not under social security. I now have an opportunity to go to work under social security coverage. How many quarters of owerage will I require to be entittsd to a benefit? AltSfrER: At the present time a man who was bora in 1868 needs the equivalent of three years’ work. A woman bora in file same year needs nine quar ters or about 2W years’ work. QUESTION: My mother died In December, 1661. She was drawing widow’s benefits on my deceased father's account be cause she had not worked lohg enough on a job covered by so cial security to draw benefits m her own account. In 1668, when my father died, she was advised that she needed more work on her own account before she could qualify. Is it possible that a lump sum payment could be paid on her own account. ANSWER: Since 1668 there have been changes in the social security laws lowering the amount of work required. You should request your social se curity office to recheck your mother’s account to see if bene fits are payable. / IF YOU DON’T READ THE CHRONICLE YOU DON’T GET THE NEWS PHONE 833-0541 WE HAVE WHAT IT TAKES FOB EXPERIENCED PLUMBING AND HEATING BENJAMIN PHONE DIAL 8SM881 ar 888-mi Vacation Bound? *1 Milk Fed-Spring Veal Sal' You II find friendly WINN-DIXIE or KWIK-CHEK Stores throughout the South v«e» eM» v*e» Chuck Sight* 4ti«rv«d Tg Limit Quantitwt C«»yrl*M—Ittl—Winn Dint* St*rM, l(K.
