New Social
Questions
And Answers
(By Martha Pressly, Manager,
Greenwood Held Office, Social
Security Board.)
(Editor's Note: This is No. 8 in
a series of 12 sets of Questions
most frequently asked. No. 9 will
appear next week.)
Q: Do the Old-Age Insurance
amendments make any change in
the method of calculating bene
fits?
A: Yes. Benefits under the
amendments will be figured on the
average monthly wage of a work
er instead of the total wages he
VkOC AdT'HPH
Q: What effect will this have
on the wage earner?
A: It will enable him to receive
a larger benefit than he would
('-ave received under the original
law.
Q: Will the new method of
figuring benefits make any impor
tant change in the procedure al
ready established by the Social
• .Security Board for the mainte
nance of wage records?
A: No. Employers will continue
to send to the Collector of In
ternal Revenue their tax returns
along with the detailed statement
of the wages earned by each of
their employees, and the Bureau
of Old-Age and Survivors Insur
ance will continue to record these
earnings on the individual sheets
of the millions of workers for
whom accounts are established.
Q: What is the new formula for
calculating monthly benefits?
A: The insured worker will re
ceive as a basic benefit 40 per
cent of the first $50 of his average
monthly earnings in covered em
ployment, plus 10 per cent of his
average wage over $50 and up to
$250 a month. He will also receive
an additional 1 per cent of his
basic benefit for each year in
which he has earned at least $200
in covered employment.
Q: What record must the em
ployer give the worker showing
that he has paid the tax?
A: Each employer of one or
more, beginning January 1, 1940
must give each employee a written
statement showing the amount of
tax deducted from his pay for
Social Security.
Q: Is there any penalty on an
employer who refuses to give
worker a written statement?
A: Yes. If an employer de
liberately refuses to give an em
ployee a written statement show
ing the amount of taxes deducted
from his pay for Social Security,
the employer is liable for a $5
fine for each offense.

Chevrolet-
Nov. 20 Sales
Detroit, Mich., Nov. 30.—Retail
sales of new Chevrolet passenger
cars and trucks for the 10-day
period ending Nov. 20 maintained
their steady increase over 1938,
according to figures made public
by Central Office here today. A
gain of 14.3 per cent over the Nov.
10-20 period of 1938 was reported
with the'announcement that 29,-
684 new cars and trucks were de
livered to owners during the same
period this year.
New car and truck sales for the
month November to date showed
a similarly high gain over last
year, the figures indicate, the
total of 59.378 being 14.4 per cent
ahead of the total at this time
last year.
Especially significant, as an
index of business revival through
out the country, were the Ugu^
showing truck sales gains in the
last 20 days. Chevrolet’s com
mercial car department reported
retail sales of 11.596 units as a-
' T ainst 8,185 during the same
period in 1938. This gain, amount
ing to 41.6 per cent, was pointed
to as indicative of a general im
provement in business condition':
’Mnre both industry and retail
business are heavy users of com
mercial equipment. A total of 5 -
467 trucks was sold in the 10-day
oeriod ending Nov. 20.
TTsed car o ales likewise held to
the upward course which has
characterized the Chevrolet sales
graoh since introduction of 1940
models. For the first 20 davs of
November. 1939. the total sale of
74 3^4 units is 15.2 per cent ahead
of the 64,514 units sold by Chev
rolet dealers in the same period of
1938. Used car sales for the sec-
r, ri<i 10-day period of the month
this year, totalling 38,883, topped
the first 10 days by 9.7 per cent, c
gain of 3,422 units.
Speaking of the importance of
farmers testing and treating their
! cotton seed. County Agent Shelley
this week declared:
“Seed treatment does not put
life into dead seed. Therefore, it
is very important that cotton
farmers of the state have a germi
nation test made of their seed be
fore they treat them with mercury
dust.”
“High germination is important
to obtain proper spacing of cotton.
Before the time of the boll weevil,
proper spacing and a good stand
were not as important as they are
today. As a matter of fact, poor
stands may contribute to severe
weevil damage, since farmers
do not get their maximum amount
of early fruit.”
Farmers should have their seed
tested immediately and if the
germination tests prove that their
own supply is not satisfactory,
cotton planters should take im
mediate steps to obtain seed of
high germination.
The county agent will assist
farmers in locating seed of high
germination. If seed of low
germinating quality are to be
planted, then it is essential that
a proportionately larger amount
of seed be put down.
The Department of Agriculture,
Commerce, and Industries in Co
lumbia. County Agent Shelley
pointed out, makes germination
tests for the farmers of South
Carolina free of charge.
