Small Paring Knife m % • * Workers Over 65 May Get Benefits Under Amended Act Many employed wage earners over 75 years of age have applied for old-*.ge and survivors in surance benefit payments, accord ing to Miss Martha Pressly, Manager of the Greenwood social security office. While Miss Pressly is greatly surprised at the comparatively large number of insured persons in this age group, her office has no way of knowing the total num ber. The reason for this lack of information is that many insured workers who have passed their seventy-fifth birthday have not applied for benefit payments. “They do not yet realize that they and their dependents can now have these monthly payments,” she says. Before the new social security law went into effect last Septem ber, payments could not be made to any insured worker over 65 who continued in a job covered by social security and earned over $14.99 in a month. Under the amended law, a worker over 75 may engage in any kind of employment or self-employment and have benefit payments regard less of the amount of his earn ings. Between the ages of 65 and 75 the insured person may now have $60 a month in work cover ed by social security. Miss Pressly says it has been found that most people are re luctant to stop working at any age if they are still in good health. She further points out that this new provision for in sured people over age 75 will be an incentive to continue in gainful work. She urges all insured workers Extension Not Granted In Filing Charts COLUMBIA, JUNE 2—No ex tension of the May 31 deadline has been granted for retailers of “consumer durable goods” covered under ceiling price regu lation 7 to file required price charts, District OPS Director James D. Griffin announced today. Acting on higher level orders, Griffin asserted every retailer of clothing, textiles, furniture, house- wares, jewelry and many other items listed in CPR 7 who can not qualify as a “small” retailer must file a chart or be in viola tion on every listed item sold on or after June 1. Only “small” retailers are al lowed the election of remaining under the General Ceiling Price regulation “freeze” order, he said. If the small merchant chooses to remain under GCPR, he files nothing with OPS, but must keep records used in establishing his ceiling price under the free*e order. Griffin defined the “small” mer chants as retailers whose base period annual volume of sales is less than $20,000. on all com modities listed by CPR 7 and Amendments, or retailers of hous.ewares, notions, sporting goods, silverware, china, jewelry, watches and clocks whose annual volume of these commodities Is aged 75 or older, and who have not yet applied for benefit pay ments to do so without delay, even though still working full time. Back payments can he made for as many as six months, but failure to make application at the Greenwood office promptly, may result in the loss of one or more months benefit payments to the worker and his dependents. 1|1| «i> 1m testing for •a 99 counterfeits The pirate had good reason to be wary—he never knew but what he might be risking life and limb for treasure that would prove to be counterfeit!

World War II Veterans Get Security Credits Of great importance to veter ans, their families or survivors is a new amendment to the so cial security law which grants wage credits of $160.00 for each month of World War II military service. Since these credits may be given whether or not the vet eran died in service or after dis charge, survivors in many cases where payments were not possi ble under the old law, will now be eligible for monthly benefits. Because of these new service- connected wage credits, others may receive substantially increas ed payments. For veterans now living, these credits may be used in determing the amount of in-' surance payments to the veteran and his family when he retires at age 66 or later. Also, they can be used to determine the aJkount of monthly benefits pay able to his survivors in case of his death at any age. Former legislation did not provide any credit for military service where NEW UNDER THE SUN § CHICAGO—For those who scoff that there’s really nothing new un der the sun, here is the “lingerie look” in beachwear.
