The Newberry Sun, in coopera
tion with the Greenwood Field Of
fice, is publishing a series of
■questions and answers columns ex
plaining the new program.
The questions will be drawn
from those most frequently ask
ed by persons who have made in
quiries at the field office.
If you have a question thtft
you would like answered, address
your letter to the Social Security
Office, Greenwood, South Caro
lina. That office will reply direct
to you.
QUESTION: I want to earn
money this summer for college
next fall. Uncle Bill wants me
to work on his farm; Uncle Jim
has offered me a job in his store.
I want to get Social Security
credit for all my earnings. Will
it matter which job I take?
ANSWER: Yes, it will. Farm
work is not under Social Secur
ity unles you work five months
or longer for the same farmer.
Work for your Uncle Jim would
count from the start. ^
QUESTION: I have two Social
Security cards and I believe I
have Social Security credits under
both numbers. Does this make
any difference?
ANSWER: Yes, indeed. You
should contact the Social Security
office and notify them of both
numbers. They will then con
solidate the accounts.
QUESTION: I own and operate
an appliance store and make
Social Security returns on these
employees. (May I include my
maid on the same report for my
business?
ANSWER: Yes, you may.
QUESTION: I am |elf-employed
and make the maximum but my
business is seasonal for only five
months each year. Do I get a
full year’s credit or is it pro
rated?
ANSWER: You get a full year’s
credit. A self-employed person
who clears at least $400 in his
taxable year receives four quarters
of coverage for that year.
'Good Old Days’
Hard To Define
Who knows when “the good old
days” were? Maybe we’re living
in them. Maybe in years to come
we’ll look back to this very time
and think of it as “the good old
days.”
The “good old days” are diffi
cult to define. But perhaps when
we speak of them most of us
have in mind some period of the
past, when, as we remember it,
or as we have read of it, life
more predictable, or safer and
sounder, or more glamorous and
exciting than it now is.
But memory sometimes plays
tricks on us. Memory sometimes
puts a halo upon the past and
forgets the privileges and plea
sures and opportunities of the
present. %
In “the good old days” that
many of us remember, we didn’t
have penicillih. Pneumonia went
Bickley Picks
The Winners
(By T. Bl Bickley)
Well fans, another football sea
son has rolled around and I’m
back at the same old 'stand.
It reminds me of the crusty old
president of a country bank who
suddenly decided to be candid
on his eightieth birthday when
someone asked him, “How did
you get started in the banking
business anyway?” “Wasn’t noth
ing to it,” confessed old money
bags. “I just hung out a sign
sayin’ ‘Bank’. Fust thing you
know, a fellow comes along and
deposits a $100.00. A little later,
another comes- along and deposits
$200.00. By that time I was so
confident I put in ten dollars of
my own money.
Here goes my ten dollars!

‘Girl In Every Port’
Plays Sun.-Mon. At
Newberry Drive-In
Starring Groucho Marx, Marie
Wilson and William Bendix for
the first time as a comedy trio,
and filled with zany action from
start to finish, RKO Radio’s “A
Girl in Every Port” comes to the
Newberry Drve-In Sunday and
Monday as one of the funniest
film farces of recent years.
The hilarity starts when Grou
cho, an over-ripe Navy seaman,
and Bill Bendix, a dumber edi
tion of his Navy pal, acquire twin
race horses while on shore leave,
and also make the acquaintance
of Marie, a devastating if dumb
car-hop whose pop raised the
colts.
Prodded by "a bunko artist and
a jockey of dubious ethics, the
two sailors decide to race one
horse and sell the other. Through
a crazy mix-up, however, both
nags are taken to the paddock
on the day of the race while
simultaneously the jockey is
kidnapped by gangsters. Groucho
and Bill, each unaware of the
other’s purpose, scramble into
jockey outfits and appear at the
starting gate, each astride a horse
he thinks is the one entered in
the race. The race is a nightmare
for the announcer, who knows
he’s seeing double, especially when
the twin colts finish nose and
nose far ahead of the field.
How Groucho and Bendix blun
der their way out of the horrble
dilemma, and what happens to
the beauteous Marie, furnishes the
side-splitting climax of the film.
its own way. We didn’t have anti
tetanus shots or diphtheria serums,
or anti-toxins for typhoid. And
they all took their toll.
We didn’t have inspected foods
and milk sealed under sanitary
supervision.
We didn’t have billions for
every difficulty at every cross
roads. We weren’t on a spend
ing spree. We didn’t pay people
for what they didn’t do. We
didn’t have as many laws. We
didn’t have as many taxes.
We didn’t have central heating
or .air conditioning, or Social Se
curity, or luxury liners, or stream
liners, or Community Chests, or
PTA, or TVA, or atomic trouble
Some of us can look back to
the time when we didn’t have
most of the things on this long
list, and somehow think of those
days as “the good old days."
Perhaps some of us have for
gotten how much we can get
along without and still live rea
sonably happy lives. Perhaps
some of us fail to appreciate the
past, and some of us fail to
appreciate the present
But this we must remember:
We may now be living in “the
good old days”—in the good old
days of tomorrow. Sometimes we
may look back to this very
hour and say aloud, or silently,
that these were “the good old
days.”
