Sociarsecurity
(By MRS. MARTHA F. PRESSLY)
I’ll be receiving thousands of
questions about social security be
cause of the 11MS4 Amendments to
the Social Security Act, signed this
summer by President Eisenhower
However, I’m afraid many people
with questions won’t visit our of
fice, so I am going to answer some
mi those unasked questions in this
series of articles.
It is difficult to realize that so
many people know so little about
something that is as important to
them as their social security. But
I fin'd that this isi true in many
cases. Common sense tells us the
importance of translating the tech
nicalities of the social security law
andi its changes into the thought
and life of the American people.
I feel that this is my duty as your
social security representative.
In this series of articles on the
old-age and survivors insurance
program, I shall describe the re
cent changes in the social security
law as they will directly affect
each and every one of us. I do this
with the sincere hope that you
will gain a more complete under
standing of your social security
and its effects on you and your
family.
When Congress proposed and
enacted the new amendments, it
did so with its main view towards
bringing social security insurance
benefits better in line with cur
rent earning levels and living
costs. And just as important are
the parts of thd law which extend
the coverage of social security to
more people, and in this way make
benefits available to more work
ers in their retirement and to their
families when they die.
To accomplish this end, the
changes in the law had to have two
objectives. First, social security
protection had to be extended to
more types of jobs so that a great
er number of people could partici
pate and through their contribu-

Blue Line March
Of Winthrop Girls
Is Slated Sunday
ROCK HILL, Sppt. 7.—The tra
ditional Blue Line march of the
Winthrop College student body to
the churches of Rock Hill has
been scheduled for next Sunday.
President and Mrs. Henry R.
Sims will lead the procession of
girls dressed in the navy blue and
white uniform colors of the col
lege. As required by the Student
Government Association, every
Winthrop girl will participate in
this r first-Sunday event, held an
nually since 1895.
Blue Line will follow this year
its customary route down Rock
Hill’s Oakland avenue. Grouped
by denominations, the students
will walk in a column of twos.
Bqch group will leave the column
as it arrives at one of the churches
along the route.
Marching at the head of the
column with President and Mrs.
Sims will be Dr. Blrdene Donald
son, dean of women; Miss Sidney
Rose Sarratt of Union, president
of the Student Government Asso
ciation; Miss Kitty Stanley of
Stenos, Typists

tiops qualify for social security
benefits. This was I written into
the new law, and now nearly nine
out of ten widi-kers are included
under the program. And of about
63 million 'jobs in the nation and
abroad, over 50 millipn are now
covered by social security.
The second objective was that
of giving increased benefits to
those already receiving old-age
and stirvivofs insurance payments
as well as to those who will be
getting them in the future. Three
important points under the in
creased benefits are the increase
in the amount of wages which will
be counted for social security pur
poses^ a drop-out of low or no
earning years; and a revised
formula for computing benefit
amounts. Another important pro
vision in the new law Is the pro
tection of insured status and bene
fit amounts for those who are
totally disabled.
ThL may be a good place to
point out that old-age and sur
vivors benefits are payable only to
persons who have worked for a
specified length of time in em
ployment or self -lemiployment
covered by social security and to
the qualified dependents of such
workers. Social security benefits
are paid out of a trust fund built
up entirely from the contributions
of covered employees and their
employers and of covered self-
employed persons, plus accumu
lated interest. Thus the financing
of the system is completely self-
supporting.
In this article I have sketched
the full scope of* the social secur
ity law as a huge picture.
The FSfth U. S. Civil SeUYksq
Region had announced an' exami
nation to fill stenographer
typist positions. Starting sale
for stenographers are from $2750
to $3175 and for typists from
$2600 to $2950. ,
All applicants must pass a writ
ten test. No experience is required
for positions paying $2500 and
$2750. However, applicants for the
higher grade positions must have
had certain experience in addition
to passing the written test.
Interested persons may secure
application forms or' information
as to where such forms are avail
able at the local post ‘ office ' at
