THURSDAY, DEC. 2, 1954 'THE NEWBERRY SUN PAGE SEVENS Mrs. Elliott Has Story Published In Clubwoman The following is an excerpt from an article which appeared in the current issue of Clubwoman, of ficial organ of the South Carolina Federation of Women’s Clubs. It was written by Mrs. F. Scott El liott of Newberry who has served as the chairman of the Epsilon, Sigma Omicron division since it was initiated as a part of the adult education department of SCFWC in 1951. She is also the first charter member of this national educational sorority. Mrs. T. C. Tindall of Newh«rry is also a charter member “The thoughtful club woman of today realizes that the acquiring of an education is a continuous process and that those who have ceased learning have ceased liv ing. Many women therefore are seeking through the twenty-four state chapters of Epsilon Sigma Omicron the assurance of aca demic guidance in Reading For a Purpose courses which will pro mote their educational develop ment. These courses are usually administered by state universities and are designed to carry out the motto '‘Enlighten Your Own Path way.” Those who complete four of the courses are rewarded by becoming members of the sorority, provided they are members of GFWC affiliated clubs. “Since earning its charter in 1952, the South Carolina Omicron chapter has made steady progress. It has made a generous contribu tion toward program building for the clubs of South Carolina. It has twenty members and twenty pledges (those .who have begun reading courses).” The Library Extension Division of the University of South Caro lina is the administrative agency. The following courses are now available for women who wish that type of self-culture to bfe gained through a new approach to art, literature and world problems: Literature of South Carolina; Bible in Every Day Life; Recent Drama in the United States; Re cent Biography, Books of 1950-51, Books of 1951-52, Books of 1952- 53, United Nations, Recent In ternational Literature, The Psy chology of Family Relations, Pub lic Speaking For Clubwomen, Chinese History and Culture, La bor Problems, the Appreciation of Music, and the Fine Arts. Other courses such as poetry and Journ alism are in the making.” Mrs. E. B. Hammond of the Book and Garden Club of Pampli- co has completed sixteen courses and is entitled to wear the guard to the beautiful E S O pin. words . . .■ i livMgiinKiyftW i/ sr^asi il Ini km THOUGHTS TUANK YOU FOR THE TIP,911?/ AT LOMINICK’S DRUG STORE PRESCRIPTIONS FILLED BY LICENSED DRUGGIST PRESCRIPTIONS ARE CALLED FOR AND DELIVERED PHONE 981 wrusr&FAceiT* y • "5 Hop Flowers and Gifts for All Occasions CARTER’S Day Phones 719 & 76—Night 513-R NEED EXTRA MONEY For YOUR CHRISTMAS SHOPPING $5 to $50 We have the money to make a quick, courteous and confidential loan to help you with your clothing problems.

SociarSecurity By MISS MARTHA PRESSLY (Manager, Greenwood S. S. Office) Today, I want to explain the drop-out of low years provision in the 1954 Amendment/to the So cial Security Act. There have been many changes in the law because of the new amendments, but the drop-out is something entirely new. Like most of the new law the drop-out isn’t difficult to ex plain because it makes such good sense. Often during the years in which I have been your social security representative, I have wished for some provision in the law which would help in a case such as the one I am going to tell you about now: Last year a gentleman of about 60 years, with an eye to the future protection of himself and his fam ily, stopped in to see me. He want ed me to help him figure out, as nearly as we could, the exact amount of the socihl security bene fit which he would receive when he became 65 or which his family could get in case of his death. He told me what he was earn ing from his work at the present time. And he believed that he would he getting that amonnt un til his retirement'Well, we quick ly computed his possible future benefit amount from the average of his monthly wages during the years in which his work had been covered by social security, and from the amount of wages he ex pected to earn in those future years during which he thought his work would be under social secur ity. When we were finished, he look ed disappointed, and I know right away what the trouble was. His monthly wage average had been brought way down by about four years of very low earnings from work covered by social security in the past. But because of the laws of mathematics, there was no way for me to assist him. Those years which were’nt as prosperous as the others in h*s long life as a wage earner were reducing his future benefits. This is not an isolated case. It J is a situation which occurs quite often. But the new amendments make it possible for me to help him and others like him. In the During the last six years, there have been approximately 1,000,000 more births in the U. S. each year than the average during the pre ceding years.

Under the new law, anyone who has a year and a half (six quart ers) of work covered by social se curity at any time after June, 1953, may take advantage of the four year drop-out. The drop-out of low or no earhihg years may be applied to people whose avemge monthly wage is based on their earnings after 1950. And if the average of the monthly wages is computed beginning with 1951 earnings, their low earnings before 1951 won’t pull their average down Whether or not the drop-out is used. The four year drop-out was created for the newly covered workers as well as the long term contributors. Since they must fig ure their average monthly wage beginning with 1951, the same as the people who have already been covered, this new group will have four years of no earnings under social security. The drop-out will be use<L to exclude these four years. Thpse workers who meet the above requirement and have had five years (or 20 quarters) of work under social security acquir ed at any time after 1936 may drop out up to five years of low earn ings. One rule to remember is that . i BOOKMOBILE SCHEDULE THURSDAY, DEC. 9 Mt. Bethel Garmany, Mrs. Min nie Leitzsey. Mrs. Raymond Nichols. Maybinton Community, Mrs. Arthur Maybin.

For example, if you have six Ibw earning months in one year and six low earning months in the next year, you would drop to years. You wouldn’t add the two six- month periods together and drop them as one year. The years which you drop don’t have to be consecutive. Suppose you had a low Income year in 1940 and another in 1944, but that the years in between were high earn ing years for you. Then you would disregard only tAose two low years. And you could also drop from twp to three other years either before or after 1940. You don’t have to drop the entire four or five years. You may have as little as one year discounted if that would give you the highest benefits. One year is the mini mum drop-out allowed under the law. In my next article, I‘m going to tell you how the new law has changed the figuring of benefit amounts. The drop-out of up to four or five low or no earning years is one of the changes in the law which will avoid reductions in future benefit amounts.
