Social Security Office Tells About ‘Freeze’ Miss Martha F. Pressly, Dist rict Manager of the Greenwood Social Security office has some news of importance for people who have worked at least five years under social security and who, because of disability, have not been able to work for six months or more, according to an announcement she made today. “The Social Security Act now permits us to keep the benefit rights intact of a person who ia disabled before age 65 and who is unable to work because of his dis ability,” Mias Pressly explained. "To qualify for this so-called “dis ability freeze,' a person must have worked under social security fpr at least five years out of. the ten ars before he became disabled and one and a half years oqt- of the three years before he .became disabled. The disability ,miat have existed for niore^ t^qn six "months and a pet$oh. must t)e disabled at thfe time be files hwHhpplication for the ‘disability freeze.” "Anyone now .receiving a social security payment on his own earnings record may have h 1 s benefit refigured to exclude a period of disability, if he is now disabled and the disability was in existence for more than 6 months before he reached 66.” Miss Press ly continued. "Of course, he must meet the work requirement o f five years out of ten years and one and a half years out of three years as set out above.” "People who are now disabled and unable to work or anyone who becomes disabled In the future should contact his nearest social security office In order to learn how the ‘disability freeze’ may protect him," Miss Pressly said. "If you ore unable to contact us yourself, a friend or relative may do It for you. A period of disabil ity canrtot be established unless an application is filed with the social security office."

For centuries everybody believed the world to be flat; and for generations many fishermen have believed that a fish should be strung by both lips. The idea behind this is that a fish can’t breathe through his mouth and out his gills if his mouth is held open by a stringer though £he lower lip only—so it must be put through both. You can disprove this for yourself by trying the following experiment: Fasten your lips shut with adhesive tape, and pack your nostrils tightly with cotton. How well can you breathe, pal? Now, remove the tape and cotton and clip a clothespin on your lower lip. Hamper your breathing any? Not noticably. • - * The whole argument for fastening a fish’s mouth shut with a stringer through both lips is silly. Those who con tradict Lucas say if a fish strung by the lower lip is towed fast alongside, a boat, water pressure holds his mouth open so that he can’t breathe properly. Maybe—but who in the heck wants a string of fish drag ging alongside when he’s running fast with the motor? And who wants .them out there when he’s rowing far, tHe drag! turning the boat sidewise? Any fisherman I’ve ever seen lifts the fish in when he’s moving from one fishing spot to another, or running in to dock. If he’s going far, and the day is hot, he’ll stop occasionally and drop them out a while to regain their vitality. A fisherman generally uses the motor only for going from one promising spot to another, and the oars to pad dle around quietly while he casts. Then, he's not rowing fast enough for the drag alongside to^matter much, so he leaves the fish out. If they’re strung by the point of the lower lip only, with a wire snap, they swim quietly along side breathing normally. Such fish can be liberated with what is, in effect, no more than a pinhole, which will heal.
