He stated that while the women of the auxiliary were not in the foreground of the treatment of patients, their in fluence was definitely felt in the background of every good doctor. The science of medicine is in a very healthy state, ha said, but the problems in need of attention is the distribution of medicine and facilities. Auxiliary members need to keep abteast and well in formed of the problems besetting the doctors, and keep informed of all comment, both good and bad, and help see that any revisions are made with understanding, he explained.

Social Security Changes Are Told Some important changes have been made in the old-age and survivors insurance program as a result of the Social Security Amendments of 1956 which President Eisenhouser signed in to law on August 1st. All of the changes, directly or indirectly, affect our people as a whole. Working persons—emp loyed and self-employed—need to know about them; their families need to know about them. I re alize that it is part of my job as fied representative for the Social Security Administration in this series of articles. In the articles to follow I shall describe the changes singly and in detail; today, I shall restrict myself to a summary of the three most important changes designed to strengthen this Federal insur ance system which provides par tial protection against loss o f earned income upon the retire ment or death, and now—under certain conditions—upon the to tal disability of the workef. Effective with September of this year, benefits will become payable to worpen when they ob tain the age of 62. Survivor’s ben efits for widows and, in certain cases, mothers of deceased work ers will start with a payment for November which will be received early in December. The amount of the monthly payment will be the same that they would have start ed getting at the age 65 under the old law. Beginning with Novem ber 1956, retired insured women workers and wives of retired workers can start getting benefit payments at age 62. In these cases, the amount of the payment will be somewhat less than the amount that would have been payable at age 65 under the old A change has been made in the total disability provision in the law. While the “disability freeze provision which protects the soc ial security insurance rights of workers is continued, monthly cash benefit payments beginning with July 1957, will be made to totally disabled workers when they reach age 50. Beginning with January 1957 monthly benefits are now payable to a disabled un married child, even after the has reached age 18, if the child was disabled since before he reached 18 and is the dependent child of a retired or deceased par ent, step-parent, or adopting par ent who is eligible for old-age in surance benefits under social se curity, or was insured for the purpose of survivors benefits at the time of his or her death. Other important changes in the law affect farmers, both employ ed and self-employed. While there have been no changes in old-age and s urvivors insurance rates, there are charges in the way ben efits can be figured and the time necessary to become insured for payments. The latter provision is of special importance to persons whose kind of work is now cov ered by social security as of Jan uary 1, 1956. Newly covered groups are lawyers, dentists, vet erinarians, chiropractors, naturo paths, osteopaths, and optome trists. . ., Other recent legislation provid es for the extension of social se curity on a permanent contribu tory basis ater 1956 of the armed forces on active duty. Some of the changes I nave mentioned are retroactive as of November of this year; still other changes will not go into effect until January 1, 1957; and o 1 '.® does not become effective until July 1, 1957. In my next article, I shall dis cuss the newly-covered professio nal groups and explain the steps they must take to have their earn ings correctly reported for social security credit under the amended 1 o nr Reception Honors Pastor’s Family The Calendar Society of Central Methodist Church gave a recep tion honoring the Rev. and Mrs. Melvin Derrick and their sons, John and Bob, on Sunday after noon, Sept. 23, from 4:00 until 6:00 p. m., at the home of Mr. and Mrs Richard L.
