RAY DAWKINS, County Treasurer Social Security Office Is Busy The Greenwood social security office is experiencing the greatest rush of business in the 19 and one-half years of its existence. Since the first of the year, the number of people making claims for insurance benefit payments has practically tripled over that of a year ago, J. E. Gunter, field CLOVER LEAF DRIVE-IN Theatre FRIDAY & SATURDAY The representative said today. In one January week alone, a total of 160 people in this area made claims for old-age, survi vors, or disability insurance pay ments. Mr. Gunter said that his office is doing everything possible to expedite the handling of people making benefit claims. Since the 1956 amendments to the Social Security Act became law last August, the Greenwood district office has added one staff member to help process the increased workload. Due to the increased number of claimants, however, many may have to wait longer for inter views when they come to the so cial security office. Also, he said, the large number of claimants in the office slow up the processing of the claim papers. A new bene ficiary must sometimes wait long er before he receives his first monthly insurance benefit check. “If you have made a claim for payments but have not yet re ceived your first check, please be patient,” Mr. Gunter urges. He assures those who have recently filed claims that the delay will not result in any loss of benefits. The date an application is filed, not the date of the final award, is used in figuring the monthly benefit amount. Furthermore, he pointed out, benefits can be paid for a period of as much as a year before the time a claim for bene fits is made when people are en titled to back payments. Benefit checks for future months will not be affected by the workload and will reach beneficiaries on time. Commenting on the unprece dented number of claims now on hand, Mr. Gunter said that the sit uation is temporary. It is due largely to the recent changes in the social security law. Women can now elect to claim benefits at age 60. In the country as a whole, more than 600,00 wo men between the ages of 62 and 65 have filed claims since this provision first became effective last November.

And, while they are getting ready, practically ev ery one of them thinks he hears the gobble-gobble of an old Tom Turkey breaking the misty silence of a morning in the swamp. In sev eral deep South states, spring turkey season opens April 1 Mississippian O L. Green, a veteran outdoorsman, hunter and wildlife enthusiast, has bagged as many Toms as anybody we know. Here are some Turkey tips he passed along to us: ' Locating your gobbler is half the show. In swampy areas, - tur keys like to roost near water and can be heard for a consider able distance when they fly into a tree. A turkey gobbler feels se cure when he is on the roost and in the early morning will gobble at almost any strange noise. Hoot like an owl, use a crow or hawk call, and any gobbler in hearing distance will usually answer. Once you’ve located your quarry, don’t get too close; three or four hun dred yards is near enough. Pick an open spot with a tree or a clump of bushes in the center, use vour call sparingly and make the ■’d come to you. An old gobbler ; that way because he is smart •-te often he will approach from the opposite direction to that from which he is expected. An excellent load for this type of turkey hunting is a shell with No. 7% shot in the chamber backed up with a pair of 2’s in the magazine. Matching wits with a turkey is fun—and more than often the hunt er comes out second-best. age 50 first become payable for the month of July 1957, a man dis abled people are now filing claims.
