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.
While disability insurance bene

A
■•vj IMRODS across the nation
have put their trusty fire
arms back on the rack, but down
in the deep South hunters are busi
ly inspecting their weapons in
preparation for an important up
coming season. 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.
