Benefits One of the most important rea sons for social security insurance benefits is the protection of chil dren. “Before the recent changes in the law, however, foster children who had not been legally adopted were often out of luck where so cial security is concerned. I have known many “little orphan Ann ies” who were not eligible- for payments. It is no longer necessary that a child, other than the worker’s own child, be an adopted child in order to qualify for survivor’s benefits. The requirement now is that the child be “adoptable” and be adopt ed by the surviving spouse within two years after the worker’s death. If the child was living in the worker’s household as a mem ber of the family, and was not supported by anyone other than the worker, the spouse or a social agency, he is now regarded, for social security purposes, the same as the worker’s own child. In the case of the adopted child of a retired inured worker it is no longer necessary that the child have been adopted for as long as three years in order to be eligible for benefit payments. The 3-year restriction was put in the old law had made her home in Newberry for over 30 years and was a mem ber of Summer Memorial Luther an Church. Surviving are her husband, George Stribble of Newberry; 2 sons, Clarence Walter and George Lindey Stribble, both of New berry; 2 daughters, Mrs. Mamie Frick of Newberry and Mrs. Dor othy Fulmer of Waterloo; 2 sis ters, Mrs. Annie Buzhardt of New berry and Mrs. Hayne Wilson of Prosperity; 15 grandchildren and 5 greatgrandchildren. Funeral services were conduct ed at 4:30 p. m. Wednesday at McSwain Funeral Home by the Rev. G. B. Corley and the Rev. Horace J. C. Lindler. Burial was in Rosemont Cemetery. to guard against abuses through adoptions undertaken to secure rights to benefits. As adoptions are subject to court approval in the various States, however, Con gress decided that this is a rare abuse, and removed the restric tion from the law. Benefits are now payable to an adopted child immediately after adoption. Under the old law, the mother of a child adopted by her deceased husband could not get widow’s benefits if their marriage had not been effect for at least a year be fore his death. This often resulted in a situation where the child could get survivor’s benefits but the widow with the child in her care could not. Under the amend ed law, the length-ofmarriage re striction has been removed if- the deceased worker legally adopted the spouse’s child. The amended law includes other changes relating to marriage and remarriage. I shall discuss them in the next article in this series. Another Bridge To Be Built On Interstate 26 A contract for the construction of an underpass under a second- aryroad on Interstate Route 26 in Newberry County has been awar ded by the State Highway De partment to Dickerson, Jn c *» of Monroe, N.C.

Z u r c e 11 “Your Private Bankers” 1418 Main St. Newberry Connie Towers Hits The Top; Visited Here (The following article appeared recently in the Atlanta Journal. Many Newberrians had the pleas ure of meeting Miss Towers when she appeared two years ago at the Laurel Hill Supper Club in Colum bia and while she was a guest of Radio Station WKDK and Mr. and Mrs. Jimmy Coggins in New berry.) HOLLYWOOD, Oct. 30 - Con stance Towers, who has the dream assignment of co-starring with William Holden and John Wayne, should have been a star years ago. One of the things that held her back is that producers didn’t have the vision that some of the rest of us had. Another is — I beg your pardon for this — that Connie towers. She stands a delightful 5 feet 9 or 10 in high heels. Though she has obvious qualities for stardom — a natural Bergmanesque beauty, blonde kelly-like hair and a rich voice that is all her own -- her height was against her. Somehow, male stars don’t like to look up at their leading ladies. Fortunately, Wayne and Holden rise above her. Hence she quali fied for the leading female role in the five-million-dollar “Horse Sol diers.” She doesn’t just stand around and hold the reins; it’s a real starmaking role. She plays a Southern Belle who spies on Yan kee interlopers Wayne and Holden and is kidnapped by them on their cavalry march through the South. Why hasn’t she gotten to the top faster? It’s a wonder to many who have caught her on the supper club cir cuit. I recall seeing her on the clo sing night of the old Last Fron tier Hotel in Las Vegas. She was a knockout. But she couldn’t get anywhere in films. Columbia brought her out here after she made a hit in her first bigtime date as a singer at the St. Regis in New York. “I did just one picture — a quickie with Frankie Laine,” she recalled. I didn’t have much to do, and Blake Edwards, who was directing his first picture, didn’t have much time to devote to me. The picture did nothing for me.” She asked for her release arjd got it. Then she went back to the clubs.' “I had to find out who I was and where I wanted to go,” sne | remarked. “For a year and a half, I was on the road, playing tne ( kilton Hotel circuit. It was won derful experience. I discovered what kind of songs I could sing and what kind I couldn’t. I met up with all kinds of audiences.” But the constant grind of two week stands wore her down, and she decided to try her luck at films again. The luck wasn’t good. Marty Rackin considered her for an Alan Ladd film, but her height obviously ruled her out. Mean while she studied dramatics and sang occasionally on TV. Rackin remembered her when he went independent with Johh Lee Mahin. He introduced her to director John Ford, the ardent fan of Ireland and thp Navy. “It didn’t hurt that he had served with my uncle, who is an admiral in the Navy, and that myj father was born in Dublin,” Con-! nie smiled. Of the 500 actresses considered, she was one of 10 tested. She won. And now, somewhat overdue, she’ll be a star. 1 Bob Underwood Joins Staff Of Purcells Firm Fish For Pond Here Friday A Fish and Wildlife' Service truck will arrive in Newberry at the fairgrounds Friday, Novem ber 7 at 10:30 a. m. to distribute bream fingerlings to 52 farm pond owners in the Newberry Soil Con servation District, according to Elmer Epting, SCS technician.
