PAGE FOUR THE NEWBERRY SUN, NEWBERRY, SOUTH CAROLINA THURSDAY, MAY 19, 1966 Medicare not only change in Social Security “Medicare” was not the only change made in social security by the 1965 amendments to the social security law. Miss Martha F. Pressly, social security dis trict manager in Greenwood, stated that while “medicare” •was a major change, there were other importnat changes in the 1965 amendments. Miss Pressly said that one such change, of importance to many workers, involved “tips.” She stated that tips under cer tain conditions will be consid ered wages beginning January 1, 1966, and must be reported for social security purposes from then on. To many people, this will mean higher social se curity benefits at retirement, in case of disability, or for their survivors if they should die. To be included as wages, Miss Pressly stated, tips must amount to $20 or more in one month while working for any one employer. Under the new amendments, the individual is required to make a written report of his cash tips to his employer at the end of each month if they total $20 or more. The employer is responsible for reporting reg ular wages as well as tips to the Internal Revenue Service. He is also responsible for withholding social security tax on both wages and cash tips re ported to him. If regular w r ages are not enough to cover the social security tax, the emplo yee may give the employer funds for this purpose. If the employer is not able to collect all the social security tax due on tips by the end of the 10th day after the end of the month in which the tips were reported, the employee will be required to pay any re- | maining tax directly to hte In ternal Revenue Service. If the employee reports his tips late, he will be liable for a penalty. The employee should keep a daily record of his tips to as sist him in completing his written report to his employer. The employer is required to keep a record of tips reported to him also and must include wages and tips on the emplo yee’s W-2 form. Miss Pressly suggested that employees check their social security record from time to time to be sure they are re ceiving credit for all their earnings. Any social security distric toffice will provide a post card form to use in re questing an earnings record summary. Miss Pressly stated that for further information about tips or questions concerning soc ial security, a person may tel ephone, write or visit the nearest social security office. The Greenwood social security office is located at 219 Magno lia Avenue, or telephone OR 3- 1711. WHAT'S IN YOUR ATTIC ? [—[ op wportf. □ OU> ClOTHE*.

UNITED STATES BREWERS ASSOCIATION, INC. PjO. BOX 6247, COLUMBIA, S.C. 29206 Woman’s Club hears Wolff John Wolff, a Junior Eng lish major at Newberry College was guest speaker when the Woman’s Club met Thursday at the home of Mrs: W. M. Garlington. Mr. Wolff, who was present ed by Mrs. W. E. Shealy, is a son of Rev. and Mrs. H. A. Wolff of Columbia. He is ac tive in the field of student pub lications, is editor of the 1967 Newberrian, was assistant ed itor of same in 1966, is junior editor of the Kinnikinnick, lit erary magazine, has served as reporter and artist for the In dian, college newspaper for 3 years, and is also a drama minor, appearing in a number of the productions of the New berry College Theatre. John became interested in Thomas Wolfe, the author, while taking a course in “Mod ern Novels” this semester. His extensive research made him well qualified to .present the author in an interesting light. John began by first giving a general survey of the life and personality of Thomas Wolfe by presenting excerpts from his novels, showing his many sided personality. Wolfe it was shown was almost a recluse at times and seemed to like to stand off from the crowd and criticize people in general and some in ^articular. Even his closest as sociates and his family were targets of his criticism. This made him very much disliked and even brought on a few law suits. The characters he presented in his books were real people, easily distinguishable even tho they had been given fictitious names. He always projected himself in all his work. Thru these glimpses of the author’s life was obtained a very clear picture of him and his unhappy childhood. His views were often warped, but true to life as he saw it. He often became critical of Americans and at these times made many trips to Europe. It was alo here that he did much of his writing. On one of these trips he bcame ill of pneumonia and died, at an early age. Although he had a splendid formal education, he did much bad writing at times; however, he was considered a genius in his field and his novels acquire a greater meaning once the reader considers the man who wrote them. Wolfe’s major novels are “Look Homeward Angel,” “Of Theatre i THURSDAY, FRIDAY & SATURDAY Clint Walker, Martha Heyer, Keenan Wynn, Nancy Kulp The Night of The Grizzly MONDAY & TUESDAY Marcello Mastroiaimi, Ursula Andress, Elsa Martinelli The 10th Victim Drive-In Theatre FRIDAY & SATURDAY Murieta Jeffrey Hunter, Arthur Kennedy Time and the River,” “The Web and the Rock,” “You Can’t go Home Again” and the nov elet “The Hills Beyond.” The speaker then cited many factual incidents in the biog raphy of the author which ap pear as segments of his novels, giving a better understanding of the man and throwing light on many of his quirks of char acter. The club members enjoyed this frank and revealing re view, and thanked Mr. Wolff for his interesting presenta tion. Mrs. Shealy presented John one of Wolfe’s novels. Mrs. F. Scott Elliott, pres ident, presided over a short business session. This being the club’s last meeting of the club year, the members gave Mrs. Elliott a rising vote of thanks for the splendid work she had done. Mrs. Elliott then thank ed the club for its cooperation and presented the gavel to the incoming president, Mrs. John J. Chappell.
