About Your....
Social Security
A recent change in the social
security law will benefit many
disabled widows in this area. In
the past only 60-year old wid
ows, or widows with minor
children or disabled children
could receive social, security
benefits. Beginning with Feb
ruary 1968, a disabled widow
who is at least 50 years old
can receive monthly social sec
urity checks even though she
has never worked herself. The
basic requiremnt for this new
benefit are (1) you must be
disabled to do any type of gain
ful work because of a physical
or mental ailment, (2) your
disability must be expected to
last one year, (3) your dis
ability must have existed at
the time of your husband’s
death, or within seven years
after his death. If you received
mothers’ benefit after your
husband died, your disability
must have occurred within 7
years of when your mothers’
benefits stopped.
The amount of the widow’s
benefit is based on the deceased
husband's earnings, and the
benefit is reduced by the num
ber of months the widow is
under age 62. For instance,
at the age 50 the benefit is 50
per cent of the husband’s
amount; at age 55, about 60 per
cent. The widow’s benefit, un
reduced at age 62, is 82 and
one half percent of her hus
band’s earned amount.

security office at 219 Magnolia
Avenue in Greenwood, tele
phone OR 3-1711.
Easter seal
response urged
Because of the steady growth
in numbers of crippled children
and adults in Newberry county,
the Newberry County Cripple
Children and Adult Society has
stepped up its rehabilitation
services, it was announced to
day.
According to Philip T. Kelly,
chairman of the Newberry
County Society, a total of 35
crippled persons received Eas
ter Seal treatment during 1967.
Already, there is a waiting list
of individuals who need assist
ance in this line.
“Despite medical and scienti
fic advances,” Kelly explained,
“the ranks of the crippled is
growing. This is because of
population growth, increased
numbers of accidents and med
ical treatment which saves vic
tims of crippling diseases who
might have died in past years.”
Nationwide, Easter Seal ser
vices are provided for almost
a quarter of a million handi
capped Americans last year, he
pointed out. Quoting the an
nual report of the National So
ciety for Crippled Children and
Adults, of which the Newberry
County Society is an affiliate,
he said that 1,200 programs are
in operation across the nation.
They include treatment and re
habilitation centers, sheltered
workshops, camps, recreation
and education programs and
many others.
“ Through these programs,
persons with a wide variety of
handicaps receive the help they
need to lead normal lives,” Mr.
Kelly said.
The local Society during the
past two weeks contributed
$200 to the five Newberry
County Special Education class
es to help in their work.
Treasurer Dudley French re
ported that as of March 15, a
total of $822.00 had been re
ceived by the Society in their
1968 campaign, which is head
ed by Col. James Holcombe.
Eighty per cent of the money
received during the campaign
remains in the county to help
with the local programs.
Citizens of Newberry county
are reminded to return their
Easter Seal envelopes as soon
as possible. The campaign
which started on March 1 ends
on April 14, Easter Sunday.
There is no door to door sol
icitation, only the envelopes and
individuals mail their contribu
tions to Mr. Dudley French,
Treasurer, 1227 Walnut street,
Newberry, S. C.
