THE JAMESTOWN JOURNAL VOL 77. NO. *52 JAMESTOWN,~OHIO, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 30, 1954 TEN CENTS PER COPY Things You Should Know About New Social Security Law OUR WISH TO YOU Important things— things you need to know about— happen because of changes in the Social Security law, e f - : fcctive January 1. Here, then, are some reminders: PENSIONS FOR MORE PEOPLE. Millions are elig-i ible, starling in 1955, to work toward Social Security pen­ sions. Farmers, engineers, accountants, architects and many additional farm and household employes are includ-, od for the first time. So are ministers and State and local- government employes who elect to do so. Those who come in must have Social Security account numbers, though, to' get credit for earnings. The numbers can be obtained from j Social Security field offices, or by sending in application? blanks available at post offices. BENEFITS AND TAXES. In­ dividuals already covered will be building toward bigger benefits— and many must start paying more Social Security taxes. The rate slays the same, 2 per cent if you are an employe and 3 per cent if you are self-employed. But you’ll be paying on the first $-1,200 of your earnings, instead of the first $3,600 ns in the past. HOUSEHOLD EMPLOYES. Lots of persons will have to start paying Social Security taxes on wages of maids, handy men and other domes­ tic employes who u‘ to now haven’t been coverod. The hew rule is that Social Security taxes must be turn­ ed In for everyone to whom you pay!period in which you were totally j ns much as $50 in a calendar qunr-!disabled from any cause- -physical? ter, regardless of liow many days:or mental. People already receiving i $1,200 or less In a year will not count' but, for every $80 a month above : that, you may lose a benefit check.! The old limit was $75 a month.! After you reach age 72, however, j you gel your check no matter how] much you earn. { DISABILITY AND DROP-OUT. i You'll bo able to get spccinl con-j slrleratlon, arter January I, that! will wipe out gaps in your Social) Security record or help boost yourj benefits if you are disabled. Thej new drop-out rule lets you ignore; as many as five years of your' low- j est earnings In figuring the amount: of your benefit. The disability j freeze can wipe off your record any! ho works. A calendar quarter is a three-month period beginning Jan­ uary 1, July 1 or October 1. You re­ port these taxes quarterly on form 942, whioh you get from your dis­ trict director of Internal Revenues, j EARNINGS LIMIT. If you work i after starting to draw Social Secur- J ity checks, new rules apply to th e ! amount you can earn without los- i ing monthly benefits, Earnings of I Social Security checks can ask toi have these rules applied to their past earnings if they meet certain conditions. Check on those through the nearest Social Security Admin­ istration field office. | Air Defense Problems Must Be Solved Before Another War I Defense of the United States from enemy air attack sis a problem which must be solved before the outbreak jof another war. In fact, the solution of this problem could -'contribute to the prevention of war. In the past, war was ja matter of armies and navies destroying like enemy forces. Air Power has changed that pattern, however, be­ cause it carries the war to the heart of warring nations. ,Tho ability of modern aircraft to cover great distances ra- jpidly, and the destructive power of modern weapons make vit possible for war to begin with attacks effective enough .to destroy cities and their war supporting facilities. This |means that the fh-st blows of any future war could be the Cincinnati SymphonytoPresent Concerts atWilmingtonCollege D e a t h s John W- Haughey ; Wilmington, O.,—The Cincinnati Symphony Orches- , Funeral services were conducted ;tra, conducted by Thor Johnson, will present two concerts Monday afternoon from the a t Boyd Auditorium, Wilmington College, on Monday, schliertz and Moore Funeral Home, More Dimes Needed To Combat Polio The annual March of Dimes will | J ftn u a ry 31>according to Samuel D.
