Re-FigureOld
Age Benefits

Miss May E. Smith, manager of
the Jackson, Miss, office of the So
cial Security Board, explains the
effect of the Boards announcement
that upon request it will re-calcu-
late the amount of old-age and sur
vivors insurance benefits available
to once-retired workers to include
credit for wages received since the
benefits were first claimed.
This action, Miss Smith says,
lis intended to take into account
the fact that many workers past
the age of IS, who have retired and
drawn benefits. have gone back to
work since the country started its
preparation for war. Originally.
these workers by filing a claim set
their benefits so that they could
not be moved up or down. But
they returned to work unexpected
ly, and generally have received
higher wages than before. The

Support Prices
In Mississippi

A definite support price of 1925
under November Is OPA ceiling
applicable on markets and buy
ing stations other than Chicago
has been established on good to
choice butcher hogs weighing from
200 to 270 pounds, Claude L. WEIGH,
district representative of the War
Food Administrators office of
distribution, announced in Jack
SON this week. Since the ceiling
price throughout Mississippi is
$1415 per hundred weight for hogs
weighing 200 to 270 pounds, the
support price is $119O per hum
dred weight, WEIGH said.
The action, taken by amendment
to War Food Order rs, became eff
fective as of November Is. This or
der requires slaughterers to pay
not less than the support prices for
hogs. AS an additional price sup
port measure, the Reconstruction
Finance Corporation stands ready
to withhold slaughter payments
from any slaughterer who purchas-
es hogs below the support price
during the period for which such
payments are provided.
