If YOU retire after July, are en-
titled to the maximum, you can
get as much as $50. Since your
wife at 65 will get half that much,
or $40, a couple retiring after
July l could draw as much as
S12O a month for life.
By law Social Security pensions
until July l will range from a
minimum of $40 to maximum Of
S68.50. After that, while the max
imum remains, any retiring work.
er, of course, gets only the pen
sion to which he's entitled. And
that depends on several things:
The number of quarters-a guar
ter is a three-month period--he'S S
worked in a job covered by Social
Security; his earnings; and so on.
Although the present maximum
pension is $68.50, the average
worker-Simply because he's av-
erage-won't get that much if he
retires now. The average pension
now is running around SIP a
month.
And the average worker retir-
ing after July l won't be entitled
to that future maximum of $50.
The average pension for those re-
tiring after July l will run much
less than $50, perhaps $50 or so
a month.
Many workers now around 65-
because they already have enough
covered quarters to their credit
since the Social Security law went
into effect Jan. l, 1937-could
retire today and be entitled to
some kind of pension.
But, since each workers prob
lem is just a little different from
that of anyone else, each man
thinking of retiring has ques-
ton to face: In my particular
case, even though I quit now and
get a pension, will l benefit by
waiting until after July l?
And for the self-employed peo-
pie the problem is little more
complicated.
Until Jan. l, 1851, only en-
ployes were covered by Social Sc
curity, since that date about four
or five million self-employed
people have come under the COW
erage.
But some of those who have
been self-employed since Jan. /,
1851, were, for many years be-
fore then, employees of others. AS
such as they worked in covered
jobs for many quarters since So
cial security went on the books
Jan. l, 1887.
For that reason many people
presently self-employed could re-
tire now at 65 and draw a pen
sion based on E credits they ac-
CURED in those years when they
as employees.
But a number of those now self
never were under So
cial Security until Jan. /, 1851.
They can't retire and get a pen
sion until they've built up enough
Social Security credits.
The period between Jan. 1, 1851
when the self-employed first
came under Social Security-and
July l, 1852, is 18 months, or six
quarters. A person with no pre-
Vious coverage needs 18 months
OF it to get a pension.
So a self-employed person could
retire July l, 1852, and get some
pension but would make out bet
ter on the size of his pension if
he waited until after Jan. /, 1853,
TO retire.
Thus the problem of a person
now self-employed with Social
Security credit before Jan. l, 1851,
is q little different from that of
an employe.
That's another reason why a
person now nearing 65 and think
ing of retiring should go over his
individual case with the people at
his nearest Social Security Of
flee. It's one way of being sure
you know what you're doing about
retiring.

Celebrate Shvuos.
Starting Thursday

Beginning Thursday evening at
shutdown the B'nai Zion Congre-
CATION of Key West will start to
celebrate the festival of Shvuos,

ance of the tablets of the ten

Gems OF Thought

JOY
We can do nothing well without
joy, and a good conscience which
is the ground of Joy.
Richard Sibbs.
The heavenly intent of earth's
shadows is to chasten the affec-
tons, to rebuke human consciou-
ness and turn it gladly from a ma
terial, false sense of life and happi-
ness. to spiritual joy and true esti-
mate of being.
Mary Baker Eddy.
Joyfulness is the mother of all
virtue. Goethe.
These things have I spoken unto
you, and that your joy might be
full. Christ Jesus.
ALI who would win JOY, must
share it; happiness was born a
twin. George Byron
To pursue joy is to lose it. The
only way to get it is to follow stead
lily the path of duty. without think
ing of JOY. and then. like sheep, it
comes most surely unsought.
