FIREMEN HAVE
BUSY 5 DAYS
Five Fires in Past Five Days
Keep Volunteers on Run
With Slight Losses
FIRE AT ROTHWELL'S

Five fire alarms in five days
have kept, the local fire fighters on
the run since last Friday. On Mon
day there were two calls, one at IL
o'clock at night to Rothwell's
Granary, on the Smyrna-Clayton
Road, which was potentially very
dangerous. Twenty-seven volun-
teers rode the four pieces of ap-
paratus, and a total of 40-45 men
were there within a few minutes.
The rafters in the roof over two
driers caught fire despite asbestos
covering and considerable damage
resulted. Twelve hours later they
were on their way to fire at the
town dump at Duck Creek, just be-
fore noon on Tuesday, which they
subdued in about an hour despite
high winds. The three previous
fires were at the Mckay farm near
Fleming's Landing, one on Friday,
another on Sunday and again late
Monday afternoon. The fire there
is woods fire burning under
ground, which is an unusual type
of fire in this part of the state, ac-
cording to firemen. Such fires are
more prevalent in Sussex County
and in Florida, firemen stated. The
fire is five to six feet underground
and requires to be dug out; it then
breaks out in another spot after
seeming to have been extinguished.

MAY EARN SIS
WITHOUT LOSS
Social Security Beneficiary
Can Now Earn SIS a Month
Without Losing Benefits
ALLOW $500 A YEAR

Persons receiving old-age and
survivors insurance benefits can
now earn as much as $75 a month
without losing their benefits, ac-
cording to Myron Milbouer, manag-
er of the Delaware Office of the So
cial Security Administration. The
amount of wages a person getting
benefits is permitted to earn in a
month without losing his payment
was raised from $50 to SIS, begin
ming with the month of September.
In case a beneficiary is self-em-
ployed, he can accept his benefit
checks if his net earnings from
self-employment do not average
more than $75 a month, that is,
more than 5000 for his taxable
year. Beneficiaries who work in
employment not covered by the So
cial Security Act, and those who
have reached the age of rs, may
cash their checks regardless of how,
much they earn. Mr.. Milbouer
pointed out that this work clause"
applies not only to the retired
worker, but also to a wife, widow,
child, or parent who is receiving
benefits based on the social secur-
ity account of a retired or deceas-
ed worker. Any beneficiary who
is working for wages should notify
the Social Security Administration
promptly if he earns over SIS in
one month. A self-employed bene-
ficiary should notify the Admins
tration as soon as he sees that his
net earnings are likely to average
more than SIS a month for the tax
able year.
