Explanation
Of Social Security

Some self-employed people still
do not fully understand their rights
and obligations under social securi-
ty, MyrOn MilbOuer, manager of the
Wilmington social security office
declared today.
Because of misunderstanding Mr..
MilbOuer said, many returns are
being filed by persons in the exclu-
ded group of self-employed people.
Certain specified professions such
as doctors, lawyers, dentists, archi-
tects, and professional engineers
are not covered by oId-age and sur
vivOrs insurance. ION the other
hand" the local manager added.
returns are not being filed by
some who are required to do So"
Mr.. MilbOuer explained that some
people do not know the amount of
self-emplOyment income that should
be reported for social security pur-
poses. What actually counts to-
wards Old-age and survivors insur-
ance are the NET earnings (grOss
income less allowable business de-
ductiOn) from a covered trade or
business. The NET earnings must
be at least $40O during the taxable
year and no more than $4,000 for
the year can be credited to a social

Area No. 8, American Red Cross,
met in the Old Bell for the annual
pre-campaign meeting last week.
Howard S. Abbott, chairman for
the area, presided.
Community chairmen were nam
ed Tor each section of the Area. In
Georgetown Mayor Harvey B. Spi-
Ger and Lawrence c. Elliott will
serve as co-chairmen of the fund
raising campaign. Mayor Spicer will
serve in the special cor tributions
section and Mr.. Elliott will be in
charge of the solicitors. Mrs. Mol
, 10y G. Vaughn will be the chairman
for the COolspring area; Mrs. J. P.
George, at HarbesOn; Samuel Sha-
piFO, in Milton; George w. Bryan
will serve at Delaware Colony;
Avery Ellis for the Diamond State
Telephone Co., W. Virden Macklin
for Delaware Power and Light Co.
A chairman will be named for the
Swift and Co. plant, here, and also
a community chairman for Stock
ley.
Frank Horty, Fund Raising
chairman for the state, discussed
the Gamma GlObulin program as
signed to Red Cross by the Nation
al Defense and the National Polio
Foundation and said that Red Cross
in Delaware has been asked to OBJ
tain an extra 5000 pints of blood
for use in making the Gamma Glo-
bulin serum for vaccination against
polio.
Mrs. Jean Myers, executive di-
rector of the Delaware Chapter, re-
viewed the work in the state and
pointed out that Gin spite of gripes
or criticism, and of errors, when
any disaster, large or small, oc-
ours, Red Cross receives immediate
call and answers the cali on the
minute, and termed the Organiza-
tiOn as ready to go into action i'm
mediately with all the necessary !
supplies"
Andrew GorOnowski, Safety Ser
vices Director for the state, praised |
the fine work done by Harold F.
Wilson. Safety Services chairman
in Area No. 8, and cited the large
number of First Aid classes, Home
Nursing classes formed in the area /
and stated that the first class for /
Instructors in First Aid was now
in progress, being held in George
town each Monday night.
VILLAIN PaytOn, vice president !
for the Kent and Sussex Funds
Raising campaign, spoke briefly on /
plans for a successful effort.
Mrs. Olive Sparklin, Home Serv-
ice chairman of the Delaware Chap
ter, told of services to servicemen
and their families during the past
year.
Samuel GersOn, chairman of Spe-
cial Events during the campaign,
gave his impression of the services
offered by Red Cross in disasters,
floods. First Aid, Home Nursing and II
Safety Services.

and secretary for

nership, each partner will include
in his NET earnings his distribu-
tive share of the ordinary net in
come or loss from the partnership
enterprise. II husband and wife Op-
crate a business as a genuine part
nership, each will report his or her
respective share of the business
profits as net earnings, and each
will receive social security credit.
But, if only the husband or only the
wife is the sole owner of the bust
ness, even though the other helps
in the business, then the owner
alone will earn social security
credits.
Another frequent mistake point
ed out by Mr.. MilbOuer, is the in
clusiOn of income not directly con-
nected with the trade or business;
such as dividends and interest from
stocks and bonds, rentals from real
estate (where the self-emplOyed
person is not a real estate dealer)
gains from speculation, ETC.
By the same token, and probably
more serious, he said, is the fail
ure to take into consideration that
certain business expenses must be
deducted before arriving at proper

Installation of the Civilian De-
fense twO-way radio Fire Communi-
cation unit was completed on the
Mack engine of the Georgetown
Volunteer Fire Company last week.
The engine was taken to New Cas-
tie on Monday where the necessary
equipment was installed. The local
company unit is now ready for
operation when the hook-ups are
completed in other companies in
the state and the communications
system is put into operation.
Henry L. Shaw, chairman of the
March of Dimes campaign in
Georgetown, announced recently
that returns in the Georgetown
area total $3,232.31, an all-time
high for the community. He com
mended the fine work done by soil
citOrs and all who cOOperated to
make the final successful result.
A breakdown of contributions

tions from organizations not other

sum of $19.52 carried over from

net earnings for social security pur-
poses.
There are other misunderstand-
ings," Mr.. MilbOuer said, "but the
ones listed are the more FREQUENT
and the ones in which most of the
erOrs take place." He urges all
self-employed persons who have any
questions at all about their stand
ing to get in touch with his office
or the local office of the Bureau of
Internal Revenue. He particularly
emphasized that persons should be
sure to call on either agency when
there is any question as to a trade
or business being covered or what
constitutes met earnings" from a
trade or business.

She told of certain cases which had
been handled in Sussex County

discussed the Blood Donor program
in Sussex County.
/ Harry Zerby, Blood Donor chair
man for Area No. 8, and Meyer
AbIeman, of MillsborO, Chairman
! of Area No. 10, were introduced.
Mr.. Ableman spoke briefly on plans
for his Area, in the coming drive.
IndOmitable courage, the refus-
al to accept a life of uselessness
plus determination to earn a liv-
lihOOd even though handicapped, is
revealed in the story of William T.
Wilson, SO year old victim of arthri-
tis. Totally invalided Is years ago,
he improved until about 8 years
ago when he began using a wheel
chair. Soon after signs of improve
ment, he conceived the idea of con-
structing small articles of furni-
ture to sell as a means of support.
His wife, the former Gertrude Ad-
ans, assists him when necessary
and adds to the family income nv
raising chickens on the small farm
located about 21a miles from
Georgetown.
Prior to being stricken with
arthritis. Mr.. Wilson had been a
carpenter and engaged in farming
and raising poultry. Faced with
the prospect of being unable to re-
sumo a normal occupation, he turn
ed to the only avenue in which he
could use his knowledge of tools.
Using a fitting bench-saw and
band saw, obtained with assistance
of the Rehabilitation Service in the
state, he spends every day in a
small workshop adjoining his
ground-hOOr bedroom, turning out
beautifully precision made articles
of household furniture including a
wide variety of dressers, chests of
drawers, cedar chests, wardrObes,
vanities, beds, desks, lawn furni-
ture and variety of novel articles.
He also fills orders for customers
according to their own needs and
specifications. A telephone in his
work shop keeps him in touch with
dealers from whom he obtains sup
plies and prospective customers.
In a recent interview, Mr.. Will
son said he had had no training in
cabinet making but attributed his
ability as "a gift from God" 10 fill
his waking hours with the creating
and turning out of finished products
designed to last a lifetime and en-
jOyment of the purchases.
When weather permits he spends
some time Out-Of-dOors in his
wheel chair. Interested in hunting
and a good rifle shot, during the
hunting season, he is often assisted

Metropolitan Opera celebrated
its 10th anniversary last night

ernized Faust" same opera
that opened the Met 20 years
ago.
The opera performance was a
success. muSically and produc-
tionwiSe.
The new house arrangement
was a success because it provided
more seats and bigger returns
in the box Office, with seats SELL
ing for up to $50.
And the Metropolitan's long
campaign to turn the opening
night back into a cultural oc-
casion. and to suppress the ex-
hibitioniStS who got out of hand
in some prewar years, appeared
to be succeeding, too.
Observers who had called last
years Met opening unusually
well-behaved found this one
even more so.
Last year a lady appeared in
trousers. This year there was
not even one outlandish cos
tune or undignified perform
ance to mar the tone of the oc-
caSion.
