Number four in series of
Changes in Your Social Security


Changes In Your Social Security
/ spent an enioyoble hour with
q 68-year-old yesterday. He told
me that an increase in his month
lily benefit checks was going TO
mean lot to him and his wife.
/ agreed with him when he OBJ
served that the increase brought
about by the 1854 Amendments
to the Social Security Act would
help the men and women already
getting their monthly payments
as well as those who would be
getting them in the future.
But | knew that there was
something else on his mind, and
was right. He had heard that the
test for earnings without loss of
benefits had been changed. OF
course, he realized that the test
has a purpose. Without it, the
cost of the social security pro-
gram would be greatly increased.
And people who weren't able to
work at all wouldn't be able to
get the higher benefits which
help Nem to meet today's living
for some of the bene-
ficiaries who do have part time
jobs during the holiday seasons,
it is important to know what that
test is and how it will affect
: them," my visitor remarked.
Then he illustrated his comment
by telling me this story.
81 work part-time for the COM
pany by which I was regularly
employed before | was IS. They
call me in when they are rushed
for an order. Last winter they
were behind on their Christmas
orders, and | worked for them
for about three months.
I'm those three months / made
more than SIS a month which a
retired person can earn without
losing a check. This caused me to
lose my rights to my checks for
three whole months"
Il din't think that this earning
test was quite fair when | learned
that my brother could have net
income up to 5000 in a year when
he works for himself and not lose
any of his retirement benefits. In
addition, he could have earnings
of as much as 5000 a year in COW
cred employment. Tell me, does
the new law change that in any
Way?"
| was quick to assure my elder
ly friend that under the new law,
his brother would total his net
self-employment and employment
income over the year. And the
68-year-old gentleman would
have the same yearly earning
test as his brother. The test has
been made the same for both the
employed and the self-emyloyed |
beneficiary. Under the new test
no one will lose a months bene-
fits for each month in which he
earns above a specified amount. |
Beneficiaries who are wage earn
ers are now permitted 10 add
their wages over the year in the

or fraction of $50. For example
he will lose two checks when he
makes as much as 81 ,291 in year.
But under the new law, he will
lose no check for any month in
which he neither earned more
than $50 as an employed person
rendered substantial services as
self-employed person.
My 68-year-old friend asked
me if the new earnings test ap-
piled only to jobs covered by So
cial security as it had under the
old law. | told him that the law
has been changed on that point.
But l thought that it was a
good time to tell him that the
law had changed the age when
the earnings test was no longer
effective. The new amendment
has a provision which places no
test on the amount of PERSONS
earnings when he is 72 or over,
no matter what job he has. Under
the old law, this age was rs.
There are other advantages for
partially retired people under the
new law. I'm going to explain
them in one of my later articles.
The gentleman promised to read
the other provisions which might
affect him. He had other ques-
tions for me before he hurried
home to tell his wife about the
new law and how it would affect
them. when does this earnings
test become effective?"
1T will be applied to your
earnings beginning january l,
1885," 1 answered.
Were going to circle those
dates on our calendar Oct
ober, when l get my first in
creased benefit check, and Jan
uary /, 1855, when the new earn
ings test will apply to me-" He
was smiling when he walked out
of the office, and that smile is
one of the gratifying parts of my
job as your social security rep
resentative.-Ro B. Youmans,
Manager of the local security of |

FULDA SCHOOL

Fulda is a town
That is known this wide world
round.
1t isn't just the name,
But It's noted for its fame.
We have church that's swell
Where people GO to pray
To find their way to Heaven
Forever more to stay.
We also have a school
That's really hard to beat.
The teachers are the very best
And dressed SO very neat.
We also have Hot Lunch"
The best of eats by far;
Just ask the Janitor;
He finds the cookie jar.
The winds we're having here
Sure are blowing like the
devil:
We're 1900 feet above sea
level.
We have no doctor in our
town,
They say it doesn't pay
With those strong winds we
have.
They blow all germs away.
If you want to see our Fulda
town,
You're welcome; if you will,
Just come and see the janitor
At the school house on the
hill.

LABOR VIEWS


Brother Henry Boysen. Brother
Boysen had retired on our Pension
Plan after many years Of service
with Standard Products Company.
We knew him to be a devoted
union member and Custodian of
our Local 497 Hall.
/ The death of Henry Boysen
leaves the Custodianship of our
Local 497 Hall in the capable
hands of his bereaved widow,
Emma. Many members of Local
497 have memories of the kind
deeds the Boysens have done for
this local and its members. 1t was
through them that Local 497 was
able to purchase the property on
which our hall was built. 1t was
Mrs. Emma Boysen who spent tir-
ing hours serving food to Local
497 members who were on strike
back in 1916
Little wonder that our members
are saddened by Hcnry's death and
that their sympathy goes out to
Emma in her grief.

The important thing isn't what
happens to you, but your attitude
toward it. Not the situation, but
how you react to it.
K V p Philosopher
In SanduSky last Friday evening
We had the opportunity to meet
Senator Thomas A. Burke, Demo
cratic candidate for election to
United States Senator, the office
he now holds by appointment. Dur
ing our brief talk together Mr..
Burke made the favorable impress
sion of being sincere and devoted
to carrying out the wishes of the
people. But then we had already
checked his qualifications and
political record so it wasn't a bit
surprising to find that Mr. Burke
appears as capable, fair-minded
and trustworthy as his records
prove. His campaign is doWn-to-
earth, yet dignified - certainly
NOT the transforming, bell-ring-

STEVE J. NOVAK, PRES.


It's no secret that Throughout
this country large employers are
stepping up their drives to pres
sure state legislatures into pass
ing legislation that would destroy
labor Unions.
The giants of industry believe
the atmosphere" at the present
time is ripe for them to get in
their anti-labOr licks. They are
trotting out some of their secret
desires under such slicked-up slo-
gans as a ''right-to-work law"
Sounds nice? Sounds very
American and inspiring doesn't it?
But no more vicious class-legisla-
tion has been wrapped up in such
an innocent looking package!
In some states the State Chamber
of Commerce is conducting state
wide campaigns for such a right
towOrk" law and is soliciting con
tributions from the public through
newspaper ads to help finance the
drive.
Here is what the st. Louis Reg
lister stated about the Chambers
campaign in front page editorial
last week.
The real aim Of this cam
paign, although it pretends to be
interested in protecting the in
dividltal worker, is to destroy
unions by making them ineffcc-
tive.
by outlawing all forms of the
union shop, employers are free
to hire as many non-union work
ers as they please and to lower
wages and working conditions
accordingly"
The editorial also pointed out
that workers have a natural right
to organize" and to maintain the
kind of organization that is neceS-
sary and most effective in securing
their welfare"
Under the 'RIGHT-TO-WORK
LAWS" what they really are after
is the right to work" their en-
ployees at LOWER WAGES for
LONGER HOURS, with LESS VA
CATION and LESS HEALTH AND
LIFE INSURANCE! No, thank you!

JUBILEE OF
LIGHT MARKED
BY EDISON CO.

Lights Diamond Juilee, the
electric industry's year-long
celebration of its 18th birth
day, reaches it's climax this
month as the Jubilee date,
October 21, approaches.
Because of the significance of
the date, Ohio Edison Company
has set the evening of October 81
for the public dedication of its
new S35, 100000 Niles power plant
at Niles, Ohio.
The dedication will be held at
7;30 in the evening, followed by
an open house at the modern 212,-
000kilowatt power plant The
plant will also be open to the pub
lie on Friday and Saturday, Octob-
er % and %, from until 10 pm,
and en- Sunday from until 6 pm
The occasion that the Jubilee
of Light commentaries is Thomas
A. Edison's invention cf the first
practical incandescent lamp.
After he had proved the practi-
cability of his lamp, Edison set
about developing a system to
power it. There were no skilled
electrical Workers-so he started
training school and wrote the
textbooks. There we're no electri-
cal manufacturers - so Edison
formed new companies to supply
needed parts. Fuses, sockets, even
friction tape had to be invented
and produced as the need arose.
Finally in 1882, three years after
his successful lamp, he opened
his first generating plant on Pearl
Street in New York City. Six
dvnamos were turned on, and
electricity flowed out over his
electrical system to 50 customers.
There were 400 lamps on his lines.
Visitors to the Edison Com
pany'S Niles open house will see
the progress that has been made
in the art of generating lectricity.
There, two giant generating units
can turn out all the electrical
needs of city of 10000 peopel.
In keeping with the historical
anniversary, the Niles plant will
be formally dedicated by a retired
employee Of Ohio Edison Com
pany who was born at about the
time Edison invented his lamp.
Climax of the nationwide cele-
bration of the Jubilee will be a
two-hour television program on
all four major television networks
on Sunday night, October "a. The
slow will be seen from 8 to II

People are living longer and
longer and remaining youthful
for years longer than they used
to. Life expectancy has been
increased 20 years in the past SO.
Not long ago q woman was actu-
ally considered old at 40 while
she is not even thought Of as
middle aged today at that age.
This is wonderful but ii poses
some problems. It was always
too bad to retire men at so or
IS when they were at the peak
of their usefulness and In good
health, and the age restrictions
in the classified advertisements
have always been absolutely
ridiculous.
| But in the light of today's we'll
cared-for woman or man Of 40,
so, so and even 70. this situation
is laughable. Business and the
professions are beginning to take
notice of this and to act.
know Of two banks myself
which are now employing older
women, even on a part-time
basis when they, have home
duties which make full time inn
possible. In many territories
practical nursing has taken OF
! the age ban. Henry Ford was a
pioneer in employing the older
