What Farmers Must Do In January
On Social Security Tax Laws

Many operators of farms and
ranches have a social security re-
sponsibility to meet for the first
time in January. These are en-
ployers of farm or ranch labor
who heretofore have not been re-
uuired TO report wages paid to
hired help or pay social security
taxes on those wages because their
employees did not meet the regui-
arity-of-work test which applied to
farm labor before 1855.
The 1854 changes in the social
security law did away with that
test and substituted another one
whereby the work of most farm
and ranch employees started to
count toward old-age and survlv-
ors insurance protection beginning
with January /, 1855. Any farm or
ranch operator who paid 500 or
more cash wages to an agricultur-
al employee in 1855 is required to
report all cash wages paid the en-
ployee up to $4,000 in the year and
pay the social security tax jon or
before January 81. 1856.
The social security tax ON agri-
cultural employees wages is 4
percent. IF self-employed farmer
or rancher had more more than
one agricultural employee in 1865
the 800 cash wages test applies
separately to each of them. The
law provides for the employers
sharing of the social security tas
with his employee. He may have
taken the employees share q per.

Tragic Holiday Death Toll
Nav Establish New Record
Ohio Among Top
10 With SO Dead

The nations holiday death toll
mounted in what the National SAT-
ETY. Council said was sure to be
the worst ever recorded for a like
period in the terrible history of
holidays turned to tragic death
days.
BY late Monday evening, news
sources said 553 traffic deaths had
occurred on the nations highways
in addition to 62 deaths in fires
and IS deaths in other types of ac-
cidents. The tabulation began at
6 pm. on Friday night and COW
cred the period until midnight
Monday, a total of 78 hours. The
traffic rate was reported as rum
ming about seven per hour, with
the final hours of the record yet
to be reported.
In Madison County, the State
Highway Patrol post at London
reported no accidents during the
period. The Sheriff's office report
ed only one accident, which occur
red on State Route 38 below Sc
dalia, when an auto driven by HUI
bert Gray of Cleveland. ran off
the road and crashed. Mrs. Wan
ell Gray and their son. Gary aged
seven, were injured. The two were
treated at a local doctors office
and released. The sheriff said the
car was demolished. London City
Police reported no accidents and
the West jefferson police report
eded that they did not even have
a fender bender" in their area.
AS usual, Ohio was among the
leaders with total of 38 traffic
deaths reported by the Associated
Press, with five deaths from other
causes. The AP reported that Tex
as led with 80 dead, California
second with 46.
Thus the nations drivers ac-
counted for themselves during
Christmas, which is described by
the National Safety Council as
''the most dangerous period fol
automobile deaths in the year"
Local drivers are to be compli-
mented on their records, and are
urged to be just as careful if moi
more so during the next three-day
holiday period this weekend.
