Social Security
Payments Issued

"AR application for Old-age and
survivors insurance benefits must
be filed before payments can be-
gin," is the advice given by Ny
ron Milbouer; district manager Of
the Wilmington social security
Office.
One of the basic requirements
that must be met before benefits
can be paid to a retired worker is
that he must contact the nearest
social security Office and file an
application for them. The same
requirement must be met before
survivors beenfits can be paid to
a deceased workers family after
his death.
1T is very important for the
worker and his family to under
stand this requirement so that
checks can be started promptly and
SO that no loss Of payments will
result, Mr.. MilboueT said.
The three statements which fol-
low are important to every worker
and to every member Of his family:
/. The worker who is between
65 and 70 years old should file bis
application at the nearest social
security Office at the earliest op-
portunity after he retires from
work.
2. A worker at the age Of 70 need
not retire to be eligible for pay
ments. Payments may be made to
an insured worker at the age Of
72 regardless Of his earnings. The
worker still employed at the age
of 70 should file his application at
the earliest opportunity after he
attains that age.
8. After the death Of a person
whose work was covered BY social
security. some member Of his fami-
II should inquire promptly at the
nearest social security Office "a
learn what survivors insurance
benefits may be paid
Complete information regarding
s0ciaI security payments can Be
oht.ined by contacting the VIII
uaington Office at SIS West Street
The telephone number is 4-7776.

am sure, is proud Of you"
On November 19, Wallace, driy-
ing his tractor-trailer east on the
turnpike, saw a wesCbound pass
enger car skid and crash into an
Overpass abutment near McCon-
nelsburg, Pa.
After parking his truck, Wallace
ran to the scene and started to ex-
tricate a man pinned behind the
wheel of the car. Then he heard a
moan from the roadside and, going
around the car, was just in time to
see a woman, who had been thrown
clear Of the wreck, sliding head
first down an embanknent.
He inched down the slope and
caught her in time to prevent her
sliding over a concrete apron to a
roadway 18-feet below But, be-
cause of his position, he was un-
able to find footing enough to haul
her up singlehandedly
CrOuched on the embankment,
Wallace was all but out Of sight
Of the turnpike, although he could
still raise his head above the level
ct the roadway.
He stayed in that position for an
estimated hour and a half, shout
ing himself hOarse at passing mo-
tOrists. 1t is unlikely that they
could have heard him and it is
possible, he says, that in the fall
ing snow they could have mistaken
OF ~ Icg1lr "
for a parked vehicle, although it
was daylight and an injured man
was slumped behind the wheel.
When he began to tire, Wallace
managed to hook a leg around an
iron stake in the embankment, thus
giving him an anchor and prevent
ing the weight of the woman from
pulling him down the slope to-
wards the drop.
He admits that he could not have
held out much longer, when finally
two men stopped to investigate the
wreck. They got a blanket and,
squatting down on either side of
Wallace, slipped it under the wo-
man. Then the three men hoisted
her to the roadway.
The men, whom Wallace never
had a chance to identify, also help
ed remove the injured driver from
behind the wheel Of the wreck.
By this time another mOtorist
had stopped and was sent on for
an ambulance. Wallace helped put
the injured into the ambulance and
was still at the scene when a state
trooper arrived to investigate.
The latter said that Wallace's
action probably had saved the wo-
mans life.
At last report, both victims, Mr.
and Mrs. Adolph Petkewich, OF
Philadelphia, were still hospitalizeC
with multiple injuries. A letter tC
Anchor Motor Freight from theil
son in Philadelphia cOmmends Wal
lace's action and congratulates the
company on having "such a fine
man in your employ.
I The wrist watch which was pre-
sented yesterday to Mr.. Wallace
was engraved: "Glenn B. Wallace
for heroic action, presented by
DNTA, 1855"
In his 13 years Of commercial,
truck driving, Wallace has cover.
ed over million miles, In thai
time he had two interchangeable
accidents, one of which occurred
since joining Anchor Motor Freighf
last August. In those six months
he has Travelled $4,000 miles.

What Farm Employers
Must Do In January
by Myron Milbouer

by Myron Milbouer
District Manager Of the Whining
ton, Delaware Social Security Dis
trict Office.
Many operators Of farms have a
social security responsibility to
meet for the first time in January.
These are employers of farm Ia
Dor who before this were not re-
quired to report wages paid to
hired help or pay social security
taxes on those wages because their
employees did not meet the regu-
larity-of-work test which applied
to farm labor before 1856.
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 sur
vivors insurance protection be
ginning with January i, 1885. Any
.k.rm or ranch operator who paid
500 or more cash wages to an
agricultural employee in 1856 is
required to report all cash wages
paid the employee up to $4,000 in
the year and pay the social secur-
ity tax on or before January 81,
1856.
The social security tax on agri-
cultural employees wages is 4 per
cent. If a self-employed farmer or
rancher had more than one agri-
cultural employee in 1855, the 500
cash wages test applies separate
ly to each of them. The law pro-
vides for the employer sharing Of
the social security tax with his
employee. He may have taken the
employers share q per cent? out
of his wages each time he paid
him during 1855. Or, he may have
waited until the cash wages paid
TO the employee totalled $10D. Or
he may have failed to deduct any
amount at all from his cash wages.
IN any event, the social security
tax must be paid. This is the farm
or ranch operators responsibility
anI he must meet it on or before
] the last day in January.
For reporting wages paid to
farm employees and paying the
social security tax. farm operators
should use Form 943, Employers
] Tx and Information Return for
Agricultural Employees If you
are such an operator. and a copy
Of this form has not been mailed TO
YOU, or you have lost it, you can or
tain a form from any Internal
Revenue Service district Office.
IN nv next article. I shall de-
scribe Form 943 rnd explain the
entries that mnst Be made on this
form by everv farm or ranch oper-
at0r who paid wages taxable for
social security purposes in 1855.
