CHANGES IN YOUR SOCIAL SECURITY
By Stanley It. FduhI
fAandger of the Lima Social Security Office

In my last article I told of Self-em-
ployed lawyers, dentists, and other
professional people now covered by
social security. Under the 1856
amendments to the law, their earn
ings started to count towards old-age
and survivors insurance protection
for themselves and their families as
of January 1, 1856. Naturally, they
want to know how long it will take
them to become insured under the
law.
To become insured under social Sc
curlty a person must have been in
work covered by the law for speci-
fed length of time. The amount of
work required is measured in quar-
terS of coverage" which, in general
way, corresponds with calendar
quarter of work. A self-employed
person gets four quarters of cover
age for a year in which he has $400
or more in net earnings from self
employment. The usual requirements
for becoming insured are one quar-
ter of coverage out of every two cal
endar quarters elapsing after 1850,
provided there are at least six quar-
terS of coverage. Under the amended
law, person who works continuous
ly after 1855 can become insured
with fewer quarters of coverage.
This change in the law permits self
employed professionals and others
brought under social security as of
the beginning of this year to disre-
gard their years of non-coverage in
acquiring an insured status under so
cial security.
For example, DR.. Jones, self
employed dentist, is now age 63. He
had never been in work covered by
social security before January l.,
1856. DR.. Jones will reach 65 in 1858
two years after his self-employ-
ment first became covered under the
amended law If his birthday is be-
fore April first, he will need to have
quarter of coverage in each of the
eight quarters elapsinng after 1883
and up to the quarter in which he
reaches 65. If all these quarters are
quarters of coverage, he will be in
sured for old-age benefits if he elects
tO retire at that time
If DR.. Jones' birthday occurs in the
second calendar quarter of the year,
he will need nine quarters Of cover
age before then; if he reaches 65 in
the third quarter of 1858, he will need
10 quarters of coverage before that
time. If his birthday is after the end
of September, IL quarters of cover
age up to that time will be required.
For death benefit purposes, how
ever, DIR. Jones would be insured as
early as April 1857 if all six of the

Pitcher Ode Printz of Colonial,
a 25-year sandlot veteran. has
decided to call it quits and this
time he intends to make it stick.
The 44-year-old Printz decided
to wait until hot weather before
trying out his old soupbone. He
did a creditable job when used
a few times last month and had
a IL record in the Industrial
League.
Recurrent trouble with his
right elbow, caused by bone
chips, made up Prints mind. His
doctor informed him that con-
tinual throwing could bring on
a permanent injury. printz had
difficulty Strengthening out his
arm after a game because of the
stiffness.
To get back to Murphy and

! Playoffs last year were held at

Forestville. These two fields have
been found wanting for one
reason or another. At the recent
all-star game at Forestville ad-
mission was by ticket, but there
was strong suspicion that a
goodly portion of the crowd of
some 300 filtered in without pay

With no fence, that's under

the Alexandria field is far
superior to anything the teams

By BOB HANSON

How a team can go unbeaten
in one league and struggle for
victories in another may seem
puzzling. but Manager Joe Muir
ply OF Colonial Restaurant has
simple explanation.
Colonial has a 90 record in
the Sunday Old Dominion League

days. Colonial finished first half
play in second place with a So
mark. It's record to date in the
second half is 2-5 and last place

pitching and the caliber of
the two leagues make the differ
ence," Murphy said. The Old
Dominion simply isn't as fast a
league as the Industrial. There
are only four teams, including us
that figure to make the playoffs
in the Old Dominion.
I'm the Industrial. competition
is much tougher. The players are
under more of a strain. probably
try harder" Murphy added
Also. a pitcher working against
some of the teams in the Old
Dominion faces batters of high
school level whereas in the In
dustrial a great many of them
are ex-minor leaguers."
Il
A look at some of the compar-
able records of the two leagues
bear out Murphy's reasoning.
OF the nine games won by
Colonial. defending champion in
the Old Dominion. Bob Giddens
and Charley Hidden each have
three. Guy Brill is 20. The
other victory belongs to Everett
McCray. no longer with the club
Pitching in the Industrial is

plays for the Union Printers. is
3-3. Hiden and Brill, with Colo
NAL. are 10 and IL respectively
The hitting also shows a
marked difference. AS of last
week, Colonial had three batters
in the first 10 in the Old Domi-
Mon circuit. Red Vernon had a
458 average, good for fourth
place. Perry Currin was sixth
with .424 and Bill Jeffries 10th
at .345
Two of these made the top 10
in the Industrial. Currin in
