Twin Beef Calves Wanted
For USDA Research

Scientists with the u. S. Depart
ment of Agriculture are on the
market for pairs of identicaI-twin
beef calves, according to George
Vapaa, Kent County agricultural
agent
The animals must be less than
five months old and available
within 200 miles of Washington.
ID. G. They can be heifers, steers,
or bullss but only purebred or
grade animals of good beef type
are acceptable. The calves are
needed for experimental work on
beef cattle nutrition at USDA's Ag-
ricultural Research Center at Belts
vile, Md.
The department will buy the
calves on an offer-and-accepta
basis, depending on their suitabili-
ty and the price asked by the own
er. During the past seven years, re-
searchers at Beltsville have used
43 pairs of identical-twin calves
to obtain new information on beef
cattle nutrition. The researchers
are seeking additional sets of twins
for further studies to begin this
spring.
Anyone knowing of Identical
twin beef calves near Washington
should write to the Animal Hus-
bandry Research Division, U. S.
Department of Agriculture, Belts
vile, Md.

Social Security News

Planning for partial retirement
calls for clear understanding of
earnings restrictions on receipt of
Federal old-age insurance benefits,
Myron Milbouer, manager of the
Wilmington social security Office,
said today.
Many older workers do not un-
derstand. he explained, that in or
der to decide how many benefit
checks may be payable in the year
in which a claim is filed all earn
ings in the full year are counted.
For every $50 or fraction of $50
over 81 200 earned in the year of
filing a claim, one months benefit
is withheld. A person who earns
$1,2S2 in the year of filing, for ex-
ample, stands to lose two months
benefits he otherwise might have
been entitled to receive. This is so
whether the amounts were earned
before or after the month of filing.
The restriction on the amount of
earnings applies to all years dur
ing any part of which he was under
age 72 and entitled to social secur-
ity benefits.
Milbouer stated that persons
planning partial retirment should
also be aware of the exceptions 10
the general rule. Regardless of to-
tai earnings in the year. no bene-
ticiary will lose a benefit for any
month in which he doesn't earn
more than $50 in employment and
doesn't render substantial services
In business or profession in which
he is self-employed After he be-
comes 72 he will lose no benefits,
no matter how much he earns. To-
tai earnings for the full year. how
ever, are taken into account in de-
Gliding whether a person may re-
ceive benfits for all months before
he attains age 70.
A free pamphlet entitled How
Earnings Affect Social Security
7enefit Payments" is available on
request from the Wilmington social
recuritv Office. at 504 w. 10th st.
