Social Security
Agent Will Be In
Sidney March u

Planning for partial retirement
calls for a clear understanding OF
earnings restrictions on receipt OF
federal old-age insurance benefits,
Chester ". Buchanan, representa-
tive of the Billings social security
office said today.
Many older workers do not I'M
derstand, he explained, that in or
der to decide how many benefit
checks may be payable in the tax
able year in which a claim is filed,
all earnings in the full taxable
year are counted.
For every $50 or fraction of $50
over $1,000 earned in the year of
filing a claim, one months bene-
fit is withheld. A worker who
earns S1232 in the year of filing,
for example, stands to lose two
months benefits he may have been
entitled to receive. This is true
whether the amounts were earned
before or after the month of filing.
The restriction on amount of earn
ings applies to all years during any
part of which he was under age
IL and entitled to social security
benefits.
Buchanan said workers planning
partial retirement should also be
aware of the exceptions to the gen.
eral rule. Regardless of total earn
ings in the year, no entitled work.
er will lose a benefit for any
month in which he does not earn
more than $50 in employment and
does not render substantial serv-
ices in a business or profession in
which he Is self-employed. After
he attains age IL he will lose no
benefits regardless of the amount
he earns or the extent of his work.
Total earnings for the full year
are taken into account in
deciding whether the worker may
receive benefits for all months be-
fore he attains age ~.
A free pamphlet entitled "How
Affect Social Security
Benefit Payments" is available on
request.
A social security representative
will be in Sidney at the NYA
building on Wednesday, March 81,
1857, from 8 am. to S pm.

mo, thank youl" That was
the curt but courteous reply of
the condemned Nazi when Prot
estant Chaplain H. F. Gerecke,
standing beside him on the GAL
lows, offered to read to him
from the Bible.
He didn't kick the chaplain in
the shins, nor did he raise a
shout of protest. But with the
severe politeness of a German
officer, he said coldly: Thank
you, no."
mo, thank youl" is the equal
ly courteous reply of some sixty
TO seventy million Americans to
the Church's repeated offers of
spiritual light and guidance.
We can shut the door of heaven
on ourselves just as effectively
by a life of polite mo, thank
you's" as by a life of violent
opposition to religion.
We don't have to throw stones
through church windows to be-
come guilty of opposition to the
Savior. We can become just as
guilty by smothering His Church
with praises while continuing tc
say mo, thank you" to the
salvation which He offers.
Have you been saying nice
things about the Church i
but never attending? Have you
been saying the Bible is a 'gooo
book" good especially fo1
OTHER PEOPLE? Have you beer
repeating all the good things
say about Christ with
out accepting Him as your per-
sonal Savior?
Then you are saying mo,
hank you!" to God and tn,
just as surely and just
Is effectively as did the Nazi
with his cold and proud
No, thank youl"
The only difference is: you
