CLERGYMEN TO
GET BENEFITS
New Amendment Will Pro-
vide Family Social Secur-
ity Coverage
MAY FILE WAIVERS

clergymen who have failed to
elect social security coverage as
self-employed persons now have
another chance to secure old-age,
survivors, and disability insurance
protection for themselves and
their families, Myron Milbouer,
manager of the Wilmington So
cial security Office declared this
week.
An amendment to the Internal
Revenue Code gives them, in gen.
eral. from August 81, 1857 through
April Is, 1859 to elect social Sc
curity coverage, he said. Minis
ters who file waiver certificates
during this extended period will
be mandatorily covered for 1856
and for all subsequent years in
which they have net earnings
from self-employment of $500 or
more. including earnings from the
practice of their ministry.
In addition, Milbouer points out,
a minister who filed a waiver af-
ter April IS, 1857 and before Aug
ust 81, which was valid for 1857
but too late to get coverage for
1856. may still get coverage for
1855 by filing a supplemental
waiver.
The law now provides that min
listers will include as net earnings
for social security purposes, "a
the rental value of a parsonage
or rental allowance furnished
them as part of their compensa-
ton and (2) the value of meals
and lodging furnished them for
the convenience of their employer.
This change in the law applies
only to the amount of a minis
ter's earnings which are covered
by social security; it does not af-
feet his liability for income tax.
This provision is effective for tax
able years ending on or after De-
cember 81, 1857.
Through misunderstanding, Mil
bouer says, some non-proft
church-related organizations err

tain ordained ministers perform
ing teaching or administrative
duties, and paid the employer and
employee social security taxes.
The amended law provides that
the remuneration reported as paid
to these ministers in 1855 and
1856 shall be treated as if cor
rectly reported and not as net
earnings from self-employment, to
the extent that the employer tax
or employee tax was not credited
or refunded before August 81,

Grub Control In
Your Lawn

There are at least three common
beetles that cause serious lawn in
jury in Delaware, according to
county agricultural agent George
Vapaa.
The three are the japanese. May
and Asiatic garden beetles. The
damage is done where you cannot
quickly detect it until it is too late
i. under the ground. The beetles
eat the roots, and when heavy in
festations occur, the sod is COM
pletely separated from the soil.
Mr.. Vapaa says right now is a
good time to treat your lawn for
beetles. The new beetle generation
is now developing in areas that
have had beetle populations before.
Fall applications of insecticides
will be washed into the soil by
rains and will control the beetle
problem for from three to five
years.
Some of the insecticides which
will do the job for you are aldrin,
chlordane, DDT, dieldrin and hep
tachlor.
For application instructions, fcl-
low directions on the container, he
concludes.
