File SocioI Security
Claims 30 TO so Days
Before Retirement

One of the goals of the Social
Security Administration is to pay
benefits as promptly as possible to
hose persons entitled to them.
To assist in maintaining a reg
ular income into the household
after retirement. the public should
be aware of a policy being stressed
by the Social Security Admins
tration. Luther H. Bolton, District
Manager of the Greenwood Social
Security office, stated today. To
receive benefits promptly after re-
tirement, a worker should file a
claim for his benefits 80 to so DAYS
before retirement if he knows he
will be retiring on a certain date.
This advance filing will give the
Social Security Administration and
the person claiming benefits ample
time to get information and evil
dence necessary to establish en-
titlement before the first check is
due. 1t will also afford a widow
and any children who might be
eligible the opportunity to file for
dependents benefits.
Generally evidence will be re-
quired to prove the age of the re-
tired person and his wife. They
may be a birth or baptismal re-
cord. If there is no such record
available, any record that is old
and reliable may be sufficient. IF
there is a child under Is or a child
of any age who was disabled be-
fore age Is, it will be necessary
to have a birth certificate for
this child.
Evidence of the workers earn
ings in the taxable year before
the date of retirement is also ne
cessary. This proof may be a copy
of the income tax Withholding
statement (FOrm VIZ or q copy
of the income tax return for the
s~elf-employed preson. BY sub
hitting this evidence on the first
visit to the social security office
future contacts may be unnecessary.
The above plan has been highly
endorsed by large employers who
have retirement plans supplement-
ing social security benefits. by la
Dor unions and by other organiza-
tons.
Mr.. Bolton again stressed that
for prompt payment of your first
social security check, Enquire be-
fore you retire"

office is located at Alb Howard St.

The ride is fantastic. But to get it

If easy parking, traffic agility and

then you should seriously consider
the Corvair. But the best thing to do
is to look these two new cars over at

Formers Urged To
Give Labor Needs

JACKSON (Special>-Marx Huff.
Director of the Mississippi Employ
nent Security Commission today
urged all farmers concerned with
harvesting cotton to advise local
Employment Security Offices of
their expected labor needs.
The Employment Service is con-
cerned with avoiding shortages in
off-farm pickers. Huff advised, and
is geared up to help supply labor
to those farmers needing workers.
he added.
Current rains, once they STOP"
HUFF said. may find most OF the
cotton farmers wanting additional
labor all at the same time.
Proper and orderly placement of
orders with the Employment Serv-
ice will assist in meeting any rea-
sonable demands.
We're thankful that Industrial
employment is steadily on the in
crease, but this also often creates
limited shortages in farm labor,
since some industrial workers are
being hired from rural areas"
Huff commented. "By care plan
ming, which has already been set
in motion, so that full utilization
OF all available workers will be
realized, we hope to offset the
drain on our farm labor supply"
Farm workers are usually re-
cruited into group and either go
out to the fields as day haul
workers under a crew leader. or
they may temporarily move once
the cotton in their home areas
has been harvested.
Farm workers will have their
earning season extended by en-
listing in the farm-labor placement
program that has been worked
out by the Employment Security
Commission, Huff added. He uron1

Why two kinds of cars? Because
America itself has been going through
some big changes in the past few
years. Our cities have been straining
at their seams. Traffic is jam-packed.
Parking space is at a premium.
And u suburbs have spread like
wildfire. People are living farther from
their work, driving more miles ON
crowded streets. There is new leisure
time-but more things to do. There's
a new standard of living-and more
need for two cars in the family garage.
In short, Americas automobile
needs have become SO complex that
no one kind of car can satisfy them
completely. That is why we at Chew
rolet, keeping tab on these trends,
have had a revolutionary compact car
in the planning stages for more than
nine years.
Thus, when we decided three years
ago to prepare for production of such
a car we were ready to build it the way
it should be built. There was no need
for q hasty crash" program that
would create only a sawed-off version
of a conventional car.
That is why the two cars you
will see in your dealers showroom
October 2 will be two entirely
different kinds of cars. One is the
conventional go Chevrolet-brand

new spirit under the hood, q new

never before attained by any car in its
field. There is great V8 power linked
with new thrift, plus Chevrolet's
superb 6-cylinder engine. 1t is a
traditional car that comes ever closer
to perfection-in silence, in room, in
ease of control, in velvety ride-than
any other car we have. aver made.
The other is the Corvair, a compact
a that is astonishingly different from
anything ever built in this country.
1t has to be-because this is a si1-
passenger compact car, with a really
remarkable performance a car
designed specifically to American
standards of comfort, to American
traffic needs.
The engine is in the rear. Among
the basic advantages resulting from
this engine location are better traction
on a compact 108-inch wheelbase and
a practically fiat floor. But to be
placed in the rear, the engine had to
be ultra light and ultra short. So
Corvair's engine is totally new
mostly aluminium and ar cooled; it
weighs about 40 per cent less than
conventional engines. It is a fiat"
horizontally opposed six-so it is only
three cylinders long and that
leaves a lot more room for passengers.
Another weight saving: like modern

Giants did more than win the
