SOCIAL SECURITY
By ANNA X. RANKIN,
Field Representative

At this time it seems fitting to
review some of the highlights of
the social security law, so you
can better understand the bene-
fits which may be due you.
Social security was designed
primarily to afford some protec-
ton against the loss of income by
retirement, death, or disability. In
every case, before benefits can be
paid, the person must have to his
credit certain amount of en-
ployment covered by social secur-
ity. The amount he needs depends
upon when the worker reaches re-
tirement age, dies, or becomes dis
abled. So you see, this coverage
will vary.
If a retired worker has suffi-
cient work to his credit he may be
eligible for old-age insurance ben
efits. And his wife, age 62 or over,
may be eligible for payments on
his record; his children under age
Is, or disabled children over age
IS (if they were disabled before
reaching age 1877. If his wife is
under 81 she may receive benefits
anyway, if she has in her care
minor children eligible for pay
ments.
If an insured worker dies, the
following survivors may be eligi-
BILE for monthly payments; his
widow, 62 years of age or older;
children under age 10; disabled
children Is or over (if they were
disabled before reaching age
18); aged dependent parents. For
parent to be considered depend
ent, he or she must have been re-
ceiving at least one-half his or her
support from the wage Garner at
the time of death. The dependent
father must be at least age 65,
and the dependent mother must be
at last age 26. Also, if an insured
worker dies, lump-sum payment
may be paid. This payment goes
to the widow or widower, if living
with the wage Garner when he or
she died. If there is no widow or
widower, the lump-sum may be
paid to the person or persons pay
ing the burial expenses.
If a worker, age SO or over,
qualities for disability insurance
benefits, his dependents may now
be eligible for payments. These
dependents include his wife, 62 or
over, or a wife any age, if
she has in her care minor children
eligible for payments; children UNI
der 10, or disabled children over
age 1S if the disability occurred
before the child became age 10.
Please remember that no social
security payment is made auto
matically, and formal application
must be filed with the Social Sc
curirty Administration in every
case for any type of benefit. If
these provisions apply to any of
you, please be sure to contact
your Social Security representa-

of the law.
Think of that, then, girls, before
you laugh at the women who put on
boomers and paraded to publicize
their cause. Not many women as
pire to be President, or even to go
to Congress, but every woman
should make it her business to play
her part as a voting citizen and
safeguard the rights so hardly
won.
There are some, of course, who
take undue advantage of those
rights. What a contrast between
the woman who is awarded fab
ulous sum in alimony, whether she
needs it or not, and the Moslem
woman who is turned out of her
home without a cent. Today the
Moslem women are beginning, fig
uratively, to crawl out of the base
ment. More power to them!

OF
TIL E P AST
By CAROLYN LLOYD

An interesting sidelight or
Beaufort County history was re.
Gently recalled by Mrs. H. L. Har
vey during a discussion of the pro-
posed restoration of the Marsh
House in Bath. Mrs. Harvey was
present when the last Woman's
Suffrage debate in the county was
held in the Marsh House approx
mateiy forty-four years ago. The
room was so crowded that women
were seated in each others laps.
The debate was going strong when
suddenly, the floor gave way; and
down went the ladies, one on top
of the other, into the basement.
Miraculously, a piano standing in
a corner stayed in place, and no
one was badly hurt, but the ensu-
ing noise was something to hear.
Mrs. Harvey was one of the lucky
ones who did not go down so she
was treated to the sight of all those
women, covered with green slime
from the basement and clutching
their hats, crawling from under
the debris.
1t is not clear whether the acct
dent was responsible for the end
of the debates or whether that was
the last because the battle was
won; but it is safe guess that, at
that moment, the Suffragettes
were far less interested in their
political rights than in the state of
their finery. There is no record of
the reaction of the men of the COM
munity, but it is reasonably GER
tain that they had good laugh
and never let their wives forget
the incident.
We women take our rights so
much for granted that it is hard to
realize that they are of such re-
cent origin. The question arises
of how much the modern woman
appreciates the work those early
Suffragettes who braved the jeers
and laughter of men and many of
their own sex to demand not only
the vote but other equal rights I'M
der the law, as well. Not all of
those women were the Ratchet
faced old battle axes pictured in
the cartoons of the day, but they
did have to be stout of heart.
While many American women
are taking their emancipated state
for granted, women in other parts
of the world are fighting to free
themselves from oppression. Until
last week, Moslem women in AL
geria had no rights under the law.
Parents could marry off twelve
year old girls, often to men they
had never seen. A husband could
divorce his wife simply by saying
81 divorce you" three times OF
tearing up the marriage papers.
He could take the children if he
wanted to and cut the wife off with
no means of support. One Moslen
sect is still exempt from the new
French laws, and in many othel
Moslem countries women are still
! nc more than animals in the eye
