Social Securify
Change Allows
Bigger Income
By ERNEST F. FITZPATRICK
Manager of the Wilmington.
NC, Social Security Offfce)

NHia"a6er Oh the wilmington,
NC, Social Security Office
A change in the social security
law effective with 1859 permits
payment to beneficiary for any
month in which he does not earn
wages in excess of 500 accord
ing to Ernest F. Fitzpatrick.
Manager Of the Wilmington soc
ial security office. Payments for
such months may be made re-
gardless of total wages earned
for the year.
This provision does not apply
to the beneficiary whose earn
ingS are derived entirely from
the operation of a trade or bust
ness, since his earnings cannot
be determined on monthly
basis. However. according 10 Mr..
Fitzpatrick. n beneficiary who is
self-employed may receive benc-
fits for any month in which he
is not active in his trade or busi-
ness. OF course. IL the benefi-
ciary's earnings from wages or
self-employmcnt income or a
combination of both does not eX-
ceed $1,000, he may receive bcnc-
fit payments for all months oF
the year. Those bcncficiaricS who
work throughout the year and
whose earnings are in excess Of
$1,000 in the year may receive
one or more monthly payments
if their total earnings do not cN-
coed S2080. In the case of earn
ingS in excess of $1,000 one
months benefit is not PAYABLE
for each $50 or fraction of $50
by which the total earnings ex-
cced $1,000. For example. II the
beneficiary's total earnings 70"
the year are S1280, he will lose
one months benefit. If his earn
ings are over Sl280. but not
more than 1880. he will lose
two months benefits.
A beneficiary who is ~ years
of age or over may receive bene-
fit payments of his earnings

Everywhere. He wanted to see
his lamp burning in hamlets and
farms and great cities all over
the world. So while he and his
staff experircnted with incanA
descent light, they also worked
on the many parts of a system to
distribute electricity.
An inventor named Thomas
Davenport had developed a
practical electric motor in 1897.
Several men were manufactur-
ing generators that could make
electricity from steam power.
Wires had already been strung
across the nation by the tele-
graph companies. Arc lights
Were lighting the streets of sew

ton was known. But no one had
combined these many electrical
parts into a single efficient DOW
er system.
This Thomas Edison did.

J, were existing mechanical de
vices with electric motors O.
heating units added to them.
Mans inventiveness, teamet
with electricity, produced the
many electrical servants which
are now familiar to nearly every
home. The first electric sewing
machine appeared in the late
1905. The first electric dish
washer was marketed around
1910, and the electric range and
vacuum cleaner were introduced
about the same time. The frs,
electric refrigerator was INSTALL
ed about 1918.
Year after year, new uses for
electricity in the home were
found and new appliances ap-
pearcd on the market. And year
after year, old appliances were
improved until they reached to-
days cleaning perfection.
But the real story of electri-
cal progress is one of continual
striving for even greater deve-
lopment
From the first central power
station, supplying current fol
5000 electric lights, have grown
the great power networks that
now serve our nation.
Six Edison generators were
required to supply the electric
current for those first 5000
lamps. Today, a single general
or can supply all the power de-
mands of a Sizeable city.
Electricity created entire new
industries employing millions of
people. Our great chemicals,
plaSticS, and metals industries
rely heavily on electric power.
Electricity gave us many new
products and made possible the
mass production tcchniqucs
which reSparked the industrial
revolution.
And il resulted in today.
vast electrical manufacturing
and utility industries which in
themselves provide millions OF
Jobs
Almost every home in the
land has electric light.
All but two percent of ouI
homes have radios.
Over three-quartcrS of the
homes in America have electric
irons. rcfrigeratorS. clocks and
clothes washers. And more than
half of them have tclcvisior
sets.

IN fact, il has given us the
highest standard of living ever
enjoyed by our people in hist
ory. We produce nearly half OF
all the electricity in the world
and this helps American indust-
ry produce more goods to be
enjoyed by more people than

doomed to failure. Yotng Edi-
son disagreed and stakeed his
professional reputation ON his
belief that he would succeed.
Early in his experiments with
the incandescent lamp he real
lied the undertaking was toe
large for one mans financial re-
sources. He turned to a group of
New York business men fol
more capital. Despite the scient-
is's' gloomy predictions, and
solely on the strength of Edi-
sons professional reputation
these business men backed him
with 100000. Before his first
central power station went into
operation this investment had
grown TO more than half a mil
ion dollars.
So, through the genius of
Thomas Edison, and with the
help % these business men. the
world received the benefits OF
the incandescent lamp and ent-
cred the electrical era.
On September 4, 1882, the
first central power station to
supply the public with electri-
city went into operation on
Pearl Street in New York City.
But the problem of commerce.
al development of electric pow
er was clearly beyond the capa-
bility of any one company. Edi-
son therefore licensed others to
Use his system. BY 1887, there
were 80 Ediyon-licensed COM
panies in operation.
Soon there We're many small
electric companies in different
parts of the nation, working

vests more years in the develop

work than any other professional
man except the medical doctor.
He is sought after by business,

cies at salaries considerably above

Supporting his argument with
examples from his own experience
at the University of Delaware, DR..
Perkins notes that one woman
graduate III Lu6 1908 CLASS was
given beginning salary approx
mately that of the average Della
ware faculty member with doc

Delaware's chemistry department

than those offered to the doctoral
graduates they are producing.
"Niggardly pay for the college
teacher, in view of his ability and
training, forces him to take job
elsewhere, DR.. Perkins says.
ut also discourages young peO-
pie of high ability from even be-
ginning an academic career. 1t
causes the most important well
spring of our economy to dry up.
In the nation as whole faculty
salaries must move to an entirely
new level. Women's organizations

reers had best put their energies
to bringing about wide citizen
understanding of this vital neces-
sity for higher salaries" President

The Real Meaning of Christmas
There is a better thing than the
observance of Christmas Day, and
that is Keeping Christmas. Are you
willing to forget what you have
done for other people and to re-
member what other people have
done for you, to ignore what the
world owes you, and to think what
you owe the world, to see that your
fellow-men are just as real as you
are, and to try to look behind their
faces to their hearts hungry for
Joy, to close your book of COM
plants against the management of
the universe, and look around for
place where you can SOW a few
seeds of happiness-are you will
ing to do these things, even for a
day? Then you can keep Christmas.
Are you willing to stOop down and
consider the needs and the desires
of little children; to remember the
weakness and loneliness of people
who are growing old? Are you will
ing to believe that love is the
strongest thing in the world
stronger than death-and that the
blessed life which began in Bethle-
hem nineteen hundred years ago is
the image and brightness of the
Eternal Love? Then you can keep
Christmas. and if you keep it for
a day-why not always?
But you can never keep it alone.
