VIII Extend Hours

The Social Security District
Office in Greenwood will be
open from,6 to 9 o'clock every
Tuesday for the next two weeks
for the convenience of people
65 or ever who work during
the day.
In announcing the special eve
mig hours, Luther H. Bolton,
manager Of the Greenwood Dis
trist Office noted that many
older people in the Greenwood
area who are still employed, do
not understand that recent
changes IN the Social Security
Law now make it possible for a
good number of them to collect
som benefits in addition to
their earnings.
Older workers made eligible
to collect some Social Security
benefits for the year 1861. may
lose some Of the payments due
them if they do not make appli-
cation for them before the end
of January 1862, Mr.. Bolton
said.

The Social Security District
Manager suggests that working
people 65 or over who have not
yet applied for their Social Sc
curity benefits stop in at his
office during the dav, or during
the special s to 9 o'clock Tues
cay evenings, to find out just
where they stand.
Some may find that their
earnings are too substantial to
permit payment of any benefits
right now, but the time devoted
to their visit will still be well
spent. Mr.. Bolton pointed out
that no disadvantage in filing a
claim for Social Security bene-
fits after a worker has reached
65, even though he NAV be
earning more than would per-
nit him to draw benefits at the
present time. Even if no bene-
fits are payable now, the neces-
sary paper work in applying for
benefits al be taken care of
so that checks can be issued
without delay after earnings
have gone down or stopped en-
tirely.

Office in Greenwood is located

,said, a number Of older people
continue TO think that they can
rot collect any Social Security
benefits at al if their earnings
are over $1,000 for the year.
This is not true, he emphasized.
To show how recent amend
ments to the Social Security
Law have increased the amount
an older worker can earn and
still collect some benefits, Mr..
Bolton cited the following ex-
ample:
Mr.. and Mrs. Smith, who are
both over IS, could upon appli-
cation become entitled to a com-
bined monthly benefit of $3.50.
based on Mr.. Smiths average
earnings under Social Security
of around g, 200 90 to $1,000 90
a year. Up until this year, this
couple could not be paid any
Of their benefits if Mr.. Smiths
annual earnings amounted to
over So $50.
With the recent change in the
law. Mr.. Smith could have earn
ings of $500 in 1851 and the
couple would have at least $3.50
IN benefits coming to them for
the year. IL Ais earnings were

Education And Economic Progress Are Partners
Our Low Income

Mississippi has only a few prob
lens that money couldn't overcome.
And money, in the form of more
income for more people, could help ale
viate some of these.
This thought comes to mind as the
latest census figures are published
which reveal that Mississippi is still
the poorest state in the union with an
average personal income of S2,884.00
Per family.
The figures stack up something
Ike this:
There are 500,921 families in the
state. Of this number there were Is
924 which had an income of $4,000 or
more and 1922 with an income of
$5,Q00 or more in the year of 1859.
This means 165.646 families rated in
the upper income bracket, or almost
one-third of the total number of fami-
lies.
At the other extreme there were
98.462 families which had to exist on
less than $1,000 per year, a subsistence
standard, or almost one-fifth of the
states families.
In the middle were the majority,
258,549 families, whose income was less
than $4,000.
Obviously, raising the income sta
tus Of the bottom fifth is of prime
importance in advancing the state as a
whole economically to where it would
compare favOrably with other Southern
states or the national average.
Lack Of education as well as basic
skii.s and training necessary in order
f. compete in today's highly competi-
Tive society are obviously the main rea-
sons why nearly 100000 families in
the state are compelled to exist on less
than $1,000 per year.
Before Mississippi can know prog
ress that we all want her to attain some
ding must be done to help these sub
standard families find a place for them
selves as useful and productive citizens,
able to make their own way, stand on
their own feet which means we must
manage to find or create more jobs in
the state.

An examination of the report on
employment in Mississippi reveals facts
which should be of interest to all those
interested in the development of the
Magnolia State.
Of u 2,178.141 total population
there are 682,339 persons employed in
gainful jobs, more than one-third of the
entire population.
These people have obtained and are
holding these jobs because they have
been educated and trained to do so =
and their income is determined in large
measure by the way they are able to
produce.
The largest number is employed in
agriculture, forestry and fisheries, for
a total Of 1929 of the total.

A look at the educational %qualifi-
cations Cor lack of them) of our pres
emf population is highly revealing and
somewhat frustrating. Along this line
the census report showed the average
Mississippian over 25 years of age to-
day has received only SO years of
schooling.
In the over-25 age group there are
1,064.976 persons. Of the latter num-
Der 59,273 had received four years of
college Or more. But 40,640 of this
came as a surprise to us, had received
no schooling at all while 160,015 had
received only from one to four years
of schooling. There were 184,331 who
had four years of high school. These
figures seem to indicate the state is
losing too many Of our bright young
people before they reach the age of
25 - which to us is the most tragic
loss in any area.
Census information and statistics
from the State Department of Educa-
ton indicate we have 566,319 children
enrolled today in elementary and high
schools in the state; also that there
are 613,370 persons from five to "a
years Of age in school, including the
elementary and high school groups, 81
49, in college and 1886 in kinder
garten.
IF our educational system is going
TO be able to do the job it must, there
can be no cutback in what we are al
ready doing. Indeed, increases in appro-
prlations are a certainty if we are to
maintain the pace of the past.
It is going to be a tremendous task
and challenge the gentlemen of the
Mississippi State Legislature face in
January of 1862 to find a way to pro-
vide the funds necessary to finance our
long range educational program.
But find it they must.
Our states whole future depends
upon it.
Education and economic progress
are partners. We can't have one with
cut the other.
