The controversy over Northern
Rhodesia has arisen from the fear
by some whites that the Africans
could gain control of the Govern
ment under the plan proposed BY
Britain. At the same time, Afri-
can nationalists have warned that
any denial of a true advancement
for them would lead to trouble.
In Southern Rhodesia, the situa-
ton is somewhat less acute but
similarly troubled. African nation
alists are opposed to the suggest
ed Constitution, which would give
them Is of IS seats in the Legis-
lative Assembly. They contend the
pan was devised to keep the
whites in power indefinitely.
Charter Approval Urged
Sid Edgar Whitehead, Prime
Minister of Southern Rhodesia,
which has had limited self-gov-

week for approval of the new Con-

He noted that Britain would give
up the power she has to veto leg

RUsTPR00F DRAINAGE SYSTEMS
NOW POSSIBLE TN JACKSON

If you are planning to build or
remodel a home in the Jackson
area, you can take advantage of
recent construction developments
to install less bulky, rustproof,
plumbing drainage system at pos
sible cost savings.
Jackson is one Of 500 progress
! sive U. s. communities where.
builders and plumbing contractors
can offer more value for their
customers building dollars, re-
ports John Foehl, plumbing spec
ialist for Anaconda American
Brass Company. This good news
can be credited to the development
of copper drainage tube, Type
DWV for home drainage, waste
and vent piping.
while copper piping has been
standard in homes for hot and
cold water lines for over 80 years,
the introduction of special light
weight copper tube for drainage
in 1866 required revision of out
dated building codes that were
written before this new type of
piping was developed" Foehl says.
In 1856 necessary code revisions
had only been made by communi-
ties of IL states. Today over SOC
communities in 43 states have mod
ernized their codes to accommodate
this new material and more thar
100000 installations using Type
DWV Copper Drainage Tube have
been made.
Foehl passes along some tips
on how homeowners and prospec.
tive home buyers can make best
use of this material:
Jackson advocate. [volume] (Jackson, Miss.) 1939-current, 1961-07-08

l. If you are buying a new de-
velopment home, check whether
the feature "all-copper plumbing"
includes drainage lines as we'll as
water piping.
2. II you are having a new home
custom-built, ask your plumbing
contractor if he is planning on
using copper drainage. Because
vent stacks can be installed within
standard 4-inch wall partitions,
copper drainage piping does not
require extra-wide plumbing walls
that take up valuable space.
8. If you plan adding a second
bathroom, copper drainage tube
can be connected to your existing
drainage system, reducing the need
for tearing up of partition walls.
a. If you want to finish base
ment, make sure that all piping is
out of reach of heads by replacing
bulky basement piping with light
weight, space-saving copper tube.

Increases Noted In
Social Security

Several thousand persons living
area are among the 81 million
people throughout the country who
received increases in the social
security checks delivered to them
last week Edward f. Sullivan, dis
trlct manager of the Dover social
security office, said today.
Under amendments to the social
security law signed by President
Kennedy on June 80 payments are
increased for about one out of
OF every four persons on the So
clal security benefit rolls. Pay
ments of those getting benefits
at or near the minimum rate are
boosted by amounts ranging up to
81 and the benefits of widows get
ting payments based on their hus-
bands work are raised by about
III percent. Aged dependent widow
ers and some aged dependent par
ents of deceased workers also get
a 10 percent increase.
These increased benefits under
WV h"ot ~ the Id w
could be added automatically to
their checks, Sullivan said But per-
sons made newly eligible for bene-
fits or for higher benefits by some
of the other 1861 amendments will
need to get in touch with their
nearest social security office.
Under these amendments:
% Retired men have the option
of collecting reduced retirement
benefits as early as age o.
CD Many older people who did not
work for the length of time re-
quired under the old law will now
be eligible for payments.
The amount of work needed to get
benefits has been reduced How
ever at least year and half of
work under social security is need
ed to qualify for payments. The
surviving families of workers who
died after June 1854 and who were
not eligible for benefits under the
old law may now be eligible be-
cause of this change.
CD The amount that beneficiaries
can earn and still collect a por-
ton of their benefits for the year
has been raised. AS an example a
worker without dependents eligible
for a monthly old age benefit of
Sl2O can earn about $500 annual
ly and still collect some OF his
benefits for the year. Many people
otherwise eligible for benefits who
have not yet applied because they
are still working should find out
now whether it is to their advan-
tage to file an application.
ca Because of the 10 percent in
crease in widows benefits some
widows now getting social security
benefits based on their own work
under social security may be able
to qualify for higher amounts by
applying for the widows benefits
payable on their husbands
social security earnings records.
