SALK VACCINE
GIVEN TO
344 CHILDREN
344 first and second grade
children of Brantley County re
ceived their first injections of
the Salk Vaccine under the su
pervision of Dr. E. A. Moody.
No unfavorable reactions have
been reported thus far.
The vaccine is furnished free
to all first and second grade
children now enrolled in schools
in the United States and its ter
ritories by the National Founda
tion for Infantile Paralysis.
All parents whose children re
ceive the vaccine must sign a
consent slip. Lollipops for each
child were furnished by the lo

the Salk Vaccine the battle is
not yet won.
There are still thousands of
cases which will require years of

many more cases this year as
there is not enough vaccine a
vailable for everybody. Those
having priority are children one
through twelve and pregnant
women.

Housewives Are
Reminded to Pay
Social Security
Housewives in Brantley County
were given a timely reminder to
day by the Manager of the Way
cross District Office, Social Se
curity Administration. He states
there is a large group of house
wives in Brantley County to
whom this reminder is partic
ularly important right now. A
housewife is required to make a
Social Security report during the
month of April on every house
hold worker to whom the house
wife paid as much as SSO in cash
wages during the first three
months of this year. This is not
a voluntary matter.
If you have not received the
special envelope reporting form,
you should write the District Di
rector of Internal Revenue, At
lanta, Georgia, and ask for one.
Mr. O. L. Pope, Manager, also
mentioned the large number of
telephone calls his office is re
ceiving from housewives who ask
how they can explain to the
household worker what the work
er can expect to get for the Social
Security tax which the house
wife must deduct from her pay.
Wages received in household em
ployment count toward Social Se
curity benefits just like wages
received in other covered employ
ment provided the wages receiv
ed from the housewife are as
much as SSO cash in the quarter
year.
If the household worker works
long enough to be insured, bene
fits are paid to the worker in
old age or to certain survivors
in case of her death. Benefits
range from S3O per month to
S2OO per month depending upon
the individual case.
If you would like further in
formation, contact the Social Se
curity Office, P. O. Box 756, Way
cross, Georgia.
