Social Security Benefits Totals For Brantley Co. $311,339,196.00 in social se curity benefits was paid to residents of Georgia last year, O. L. Pope, social security dis trict manager in Waycross, re ports. At the end of 1966, 786 men, women, and children in Brantley County were receiv ing benefits at a monthly rate of $37,301. A total of 430 were older people, Pope said, receiving benefits as retired workers, the wives and husbands of re tired workers and as the sur viving widows or aged de pendent parents of workers who have died. “But social security is not just for older people,” Pope pointed out. A total of 150 young widows and children in the Brantley County area were receiving benefits amounting to $7,046 at the end of De cember. And 175 disabled workers and dependents were receiving benefits at a month ly rate of $7,553. “Practically every young family in Brant ley County has survivors pro tection under social security that can be worth $75,000 or more, and equally valuable disability insurance protec tion.” The average worker, he said, can expect to collect .more than the value of his social security tax contribu tions just in the benefits pay able to him and his wife in retirement. If he does not live to retirement, his family stands to collect far more than the contributions he has paid; and the same will be true if he should become totally dis abled for work before 65. Monthly payments to the family of a worker who dies, leaving 2 or more children, can range from $66 to $368 a month, depending on the worker’s average earning un der social security. Social security survivors benefits, Pope said, can be paid to the family of a young man who has worked and paid social security contributions for as little as a year and a half during the three years before his death. Benefits to the mother and children continue until the youngest child reaches 18, or indefinitely, if the child has a disability which began be fore his 18th birthday and makes it impossible for him to work and become self-support ing. Under a change in the law enacted in 1965, a child’s benefits can be continued up until age 22 if he or she con tinues in school. The farm fish pond is a valuable resource to its owner and it can be a money maker if managed properly, accord ing to specialists with the Uni versity of Georgia Cooperative Extension Service.

This is indeed a very important milestone and worthy of note and commendation. But it should never be considered the end of one’s education. The truth is, it is only the beginning of a very long, and often very difficult road ahead. It is important that young men and women keep this foremost in their minds as they start their adult life. In this complex age the demands of society and the business world arc greater than ever before. Tremendous pressures are on the individual to know, to do, and to be able to produce. And those who fail to meet the test will inevitably be left behind. So make no mistake about it, education and training today are far more important to economic security and gainful em ployment than ever before. And it becomes even more vital with the passing of each year. OF EQUAL IMPORTANCE is the fact that education in America is much more than just a “bread and butter” affair. Knowledge and learning are assets which enable the individual to make decisions and to act intelligently on the great problems and issues of the day. Our younger citizens need to know and understand the full meaning of the American way of life and that the freedom and prosperity which we enjoy in this nation did not come about as an accident of history. It is imperative to know why our people have more liberty and opportunity than any other in the world. It is vital to the economic security of America to understand the value of the free enterprise system which has rewarded us with the highest standard of living in the world. AS I SEE IT THIS IS just as much a part of American education as the arts, sciences, and social studies. It probably falls more in the category of history and appreciation and respect for the American heritage. Unfortunately, we see much evidence today that something is lacking in this area, and there are manifestations in the streets and on many campuses, both high school and college, of the truth in what Alexander Pope said a long time ago: “A little learning is a dangerous thi””” [Not prepared ar printed it Jaw> .d expanse) SUBSCRIPTION PRICE AND TAX Inside county $2.58 Outside county, in state $4.12 Outside state $4.00 Lyle, Julius Manning, Hilda McCracken; Nancy McFadden, Leßoy Middleton, Carolyn Middleton, Keith Miller, Henry Moody, Clinton Moody, Danny Moody, Geraldine Muchison, James Jr. O’Neal, James Purdom, Michael Rainge, Nathaniel Riggins, Gail Roberson, James Roberson, Rosa Strickland, Gwen’ Tucker, Dona Velie, Greg Wainright, Ann Wainright, Lamar White, Ronald Willis, Gary Wilson, Ruby Hickox H.
