YOUR SOCIAL SECURITY
QUESTION: What is the best way to protect your rights under the social security law?
ANSWER- G<-t in touch with a social security district office or representative about your
questions or your situation. They will answer your questions and help you take any necessary
Question: If you become disabled, how can you best protect your rights under the disability
provisions of the social security law?
ANSWER: Bv getting In touch with a social security district office or one of Its representative
and filing an application for disability Insurance benefits. An application must be filed before
disability insurance benefits can be paid.
QUESTION: Even though social security benefits cannot be paid until the death, disability,
retirement of the insured person, is there anything the person can do before any of these things
happen to protect his rights? ,
ANSWER: Yes. Entitlement and the amounts of any kind of social security benefit depend on e
amounts credited to the social security earnings record account. The person can check the ac
curacy of his earnings record account by obtaining an earnings statement from the social security
record office in Baltimore, Maryland. He can do this by using a postcard form which he can
obtain from any social security office or representative. He can then check the statement against
his personal records, and if they do not agree, he may get in touch with a social security office
or representative so that the necessary corrections can be made. If he checks his account from
time to time, he can be assured of its correctness so that when death, disability, or retire
ment occurs, he or his survivors will receive all benefits due.

“Home buyers agree
with me. For modern,
year-round comfort,
go total electric.”
•lay Turner, president of the Sea-Land
Corporation, says, "There’s a growing
demand for total-electric homes. People
are sold on clean heat and the many other
conveniences that electricity provides.”
Mr. Turner's own home is total electric,
and he adds. "My family thoroughly en
joys those advantages. My College Park
development will feature total-electric
homes and a 28-unit apartment area, plus
an all-electric medical center.”
Georgia Power offers a special low rate
to total-electric residential customers.
And Mrs. Turner likes budget billing:
paying the same amount each month for
electric service.
Throughout Georgia, families like the
Turners are stepping up to the joy of
total-electric living. Don’t you, too. de
serve .the best?

MANY JOBS OPEN
FOR SOCIAL WORK
There are hundreds of interes
ting jobs going begging in the
state for people who like to
help people. And this month, the
North Georgia Chapter of the
National Association of Social
Workers is doing something
about it.
All month long, social workers
are using every avenue of com
munication to interest, high
school seniors in social work
as a career.
This is the word from Miss
Betty Timberlake, chairman of
the recruitment committee, and
a caseworker for the Family
Counseling Center, a United
Appeal agency.
Miss Timberlake reports that
a J 963 study of 425 social
agencies throughout the state
projected 650 additional jobs
would be open within the next
five years. The North Georgia
Chapter of the NASW now con
siders (Ms a conservative fore
cast and predicts the need will
be far greater.
Typical of people helped by
social workers is seven-year
old Julie Jackson. When Ju
lie’s mother first brought her
to see the social worker at
the Family Counseling Center,
Julie sat In the corner of the
chair, hung her head and held
fiercely onto her mother’shand.
Os course, Julie couldn’t ac
tually see the social worker.
Julie is blind.
Mrs. Jackson said Julie was
always morose, silent and sel
dom talked unless she had a
temper tantrum.
The social worker soon learn
ed that Julie rarely left her
mother’s side. She was not
allowed to play outside by her
self. Julie couldn’t dress her
self. Fearful of her child’s
safety ever since her birth,
Mrs. Jackson had been overly
protective, and had hurt Julie
more than her physical handi
cap.
As the weekly visits contin
ued, the social worker talked
with her little client, some
times with words and some
times with play and touch to
help her realize the world was
larger than her own three
room home. Julie began to trust
her new friend. She learned
she could find a dropped toy
by sliding her hands along the
floor; that there were three
steps' down to the yard and
playing with other children was
more fun than playing alone.
Mrs. Jackson learned, too.
After five months of coun
seling, Julie was ready to go
to a special school where she

is now making better than aver
age grades and getting along
well with her classmates.
Julie is blind, yet is more
fortunate than many other child
ren because she found a better
life through help by a social
worker. Many physically handi
capped and mentally disturbed
children, as well as hundreds
of adult men and women, who
seek help do not receive it
because there are not enough
qualified social workers. At
both governmental and volun
tary agencies, the waiting lists
are long, primarily because of
lack of personnel. Some people
can’t wait for help, and results
are disastrous.

fications of a social worker

ation of Social Workers. Write

DELAYED DEATHS PUT
GEORGIA’SGRIM TRAFFIC
TOLL AT RECORD 1,297
Georgia’s grim traffic death toll in 1964 was even worse
thar originally reported. This was revealed in revised consoli
dated statistics compiled by the Georgia Department of Public
Safety’s Accident Reporting Division, just released by Col.
H. Lowell Conner, director.
Reason the total went up, explained Capt. L. G. Bell, chief
statistician is because delayed deaths (those persons who suc
cumbed in 1965 to lingering injuries sustained last year)
are charged back to the 1964 record on the date the accidents
occurred.
There were 14 such fatalities recorded from Jan. 1 through
Feb. 19. As a result, here’s how the 1964 scoreboard reads to
date: 1,297 persons killed in Georgia traffic accidents — the
biggest total ot any year in Georgia’s history. This was an
Increase of 19, or slightly above one percent, over 1963 which
previously held the record.
Os the total, 1.029 of 1964’s traffic fatalities occurred in
rural areas, marking an Increase of 18, or two per cent. Urban
area deaths Increased by only one, the total being 268.
Pedestrians killed throughout the state, which is Included in
the over-all total, numbered 206, an Increase of 13.
There were 1,901,888 motor vehicles registered in Geor
gia In 1964, an increase of 93,833 over the previous year.
Cars and trucks traveled a total of 19,218,015,518 miles over
Georgia roads last year, an increase of 504,711,722 miles
in 1963.
As a result of this Increased travel, Georgia’s death rate
(based on the number of persons killed to each 100-million
miles traveled) dropped slightly, from 6.8 to 6.7.
Last year was an unusual one insofar as normal trends are
concerned. There were three reversals, two upward trends,
one downward for a prolonged period. Here’s how the pendulum
swung:
With only one month (March) showing a slight decline, Geor
gia’s traffic death toll at the end of the first five months
stood at 530, ahead of 1963 by 76 fatalities.
During the next six months (June through November) the
trend turned downward with each month recording a substan
tial reduction. Result: The 11-month total showed the 76-
fatality increase had been whittled to seven.
This downward trend continued through most of December
and it appeared that 1964 would better 1963’s dubious claim
to being the worst year in Georgia’s history for killing people
on the highways and streets.
But as the Christmas holiday season approached the trend
changed again. During the 78-hour holiday period a total of
25 persons were killed and another 225 were injured in 503
traffic accidents over the state. That killed Georgia’s chances
of Improving Its public safety picture. In fact, it made it look
uglier than it has ever looked before.
