DELAYED PERSONAL INJURY
SUIT CAN MAKE
THE ACTION VOID
(Prepared by Atlanta Bar Assn, and
Lawyers’ Club of Atlanta)
Elmer Dilbert and his 9-year-old
son, Pilbert Dilbert, received serious
injuries when they were run down by
a truck The belonging injuries to X Trucking Com¬
pany. were caused by the
negligence of the truck driver and
both Mr. Dilbert and his son were in
the hospital for several months. The
accident occurred on Christmas Eve,
1954. In January, 1957, suits were filed
by the father and by the father in his
son’s behalf. X Trucking Company
contended that the Dilberts had waited
too long to file their suits.
HELD: The contentions of X Truck¬
ing Company were proper as to' the
suit filed by Mr. Dilbert. Georgia law
provides that suits for personal in¬
juries such as those involved have to
be brought within two years after the
injuries are inflicted. There are excep¬
tions to this rule of law, one of which
is that a minor who receives injuries
such as Philbert Dilbert received have
a period of- two years after reaching
the age of 21 years to file suit. Thus,
the suit filed in behalf of Mr. Dilbert’s
son was in order.

Many disabled people who are eligi
ble under the new disability provisions
in the social security law have not
yet applied for their ngbts, announced
Mr. Robert B. Overton, Jr., district
manager of the Geainesville, Georgia,
social security district office today.
If a person who has been disabled
and has not worked for some time
does lose not apply eligibility before June 30, he
may his for disability
insurance benefits at age 50 and at
best he would suffer a reduction in
any benefits at age 50 and at best he
would suffer a reduction in any bene¬
fits payable to him at in retirement age,
or to his survivors case of his
death.
“Of course, no one wants that to
happen” Mr. Overton sa:-*
are asking readers to pass this infer
motion on to any person worked they know
who is diablsed, but who un
der social security for at least 5
years during the 10-year period before
becoming disabled. Tell him to get in
touch with his nearest social security
office.
Mr. Overton explained that to be
eligible under the disability provisions
in the social security law, a person
who files an application before June
30, 1957 must (a) be so severely dis¬
abled that he cannot do any sub¬
stantial gainful work; (b) have
worked in 5 out of the last 10 years
before his disability began; (c) have
also worked in V /2 out of the last 3
years before that date. Of course, the
work must have been in social secu¬
rity covered employment or self
employment, except that in some
cases railroad work or military ser¬
vice may be counted.
If a disabled person files an appli¬
cation after the end of June 1957
and has been disabled for more than
one year, he must have social security
credit for 5 years in the 10 years
period ending just application, one year and before also
the date of his
for 1 V 2 out of the last three years of
this period.
The effect of this provision disabled is that
a person who was before
October 1954 will no longer be able
to have his social security record
frozen or to receive he disability pay¬
ments at age 50 if waits until
after June to apply because he would
not meet the work requirements. If
his steady, work 'he before his disability was not
might lose out even if
disabled more recently than Septem¬
ber 1954.
Of course, even if he cannot qualify
for old-age insurance benefits at age
65 (62 for women) if he meets the
requirements to be fully insured. His
survivors may still be eligible for
benefits in case of his death. How¬
ever, in either case, the benefit rate
will be lower than if he had applied
before June 30, 1957, for a disability
determination.
“The important thing to remember”
Mr. Overton concluded, “is if you have
been disabled for work for a long
time and do not apply before June
30, 1957, you may lose rights to pro¬
tect your social security record, to
disability benefits at age 50, to re¬
tirement benefits at retirement age
and to survivors benefits for your
family in of death.” '

Ah, the Simple Way oi Life
THE OTHER DAY’ we were reading
a sports column by Jimmy Cannon, praised
writing from New York and it
small town people. We were very
much interested in the opinion ex¬
pressed and agree most heartily.
Cannon noted that some fraudu¬
lently sophisticated city slickers lived
under the assumption that small town
people were to be ridiculed. We have
always believed, as Cannon does, ap¬
parently, that small town people are
the backbone of this country.
It is in the average small town, or
city, and in the rural areas, that the
real strength of this country lies. Of
course, the cities have bright lights,
many modern conveniences and other
new fads, gadgets and entertainments
that small-town life may not have.
On the other hand, the advent of
the automobile, television and modem
conveniences powered by electricity
have made it possible for those living
in small towns and in rural areas to
have many of the things which for¬
merly were available only in the
cities, and to enjoy the many benefits
of non-city life, as well.
As to the people themselves, we say
that most small-town people, or rural
folk, have a sort of dignity of sim¬
plicity which is both wholesome and
refreshing, and which is one of the
characteristic traits of the typical
American. The city slicker is not
smarter than he is, merely slicker.
The more the merchants advert
in The Courier the better town Cle
land will be. A live and wide awi
town is where the local mercha
advertise regularly in their Ho
Newspaper. Mr. Merchant, If you want more bt
ness have an ad
