COMMENTS ON HERE
AND HEREAFTER
By Dr, Bob Join »
Here is a suggestion for a sermon
“Go to, let us build us a city and a
tower.’’ Man is selfish. He builds for
himself a tower and a city. That is
the reason the tower of Babel fell.
Any movement that centers in self is
doomed to fail. “Hate never wins its
purpose,” J heard a man say. Neither
people on earth are the people who live
does selfishness. The most miserable
people on earth are the people who live
self-centered lives. The men who hoard
money for themselves find that instead
of the money’s bringing happiness it
brings torment. It curses them and
their children. It mocks their cry for
happiness. The folks who live in
themselves are always miserable. The
ones who live for others and forget
themselves are always happy. We take
in by pouring out. We get by giving.
We hoard by scattering, load We by gain taking by
losing. We lighten our load of bur¬
on our shoulders the a
dened brother. We dry our own tears
by wiping tears from the cheeks of
weeping friends. We rest by working.
We rejoice by repenting. We reach up
by reaching down to help someone. hearts
We find comfort for our own
when they break in sympathy for the
sorrowing. God wants us to be unsel¬
fish. Therefore, win He will which not let selfish¬
ness in this world He made
and which, after it went away from

selfish act or uttered a selfish word.

Social Security fays $187,322
A Year To White Connty
As of February 1959, old-age, sur¬
vivors, and disability insurance month¬
ly benefits were being paid in White
County at the rate of $187,332.00 a
year, according to Cecil W. Collins,
manager of the Gainesville social se¬
curity “This office. is of about 5%
an increase
over last year,” Collins said.
Collins stressed that wnile the be
efits are intended primarily for the
beneficiary’s economic security, the
payment of social security benefits at
the rate of $187,332.00 a year in White
County generally helps business because in the commu¬ of the
nity is spent immediately most food,
money on
clothing, and other necessities.
“Payments to a retired worker with
no dependents receiving benefits aver¬
aged $67.50 a month nationally in
February, and to a retired couple
$119.40 a month,” Collins said. The
average for a widow with two young
children was $165. The maximum pay¬
ment for a family is $254. the
“There were several reasons for
increase in beneficiaries over last
year," Collins said. The long-term
growth of the aged population and of
the proportion of the aged population fac¬
eligible the for benefits continuing are increase important in the
tors in
number of beneficiaries. Other reasons
for the increase of beneficiaries are
found in the provisions of the 1958
Amendments to the Social possible Security for
Act which now makes it (

DON’T USE TOO MUCH “SELL”
Mr. J. C. Penney once described his
success thus: “My advertising was
hard-hitting, enthusiastic, but in to¬
day’s phrase ‘corny.’ I talked with
people in the newspapers just as I
would in my store, or if 1 met a
neighbor on the street. I just told what
I had to sell — told all about it, and
kept it honest and believable . . . The
fact is that retailers can’t get along
without advertising — and they’d bet¬
ter not try!”

The suit of W. Sheehan was

Sheehan sued the county for $50,000.

The Gainesville social security office
reported today that many housewives
in this area are not reporting house¬
hold help for social security purposes.
“As little as $4 per week in cash
earnings totals more than $50 a quar¬
ter and should be reported to the
Director of Internal Revenue,” Mana¬
ger Cecil W. Collins said.
Collins explained reporting is easier
than many housewives think. Upon re¬
quest, Internal Revenue Service mails
a report form each calendar quarter
as a reminder. The report has the form
of an envelope. The housewife enters
the worker’s name, social security
number and total cash earnings. She
puts a check or money order in the
pocket to cover the social security tax:
and mails the sealed envelope to the
address already printed on it.
The tax rate for 1959 is for
employee and 2V 2 % for employer. Thia
rate will increase to 3% each on Janu¬
ary 1, 1960.
No detailed bookkeeping is required.
The fact that a household worker ia
also reported by another employer
makes no difference in reporting re¬
sponsibility. Proper
security reporting establishes social
credit or retirement, sur¬
vivors, and disability insurance bene¬
fits for the household worker and her
dependents.
