Helpful Facts On
Old-Age Insurance
By JOSEPH R. MURPHY, Manager,
Atlanta Field Office, S.S.B.
Q. Will monthly federal old-age
retirement benefits be paid to every
one after age 65?
A. No. Monthly federal old-age
benefits will only be paid to individ
uals who attain the age of 65, after
working in covered employment at
some time during at least five dif
ferent calendar years after 1936, and
before age 65, and their wages from
sueh employment must total at least
$2,000. Monthly benefits will not
start until the worker retires from
covered employment.
Q. What benefit will be paid to
workers who receive wages of $2,000
or more in covered employment but
who attain the age of 65 before they
have a chance to work five different
calendar years after 1936 ?
A. The worker must meet both re
quirements to be eligible for monthly
benefits. Otherwise he will receive a
lump-sum of 3 1-2 cents on each dol
lar of wages received in covered em
ployment after 1936 and before age
65. He does not have to retire from
covered employment to get his lump
sum benefit.
Q. Must the worker be employed
continuously in five consecutive
years to qualify ?
A. No. One day’s work in covered
employment in each of five different
calendar years is sufficient to meet
the five-year requirement. The five
years may be separated by unem
ployment or periods when the indi
vidual works in excluded employ
ments.
Q. Will the fact that a worker
loses his social security card and se
cures another card affect his old-age
insurance benefits ?
A. No one should ever have more
than one social security account num
ber. If the card is lost a duplicate
card bearing the number of the origi
nal card should be applied for.
Q. Should a change of jobs be re
ported to the social security board ?
A. No. You only need one social
security account number during your
lifetime, regardless of where you re
ceived your card or in which state or
states you work thereafter. Simply
show your account number card to
each employer for whom you work
in covered employment. The employer
reports your wages quarterly and all
wages received in covered employ
ment in the United States will be
posted to your account.
AMENDMENT PROVIDES
PROTECTION FOREST LANDS
ATLANTA. —Georgia voters will
cast a ballot for or against twenty
one constitutional amendments in the
general election on Nov. 8, the big
ticket sent out to county ordinaries
this week reveals.
All of the amendmentyvith one ex
ception are of a local * nature. The
lone amendment of state-wide appli
cation is No. 10 on the ballot and
seeks to “provide for fire protection
of forest lands and for the further
conservation of natural resources.”
If ratified, this amendment will make
it permissive for county governments
to appropriate money for forest fire
protection and for the further con
servation of natural resources. Many
counties are already appropriating
funds for fire protection, and the
ratification of this amendment will
make this expenditure legal and at
the same time will give other coun
ties the same legal right. The pass
age of the amendment does not make
the appropriation of the money obli
gatory but provides a constitutional
right to do so if the people in a
county want it done.
The late Dr. Charles H. Herty, who
devoted the latter years of his life
in the development of the manufac
ture of paper from Georgia nine
trees, worked tirelessly for this
amendment. Before the Georgia Press
association last June he made a vig
orous appeal for the passage of this
amendment. In the appeal to the
press of the state the great scientist
declared that the hope for the fu
ture of the pulp mills in this state
rested largely on the ratification of
this amendment. He declared that
county-wide fire protection is the
only practical and most economical
plan of forest fire protection in the
majority of the counties of the state.
Frank Heyward, director of the di
vision of forestry of the department
of natural resources, and officals of
the Georgia Forestry association,
called on the people of the state to
ratify the amendment as a safeguard
against fires in the forests of Geor
gia which are so essential to the con
tinued success of a great industry in
the state and as an insurance to oth
er paper mills that are interested in
locating in this section that the sup
ply of trees for pulp will meet their
demands.
“The ratification of this amend
ment means millions of dollars to the <
people of Georgia,” Mr. Heyward de- j
dared.

Good Tidings
(By Thomas D. Lynn)
Text: Who is like unto the LORD
our God, who dwelleth on high?
Fs. cxiii:s.
In the days of Ahab, king of Is
rael; the people had forsaken the
commandments of the Lord and were
following Ba-alim.
Elijah the prophet of God said un
to Ahab, Now, therefore, send and
gather to me all Israel unto Mount
Carmel, and the prophets of Baal
four hundred and fifty, and the
prophets of the groves four hundred,
which eat at Jezebel’s table.
So Ahab sent unto the children of
Israel and gathered the prophets to
gether unto Mount Carmel.
And Elijah came unto all the peo
ple and said, How long halt ye be
tween two opinions ? if the Lord be
God, follow him: but if Baal then fol
low .him. And the people answered
him not a word.
Then said Elijah unto the people,
I, even I only, remain a prophet of
the Lord: but Baal’s prophets are
four hundred and fifty men.
Let them, therefore, give us two
bullocks; and let them choose one
bullock for themselves, and cut it in
pieces, and lay it on wood, and put
no fire under: And I will dress the
other bullock, and lay it on wood, and
put no fire under: And ye call on the
name of your gods, and I will call
on the name of the Lord: And the
God that answered by fire, let him
be God.
And all the people answered and
said, It is well spoken.
All this was done that the prophet
had spoken, the bullock prepared and
they cried unto Ba-al from morning
even until noon, saying, Oh, Ba-al,
hear us. But there was no voice, nor
any that answered.
And it came to pass at noon, that
Elijah mocked them, and said, Cry
aloud: for he is a god; either he is
talking, or he is pursuing, or he is
in a journey, or peradventure he
sleepeth, and must be awaked.
And they cried aloud, and cut
themselves after their manner w
knives and lancets, till the blood
gushed out upon them.
And it came to pass, when mid-day
way past, and they prophesied until
the time of the offering of the eve-
ning sacrifice, that there was neith
er voice, nor any to answer, nor any
that regarded.
Then Elijah called the people near
him. And he repaired the altar of the
Lord and took twelve stones and with
the -stones built an altar, and put the
wood in order, and cut the bullock
in pieces, and laid him on the wood.
There was a trench made around
the altar, and Elijah said, Fill four
barrels with water, and pour it on
the burnt sacrifice, and on the wood.
And he said, Do this the second
and third times, and thev did. And
the water ran about the altar; and
he filled the trench also with water.
And it cames to pass at the time
of the evening sacrifice that Elijah
prayed and said, Hear me, 0 Lord,
heard me, that this people may know
that thou art the Lord God, and that
thou hast turned their heart back
again.
Then the fire of the Lord fell, and
consumed the burnt sacrifice, and the
wood, and the stones, and the dust,
and licked up the water that was in
the trench, and they fell on their
faces and said, The Lord, he is the
God. —I Kings 18th chapter.
The Lord is high above all nations,
and his glory above the heavens. —
Ps. cxiii:4.
He hath shewed his people the
power of his works ... he sent re
demption unto his people: he hath
commanded his covenant forever:
Holy and reverend is his name.—Ps.
cxi:6-9.

“What on earth do you mean?
There’s no snow at this time of year,”
