Decision: Retire At 62 Or
Wait And Get Larger Income
Age 62 is a year of decision for
many men and women because
they have a choice of retiring
and collecting social security
then or waiting until some later
time.
Sam was trying to make up
his mind the other day when he
decided that, he'd call at. the
social security office to find out
just how his decision would
affect his retirement plans. Sam
wanted to know whether he
should retire when he was 62
years old or wait until he wasi
65
To tell a person when to retire;
is a great responsibility. But he |
was told the Social Security
office would furnish him witiil
all of the information about I
social security that he needed in
order to make his own decision !
He will be 62 years old in July i
and is farming about 300 acres I
of land. He and his wife, who is |
a year older than he, had kept
pace with the modern farming
methods as they were introduced
and had made a good living from j
their farm.
You've waited yourself
right into the juiciest
Ford Clearance ever!

“This business of farming is
i very involved and quite compli-
J rated today”, he told me. "I
I could keep on working a few
years more but I don't have the
| energy I once had and I have a
; son who is anxious to take over."
Based on the earnings that
Sam had made from his farming
operation, he was told that be
ginning in July when he will be
62, he could collect social se
curity payments of SB4 a month.
His wife could also get a
monthly payment of $43.80 a
month making a total income
from social security of $127.80
monthly for them.
If he waited until he were 65
to retire, he would receive $lO5
a month and his wife could col
lect $52.50 or a total of $157.50
monthly But waiting until he is
65, however, he would not re
ceive payments in the three
years between 62 and 65 which,
if made to him and his wife at
the rate of $12780 a month,
would total $4,600.80. If he
chooses to collect this amount
before he is 65, the payment to
him and his wife will be reduced
by $29.70 a month which is the
difference between $157.50 and
$127.80.
Based on these figures, he
learned that he and his wife
would be ahead in total social
security income until he was
about 77 years old if they took
benefits beginning with his 62nd
birthday.
Sam has other things to con
ider before he and his wife
make up their minds about re
tirement. He has a great deal of
money invested in farm equip
ment and he wants to be sure
that his farm land is in good
hands before he decided what
to do. He may be slowing up but
with retirement will come a lot
of leisure time that he will have
to fill. Maybe he could not'stand
to sit back and do nothing at
the age of 62.
Sam will be back some day.
And ho will know then exactly
what he wants to do. Anyone
who has a decision like Sam’s to
make should get in touch with
the office The Rome Social Se
curity Office is located at 308
Olenn Milner Boulevard. The
phone number is 232-0861.
The end of life will find most
of us with a lot of business that
should have been attended to
several years earlier.

CUI Reports
On ‘64 Work
Despite a shortage of both
agents and clerical workers, the
Georgia Bureau of Investigation
managed to show increases in
most areas of operation during
the first six months of 1964 com
pared with last year’s comparable
period, according to Major Bar
ney G. Ragsdale, director.
In a report to Col. H. Lowell
Conner, director of the Georgia
Department of Public Safety,
Major Ragsdale gave the follow-)
ing information concerning the
GBl's operations this year com
pared with a yera ago:
From Jan. I, through June 30.'
3,698 cases were worked by GBI
agents compared with 3,658 last;
year, an increase of one per cent.
A total of 1,795 arrests were I
made compared with 1,077 a year
ago, an increase of 67 per cent.
GBI agents worked 412 cases
involving stolen automobiles this
year compared v'ith 392 last
year, an increase of five per
cent. * —“ —~
There were 255 arrests for
stolen automobiles as against 222
in 1963's six-month peroid, an
increase of 15 per - cent.
Agents cleared and closed 1,730
cases as contrasted with 2,085 a
year ago, a decrease of 17 perl
cent.
“The increase in activities has
been accomplished in spite of the
fact that 10 agents are assigned
to investigate the Gwinnett
County murder of three police
officers,” Major Ragsdale said in
his report. Also there have been
six GBI agents tied up at Athens
on the Col. Lemuel Penn murder
case. These agents are assisting

ORDINARY
The ordinary is a judge.
He d£als with a wide variety of ordainary purpose matters.
Many years ago, the judges of the Inferior Court sat in three
capacities —for “ordinary” purposes, “county” purposes and as
a court of law. The ordinary judgeship hasn’t changed too much
over the years but the “county purpose” judge has evolved into
the county commissioner and the court of law is now the county
court stystem. (The “Inferior Courts” were abolished in 1868.>
The ordinary holds court on the first Monday of each month.
The cases on the docket are called at that time and are assigned
for hearing either that day or at some other time later in the
term. Minutes of these sessions are kept.
Ordinaries are much concerned in cases involving wills,
mentally ill persons, birth certificates, death certificates, guard
ianships, etc. They hold general elections and they issue marriage
licenses.
They maintain many records—some 54 in all.
These records include petitions, such as petitions for tem
porary administration or twelve months support.
The records include bonds such as bonds for natural guard
ians.
They include letters such as letters of guardianship.
They include records of those having pistol toter’s license,
homesteads, confederate widows pensions, commitment cases,
petitions for private roadways, appointment of land proces
sioners, docket records of all estates, registration of cattle brands,
etc.
It has been said that the Court of Ordinary is that portion
of our judicial structure which comes closest to the people.
Birth, marriages and death come to all of our citizens and with
all of these the ordinary’s office is concerned.
The ordinary now receives $6,000 a year but the last General
Assembly raised it to $7,000, effective Jan. 1. 1965. It also stipu
lated that he would pay up to $2,400 a year for help instead of
the present $1,200.
Paul Weems
Paul Weems is seeking re-election as ordinary of Chattooga
County and has no opposition.
He is 60 years of age and a native of Chattooga County. Mr.
Weems graduated from Summerville High School and the Cin
cinnati College of Embalming. For some 25 years, he was in the
funeral business in Summerville.
He was with Salmon Butane Gas Company for 10 years and
served eight years in the Georgia House of Representatives. Mr.
Weems is now completing his first term as ordinary.
He is a steward in the Summerville Methodist Church and
is a member of the Methodist Men's Club. He is a charter mem
ber and past president of the Summerville-Trion Rotary Club.
Mr. Weems is married to the former Miss Maude O'Donnell
and they have one daughter, Mrs. Ro^e Chevremont Os Summer
ville, a teacher at the Summerville Elementary School. The
Weems also have two granddaughters.
the FBI.
“We are also handicapped fur- I
ther by the shortage of secre- |
tarial personnel. At the present I
time we have the same number of I
clerical personnel we had 15
years ago when we had 25 agents.
At that time we had a 5-to 1
ratio. At the present time we
have 60 agents-- a 12-to-l ratio.
“This has made it necessary
for the agents to type their own
case reports instead of dictating
them. The time it takes an agent
to type his report causes a loss
of his service in the field.
“But. in spite of all this, we
have still shown an increase in
most categories,”
A very small honor can puff
up a very small individual.
