GEORGIA
MACON (PRN) - Sidney
Clopton Lanier, born in
Macon in 1842, was one of the
state’s most versatile sons. He
received recognition as a poet,
musician, teacher, scholar,
lawyer, mathematician,
naturalist, linguist, novelist,
soldier. And his
self-description -a line from
his last poem chosen to mark
his grave - reads, “I am lit
with the sun.”
The birthday of the famed
Georgia bard will be
celebrated in Macon on
February 3, highlighted by the
issuance of an eight-cent
postage stamp honoring the
occasion.
A number of programs and
printings are planned, with the
Macon Chamber of Commerce

Historical Society preparing
special biographical material.
An accordion folder of
striking color photographs
which illustrate Lanier’s works
will be distributed by the
Historical Society. John J.
McKay, historian and relative
of the poet, has included
photographs of Georgia scenes
which vividly depict Lanier’s
beloved “Marches of Glynn”
and “Song of the
Chattahoochee.”

Social Security
News & Views
Did you receive Social Se
curity benefits in 1971?
Did you work in 1971?
Did you earn more than
SI6BO in 1971?
If your answer is yes to
all three of these questions,
you will more than likely need
to file a report of your work
with the Social Security Ad
ministration. Those receiving
social security last year and
tad one or more checks with
held because of work will
receive a form to complete.
Others earning more than
SI6BO last year should contact
the social security office for
necessary action.
The annual report is due on
or before April 17,1972. Any
one having a question on this
report, please contact the
Dublin Social Security Office
located at 114 East Johnson
Street. The telephone number
is 272-5347.
Q. Since I will be 62 later
this year, I plan to apply for
reduced monthly social se
curity retirement benefits a
couple of months before my
birthday. I understand that I
can earn up to SI6BO a year
without losing my benefits.
From what date do I begin
counting the SI6BO — from
the date I apply for benefits
or the date I become 62?
A. Neither. Start counting
from the first of the year
toward the SI6BO, even though
you apply for benefits and
become 62 later that year.
However, regardless of your
total earnings for the year,
benefits are paid for any month
in which you do not earn over
$l4O.
Q. In addition to paying me
cash wages, the farmer I work
for furnishes me with room
and board. Can the value of
this room and board be counted
as wages for social security
purposes?
A. No. If you work on a
farm only wages paid in cash
count for social security pur
poses.
Q. I am confined to a hos
pital. Since I can’t come to
the social security office to
apply for monthly disability
benefits, what other arrange
ments can I make?
A. Call or write any social
security office. It is quite
likely that the necessary
forms can be completed over
the phone and mailed to you
for your signature.
