Families Benefit
By New Social
Security Lew
The President has just signed
into law the bill which amends
the Social Security Act. H. M.
Cleveland, Manager of the So-
cial Security Administration* in
Corpus Christi says that as a
result of the action by Congress
many persons in this area gain-
ed additional financial protec-
tion.
“A number of important
changes were made in the law”,
he said. “Some people will bene-
fit immediately by the new law,
and some of the provisions are
long range in their effect.”
“The age limit of 50 has been
removed from the disability sec-
tion of the law. Now, regard-
less of his age, a worker who
is unable to work because of
a serious impairment, can claim
disability insurance for him-
self and his family, on his so-
cial security earnings record.”
“It will now be easier to
become insured since the a-
mount of work time required
has been reduced. Instead of
one quarter of work for each
two quarters after 1950, the num-
ber required is now one for
Anyone who could not become
entitled to benefits before, be-
cause the worker had not been
employed long enough, should
make inquiry of the social se-
curity office again.
The retirement test, which
applies to social security pay-
ments to employed beneficiar-
ies, has been liberalized. As be-
fore, full payment can be made
for a year in which a bene
61 Line Of Fords On
Display At Local Dealer
The 1961 Ford features crisp interval, will mean fewer incon-
new styling, new dimensions for
greater maneuverability, and
m.a j o r engineering improve-
ments such as 30,000-mile lubri-
cation, that will result in lower
maintenance costs and more
carefree, operation.
James O. Wright, Ford Motor
Company vice president and
Ford Division general manager,
said the new Ford, nearly four
inches shorter and two inches
narrower than in 1960, will of-
offer “a completely new, fresh
appearance in the classic Ford
tradition of straight-line design.”
Mr. Wright also announced
the 1961 Ford styling has been
recognized for its “functional
expression of • classic beauty”
by a world-renowned fashion
authority. In Rome, Italy, a-
gainst a backdrop of the new
fashion center of the world,
the Centro PerT Alta Moday
Italiana recently presented
Ford Motor Company with a
special rhedal honoring the 1961
Ford.
Mr. Wright said engineering
and design improvements in the
1961 Ford make it a “car that
virtually takes care of itself.”
Improvements include:
A new grease and lubrica-
cation system that extends the
normal chassis lubrication in-
terval to 30,000 miles.
New. heavier brakes that ad-
just themselves.
Specially processed underbody
parts, including galvanized body
panels below the doors, that re-
sist rust 'and corrosion.
Aluminized mufflers that are
double-wrapped for three times
normal life.
A 250 per cent increase in
the thickness of anodizing on
aluminum surfaces for brighter,
longer-lasting grille, headlamp
and tail lamp trim.
“These features,” Mr. Wright
Diamond Lustre finishes that
never need waxing and the Full-
said, “combined with Ford’s
Flow oil filtering system that
permits a 4,000-mile oil change
venient service stops and more
savings with the new Fords.”
The new Ford line, to be in-
troduced by Ford dealers on
September 29, consists of 16
models in four series -- Fair-
lane, Fairlane 500. Galaxie arid
station wagons. Added to the
line are two new models — a
Galaxie Club Victoria (two-door
hardtop) and a six-passenger
country squire station wagon.
All six station wagon models,
from the two-door Ranch Wagon
to the nine-passenger, four-door
Country Squire with simulated
wood paneling,- have a new roll-
down rear window in the tail-
gate. IThe tailgat itself is seven
inches wider than in 1960. The
front-facing third seat in nine-
passenger station wagons has
been improved and, when not
in use, folds quickly into the
floor.
A power operated rear win-
dow is' standard on the Country
Squire models and the 9-pass-
enger Country Sedan and optio-
nal on others.
Ford introduces a new 390-
cubic-inch Thunderbird Special
V-8 engine in 1961 that is de-
signed for • effortless perfor-
mance. The Thunderbird 352
Special and the Thunderbird
292 V-8’s as well as the Mil-
eage Maker Six, all are de-
signed to deliver greater eco-
nomy on regular grade fuels.
Ford has improved all four
transmissions for 1961 - the
manual, overdrive, two-spried
Fordomatic and dual - range
Cruise-O-Matic. The Cruise-O-
Matic. The Cruise-O-Matic tran-
smission is equipped with a new
vacuum control throttle valve
linkage which provides smooth-
er, more precise shifting than
before, and elimination of per-
iodic adjustment.

Summer colds, which are re-
lated to influenza, are topping
the diseasees in San ‘Patricio Co.
at this time, according to Dr.
C. A. Selby of the County Health
Unit.
Mumps and measles are next
prevalent. Infectious hepatitis
which took an upswing over the
same number of cases for the
first half of 1959 has dropped to
ihe point where the incidence of
the disease has leveled off to
fh'e normal number of cases for
the first nine months of the year,
Dr. Selby said.
There was an increase in the
number of hepatitis cases over
the entire state during the first
half of the year, according to
a report frorii the State Health
Department at the end of June.
The report from San Patricio
County Health Unit at the same
date showed a trend toward an
upswing, but Dr. Selby said the
drop in the disease in the county
brings the number of cases down
to normal in San Pat Co.

The widow of a worker who
died before 1940 can. claim
monthly benefits if her deceased
husband had at least a year and
a half of social security work.
A disabled child and a depen-
dent parent rnay nowj also qua-
lify under this provision, Qeve-
larid explained.
Other changes extend cover-
age to the parent who works
in a business which is owned
by his son or daughter. Non-
profit organizations can get disa-
bility insurance protection for
any of their employees. The
time limit for ministers to elect
coverage has been extended to
April 15, 1962. The wife and
step children of a retired or
disabled beneficiary can now
receive benefits one year after
marriage, rather than three
years as before.

The 1961 Ford Galaxie
Club Victoria—beautifully
built to take care of people
BEAUTIFULLY BUILT TO TAKE CARE OF ITSELF
The 1961 Ford introduces a whole new concept of what a car can do for
you . . . and for itself!
It lubricates itself. New nylon bearings and a newly developed lubricant-
keep the ’61 Ford freshly greased for 30,000 miles. It deans its own oil.
The 1961 Ford’s Full-Flow oil filter lets you go 4,000 miles between
oil changes.
It-adjusts its own brakes. A “mechanical brain” keeps brakes adjusted
for the life of the lining.
Rust? Ford’s body is specially processed to resist corrosion, even to
galvanizing body panels beneath doors, #
Ford takes care of itself on the turnpike, too, with a new 390-cu. in.
Thunderbird Special V-8 that has all the punch you’ll ever need. The
352 Thunderbird Special V-8 and 292 Thunderbird V-8 thrive on regular
gas. And, for top economy, you can choose the ’61 Mileage Maker Six.
This is the 1961 Ford . . . beautifully proportioned to the Classic Ford
Look . . . beautifully built to take care of itself.
HERE’S HOW THE ’61 FORD TAKES CARE OF ITSELF
mufflers are double-wrapped -and
aluminized—normally will last thlee
times as long as ordinary mufflers.
PROTECTS ITS OWN BODY. All
vital underbody parts are specially
processed to resist rust and corro-
sion, even to galvanizing body panels
beneath doors.
TAKES CARE OF ITS OWN FINISH.
New Diamond Lustre Finish never
needs wax.
LUBRICATES ITSELF. You'll nor-
mally go 30,000 miles without a
chassis - lubrication.
CLEANS ITS OWN OIL. You’ll go
4,000 miles between oil changes
with Ford's Full-Flow oil filter.
ADJUSTS ITS OWN BRAKES. New
Truck Size brakes adjust themselves
automatically.
