News About Your
Social Security
t'p to 10 million more per-
sons can begin to earn social
security protection as of Jan. J
1, 1955. The new amendment
bring some kinds of work un-
der the law for tho first time
and change the requirements to
include more people in certain
othv'r kinds of work.
Some people have misunder-
stood the provisions of the 1954
Amendments to the Social Se-
curity Act, according to James
M. M arley , manager of the
Austin District Social Security
Office.
"We have been asked quite of
ten whether one will be able to
qualify for benefits as a farmer
if he is already age i 5 or over,"
Mr. Marley said.
"The answer is that the far
mer already past his 65th birth-
day who is continuing to operate
a farm, will qualify even sooner
than the younger farmer. Age
does not disqualify an individual
from entering into the pro-
gram. If he is actually operating
a farm, he is required to par-
ticipate by keeping his records
in M)55, paying hi.^ social se-
curity tax on his farm income
in 1956, and then doing the
same thing for 1956. This second
payment, made in 1957, would
qualify him for benefits if he
is age 65 or older by that time."
The answers to all questions
about social security can be se-
cured by contacting the repre-
sentative of tho Austin office
who will be in Mastrop on Thurs-
day, April 7, at the Department
of Public Welfare, at 8:30 a.

a continuing program of exploration which requires expenditures in
