YOUR NEW
Social Security
By Paul J. File*
(Manager of the Paris Social
Security Office)
A farmer came into the Paris
Social Security Office the other
day and said: “I’ve heard that
the new social security law covers
farmers. I operate a farm in La-
mar County.”
Well, some farm people will
come under social security on Jan-
uary first—hut not farm opera-
tors. They will continue to be ex-
cluded because farm self-employ-
ment is not covered under the
amended Social Security Act.
Hired farm workers, however, will
come under social security the
first of the year, if they earn
or more cash wages in a eal-
fpB| quarter and are regularly
inployed by one farm operator.
If I were addressing you in a
hall, at this point, there would be
a number of raised hand-. First,
you’d want to know what is meant
by a regularly employed farm
worker. Well, under the new so-
cial security law, in general, he
is a person employed by one farm
operator on a full-time basis for
a period of several months. Now
to answer the second question I

know you would ask. A calendar
quarter is a three-month period
beginning on January 1, April 1,
July 1 and October 1.
But back to the subject of |
regularly employed tarm woraer.
Let’s take a typical example.
We’ll call such a farm worker Ed
Smith. He is employed by Howard
Jones. Ed has heard about the
new social security, too. He has
a wife and children, and he’s
looking forward to January,
when he can start building to-
ward old-age and survivors insur-
ance. Fortunately for Ed, he is in
a position to do just that. He will
be working continuously for Jones
during the calendar quarter be-
ginning this October. During that
time, In* will be establishing what
is known as « “service relation-
ship” with Mr. Jones. It will indi-
cate that he wants to work con-
tinuoiisly for this one farm opera-
| tor and that Jones wants him as
a regular employee.
Now let’s look forward to Jan-
urary first. That's the day when
regular farm work begins to count
toward social security insurance.
Ed will be qualified. However, 1
he must work for Jones on a :
full-time basis for at least 60 days i
in the calendar quarter begin- ]
ning on January first. Moreover, |
he must earn not less than $50 j
in cash wages for his work on 1
those 60 or more days. As long j
as he continues to do this much j
work for Jones in each calendar
Get Extra Mileage From An
In-Tune Motor-
There’s no fun driving a sluggish car,
especially when it’s costing you need-
less expense in gas and oil. Bring it
in. Let us tune it up — adjust spark
plugs.—timing, generator, carburetor—
give it the feel of a new car. Our
charges are reasonable.

quarter, and earns $50 or more
in cash wages, for his work in that
quarter, his earnings will be cred-
ited toward old-age and survivors
insurance.
But suppose in the calendar
quarter after that, Ed doesn’t
work as much as 60 days for
Jones, although he was paid $50
or more cash wages for that per-
iod. He will be credited toward
social security insurance for that
quarter but not for the one to
follow, regardless of days of work
and amount of cash wages. That
less-than-60-days of work broke
his continuous employment rela-
tionship with Mr. Jones. Ed must
start all over again.
What this all means is that a
farm worker, to have his cash
wages count toward old-age and
survivors insurance, must:—first,
work continuously through a cal-
endar quarter to establish a ser-
vice relationship, then be con-
tinuously employed by the same
farm operator, and earn not less
than $50 cash wages for 60 or
more days of work in each con-
secutive calendar quarter.
In my next article I shall de-
scribe the kinds of work that are
classed as farm work under the
amended social security law.
Arsonist Said
Legally Sane
(By Attocialed Preut
Lima, Ohio, Nov. 1 — The con-
fessed arsonist and murderer—
young Robert Dale Segee — has
been declared legally sane by
psychiatrists at the Lima State
Hospital in Ohio. Segee, 21 years
old, confessed last July that he
started the 1944 Hartford circus
fire — which took 168 lives. He
also admitted four slayings since
1938. He is due to be sentenced
next week in Circieville, Ohio.

Senator Byrd
Proposes Cuts
In Federal Costs
(By Anoeiattd Prtu)
Chicago, Nov. 1 — An out-
spoken critic of wasteful govern-
ment spending, Senator Harry
Byrd, said today in Chicago that
for the time being the government
must go deeper and deeper into
debt.
The Virginia Democrat told the
convention of National Associa-
tion of Ice Industries that Rus-
sian aggression is forcing us to
arm ourselves and our allies at
the expenditure of billions of dol-
lars. He declared that we can't
get the blood for a war economy
out of a peace-economy turnip.
At the same time, Byrd warned
that not one dollar should be wast-
ed in inefficient government or
on non-essentials. To assure this,
Byrd proposed more cuts in the
administrative costs of the Vet-
erans Administration, a reduc-
tion next year in foreign aid ex-
penses, and a cut of 10 per cent
by eliminating waste and inef-
ficiency in the military budget.

And the Red* admit that the
underground is active elsewhere in
Communist China. Ten guerrillas
are said to have been executed in
Canton. They were charged with
plotting to assassinate high Chi-
nese Communist officials.

concerted campaign of destruction
and sabotage in Manchuria ever
since the Korean fighting started
