Here stands Jerry Machell, all
six feet three inches of him, out-
side his quarters in Korea where
he is stationed with the Quarter-
master Corps.
We said all of him—well almost
all of him except the left hand
which held The Dallas Post which
he had just received at mail call.
Across the back of the picture
Jerry had written “Here is your
old boy after mail call. I got The
Dallas Post.” That was important
news for us, but apparently not
to the engraver who removed
hand and Post when he made the
cut.
Jerry is the son of Mrs.
Machell of Dallas.

Changes Made
In Old Age Law
You May Earn $1,200
And Still Get Benefits
“If you are one of the more than
23,000 persons in Luzerne County
vivors insurance payments, you
need to know about the change in
the law effective January 1, 1955,
regarding the amount you can earn
and still get social security pay-
ments,” declares Christopher G.
Wilkes-
Barre district office of the Social
Security Administration.
Boland stated that beginning Jan-
uary 1, 1955, you can earn as much
as $1,200 in a year and still accept
your benefit check for each month
of the year. If you earn more than
$1,200 in a year but not over
security) benefits for some months
After you are 72 years of age, you
may accept the benefit check for
each month regardless of the
If you expect to earn more than
$1,200 in 1955, or in the taxable
year beginning in 1955, you should
notify the Social Security Admin-
istration. A post card form for
sending in such notice was mailed
to everyone now receiving benefits.
Your benefits will be stopped while
you are working and payments will
start again when you have stopped
working. If you are not sure whe-
ther you should make a report, or
if you need more information, get
in touch with your social security
district office.
Boland pointed out that this new
provision in the law is of distinct
advantage to workers age 65 and to
beneficiaries. Under the former pro-
vision in the law, a beneficiary
under 75 lost benefits for any
month in which he earned over
$75.00 under social security. Under
the new law, the worker may earn
any amount if he is 72. If the

beneficiary is under age 72, he may
earn any amount in a month as
long as his earnings do not. total
over $1,200.00 for the year. If he
earns over $1,200.00 but not over
$2,080.00 in the year, some benefit
is still payable to the beneficiary.
If there is a month in which the
beneficiary does not earn over
80.00 he may receive a benefit for
that month no matter how much
he earned during the year. In view
of these new provisions, workers
who are 65 should contact their
social security office, especially if
period of low earnings on account
of illness or part-time employment,
