These changes are: 1. Effective January 1, Social Security is extended to about 10 million additional persons, mostly farmers. The newly insured persons must start paying additional taxes up to $126 a year to pay old-ag- the costs. 2. A new formula for computing Social Security benefits goes into effect and will enable more than 6 Vi million persons now on the benefit rolls, mainly retired workers and widows, to get somewhat larger payments each month. The average increase for retired workers wall be about $6 a month. The minimum payment has been raised from $25 to $30 a month, and the maximum family benefit climbs from $168.75 to $200. 3. Workers and employers now will pay Social Security taxes, and workers will receive Social Security benefits, on annual earings up to $4,200 a year, instead of the present $3,600 a year, which increases the maximum tax from $72 to $84 a year. 4. Retired persons under 72 may earn as much as $1,200 a year without losing any monthly payments. Those over 72 and still working will get their retirement checks no matter how much they earn. 5. If a worker is totally disabled for a period of six months or longer, this period in which no Social Security payments are made by him will be disregarded in calcue or survivor benlating his efits. 6. An estimated 240,000 persons, mostly elderly widows, were made eligible to receive small benefits if their husbands or chief source of support died before September 1950 and had worked at least 18 months in covered jobs. After the president signed the bill, Social Security officials announced that thousands of widows e now ineligible for or survivor insurance checks, have been made eligible for pensions starting old-ag- old-ag- in October. Congress made changes in the bill to cover an estimated 240,000 persons, mostly widows over 65, who may now receive checks of $30 or more. These are w omen who have been e unable to get or sunn or insurance benefits because their husbands, when they died, had not worked long enough on a job covered by Social Security. The law provides that survivors of any individual who died before September 1950 and who had worked a last-nnnu- te old-ag- year and a half at a job covered by Social Security, are eligible for pensions. The deceased need not have worked that year and a half on the same job or consecutive jobs. The requirement is that he had at least six quarters of coverage before he died. Payments will be made only upon application by the widow to her local security olfice. The requirement for proof of support by the deceased individual within two years of the date of death is waived temporarily in these cases if such proof is filed before September 1956. In other words, benefits may begin before such proof of support is filed. The maximum amount an aged widow can obtain from a pension is $63.80 a month compared with $31 a month in 1940. Additional changes voted by Congress will boost this maximum in about two years to $S1.40 a month, or just under $1,000 a year tax free. The maximum of $81.40 a month will be available to women whose husbands have made regular Social Security tax payments in incomes of $4,200 a year, or more, for about a year and a half after 1954. Families already ene and surtitled to monthly vivor payments will get payments or more higher beginwith the ning September check, due early in October. old-ag- "Dogwoods Named The name dogwood for the beautiful ornamental tree or shrub so designated, originates from the fact that a decoction of the bark once was used in England to wrash mangy dogs.
