SATURDAY, MAY 4, 1C57 ALTON EVENLNG TELEGRAPH It's Your Money Earning Restrictions Apply Until Age 72 By D. B. GALLAGHER "Will you answer these two questions? (I) A person reaches 65 in June, 1961, after paying the mnximum taxable limit since the beginning; he retires July 1, 1957. What would be the amount of his monthly Social Security benefit checks? "(2) Reaching 65 in July this year after having paid the maximum tax since the beginning and with covered earnings of $2,500 for this year up to retirement on July 1, would he be eligible for benefits for the last six months of this year? Where does the $1,200 earning limit come in?" W. A.

C. 'A) (1) In each case, covered earnings after will produce I he greater benefits. At 65 in 1361, benfits would be figured from monthly average covered eranings of 1952 through 1956 and should be for $102.50. This is figured from covered earnings of for each of 1952 through M54 and for $4,200 for each of 1955-6. (2) At 65 in June, 1957, benefits should he figured from covered earnings of only 1955-6 and should be for $1.08.50 monthly.

With no earnings, or monthly earnings of not over $80 after June, monthly benefit checks would be paid for the last six months of the year. Earnings restrictions are that a person under 72 and eligible for Social Security benefits may have YEARLY ernings of $1,200 and still be entitled to all 12 monthly checks. But for every $80 or fraction thereof earned over the $1,200, one monthly check is lost. But regardless of earnings over $1,200 monthly checks will be due for the months in which earnings do not exceed $80. For general information: Let's consider a person in your position who reaches 65 in July and continues to work for the remaining months of the year.

No benefit checks would be due before reaching 65 or for the month of July. Unless there are months of the year, starting with July, in which the Insured person doesn't earn over $80 earning restrictions handled just as If the person was eligible for monthly benefits for the entire year. HEAT YOURSaF TO stiag Bogs! M9 E. Bdwy. Dial 3-8877 Example: Yearly earnings are more than $1,200 but not exceeding $1,280, monthly checks would be due for tfuly through November, but none for December.

Earning over $1,280 but not more than $1,360, no checks will he due for either November or December, and so on for each additional month, meaning that with earnings of more than $1,680 no monthly earnings would be due for the year.

TO MIDNIGHT COME AND GET ACQUAINTED DOG N' SUDS Under New Management 2753 East Willis and Evelyn Ealey They A re Enduring Artif ical Flowers that Look Like the Real Thing Made from Pith of the Aralia Papyrifera PAGE THREE BKTHALTO Bouquets made of artificial flowers are far morn desirable as gifts on commemorative occasions than the genuine article because they are more enduring and the sentiment they are intended to convey goes on and on, says Mrs. Adeline Ferguson of Bethalto. Mrs. Ferguson doesn't insist that her contention doesn't, contain a trace of prejudice.

She happens lo make artificial flowers as a hobby and her out-put is so realistic that the casual observer can't distinguish between them and flowers direct from greenhouse or field. It started several years ago when Mrs. Ferguson's fourth child was horn. The birth left her temporaly invalided and she took up the making of artificial flowers as a time- passing hobby, Mrs. Ferguson's life-like posies, or "simulated reproductions," as she calls them, are made from small sheets of wood fibre bought at Chicago.

This fibre is the pith of a small tree in the bamboo family known as Aralia Papyrifera which grows in the swampy forests of Formosa. Mrs. Ferguson says she has had no special training in her work and points out that she has mastered the flower-makimr ert through self-teaching. "Anyone who likes to work with their hands can learn to do the same thing," she says. Mrs.

Ferguson says although material costs are high, her hobby has already provdn to be a lucrative one. The future 1 possibilities and advantages of her work are unlimited, she saysj The quality of her reproductions could, she thinks, create their owtt demand in fields such as home! and business decorating, end corrlmer- cial photography, since the floral pieces can be kept indefinitely.
