Aus. IS, Cily, U. SECURITY FOR YOU 74-Year-Old Found Extra Life Income By RAY HENRY AP Ncwsftatures Thumbing through his Sunday paper a few months ago, a 74 year old Denver newspaper photographer found directions for locating about $100 a month for life. It wasn't a treasure hunt. He didn't have to enter any contests or save soap wrappers.

And he hadn't been left a fortune by a relative. For Harry Rhoads, it was as simple as reading the paper. The directions were in a story telling of recent changes in the Social Security law. The changes appeared to Rhoads as if they might make him eligible for a monthly old-age his full- time job and full-time income. A couple of days later, he stopped by the Denver Social Security office and asked about the story.

Back Claim "Yes," he was told, "You're eligible not only for about S100 a month, but you can claim six months of back payments." Rhoads was so pleased about his discovery that he gave the Social Security people permission to tell his story publicly.

He was eligible for the payments under a change made in the Social Security law in 1954. First, he was found to be "fully insured" a term used to des cribe someone who's paid into Social Security long enough to be eligible. Second, he was eligible under the law change which makes benefits payable for any month after a worker reaches 72 no matter how much money he earns.

Too High Income Until the change he would have been barred from getting payments because his income was too high. But for reading that news story', Rhoads might have gone for a couple of years or more without knowing he was eligible for the payments. If he had, at least part of the money he had coming would have been lost. Social Security regulations only permit back payments of up to 12 months. Paying the money also pleased the Denver Social Security director and he pointed out: "We have no funds to advertise the program, but we do have a staff to help people who want to similar posi- City High School.

If a disability occurs that keeps you from working for an indefinite length of time, you should apply to have your earning record "frozen." This is important because your benefits are based on your average monthly earnings. If the Social Security people must average in a long period of no income, your future benefits will be lower. With the freeze in force the period of dis ability will not be counted.

2. When you're 65, you may be eligible for old-age pension pay ments. For example, if your earnings from all types of work are not over $2,080 a year, or i there are even a few months the year when you don't work af ter you're 65, you may be eligible At Age 72 3.

Market in Used Cars Is Strong The used car shortage and de creasing demand for new cars, which is sweeping the na tion, is quite evident in Mason 'ity, according to Harry Gelt manager of the Central States Auto Auction. Tor the last four months there las been -a definite decrease 01 new car sales," says Gelt, manager of one of the largest used car auctions in the nation. One reason for this, Gelt be- ieves, is that the 1955 market was oversold during the latter )art of the year. He says thai many people who ordinarily car The lack of sale of new cars has resulted in a shortage of good "The prices of used cars are as high as they were six months previous," says Gelt. He gives as an example, a 1955 Bel Air Chevrolet that was retailing at $1,895 in March and April is still retailing al the same price in August.

Normally a newer car will depreciate at about $50-360 a month, he says.
