QUESTIONS
AND ANSWERS
QUESTION: Although I am
now 65, I have been working
in my own business, and I do
not expect to retire. Would
there be any advantage to my
applying for retirement bene
fits even though I expect to
earn more now' than in the
past?
ANSWER: It would be to
your advantage to apply. It is
possible for you to have some
earnings and still receive some
social security benefits. This
would depend on the amount of
your monthly benefit and on
the amount of your yearly
earnings. Also, for any month
in which you are not actively
working in your business you
can still be paid a full benefit
regardless of your yearly earn
ings. You should discuss this
further with your Juneau social
security office.
QUESTION: I’ll be 65 in No
vember and my wife will be 62
the same month. We both work.
How long must we have work
ed in order to qualify for retire
ment benefits?
ANSWER: Men who reach 65
or women who reach 62 in 1962,
need only 2% years (11 quart
ers) of work under social secur
ity irr order to qualify for re
tirement benefits. Men and wo
men reaching these ages in 1963
will need 3 years (12 quarters).
QUESTION: Will my bene
fits start automatically when I
reach 65?
ANSWER: No. You must ap
ply for your social security
benefits in order to get them.
You can do this at your nearest
social security district office.

Housing Officials Attempting To
Work Out Program to Aid Natives
A program to provide ade
quate and safe housing for Al
askans living in remote vil
lages is of first importance,
Senator Bartlett stated today.
“For almost two years, since
the new Housing Act went in
to effect, I have been meeting
with housing officials in an at
tempt to work out a program
which will begin to meet the
needs of the people in our
Eskimo, Indian and Aleut vil
lages.”
Senator Bartlett announced
that the Alaska State Housing
Authority and the Public Hous
ing Administration were work
ing with the Bureau of Indian
Affairs in an effort to formu
late plans for a pilot program.
Studies are now being made
to determine villages which
would be eligible within the
requirements of the Public
Housing Administration and
one village will be chosen for
the initial demonstration. This
will point the way toward a
program flexible enough to
meet the various needs of dif
ferent communities.
“We are faced with some
rather formidable difficulties,
but I have no doubt whatsoever
that those will be overcome
and the program will become a
reality,” Senator Bartlett de
clared. “The agencies have ex
pressed a willingness and a de
termination to do something
about the situation and I know
that they will."

In addition to climate, Sena
tor Bartlett stated that com
munity organization was one
of the major problems. Public
Housing Administration regu
lations require a community
organization which can assume
leadership and responsibility
for the program.
“Too many of our villages
are not organized to undertake
a program such as this,” Sena
tor Bartlett stated, “but I am
sure that once the program gets
started in one of the villages,
others will want to participate
and within a few years our
villages will be safe and health
ful places in which to live.”
“We do not want, a program
which will force each village
into a mold, but one which
will give the people in the vil
ages an opportunity to develop
the types of communities they
want to live in.”

Ford ideas so contagious
they started a new trend in cars!
If you think today's cars have a lot in common, credit
the Ford sketches above. For these ideas sparked a
revolution in car design that's reflected wherever you
look on the American road.
Ford ideas have a habit of being exciting—practical,
too. Consider the innovations found only in our '63s.
There is Ford Galaxie's smooth new velvet ride. It
cost rora > iu million to bring it
to ypu, but costs you not a
penny extra to enjoy. There is
Jt
4
Ford's full twice-a-year or 6,000-mile maintenance*
schedule that cuts service worry and expense to a
minimum. There's a new manual transmission that
lets you shift d»wn from second to first without
coming to a stop. And for '63, there's the biggest
choice of models ever offered—44 in all!
Only Ford offers all these advantages now. Other
cars will eventually catch up—but
if you can't wait, here's a tip.
